Put me up on the angel's shoulders

Strange Horizons has been nominated for a Hugo Award.

In its first year of eligibility. Congratulations to everyone involved with the magazine—I can't see myself in San Antonio in August, but I really hope someone I know will be there to accept on our collective behalf!

And even if not, this is news that has been warming me for a week. Between the poetry and the short mythic fiction, it was always my assumption that I was out of the running for the Hugos. It never occurred to me that I could be nominated for editing. I'll take it.

(This following on a day which contained significant stressors, but also an afternoon with [livejournal.com profile] rushthatspeaks at Powder House Park, unplanned dinner at Central Kitchen with [livejournal.com profile] derspatchel, and a new post from Abbie the Cat—it's all right by me.)

Congratulations to all of ye on the Hugo nomination! I'm delighted to hear that.

I'm glad there were good things to balance the stressors. As always, Abbie the Cat's deep insights into all manner of things are welcome.

Congratulations! And as [livejournal.com profile] fjm was saying at an Eastercon panel yesterday, the boost to sales / visibility doesn't come from winning an award but from being on the short list.

Congratulations, very well deserved.

I expect some of the other editors will be going. Jed was in Reno and Brit was in Chicago, so it seems plausible.

(I think there should be a Hugo for poetry.)

It's warming for all readers to see Strange Horizons be nominated. So many good things never seem to get noticed!

Congratulations to you and the whole team. Gesamtkunstwerk, indeed.
