here is where to find the free ballot:
you do not have to subscribe to locus magazine to vote!
Why am I posting this in the Donaldson forum? Because Stephen R. Donaldson released a major novel in the year 2007!
Fatal Revenant does not appear on the ballot, but they do allow write-ins. So hopefully if anyone out there enjoyed the book as much as I did, others might also want to write FR in.
And even if you did not like FR - go vote anyway for the 2007 releases you did like! So many major awards (like the Hugos) are the result of a handful of people voting, and you have to pay a lot of money to be eligible to vote. The Locus Awards are open to anyone for voting, do not charge any money to vote, and are, in my mind, more representative of the fans' tastes in the genre.
