I follow Chuck Gannon who has been nominated for both Hugo and Dragoncon awards. We're friends, after meeting back several years ago, when I won a raffle were he was to write a short story with a character base on me. He sent me several emails asking that I sign up to vote on Dragoncon Award's page and vote for him. Since I haven't been able to read
Raising Caine yet, I decline to vote. I feel that if I'm going to vote for an award, I must read every book nominated.
I read the Dragoncon Awards rule when they were announce and am active on in the
SMOF community. So I'm well aware of the Hugo rules and any changes being debated right now. Sadly I can't afford either membership at even an supporting level to be able to vote for the Hugo's. As a life member in Baltimore Science Fiction Society, I can also vote on books nominated for the
Compton Crook award.
Now if you all want to donate to a fund to send me to next year Worldcon in Finland, I would be happy to send you my PayPal email address.
