The 2014 Hugo Ballot

The icons sad and rabid indicate nominees who were on those respective slates. Please realize that this does not necessarily correlate with anything, including quality of the work, Hugo-worthiness, willingness to be put on the slate in the first place, or even political leanings. 60% of nominees were on the Sad Puppies slate, 67% on the Rabid Puppies slate. (For unfathomable reasons, neither slate contained Best Fan Artist nominees…)
