I thought _Ancillary Justice_ showed real innovation and quality. Apparently most of the people voting on the Hugos thought so too--and the numbers suggest this includes about 2/3 of the new people brought in by the Sad Puppies and Wheel of Time campaigns (whether with or against in both cases.)
I'm a new Hugo voter. But I will be back. The Sad Puppies put works on the ballot, not because they loved the works, but because they wanted to make people outside their group unhappy, ("make our heads explode" was the phrase, and believe me, I've read their websites and comments, considered what they had to say there, and drawn my conclusions about their motivations based on that evidence.) So I will be back to express *my* opinion of what works deserve recognition.
L. Ron Hubbard got a Hugo nomination too, but it never went farther than that.
