Proclamation
Whereas, the SF genre has been inundated with repugnant garbage since the very ancient times in the history of the genre; and
Whereas, the Supreme Arbitor wields a staff of literary justice with grace and compassion heretofore unseen in the blogosphere; and
Whereas, the Hugo Endurance Project is insignificant enough that no one will care if there favorite book gets panned; and
Whereas, however, the Hugo Endurance Project maintains the authoritative record of the worthiness of the Hugo winners; and
Whereas, my logic is undeniable;
Let it be known on this 17th day of July in the year 2012, that the Hugo Endurance Project will initiate a record, known hereinafter as "THE IMPEACHABLE", which will highlight the most foul, reprobate and maladroit titles in the history of the Hugo Awards.

How's that for an announcement. Okay, I may have gone a little overboard... and a little silly, but I do intend to "hereinafter" maintain a counterpart to the Paragons for books such as... Well, you'll just have to wait and find out, won't you? I should have it up in a couple days. Look for it.
Ja, shame, there is a place in the world for the bottom feeders also. Looking forward to it. In terms of the Paragons, I'm still very surprised about "Dreamsnake."
ReplyDeleteAnd your "Proclamation" is just ... well ... a work of art, worthy of similar accolades as bestowed upon that other declaration, of which the rough draft is housed at The Library of Congress.
Hahaha. I stand behind Dreamsnake. I really enjoyed it and it alternated between creepy and touching and was just a good story to hear. I'd guess that the paragons will change quite a lot by the end. Maybe I'll keep Dreamsnake up there just for you ;)
