Charlie Stross tweeted: 'For the 2016 Hugos: the ENTIRE DISCWORLD SERIES is eligible, as a completed work, under Best Novel. ... I think I'm going to nominate it.' (Twitter, 14 September) But wouldn't that plunge all fandom into war again? According to me, the 'entire series' is disqualified in ways that The Wheel of Time wasn't: The Science of Discworld was on the 2000 Hugo ballot and Going Postal (though withdrawn) had enough nominations to be a 2005 finalist, which is the disqualifier. I'm strongly against gaming the Hugo rules; but if the final Discworld novel The Shepherd's Crown truly deserves a Hugo on its own merits, there's no question about its solo eligibility.
