Nothing I nominated made the list, but in this category I nominated things that had a chance of making an Australian list, but didn't have enough global/US popularity/presence to make the Hugo list.<br /><br />As for the note on the Hugo packet— whoops! I wrote the intro before I got it but of course finished reading and posted after. Fixed.

After all the fuss and carry-on about the Puppies, is there a less well known slate going on? One whose members don't do stupid things like announcing it to the world? I'm remembering the year when the winner of our local "best media fan writer" was someone who hadn't actually written anything that year and, while he did like media SF, never wrote it or about it. I suspect a bunch of his friends nominated him for fun. A nice guy, but he hadn't written anything! <br />So, it can be done. Without all the public carry-on of the Puppies.<br />It seems a little <br />odd that you're still waiting for your Hugo packet this late in the piece.
