So, what has the greatest chance of being nominated? I'd say:

  • Among Others, because Jo Walton is great and I bet Hugo voters like the message that Sci-Fi fandom can save you
  • Fuzzy Nation, because John Scalzi is a big opinion mover and I get the impresion that it's not a tiny group who fondly remember H. Beam Piper
  • Welcome to Bordertown, because I think people like Bordertown and there is buzz around its long-awaited return
  • Children of the Sky, because the establishment luuurves Vernor Vinge
  • George R. R. Martin's latest Song of Ice and Fire book, because the last one or two have been nominated and there's the TV show drawing interest

If I were to suggest some things, Charlie Jane Anders's novelette "Six Months, Three Days" is quite good and got a good response at tor.com. --Madeline F 23:12, 13 January 2012 (PST)
