Woo! Then we are part of the Hugo Award-winning collective!
Indeed we are!
WooHoo!
Wooooooo!
Yay!
Dear God, the kerfuffle over the AO3 winning the Hugo is just ridiculous. I'm having flashbacks.
Oh, please tell me Victoria Bitter showed up at the ceremony to accept the award for all their hard work!
Naomi Novik accepted the award and asked everyone in the audience who was part of AO3 to stand up. It was awesome.
Then the World Science Fiction Society came over and made the OTW clarify that none of us fanfic authors were allowed to say we were Hugo winners. Because you're not. You're just devaluing the award if you say that. Maybe you think it's funny, but you're just being assholes all over social media.
It was a super-tactful way to address what I'm sure is a legitimate misuse of a trademark by a very small number of people.
