For Your Consideration

Lady Business says this so much better than I could :

“ The Archive of Our Own by The Organization for Transformative Works — I want this nominated every single year because it is an absolutely amazing trove of speculative fiction works and speculative fiction works ABOUT speculative fiction works and speculative takes on existing cultural narratives and basically it counts, it counts, it counts. There are major contributions from the dev team every single year, so every year there’s a new reason to nominate! [Ira]



The Archive of Our Own by The Organization for Transformative Works — No, you’re not seeing things, I am reccing this again. Guess what! The platform itself! Is a piece of fanwork! By fans! Anyway, I have been on this bandwagon for about four years now and I’m back on my bullshit in 2019. I love AO3, that it exists, that we no longer have to worry about the fanwork we share there getting monetized or deleted because investors are having a temper tantrum, I am so grateful to all the fans who work hard (as volunteers! At butt o'clock, sometimes!) to make it possible, and it’s great and important. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk. [Renay] “



Last year we missed out on a nomination by one vote ( the resolution for voting for nominations is complex ).

But voting is easy if you are a members of Dublin 2019 and the 2018 Worldcon, Worldcon 76. An example of a substantial change in 2018 is the elasticsearch upgrade which made exclusion much easier.

The deadline for nominations is Friday March 15th, 2019 at 11:59 pm PDT (GMT+9). You can make as many changes as you like to your nomination ballot until then. Your current ballot will be emailed to you an hour after you stop making changes to it.



There is often a voters pack which often has the full books that are nominated or at least a useful extract.
