A Response to Charles Gannon
Charles Gannon made a guest post about the Sad Puppies and the whole Hugo debacle On Monster Hunter Nation, Larry Corriea’s blog. Apparently, the article was originally posted to Whatever Scalzi, John Scalzi’s blog. Someone challenged Mr. Gannon to post it to a Puppy blog and see what he got. I read through his post […]
Give it a rest
So I sighed with relief last week when I did the final post on the Hugo idiocy that has been going on since last spring. Looks like I was premature. The idiocy isn’t going away. If anything it is intensifying. I can’t figure it out. Maybe my problem with understanding it is that I have […]
Ask A Geek Anything Volume 19
Good Morning, and welcome to ask AAGA Volume 20 We regret that we only have one asterisk. (well, actually that’s not quite true, there’s several of us on staff, so we have several asses to risk, but hey it doesn’t scan as well) This is the corner of the internet where we’re willing to answer […]
an Imodest proposal.
William Lehman/Contributor I’ve been watching the recent unpleasantness between the states of Science fiction with no little interest, both because I sort of have a horse in the game (as a reader, and as an author) and because I sit firmly in the Story over Message camp, also known as the Sad Puppies. Admittedly I […]
Wrongfans against Weasels

In Defense of Irene Gallo
This is another Hugo Award/ Sad Puppy post. I wish it were not true but there is something that needs to be said. The title of this piece says I am defending Irene Gallo regarding the remarks she made on her Facebook page. I am, to a point. And by the end of this article […]
Open Letter to the Owners of Tor
First some housekeeping issues from my last post here.: Mike Glyer, I skimmed a few of the comments on File 770 last time and I want to give you Kudos for standing up for Cedar against the mouth breather that wanted to call her a dog. If you exercised such discretion about more of your […]
The Puppies need to thank these recruiters
The Sad Puppies really do need to thank some people who are not of their number. I’ve been watching this fiasco as someone who is in sympathy with the SP movement without being one myself. The truth for the rank and file SP members is basically that they were informed that they could vote on […]
You Lose!
Dear CHORFS, SJW’s and SMOF’s: You poor sods. You’ve already lost. When you rail at those who oppose you, then cut them off so they can’t respond to your accusations — Lose. When you feed the same talking points to your pet news media, and they all faithfully spew the same lies they didn’t bother […]
