NESFA® 2000 Hugo Recommendations
23 May 2001 — mlo
Besides the Hugos for the year 2000 the 2001 Worldcon, Philcon, will be
running the Retro-Hugos for 1950. The rules and
categories are exactly the same.
NESFA continues to maintain a list of Good Stuff to read. Any NESFA member
who reads something that they would like to recommend to others to be considered
for a Hugo nomination can add it to the list. We will publish it from time to
time in Instant Message and on the nets. (Feel free to reproduce it
provided you reproduce it intact!) It's neither definitive nor complete, but it
contains the stories, novels and non-fiction works that a bunch of well-read
fans feel may be worthy of a Hugo nomination. Remember also that for this year
works first published elsewhere in 1999 but not published in the US until after
31 January 2000 are also eligible for the 2000 Hugo.
