(If you want to <em>vote<\/em> in next year's Hugos, you'll need a membership in next year's WorldCon.)<\/p>\n<p>So as you read and watch and listen to stuff this year, take notes on the best work you encounter. And spread the word about it&mdash;if other people don't know about it, they can't nominate it.<\/p>\n<p>Blog about your favorites, tweet about them, join the <a href=\"http:\/\/hugo-recommend.livejournal.com\/\">hugo-recommend<\/a> LiveJournal community. If you're a member of NESFA, add works and people to the <a href=\"https:\/\/sites.google.com\/site\/nesfareadinglists\/home\/nesfa-2014-hugo-recommendations\">NESFA 2014 Hugo recommendations<\/a> page. And keep track of what you liked, so that you can remember it all when it comes time to nominate, which will probably be January 2015.<\/p>\n<p>A few nominating votes can make a big difference. A friend of mine was one of the 43 people who nominated John Chu's story &ldquo;The water that falls on you from nowhere&rdquo; this year; if there had been one fewer nominating vote, that story wouldn't have made the ballot, and thus wouldn't have won the Hugo. That's an unusual situation, but still; if you like something you encounter this year, please nominate it for next year.<\/p>\n<p>You don't have to be familiar with the whole field to nominate. Just nominate works and people that you would like to see win a Hugo.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reminder to all of you who voted in this year&#8217;s Hugos: When the time comes, you can nominate for next&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[82],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14965","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-awards"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14965","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14965"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14965\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14965"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14965"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14965"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
