jaeleslie at 11:38pm on 28/04/2004As is my custom I have been reading all the Hugo-nominated short fiction, and I just wanted to remark that Charles Stross is a fucking genius. I seem to recall he had another story in the same narrative series nominated last year.
But I am mentioning it specially because he is a Guest of Honor at Ploktacon this weekend I think, and it is another reason to feel (choose one) sad/ left out/ grumpy/ poor/ that I am not there.
Shall I go look up whether his story won. Shall I summarize and/or critique the work (a linked series of stories). Shall I check whether this is really the right date for Ploktacon. No, I shall not do any of those things, I shall post this comment and go finish reading another short story.
