Worldcon Members, Nominate Nordguard for a Hugo!
14 years ago
General
It's Awards Nomination Season, including the Hugo Awards!
Nordguard: Across Thin Ice is eligible to be nominated this year for the Hugo's "Best Graphic Story" category!
This is really pretty awesome. The category is a relatively new addition to the Hugo Awards, and as such, the "underdogs" have more of a chance of getting noticed and included.
So what does that mean? It means I need you fine Worldcon members to nominate Across Thin Ice!
To nominate, you must either currently be, or have been, a member of either a 2011, 2012 or 2013 Worldcon. (If you are not a Worldcon member and want to become one, you may join Chicon 7 or LonStarCon 3, the 2013 Worldcon, before January 31st 2012 to be eligible.)
The deadline for nominations is March 11th, 2012!
The Hugo nominations are being handled though the Chicon Hugo Nomination Website. You can submit a ballot either online (click here!), or mail-in a paper ballot (more info!).
If you happen to be a Worldcon member and you haven't yet cast your nominations, we would greatly appreciate the moment of your time to include Nordguard: Across Thin Ice on your ballot!
The pertinent information you'd need would be:
Catagory: Best Graphic Story
Title: Nordguard: Across Thin Ice
By: Teagan Gavet/Tess Garman
(For "Magazine," I'd say: Publisher, Sofawolf Press, ISNB 978-1-936689-10-1, #
You can put up to five names down for each category on the Nominations Ballot, so you can give all your favorites from 2011 a shot at being nominated this year!
Thank you very much!
It's been a whirlwind kind of year so far. Really, thank you everyone who's gotten a copy of Across Thin Ice, left kind comments, shared the book with friends, penned great reviews, sent nice emails, or simply just said at conventions "I can't wait until the next book!"
Being able to write and make comics is truly a dream realized for both of us. It's exciting, and encouraging at how well the book has been received, both within and outside of the fandom. Thank all of you guys for that! :]
Now, back to sketching the next Nordguard book I go...
Cheers,

Still think Londen is gonna be a bad guy.....
Gonna become a member to add one more vote.
Worldcon (or rather, the World Science Fiction Convention) has been around since 1939! As the name suggests, it travels around the world and has a different name to reflect each location--here's a list! You might have heard of it before, just under a different name. :]
Netherlands - 1
Australia - 4
Canada - 5
UK- 6
US - 52
I wouldn't call that around the world. ;3
And I've never heard of any of those names! but hen again.. Sweden is sadly very.. "Geek"-free. : /
Well no matter, good luck for the win!
When I buy a scifi novel, having a hugo award nominee label on it means it is quality.
More seriously, anthros in comics exist from before there was a definition for the word furry.
And in comics they were not in sci-fi stories, sci-fi for me needs an anticipation theme. For
example, fantasy, elves etc do not qualify either in my mind.
Ursa awards seem a more likely target.
But if Northguard qualifies to enter and get nominated all the more power. It'd be very cool to see it pasted with the label. :3
HA! take that, Mainstream!
and yes, alt universes are considered Sci-fi
