A Hugo nomination question for next year!
Aug. 5th, 2015 07:09 pmWhy yes, I'm thinking about next year STOP ME BEFORE I KILL AGAIN^W^W^W^W^W^W because that is a reasonable thing to do, really.
I'm wondering what the right category is for nominating Steve Rogers, PR Disaster. My immediate thought is "short story" since, well, it's a short story, ~4000 words. But it's a parody, involving other people's characters, and it's clearly also meta-commentary on things that would count for Best Graphic Story and Best Dramatic (Long). Does that make it a Related Work?
I can't imagine the "clearly parody and thus fair use/dealing" nature of the work would bar it on some weird copyright ground, any more than Rowan Atkinson's or Peter Davison's Doctor Who parodies were barred (they weren't). But what's the BEST category for that work, which I fully intend to nominate because seriously that is some of the best skiffy of 2015?

kevin_standlee, but no hurry, I'm sure you're busy and this question can easily wait MONTHS before needing an answer)
EDIT: Oh hey I asked the author and they're cool with being nominated.
