Near the end of the Comments string attached to John Scalzi's Excellent SFWA Rant is the news that Elizabeth Moon is running for SFWA Veep.

Damn.

That's something to consider reupping for.

Yes. I have found that I haven't let go of my hopes for the organization as much as I'd thought.

I read Russell's platform. Davis/Moon is a mighty good slate.

She announced her candidacy on sff.net a while back.

Was it on one of the private SFWA groups? I can't read those anymore. If she announced on her regular ng, I missed it.

I think it was the Lounge. One of the private groups, anyway. She hasn't mentioned it here on her LJ, either, that I've seen.

Hey, she was a Marine. She learned to keep her head down.

Since the last election involved a write-in campaign declared after a third of the membership had already turned in its ballots, I really think it was indicative of nothing at all, and that the main thing it achieved was to get the dialog going.

This election is the make or break one, I think, and I hope those who left the organization over the last one will rejoin to vote in this one.

Depending on the results of this one, I'll decide whether to hang onto my membership or not. Because these results say more about the future direction of the organization.

Yup, and since this will be my first election when I can vote, I'm very happy about having the Davis/Moon slate.
