This might take me a while to figure out. I know some obvious ones I'm voting for and obvious ones I'm not, but there's lots of grey in my decision process right now.

I voted for 11, so at least one of mine is guaranteed to lose.

I made a spreadsheet to figure out what I want to vote for. Then I made a prediction of what would win and I figure I'll vote for about four categories that make it to next year.
The six through fifteen places are going to be very close. How many run-offs do you think we'll need to sort out those last few categories? Boo war. ![]() |

As it stands about a third of the way through voting, figuring around 35 to 40 voters if it follows historical participation in voting, we'd have a runoff of Biography versus Short Stories for the last entry. Science would be a somewhat surprising inclusion.
But it's early and the math geeks tend to vote early. |

Ooh, that was hard. I voted for 11 or 12, some of which clearly won't make it but I felt they deserved a vote. There are only a couple of categories that I have NO interest in, but most I'd be fine with, though they might not be a first choice.
