I see you like science fiction...

(... and fantasy).

So here's a thread for what you're reading, watching, and listening to these days, and what you think of it.

It's tragic that I feel that I need to, but let me lay down a few rules and guidelines for what I'd like this thread to be.

I want it to be an open discussion of our own personal reactions to things. This means leaving room for other people to have other views, even ones that disagree with yours quite strongly. I want this to be a space where people from other communities of fandom could, if they wished to, recommend and discuss works that might not be to the usual taste of this community. To that end, I'll be moderating pretty closely, either propria persona or as Idumea.

I also want this to be a space where we can note and link to Hugo-eligible works (do link if you can!). Please mark them based on category ([NOVEL], [NOVELLA], etc) if you know where they would fit, and if they're eligible for next year's Hugos, add [2015]. Here are a Google Docs spreadsheet and a Wiki which can help determine these things. If you're too swamped to check, note that you haven't and maybe someone else can.

Please ROT-13 spoilers. If we get enough of a discussion going on a work that the thread looks like someone took a blender to the alphabet, I'll happily hive off spoiler threads.

Note that there will be no summing-up, no conclusion, no derived recommendation list from this conversation. Please don't try to create one in-thread, either, right?
