Say, should there be a Hugo for Best Fan Tweeter?

[james_davis_nicoll]

I think that is best fan writer. Not really sure were my various efforts fit into the Hugo categories.

In broad strokes, if you got paid for it, then it (or whatever it is part of) is a Related Work. If not, and it's primarily audio or video, it's a Fancast. If neither of the above, it qualifies you for Fan Writer.

(For more nuance, see here.)

Does my patreon make me not eligible for best fan writer?

[petrea_mitchell]

Not necessarily. What matters is if your work appears in a professional publication. See the link in my previous comment for a definition of "professional".

Anybody's Twitter or other social media activity counts for Fan Writer. The situation with your reviews site is murkier. If the Patreon is explicitly a funding source for that site, then see the definition of "professional". If it meets that, then it's a Related Work. If it's not professional, but it fits the definition of a semiprozine, then it's eligible for Best Semiprozine and it qualifies you for Fan Writer. If it's neither professional nor a semiprozine, it's fan writing and it qualifies you for Fan Writer.

It is understood that this is kind of a mess.

Enough of one I am unsure how to do a Hugo post. I think I can justify
