"Ponies" won? Once again, I do not understand awards.
technically it tied with the Harlan Ellison story (!), but I donno, I found that story pretty powerful myself, if disturbing.
But then, controversy and disagreement over Ms. Johnson's stories are nothing new They oft do hit nerves.
I mean, she won the Nebula last year for Scar. I'd say Ponies is a little more disturbing that Scar, but that's purely a matter of personal preference. (For the record, we're not running Ponies during the Month O'Hugos, but that is only because we couldn't secure the rights to the story.)
Congrats to everyone, though especially Rachel.
