Wooooooo!
Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

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.

Can I say I contributed? I'm not going to declare myself a Hugo winner, but I'm pretty darned close, in Kevin Bacon terms.

That is precisely the discussion going on. Or one of the discussions.

It's really, really silly.
In other news, I've done a thing. The Leonard Cohen Title Challenge (Any Freaking Song but "Hallelujah"). [link]
This is the most activity I've managed in fandom since Yuletide. It's sad. It really is.

Mustn't allow those tawdry fanficcers to get too close to the "real" writers.
