We read his novels, both his science He was only 59. Our first progress report had fiction and his mainstream works, and we knew been issued in March and had included David him as a vibrant and enthusiastic member of our Haddock’s article on Iain M Banks’ London. community. He will, of course, be sorely missed. The news of Iain’s illness came shortly after that progress report was produced. He contacted us As we’ve already said on our website, Iain M Banks after he received his diagnosis to say that he felt he remains one of Loncon 3’s Guests of Honour. For had to withdraw from the convention along with us there was never a question of doing anything his other public engagements. We said that, if he else.

Robin Hobb This is probably the biggest news of the last six months of my life. The irony is that to me, it isn’t news at all.

In 2002, I wrote these words: “It is like the anticipation that a clever minstrel evokes when he pauses, letting silence pool before sweeping into the final refrain of the song. Sometimes a gap can be seen like a promise yet to be fulfilled.” That was close to the end of Fool’s Fate, the final volume in The Tawny Man Trilogy.

I knew then that I needed a break before I went on with that tale. I never thought that gap would be eleven years. I knew, when I wrote those words, that there was one more trilogy to write, one that would bring the threads together, sweep away the final cobwebs to reveal the secrets and cap off the tales of the Fitz and the Fool. I knew where my characters would take it and at that time I believed my readers would be happy to be carried along.

The reasons for all the delay are many and various and probably make sense only to me. I will only Photo: Robin Hobb say here that as I write this, the manuscript for The Fitz and the Fool Trilogy, book one, The Fool’s before we bought a small commercial building Assassin, is with the publishers. I wrote it in fits and he began remodeling it to fulfill his dream and starts, with many doubts. I put things in. I of running his own judo dojo. Oak Tree Dojo, took them out.

I foresee only more the writer will deliver what the readers expect? success there. Who did I write for? The readers? Myself? An idealized reader I’d never met? And I gardened. My keyboard is the tool I use for typing. The tools I use for writing are more The answer I settled on was that my obligation was often a shovel, a rake, a hoe, and some hand to my characters. They had to do what they would tools. Through the years, I’ve found that the time do, given the circumstances of the tale. I couldn’t spent typing is far less than the time spent trying to change where the current of Story was carrying decide how the dialogue should go while seeding them.

This last year, we decided to as I wrote it, characters waltzed in that I hadn’t again keep chickens, mostly bantams, a pair of big anticipated meeting, the plot twisted and tangled white geese (Ferdinand and Isabella), and Khaki in ways I hadn’t foreseen, and I was, as always, Campbell ducks.

My husband Fred stopped generously with vermiculite to lighten it a bit, and sailing and was retired for about twenty minutes planted in it. For the first time ever, we grew watermelon and cantaloupe that actually yielded fruit. Cucumbers, potatoes, corn, radishes, lettuce, and walking onions that happily hopped out of their beds and wandered off.

We made mistakes, of course. An early windstorm blew over my greenhouse, scrambling many of our plants. Many of the seedlings I thought were melons turned out to be pumpkins. As I write this in October, those are still in the final stages of growth and ripening. I haven’t even counted how many of those we will harvest, even after the deer have munched their way through quite a few.

On 2 July roughly 200 of them got together in New York City to hold the World Science Fiction Convention. The convention was hosted at Caravan Hall on East 59th Street in Manhattan and the initiation of the event was at least partly due to its slightly larger cousin, the 1939-1940 World’s Fair being held in Queens.

While it was conceived as a one-time event, it triggered another convention the following year in Chicago, then one in Denver, and that started a tradition that carries through to this day. While the intervening years have changed the scale of the event and sent it all over the globe, the scope is still the same today as it was 74 years ago... to allow a community to gather together to celebrate their shared love of science fiction and fantasy.

Part of the tradition of that celebration now is the awarding of the Hugos, to recognise the best in science fiction, fantasy, and fandom from the prior year. From their inception in 1953, the Hugo Awards have grown to be the most prestigious awards in the genre. As host of the 2014 event, Loncon 3 will be hosting the Hugo Awards for the best work in 2013. As this also marks the 75th anniversary of that first convention in 1939, Loncon 3 will be hosting a Retro Hugo Award process for the best work of 1938.

The Retro Hugos will use the same rules and categories as the current awards. There will be parallel nominating and voting processes. The eligibility for nomination and voting is identical – if you can nominate or vote for the 2014 awards, you can nominate or vote for the 1939 awards. If you’re not comfortable joining in, that’s perfectly fine; you don’t need to participate in the 1939 process to have your 2014 nominations/votes counted (and vice versa, should you feel so inclined).

While you may have a slight and very reasonable concern that you’re not aware of the eligible works for 1938, you can read articles on our website that provide a sampling of the eligible people/works for the year. Please, enjoy the guides we’ve prepared and we look forward to your assistance in helping us celebrate the best in our field for the year that started it all.

Note: Young Adult and military memberships count as attending memberships and are eligible to nominate. Child memberships, one day memberships, and hall passes do not. Deadline All ballots must be received prior to 31 March 2014, 11:59 PM PDT. Please mail as early as possible to ensure that your ballot will be counted.

Paper ballots should be mailed to Retro Hugo Nominations, c/o Dave McCarty, 2617 N Richmond, Chicago, IL 60647, USA. Taping the ballot shut is permissible in USA domestic mail; however we recommend mailing your ballot in an envelope. Ballots mailed outside the USA must be in an envelope. How to Nominate by Mail or Online Please fill in the eligibility section on the previous page. Do not forget to sign the ballot – we will not count unsigned ballots.

• You may nominate up to five persons or works in each category. However, you are permitted (and even encouraged) to make fewer nominations or none at all if you are not familiar with the works that fall into that category. The nominations are equally weighted: the order in which you list them has no effect on the outcome.

• “No Award” will appear automatically in every single category on the final ballot – there is no need to include that choice on the nomination form.

• If your nominee is not well known, please provide a source where his or her 1938 work in that category may be found. This information makes identifying the work you intend to nominate easier for us.

• Please type or print clearly. We cannot count illegible ballots.

• Please note that items may be relocated to a different category by the Hugo Awards Administrator if they are within 20% of the category boundary (such as in the case of the written fiction and dramatic presentation categories). • Online nominations will be available via the Loncon 3 website: www.loncon3.org. You will need your membership number and PIN, which is printed on your mailing label, to nominate via the web. You may email [email protected] to request a PIN.

The final Hugo Ballot containing the nominees in each category that received the most nominations will be distributed by Loncon 3 in April/May 2014. Only members of Loncon 3 (including those who join after 31 January 2014) will be eligible to vote on the final ballot. If you have questions, please email [email protected]. Eligibility Works published in 1938 for the first time anywhere or for the first time in English are eligible for the Retro Hugo Awards being awarded in 2014.

Books are considered to have been published on the publication date, which usually appears with the copyright information on the back of the title page.
