Lodestar Award for Best Young Adult Book

 * Nominator(s):  Pres N  23:56, 22 November 2022 (UTC)

Way back in 2010/2011, I pushed an entire set of a 15 lists through FLC around the Hugo Awards, oft-considered the premier award in scifi/fantasy literature. Since then, there's been a trickle of new categories/lists: one in 2012 (FL'd in 2015), one in 2017 (FL'd in 2021), and now this one from 2018: the "not a Hugo but looks like one if you squint" Lodestar Award for Best Young Adult Book. This category is for scifi/fantasy young adult fiction novels, and follows all of the same nominating/voting rules as a regular Hugo category; it gets relegated to being a separate award as a compromise as it's for a "genre" of work instead of a "type", like novels vs. short stories. In any case, it's long enough now to have some size to it, and follows the pattern set down by the other 17 Hugo lists, and to a lesser extent the other sff awards lists I've also done over the years. Thanks for reviewing! -- Pres N  23:56, 22 November 2022 (UTC)

Comments

 * "The books on the ballot are the six most-nominated by members that year, with no limit on the number of stories that can be nominated" - pedantically, "stories" should probably be "books", as the nominations are for books, which could contain multiple stories
 * I can't remember how you formatted your Hugo lists, but is there the possibility of adding images? We appear to have images available of several of the winners to date.....
 * Think that's all I got! -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 10:18, 23 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Changed to books; I don't usually have images on these unless I have a free-use logo or photo of the award (none available here, sadly) or an image of a recipient actually getting the award/at the ceremony, so that the image is more than just decoration, and in this case I'm coming up empty. -- Pres N  15:34, 23 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Fair enough. In that case happy to support -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 15:57, 23 November 2022 (UTC)


 * Support – The only issue I see is that "5 years" should be "five years" per MOS:NUM and for consistency, and I'm sure you'll fix that, so happy to support right away. RunningTiger123 (talk) 20:21, 13 December 2022 (UTC)

Support from PanagiotisZois
I made a minor change to the list. The only problem I have is that the references keep getting repeated in the "Ref." column. The should be fixed so that the single reference is stretched across the whole column for a given year. --PanagiotisZois (talk) 00:44, 29 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Done. -- Pres N  01:01, 29 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Not sure I'm all that hot about every source being a primary one, but maybe that's just cause I'm used to doing a mixup of primary and independent sources. Irregardless, the Hugo Awards are old AF, and I don't mind either way. So, it's a support from me. --PanagiotisZois (talk) 01:16, 29 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Image and source reviews – There are no photos used in the article, so that part is easy. All of the references are reliable and well-formatted, and the link-checker tool didn't detect any issues. Giants2008  ( Talk ) 23:19, 31 January 2023 (UTC)
