Totally off topic but this Novel, Novella, etc. seems to only work with Novels right?
Grandpa – Navel
Dad – Navella
Son – Navellette
So whats next for the Novel? The Noveltine?
I’ll go back under my rock now…
:O OK, who let Trent out from under his rock?
I will admit it that I am a Scalzi fanboy, but not a stalker, and I hope he wins at least one of the awards he is nominated for. And finally, I managed to actually read a book from an award list prior to it actually being put on a list…
Must mark that one down in my book of accomplishments.
It is so refreshing to see a nomination slate without Star Trek, Star Wars, or Harry Potter on it.

Errr…I guess you didn’t see the whole list!
Batman Begins
The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
Serenity
Wallace & Gromit in the Curse of the Were-Rabbit
…Dramatic Presentation (Long Form)
and:
Battlestar Galactica: “Pegasus”
Doctor Who: “The Empty Child” & “The Doctor Dances”
Doctor Who: “Dalek”
Doctor Who: “Father’s Day”
Jack-Jack Attack
Lucas Back in Anger
Prix Victor Hugo Awards Ceremony
…Dramatic Presentation (Short Form)
I don’t mind Potter winning a movie Hugo. I am glad that the latest book isn’t up for novel. In fact, this is probably the least embarrassing slate of nominees I’ve seen in a while. It is also more representitive of where the genre is going right now than the last few years. I wish comics like Desolation Jones, The Atheist, Fear Agent, and the new Conan were eligable.
