Beyond Selidor

This is the third of my Hugo Awards discussion posts, which I'm publishing in the lead up to this year's Worldcon.

I know there are a fair few of my friends here on Dreamwidth who are also voting, and I thought it might be nice to do a series of posts where people could discuss the nominated works/individuals. 'Discuss' could be that you actually talk about how you're planning to vote in the applicable categories and explain your reasoning, or it could be just pulling out elements you like or dislike about any of the nominated works. People who have read/watched the work(s) in question but are not Hugos voters are of course also welcome to join in -- many of them are freely available online so you wouldn't necessarily have to buy your own copy if you wanted to participate.

I've designed the post so that there is a dedicated thread for comments on each award category, so can you try to keep your comments in the relevant thread if possible?

Today's post is about the nominees in the editorial categories: Best Editor (Long Form), Best Editor (Short Form), Best Semiprozine, and Best Fanzine. These are as follows:
