    Alas, no. Or rather, I have video tape but haven't been able to find someone in Portland to transfer it to digital for me.

    Whatnot is eligible for a Hugo in dramatic work short form.

    So... I'm at a writer's retreat and the folks here have just pointed out that I should mention that your investment, WHATNOT, is eligible for a Hugo in Dramatic Work Short Form.

    I was going to mention it earlier, but there are still some of you waiting on your reward and I felt awkward about that. I still do, but... puppets!

    Now. Now is fine with me. I backed this because I wanted it to exist and I wanted to read it. I think waiting a little is fine, because it allows us to act as the people with the ARC and help promote it but I don't get any actual benefit from having it exclusively.
