I started wondering about 2022 Hugo/Nebula timelines and realized, oh damn, we're getting a late start. We have a membership in this year's Chicon, meaning that we can submit group Hugo nominations. This is a topic Z has handled in the past, but he certainly has more important concerns at the moment. The idea is to submit your lists and we'll boil them down by vote (if possible at this late date) to an actual Hugo submission.

Nebula submissions were due by February 28. Hugo submissions are due March 15.

This is from Z last year, although we will need to keep it to the basics at this late date.

First Stage
Everyone is eligible to post their personal list (up to 5 nominations) for each category they wish to vote. In order to simplify possible change in rules to more usual one member one nomination per category set the most wanted outcome first, for example:

You like to have 3 novels, you want to nominate and if you have to choose only one you go for Novel#1, so you write:

Best novel
Novel#1
Novel#2
Novel#3

Please nominate only works you have read!

Second Stage
You read other’s list and think that it will be nice to join your lists – it is easy if you have empty categories or at least vacant places (like #4 & #5 in the example above). If you agreed on a new joint list, any of you post it and add that you are a team, listing all team members. This way we can end up with a single group list. If not, we enter

Third Stage
Which is voting, one member one vote for either lists, or if there are too many or other problems, then for works (I guess only novel/novella/novelette/short story), which are #1 in personal nomination lists.

Here is the schedule:
Now - Mar 10 - nomination lists are formed
Mar 11-14th voting for lists if needed
Mar 15th submission

Actually, I think Oleksandr already started a discussion like this: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

LOL, well that's what I get for trying to be conscientious....

Couldn't find it because previous years had their own folders. I'll see if I can figure out how to shift Z's topic over to this folder.
