So, aside from the gay guy (who isn't going to win, lets be real), the new faces of western literature are pretty much the same person, you know the "fattish" weird girl on your school that used to eat lunch alone but somehow had this heavy air of self-importance about them, yeah, they are the one writing all the books now.
And by books, I mean the same tropey heavy YA meshed with sci-fy/fantasy bullshit.
I would say chances are good for our girl Lindsay, none of them have the recognition and following Lindsay has, and aside from the latina girl who probably spend a week and a half in latin America visiting relatives and knows 10 phrases in spanish, the rest is just as white and boring as Lindsay herself.
So you go girl, nothing can't stop the Ellis express, next stop, you gonna be talking about your book on Ellen! Hope this will be enough for you to get back on twitter and continue to entertain us, you know, the thing you are actually good for.
Oddly, Jimenez ia the first man nominated for award since 2016... the last time non loons tried to get people nominated.
Ironically, Lindsay is at a disadvantage being straight and white. Last few winners are all gay, Asian, black or SFWA's token native American, Rebecca Roanhorse.
Why is it not a Hugo Award if it's awarded at the Hugos? It would be like they awarded a grammy during the oscar's. It doesn't really make sense and seems needlessly confusing.
Used to be because it honored Joseph Campbell, a big name editor in early science fiction, and it was sponsored by one of his former magazines.
Gicen they changed it because a former award winner went on a tirade about how rascist Campbell was in her award speech... which was later itself given a Hugo Award, I shit you not, they renamed it.
Given the original reason for the separation is gone, I don't know why they bother.
