And I bring this up to put into context just what a big deal it is that @SeananMcGuire just got her 13th nomination in the four classic fiction categories.

She's done it in a shockingly quick time (nine years). One of the youngest people to have hit that tally.

4/
Seanan McGuire's work has continually improved since her first Hugo nod.

Some authors are content to rest on their laurels after getting love from Hugo voters. She has responded by upping her game. IMHO, Middlegame is a more mature, more artful novel than some earlier ones.

5/
My prediction?

Give it a decade or so, and she'll rival Mike Resnick's tally for #HugoAward nominations.

And will deserve it.

Addendum: These tallies omit her multiple nominations for best series. Because that award is newer, it makes these sorts of statistics less comparable over time.
