They're in Kansas City April 25 - 28. The authors decide the Nebulas; the readers decide the Hugos. Now, being a member of the second group of SF folks, I'm much more likely to be impressed by something a bunch of readers enjoyed. How do the rest of you feel? Peace.
I think the authors are probably better qualified to judge. On the other hand, Hugo winning novels tend to be pretty good, too. I wish that every fantasy novel didn't have to be a 5 part series, as seems to be the standard these days.
I think they are the most coveted prizes any author could get,Arthur,Isaac two of my all time favorites have won both of them Hugo and Nebulae... bye!
