Going offline for a few days to try and get stuff finished. But before I go...

Congratulations to everyone!

Of course, he'll also win one for Blink next year

I am feeling insufferably delighted, and know that I must use my powers of prophecy only for good. For lo, did I not write in http://www.neilgaiman.com/journal/2006/05/small-dr-who-thoughts.html in May 2006, having just watched it, "right now my money's on "Girl in the Fireplace" for a Hugo Award in 2007. Really lovely."?

And did I not reiterate that prediction here and here?

I did, actually, in case you were wondering and can't be bothered to check.

I'm happy to point to http://www.thehugoawards.org/ where all has come about as I predicted.

Congrats to Steven Moffat and all the Hugo Winners, and especial congratulations to Tim Pratt, who told me he was certain he wouldn't win because I would, and, probably because of this, I'm actually more pleased by him winning than I would have been if it had been me again.
