So I posted a thank-you list to an unlinked page on my blog so I could mention it during the 1 minute long “speech” I’d be getting if the incredible does happen…
…because one NEVER knows, right?
Then the page (not post, page) got crossposted to my Facebook feed by some automated thing I installed ages ago.
Ooops.
If you’re confused, so was I. Argh! Thank goodness my sister called me. The results doesn’t start getting announced in the big ceremony for a whole two more hours folks, and I’m betting on whoever won the airplane fight.
(But hope springs eternal!)
However, I will now punch Facebook in the teeth at the first opportunity. Grrrr.
See you on the other side of tonight, dear old world. (I’ll tell you about my wonderful, amazing summer trip either way.)
Thankfully, I don’t do Facebook, so I was not confused. I am, however, waited with bated breath for the results.
You not winning tonight was the only sour note for me. Congratulations on being nominated at least, and now, you’ll just have to win an actual Hugo next year!
Sorry about not winning. But there’s always the short story Hugos to shoot for.
I don’t think Melissa can win anything. She was on the panel itself.

Huh? I’m not seeing how this is a response to my post at all. Sorry…
Aw, crap. Well, them’s the breaks, I suppose. I’ll have to buy you a beer when you get back.
Honestly, no delusions of grandeur here. I’ll freely admit that the results of this thing were decided by an airplane toss.
Folks,
Hey, it’s all cool, as I was saying to David the night of the ceremony.
And David, had it been determined by an airplane toss, that would be grandeur on a scale unparalleled in Hugo/Campbell history. Our airplanes were mere paper, though. ;)
See you at some other con, eventually…
Yes, but I threw mine with the force and focus that a real airplane would’ve required.
That was my secret. ;)
Heh, me, I hope to throw airplanes with the force and focus normal people would require throwing paper ones! Then I’ll know I’m in business!
Congrats again! :)
