Well, can't say I'm surprised in the slightest. If anything I'm surprised there weren't more stories like this sooner.
WSFS, like FIFA and the Olympics, need to take a country's record into consideration before awarding events.

So I’ve only caught a periphery of the batshittery about the #Worldcon2023 #HugoAwards but this is a pretty good thread by Rahaeli over on Bluesky:

MT VOID #2299: Schedule of discussion groups, comments by #MarkRLeeper on #TCM for November #OfMiceAndMen; #TheHugoAwards #HugoAwards #Worldcon #Worldcon2023 #ChengduWorldcon; links to articles on #HolmdelHorn, #42, #cryptocurrency, math LLMs; book review of #TheDaughterOfDoctorMoreau #SilviaMorenoGarcia; book comments on #RaymondChandlerSpeaking #RaymondChandler #PhilipMarlowe http://leepers.us/mtvoid/VOID1027.htm from @eleeper and #MarkRLeeper
Just got an email about the programming schedule of the #ChengduWorldcon.
The online offering is 2.5 hours per day. I did know that I couldn't really watch, because Finland is 5 hours behind China, but still. (9.30-12 in the morning means 4.30-7 am for me.)
Is the #HugoAward ceremony going to be available somehow? I could not figure out whether it's going to be streamed or at least recorded for later watching.

This morning's email from #WorldCon2023 unsurprisingly had quite a few Chinese characters, which some email filters mark as spam. Maybe we should all whitelist chengduworldcon.com?

My previous toot regarding the Chengdu Worldcon was copied from their FB page. Their website has not been updated yet. I'm not on the concom nor do I speak for them. I just copied and pasted.

Does anybody know what's going on with the #Chengdu #WorldCon / #WorldCon2023? I'm seeing a lot of folks posting about their awards-eligible writing and it's making me realize we've heard nothing about the #HugoAwards yet - and that it's been over three months since the website for the 81st Worldcon promised that those of us who voted in site selection at DisCon 3 would get emails "soon" about our supporting memberships. No email yet for me - has anybody gotten one? Or is it still too early?
Vote Winnipeg!!! If you're on-site.
Mask up, as required.
