Remember, the Campbell is not a Hugo. I think it's emblazoned on the trophy or something in bright green letters, given the number of times they announced it as Jay tripped up the stairs.

Yeah, Stacy has a point.  They announce that phrase like a DOZEN times during the ceremony.  If you're asking about an actual Hugo for best novel, I'm guessing my chances are very slim.  The thing is, the book hasn't had a wide enough release to gather the kind of publicity I'd need for a Hugo.  Even if you all nominate me (which I certainly would appreciate) I doubt it will make a dent in the number of nominations you'd need to even get on the ballot.  

As for how I heard of it--I got emailed by Joshua, JJA, and Toby.  So, within the community, people know about this.

Nice job buddy, you deserve it.

Congrats, Mr. Sanderson.  Perhaps this will spur the success you've earned.
