The ongoing sourness of humble pie
Sep. 13th, 2006 11:05 amI have now seen the Hugo voting data in a readable font size, and it was even worse than I thought when I couldn't really read the numbers in the convention newsletter. No Award (no, not Marty Cantor's No Award) got 36 first place votes for Best Fanzine, and Chunga got 19. We were the only fanzine to get fewer first place votes than No Award, but I had thought the wee font said 29. Even with the unreadable font size, however, I knew that we didn't pass No Award until after fourth place votes had been counted.
Ouch, please! Ah well, it is of course an honor to be humiliated.
On a less sour note, the nomination data is interesting too. Banana Wings got the most nominations for Best Fanzine (although just barely), but ended up coming in fourth in the voting. I guess it reflects the fact that Interaction members could nominate but not vote, but it's still kind of strange.
