It's quite difficult to nominate properly. I don't read that many brand-new works. I'm not often willing to pay hardback prices, for a start. This year was the first year I'd actually read more than 5 books from the previous year, and I hadn't read any short fiction I thought was good enough.

As long as that is the case and the barrier to entry is low, it will be possible for a small organised group to put something on the ballot.
