Eugie and the 2016 Hugos.

No, there haven’t been any new stories by Eugie published this year. I’m still waiting for word on her novel (there’s a lot of waiting involved with publishing), and I haven’t done much with her other few remaining works.

But, her short story, When It Ends, He Catches Her was released as a audio podcast in March 6th, 2015. That’s a dramatic reading, which is, a dramatic presentation. When It Ends, He Catches Her is a fabulous story and the dramatic presentation of it, the reading, is marvelous. If the story was my favorite in 2014, then it is not surprising that I find the reading to be the best Short Form Dramatic Presentation.

And this does fit under Dramatic Presentation. There is a podcast category, but it is for “fancasts,” which are an entirely different thing.

So, the story that would have been nominated for a Hugo if the Puppies hadn’t mucked up the whole thing actually has another shot at it. I don’t expect it to get nominated. People don’t think that way. People won’t consider it. But I will. I do.

So for my nominating ballot, right in that first slot for Dramatic Presentation, will be Pseudopod 428: When It Ends, He Catches Her, written by Eugie Foster and preformed by Tina Connolly.
