Final 2010 Hugo Nomination Ballot

I submitted my final Hugo nomination ballot last night. I didn't quite get through as many new stories or novels since I posted my preliminary ballot, but on the whole, I'm happy with what I have here.

I will be very interested to see the final ballot and how many of my nominations make the ballot.

Novel
Boneshaker, by Cherie Priest
By the Mountain Bound, by Elizabeth Bear
Finch, by Jeff VanderMeer
The Quiet War, by Paul McAuley
Warbreaker, by Brandon Sanderson

Novella
“Getaway”, by Emma Bull (Shadow Unit)
“The Language of Dying”, by Sarah Pinborough (PS Publishing)
“Starfall”, by Stephen Baxter (PS Publishing)
"The God Engines”, by John Scalzi (Subterranean Press)
“Sugar”, by Leah Bobet (Shadow Unit)

Novelette
“First Flight”, by Mary Robinette Kowal (Tor.com)
“Eros, Philia, Agape”, by Rachel Swirsky (Tor.com)
“It Takes Two”, by Nicola Griffith (Eclipse Three)
“The Best Monkey”, by Daniel Abraham (The Solaris Book of New Science Fiction, Vol 3)

Short Story
”Snow Dragons”, by Elizabeth Bear (Subterranean)
“…That Has Such People In It”, by Jennifer Pelland (Apex Digest)
“Nine Sundays in a Row”, by Kris Dikeman (Strange Horizons)
”Spar”, by Kij Johnson (Clarkesworld)
“Bespoke”, by Genevieve Valentine (Strange Horizons)

-shit, wait, is the Dikeman story eligible? Did I just mess that up? No matter. It's a really good story. You should go read it.

Okay, this is going to happen once, and once only. I am just enough of an arsehole to nominate myself one time. See, I figure it like this: after the awards are announced and the lists of all of the works and the folks garnering any votes are released...I expect to see a 1 next to my name. That's okay. I just want to see it once. It's obviously not an accomplishment, which is why I'm only going to do it once, but it'll still amuse me and be fun to see. Next year I'll find a real fifth.

John W. Campbell Award
Kelly Barnhill

I've looked at the list of folks eligible for the Campbell this year and I recognize very few names, and most of the ones I do recognize, I haven't read. Except for Kelly Barnhill. She's fantastic and I would love to see her on the final ballot.
