Lois McMaster Bujold:
I know SFWA ruled that Gentleman Jole and the Red Queen was eligible for last year's Nebula award because of the ARC sale in 2015. Has there been a ruling regarding Hugo eligibility for this coming year? The voting period will soon be upon us and I'd really like to know.

I am not the person to answer this. I suggest you write to/inquire of the Hugo administrators, who have contact info somewhere on the Worldcon website.

Later: I asked. The view of the Hugo administrators seems to be that the SFWA ruling is not theirs, and that fans may nominate the book as usual per its hardcover first publication date of February 2016, i.e., for this year's Helsinki Worldcon.
(By the way, anyone who has the chance to go, I recommend Helsinki and Finland heartily. I had a great time on a trip there a couple of years back.)

Lois McMaster Bujold:
Sorry about the mysterious terminology! The Moravians were/are a radical Protestant sect who considered both main sexes equally divine, and so believed that in order to be fully deified, Jesus had to be feminine as well as masculine, so the side wound gave him a sacred vulva, sort of. (Also saw sex as a form of prayer, but the ways this worked got kind of rigid/surveillancy) They still exist, but are less radical now?
