April 2, 2008 - Hugo nominated works now available for free download to members!

For the duration of the 2008 Hugo campaign, Ian McDonald, Robert J. Sawyer, John Scalzi, Charles Stross and their respective publishers are making special electronic editions of their Hugo-nominated works available at request to 2008 Hugo voters. You must be a supporting or attending member of Denvention 3, The 66th World Science Fiction Convention, http://www.denver2008.com/, to be eligible to vote for the Hugos and to receive these free Hugo nominated books.

The authors have put together a package of their books for the voters’ convenience. How can you, the Hugo voter, get these special editions? Send an e-mail to hugo2008@scalzi.com requesting the editions. IMPORTANT: Your e-mail MUST include the following information: The name under which you are registered for Denvention 3, your full membership number, and your home state/province/country (if not US or Canada). This is so we may confirm you are, indeed, a Denvention 3 member and are thus eligible to vote for the 2008 Hugo Awards. DO NOT PROVIDE YOUR PIN NUMBER. We don’t need that, and as per your bank card, that’s not a number you need to share with anyone else.

Information sent to the “hugo2008@scalzi.com” address will be stored by John Scalzi for the duration of the nomination process. After the final day for voting is over, it will deleted. None of this information will be seen or used by anyone other than John Scalzi, nor used for any purpose other than verifying Denvention 3 membership and providing 2008 Hugo voters with the eligible texts.

The team here at Loscon 35 would like to give a special thanks to John Scalzi for his part in making these copies available.
