Links to my reviews:

• Best Novella
• Best Novelette
• Best Short Story
• Best Graphic Story
• Best Dramatic Presentation (Long Form)

Other categories:

Best Dramatic Presentation (Short Form). Four Doctor Who episodes, seriously? I’ve seen most of them but in general Doctor Who just isn’t that good and none of the ones listed stand out in my memory. I haven’t seen the Game Of Thrones episode and I’m not likely to within the voting period. I’ve seen a season and a half of Orphan Black, though, and enjoyed it, so my only vote is for that.

Best Professional Artist; Best Fan Artist. Not voting. I had a look but none of it really excited me.

Best Semiprozine; Best Fanzine; Best Fancast; Best Fan Writer; John W Campbell Award. Not voting unless by some miracle I find some more spare time.

Best Related Work; Best Editor (Short And Long Forms). Reading hundreds of pages of fiction just to make an amateur assessment of the skill of the editor who picked it doesn’t seem like a great use of time.
