>The first contender this year is Do Not Look Back, My Lion by Alix E. Harrow. This story is what happens when a writer has an average-to-good idea for a story, writes it, but then realizes she’s not going to get any of that sweet literary attention with just a well-written piece—so she just switches the gender of all the characters of the story. Yeah, just like that. This is the first sentence:

>Eefa has been a good husband, she knows, but now she is running.

>And that’s how you get a Hugo nomination. Yes, the protagonist is a woman (referred as she) who is also a husband, and her wife is also a woman, but she is masculine and a warrior, but she is referred as she too, and a wife. All clear? Good.

Ahahahahaha
