Weird Tales and the Hugos?

It's been a great year for Weird Tales, and Stephen Segal emailed to say that on their website they have a great round-up, making a case for being nominated for a Hugo in the semi-prozine category. Below the cut I'm stealing from Sir Tessa's recent post, because I'm lazy (hope she'll forgive me).Especially note the fiction you can read online, from various issues this year. I'd like to second Sir Tessa's enthusiastic endorsement of "Renovations". I'm frankly shocked that this amazing story hasn't been taken for a year's best.Anyway, check it out, and check out the rest--there's so much great stuff there. Ann has a sure eye and a unique skill for picking great stories by new writers. (More on Ann in 2008 here.) So take advantage of it--read some online fiction. And think about nominating for the Hugo if you think it's worthy.
