Uncanadian behavior on my part
Apr. 27th, 2011 03:33 pmmondyboy pointed this out:
And despite being a nominee myself I was compelled to drop by and point out, among other things, that Silver founded the Sidewise Awards and blogs, that File 770 has won six times and been nominated 23 times for this award (so you'd think someone who follows this catagory would have heard of it [1]) and has a blog, and that I've been online since the Mulroney Years and I have a blog. Yes, Livejournal counts.
Not to snub the others; it was the post I could make with the least amount of effort on my part.

1:You are categorically forbidden from asking me when I heard about File770.
But don’t even get me started on the Best Fanzine and Best Fan Writer awards. Maybe I’m exposing my ignorance here, but beyond StarShipSofa, I haven’t heard of a damn one, nor am I familiar with any of the writers. My beef, obviously, is the lack of presence of blogs, bloggers and online writers. Where’re the Nialls (Harrison and Alexander)? Where’s Abigail Nussbaum or Adam Whitehead? No nod for SF Signal? Really?
