Then, after I made the post, a commenter (AG) made the following remark:. I wanted to ask the following question:. Science fiction fandom in the US h...

How to Fix the Hugos. April 20, 2015. I have spent way too much time this last week reading the various back and forth articles about the Hugo award debacle. For those of you who aren’t familiar with this, the short version is as follows. Two groups, one of right-leaning fans (the Sad Puppies. Subsequently, everyone and his aunt has jumped into the debate to express an opinion, including George R. R. Martin.
