In 2014, it took 97 votes to nominate Mira Grant for best novel for the fourth year running (no disrespect to Grant, but c'mon: she wrote what some really thought was the best SFF novel of the year four years in a row?)

This was really annoying since I read all nominations and I really did not like these books. And yes this is a distortion that is unfortunate and irritating and a result of Seanan McGuire's blog following I would say (or readers bad taste but I wonder if that can explain it). But even if we got certain authors nominated just because of there following (Rob Sawyer and Resnick is other authors I suspect for that) we got variations and some really good books nominated also.
