WorldCon is having some….problems….
The short version is:
There was some incompetence on the WorldCon organizers’ part.
Some People weren’t Happy about a) said incompetence, b) the world in general and WorldCon in particular.
These People complained.
Other people backed away and bowed down to make it clear that they were no threat.
These People complained louder, in hopes of getting more concessions.
?
Profit.
The official stance of the International Lord of Hate, the original Sad Puppy, Larry Correia, may firecrackers be set off in honor of his name, is:
Ha!
Told you so.
Couldn’t have happened to a nicer bunch. Y’all deserve each other.
In other words, although it’s too late to nominate for the Dragon Awards, registration is still open and votes on the nominees accepted.
The fire of the shining ships faded
men turned from steel to wood
and preferred grey goo
to iron-jawed, space-armored titans
and supple space princesses
(in suitably skin-tight pressure suits).
In the drought of imagination
Mirk falls upon mind and land.
The shadow hangs heavy
But some bright hearts blaze bravely.
Defiant into the storm
The Puppies howl
and the Dragons answer.
(I just couldn’t help myself. Vote early and often. Let the Dragons Roar.)
