Nominations have opened for the second Dragon Awards for Science Fiction + Fantasy:

http://application.dragoncon.org/dc_fan_awards_nominations.php

Includes categories for books, comics, TV, vidya, etc - it's free to nominate, deadline is 24th July 2017.

Dragoncon itself is 1st - 4th Sept in Atlanta - http://www.dragoncon.org/

The Hugos have opened their nominations too:

>Those who joined one of the qualifying conventions before the start of January will have already received their unique personalised link to make nominations. (31 January was the cutoff date to join the qualifying conventions in order to nominate; Worldcon 75 members who join after that date will be able to vote on the Final Ballot when it is announced, but will not have nomination rights.)

If you're eligible to vote you should have received your 'unique personalised link' so that link above is pretty much useless. However, this year they've changed the voting rules because reasons:

So how that will effect the final ballot we'll have to wait and see.

This year, Worldcon is in Helsinki, Finland, on 9th - 13th August:

Meanwhile, Sad Puppies 5 is led this year by author Sarah Hoyt (last year was Kate Paulk backed up by Hoyt and fellow author Amanda Green) - who's going with the idea that it's better to ditch the Hugos and focus on supporting the Dragons. After the Hugos clique showed what they're about the last 2 years, it's probably best to leave them to self-destruct. That, and Hoyt has said better not to waste any more money on them - voting in the Hugos is not free.

As usual, expect butthurt and pre-planned narrative Misogyny! from socjus they really are triggered by anything Puppy related - especially as the awards dates draw nearer.

In their ongoing bid to put themselves out of business whilst simultaneously boosting indie sales, traditional book publishers have started hiring 'sensitivity readers' to edit books before going to print. These are not proofreaders or copy editors looking for punctuation or grammatical errors etc, these are super-special snowflakes looking for content that might be offensive.

Literary Hub - http://archive.is/bR6MM

Not sure if the books will then feature 'Sensitively Edited' on the cover - a sure sign not to buy if they do. Once again it's just publishers bowing to socjus pressure. Be wary of this shit seeping into comics, game dev, etc. Btw, ask a snowflake and they'll say it's not censorship.

At last! Having a gender studies degree could get you a job after all.

I'd be all for it if it was "accuracy readers" who help an author get confusing aspects of a culture they're not part of to be more correct.

Of course, the SJWs can't even implement a good idea without making it sound and feel like a repressive, censorious powerplay.
