\nSo I’ve said before that I wasn’t sure if I was going to vote for the editor awards<\/a>. I’ve ended up not doing so for a couple of reasons, mainly because I haven’t the faintest what makes for a good editor and I would mean largely voting by name recognition. Even with the stories\/novels provided in the voters package it’s hard to say how much or how little the editor mattered for the success of them.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe Retro Hugos<\/a> on the other hand I did vote in, though only in the fiction and artist categories.I know too little about the fan categories to make an educated choice there:\n<\/p>\n
