NESFA continues to maintain a list of Good Stuff to read. Any NESFA
member who reads something that they would like to recommend to others
to be considered for a Hugo nomination can add it to the list. We will publish it from time to time in Instant Message
and on the nets. (Feel free to reproduce it provided you reproduce it
intact!) It's neither definitive nor complete, but it contains the
stories, novels and non-fiction works that a bunch of well-read fans
feel may be worthy of a Hugo nomination.
- These are items first published (or first published in English) in 2012 and eligible for the Hugos to be presented at Lone Star Con 3, August 29-September 2, 2013, in San Antonio, Texas.
- Some items published outside the U.S. in prior years but first
published in the U.S. in 2012 are also listed, since the Worldcon
Business Meeting usually extends their eligibility for the Hugos.
- The nominating deadline will probably be some time in March 2013.
- For more information about the Hugos, see theHugoAwards.org.

Length: The complete running time excluding
previews, promotional trailers, commercials, public service
announcements, or other extraneous material, based on the first general
release of the item. According to some recent Hugo Administrators,
nominations made in Long Form of items running 90 minutes or less, or in
Short Form of items running over 90 minutes, will be ignored unless
they can be moved to the other category without increasing the number of
nominations there beyond five. Most recent Hugo administrators,
however, have said that they do not do this and will honor the
nominators wishes for works that are within the 20% overlap boundary
(that is, less than 108 minutes).
IMDB: The running time is from the Internet Movie Database.
Noteworthy Works by Potential Campbell Nominees
(We do not make recommendations on these pages for the Hugo awards
which are given to people (such as Best Editor or Best Artist), but for
the Campbell Award for Best New Writer we do note recommended stories by people we believe to be eligible.)
