Hugo Award for Best Novella

 * Nominator(s):  Pres N  13:35, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

Second verse, same as the first. Right on the heels of the novel award, this is its smaller brother the novella. This list is structurally identical to the novel list, and prose-wise very similar. Any comments made in these FLC's are ported across all award pages that I've done, so have at it! -- Pres N  13:35, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Sort error "The Dreaming Jewels" sorts between "Last Enemy" and "The Man Who Sold the Moon"
 * You sort "...And Now You Don't" as an "A" in the Retro Hugo list but "...Where Angels Fear to Tread" as a "." in the main list.
 * All the titles such as "A Man of the People" should be sorted as "Man of the People".
 * As with above the "The" part should be dropped for sorting.
 * Shouldnt the novella is part of a publication by titled for example The Diamond Pit as "The Diamond Pit" instead of italics (similar to songs) and in which case would need to use the thing as ive used on the Aurealis Award for best fantasy short story?.
 * Other then that i cannot see any other issues. Salavat (talk) 15:37, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Sorry for not getting to these sorting issues yet! I was out of the country, so I didn't have time to fix the sorting on the lists other than the novels one. I'll post here when I finish. -- Pres N  01:30, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Alright, sorting is all taken care of. What is not taken care of is the italics/quotations thing- I'm not sure what the proper thing to use here is. I went with italics because we are discussing these works by themselves, rather than as part of larger collections (and indeed, some of them were published on their own like novels). I know that for songs it's always quotes- is there an MOS somewhere that says what do do for shorter stories? -- Pres N  03:58, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Turns out we have an MOS for everything- MOS:T doesn't have anything explcitly for "novellas", only for books and short stories, but given that it calls for quotations for "short films", which like novellas can be presented on their own rather than as part of a larger work, I think this list should use quotes. I'll change it shortly. -- Pres N  04:19, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
 * All italics changed to quotes; the sorting still works. -- Pres N  04:42, 31 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Support. As my issues have been adressed i think i should lend my support. Salavat (talk) 08:51, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
