Episode 91 is now up! We discuss the Clarke Award winner, the Hugo Voter Packet, and site selection at Chengdu, before getting really quite digressive about GUFF and some fairly outlandish fundraising ideas… Finally, we do picks, and there are some hints/spoilers in the Mastodon hashtags.

Is the #ChengduWorldcon #Worldcon website down for anyone else? I'd like to start submitting stuff for this year's #HugoAwards, but I can't connect to https://en.chengduworldcon.com/hugo-awards/ or to https://chengduworldcon.com/ - and I only see WHOIS entries for the latter in #DNS, not A records.

Oh my fucking word, #Hugo nominations have been open a week and I Just Now got an email from #ChengduWorldCon informing me that I can nominate.
Bless their hearts.

To elaborate on my last RT, the email from the #ChengduWorldcon #HugoAwards team was from Hugoteam@message.chengduworldcon.com and had the subject line “2023成都世界科幻大会雨果奖提名说明 The 2023 Hugo Awards Nomination Notice”, for anyone looking for that email. #Worldcon
