Chinese Censorship of the 2023 Hugo Award Nominations

Back before the 2023 Hugo Nominations were conducted, I noted that the Chengdu Worldcon Hugo committee had inserted a worrying clause indicating that local government officials could invalidate nominations for breaching the norms and standards of China. I suspected this would result in arbitrarily applied censorship to control the ballot. I am sad and unsurprised to discover I was correct.

The 2023 Hugo Nomination vote data has been published (https://www.thehugoawards.org/2024/01/2023-nominating-and-final-ballot-statistics-published/), and includes notation where nominations were excluded from the ballot. Those with normal reasons, such as being in the wrong category or not being published in 2022 are identified with their reasons for exclusion. This time there are a number of nominations that are merely marked at "Not eligible".

Here is the list of those nominations, that would otherwise have been placed on the final 2023 Hugo Award Ballot.

Babel - R.F. Kuang - Best Novel: Very likely excluded for referencing student revolution, and the use of language and translation as coercive tools of oppression. Color the World - Congyun "Mu Ming" Hu - Best Novellette : A story about perception of, aid of, and discrimination against disability. Congyun Hu has left China and now lives in New York. Fogong Temple Padoga - Hai Ya - Best Story : Either there is something in the original Chinese that was not translated, there's a taboo subject that elides my reading, or this otherwise innocent looking near future tale of cultural building restoration was written by the wrong person. The Art of Ghost of Tsushima: Dark Horse and Sucker Punch Games - Best Related Work : The video game Ghost of Tsushima was subject to directed social exclusion for it's depiction of the Mongol invasion of Japan. Sandman, Amazon Studios: Best Dramatic Presentation (Long and Short) - A diverse and divergent cast, includes subject matter and social issues that are currently taboo in China. Paul Weimer - Fan Writer: Publicly Critical of holding a Worldcon in China. Xiran Jay Zhao - Astounding Award: Qualifying work "Iron Widow" is reimagined story of Chinese Empress Wu during a fantasy/mechanical alien invasion.

This raises a lot of questions as to if this basically taints the process, and what can be done about it.

Night Shift: Old Fashioned Scary

The 2023 production of Night Shift is old fashioned scary and, up to a point, blackly comic. Although to be fair there are some outright funny moments in this fledgling film. Directed by the China Bros, this deserves a much better rating than offered on IMDb. Although Rotten Tomatoes gave this one a 76% critic ranking. Night Shift also has a pretty splendid twist hidden in the tale. The…

Top 10 July

I won't be writing much about these songs, just know they are bangers and you can find them on my Spotify and Tidal as always.

I'm not much of a Travis fan, but this album is definitely worth a listen.

La bichota coming through with yet another reggaetón banger.

Tainy, who in my mind is the Latin American Metro Boomin, came through with an incredible album featuring an array of Latin artists. Of course, my favourite song on the album is with Bad Bunny.

Caribbean tunes, just right for the summer. If you still have that wherever you are listening from.

Don't know the artist, never heard her before, but she delivers some great afrobeats and vibe on this song.

Spanish trap with Eladio.

Now time for scene change with some soft rock/indie.

I love, love, love this song. JPEGMAFIA and Danny Brown scaring the hoes and bringing the beats.

Drake came through with some fucking outta pocket lines in this song, but it's a great bop.

I'm not sure if Nas even sleeps with the amount of music he manages to put out. Either way, enjoy.

Hello, I love your writing. May i request more Paul and Hal content if possible. 🥺🫶🏼 I’m a sucker for them with pregnant readers 😅

Of course, thank you for requesting

Love of a messiah

Paul atreides x pregnant!fem!reader

Masterlist

You sat on top of a dune, looking into the distance. Pieces of Sietch Tabr still lying around from the attack. The sunset was gleaming on your skin.

“My love?” Paul called from behind.

You turned and watched as he sat on your right. You leaned against his side. The tears fell silently from your eyes.

Paul noticed this and wiped them away, kissing your head. “It’s alright” he whispered.

But it wasn’t. Hundreds were dead, your friends were dead. “It not” you cried.

Paul sighed, his arm wrapped around you. He looked down at your round bump that was visible in your long flowy red dress, he placed his hand on it, making you sigh and lean your head on his shoulder tiredly.

“'ana qaliqat ealaa tiflina, 'ana khayifat ealayh” you cried as he held you tightly in his arms. I worry for our baby, I’m scared for it.

You and Paul were special, the fremen saw you two as their saviours, more specifically Paul, but they looked at you as their queen, the one that their messiah loved so dearly. You and Paul picked up the Fremen language extremely quickly, as though it was your own, because of this you two often spoke in Chakobsa.

Paul looked down at you, cupping your cheek gently before saying “iidha tajaraa 'ayu shakhs ealaa lmsk 'aw lams tflki, sa'aqtuluh” and kissing your forehead tenderly. If anyone dared touch you or our child, I would kill them.

You said nothing else, continuing to look at the scene before you, as you cried again, reality now completely setting in “Come on love, it’s not good for you or the baby to be looking at something like this” he said

He helped you down the dune carefully, making sure to hold you cautiously as you walked down. You went back to your tent, crying some more before eventually drifting into a sleep once more.

A few hours later you woke, looking outside your tent for Paul, but he was nowhere to be seen “'ayn hu zawji?” You asked a nearby man. Where is my husband.

The man looked at you with worry “yajib ealayk 'an tastarihi ya siidti, famasihuna mawjud fi sitsh tabir limusaeadatana.” He said hoping you would go back asleep, as Paul had instructed him to watch you as you did. You should rest, my lady, our messiah is in sietch tabr helping us.

You sighed, close to crying from exhaustion and annoyance. “'urid 'an 'arah” you said your voice shaking slightly. I want to see him.

The man’s eyes widened, praying internally that you wouldn’t get upset, knowing he would be murdered if you did, and not metaphorically.

“hasanan hasanan” he told you, in a pleading town that told you he was trying to get you to stay calm, so you did. Ok, ok.

The man led you to the entrance of Sietch tabr, you looked around the temple you had recently began to call home, and no it was ruined.

You walked into a room, seeing Chani and and injured Stilgar inside, as well as Paul who was helping the injured Fremen. You watched as Paul argued with Stilgar about not wanting to go to the south, their bickering went on for a minute or so until you spoke.

“Paul?” Your voice asked making him look in your direction immediately, standing up, making a bee line to you. Once he reached you he cupped your cheeks with both hands “What are you doing here my love?” He asked shocked to see you here.

“You left me” you said.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t want to wake you, you haven’t been sleeping well lately, so I thought you needed rest” Paul said kissing your temple.

You only hummed, leaning into his hold your eyes closing momentarily. Paul lifted your head up by placing his hand under your chin. “man 'ataa bik 'iilaa huna” he asked sternly. Who brought you here?

“The man near our tent” you muttered back, playing with one of his hands nervously, not for you, but for the man. “I begged him, he asked me not to, do not scare him” you pleaded, making Paul looks down at you for a moment before saying “fine”

He led you out of sietch Tabr, not wanting you to see all the dead peope, knowing it would of course, make you upset.

The two of you were outside of the temple now, Paul was looking at the blown up building, anger evident in his eyes.

“We must go to the south” Chani said walking behind the two with more Fremen following her.

“No” Paul replied, making you turn your head and look at him. “You all must go, but not me” Paul said looking still, into the distance.

“But Paul-“ you began

“I said no!” He yelled, now looking at you, making you stare at him emotionlessly, before walking into the desert in anger, he never yelled at you.

“Love” he called but you ignored him.

Paul huffed, turning to Chani behind him saying “You know I cannot go” With a sad face.

After a few minutes Paul walked into the deser, placing his hand on a large rock “Talk to me Jamis” he pleaded.

Meanwhile you were walking around in the desert, kicking around sand with you feet, anger bubbling inside you, holding back tears. You refused to cry for him.

“Y/N” Paul called, now suddenly behind you, making you turn and stare at him angrily “what” you muttered.

“I’m sorry, I’m so sorry, I wasn’t trying to upset you” He said walking closer to you.

“Well what we’re you trying to do then?” You asked the tears you had been holding back now threatening to fall.

“I’ve seen flashes of my future, if I go south, people may suffer, I’m scared, not just for me, but for you, and our child” He said.

“Well im scared too! I’m scared because I don’t want to leave you! I cannot go south without you” you said, the tears now falling down your cheeks.

“I know, I know, I will go south” He said, now bringing you into his arms as you cried, the tears falling down your cheeks I’m a somewhat uncontrollable way.

“You will?” You asked shocked at his words.

“Yes, but there is something I must do while I’m there, and I need you by my side” he said leaning his forehead against your own.

“Anything” you whispered back.

“yajib 'an 'ashrab ma' alhayaa” he said kissing you passionately on the lips, and you kissed him back. I must drink the water of life.

This is kinda bad but still alright

I might do a part two so lmk if you want one 🙏

My love affair with London

Looking back over my stuff to try and get some inspiration, and OMG, does my lifelong love affair with London come through (legit the love of my life).

A series of impossibly tall buildings glinted in the weak sunlight, their glass facades reflecting a sky swathed in ever-changing hues of white and grey. The River Thames coiled through this morass of humanity like a sinuous brown snake...... The streets, viewed from above, were a labyrinthine web, arteries pulsing with the lifeblood of countless souls. Red double-decker buses and black cabs moved through the throng like carefully choreographed dancers in the intricate ballet of city life. Amidst it all, pockets of greenery provided a momentary splash of colour amongst the grey and brown of the buildings. - Pietas

London had always held a fascination for him; its heady mix of decay and opulence, squalor and splendour spoke to something deep inside him. And he spent several moments hypnotised by how the golden sunlight danced on the surface of the opaque, brown water of the Thames.- the son and heir

Within minutes, he was airborne, the heavy knit of his balaclava providing a buffer against the wind as he rocketed towards the clouds, the ice-grey snake of the Thames winding beneath him. Tilting his Harley to look down at the city, the bike’s engine strained from both the speed and the angle. London’s skyscrapers glittered in the weak November sun, and he savoured the adrenaline, enjoying how it quickened him. - Dog and deer

I smiled contentedly as London flashed past, the glass-panelled buildings of the city reflecting the orange glow of the street lights. - Sirius Black and the Goblet of Freud

Kingsley smiled at the memory, appreciating the salmon-pink colour of the dawn sky and the way the gold of the winter sun glinted across the red underground sign. Reaching the station’s threshold, he was met with a blast of heavy, warm air which enveloped him like an old blanket that smelled vaguely of toast.The rhythmic beat of the feet of the commuters shuffling forward towards the barriers blended with the sharp clang of the metal barriers, and Kingsley began to sweat in his heavy Harris Tweed. - Kingsley drabbles

Sirius felt his eyes burn as he fixed them on the horizon. A riot of pink and red -hued clouds clustered around the dome of St Pauls, as the sun set over the London skyline. The normal dull brown of the river, temporarily metamorphosed into a glittering undulating blanket, that flowed like silk.- When Harley met Sirius
