Hugo

[close] Steampunk...Everything :] have at it you punkers you, everything is game from the steam era... trains, clocks, gears, cogs, you name it! Especially those welding goggles.

[close] A group for discussion and recommendation of SF & fantasy short stories, novelettes, novellas, collections, and anthologies. Anyone can join! Anyone can volunteer to lead a story discussion for one week. Authors welcome, but let's go easy on the self-promotion.

[close] Congratulations, comrades. We have triumphed over the reactionary cabal of Theodore Beale's Rabid Puppies Brigade! But this is only one battle in a long war. Eternal vigilance is required. This group is dedicated to identifying speculative fiction works deserving of Hugo Award nominations. Our goal is not to build a slate but to raise awareness of these works prior to the opening of submissions so more people can go into the nominations better prepared.

[close] This is a group for anyone who wants to read the Chunksters (the BIG books like Anna Karenina, War & Peace, Les Miserables, Don Quixote, Infinite Jest, A Suitable Boy, In Search of Lost Time, Jerusalem, Middlemarch, Miss Macintosh My Darling, Ulysses (ok, you get the idea...). We are all about making these fun and easier to read in a group format! Plus there are mini-group Chunkster buddy reads for books that members want to get together and read. **Before you join, please be sure to go to our Group Guidelines thread and be sure you understand the rules in this fun group!**
