External lists & resources:
The annual Locus Recommended Reading List uses the same size breakdowns for fiction works (novel, novella, novelette, & short story) as the Hugos.
In addition to the artists from the Graphic Story category, there's also a Tumblr of eligible art(ists).
The Hugos site lists a few more links in the right-hand column of their pages.
What other resources have you found? Want more lists -- for related works, maybe? What do you all think?

Charles Stross has asked not to be included in recommendations for Best Series: http://www.antipope.org/charlie/blog-static/2017/12/psa-please-dont-nominate-the...
He'd prefer to be recommended for Dublin.

The only published-in-2017 sf/fantasy novels I read this were The Stone Sky and Seven Surrenders, and I didn't find either rose to the level of what I wanted from a Hugo finalist, so I ended up not nominating anything in that category. (Though I'm sure one or both of them will be finalists.)
I ended up nominating:
BEST NOVELLA: "And Then There Were (N-One)" by Sarah Pinsker
BEST GRAPHIC STORY: Transformers: Lost Light by James Roberts et al.
BEST DRAMATIC PRESENTATION (LONG FORM): Thor: Ragnarok, The Expanse: Season Two
BEST DRAMATIC PRESENTATION (SHORT FORM): The Expanse: "Home", The Expanse: "The Monster and the Rocket", Doctor Who: "Extremis", Star Trek: Discovery: "Magic to Make the Sanest Man Go Mad"
BEST PROFESSIONAL EDITOR (LONG FORM): Marco Palmieri
BEST YOUNG ADULT BOOK: Landscape with Invisible Hand by M. T. Anderson
Not much of a list, but I actually rely on the Hugo finalists to guide my contemporary sf&f reading.

Geez, I still haven't seen Thor: Ragnarok -- though it's at the cheap theater, finally. I want to see Black Panther more urgently, though. (And I'm seasons behind on TV, alas.)
Ooh, haven't heard of the Anderson YA book; must check that out.

And the winners are ...

Has N.K. Jemisin pulled off a first-in-Hugo-history, to win Best Novel with every volume of her trilogy?

>9 Cecrow: She is the first person to win Best Novel three years in a row. Previously Orson Scott Card and Lois McMaster Bujold won two years in a row. (As did Jemisin, duh.)
Connie Willis has won for every installment of her time-traveling Oxford historians series: Doomsday Book, To Say Nothing of the Dog, and Blackout/All Clear (as a unit) each won Best Novel. But that's not a trilogy in the same way that The Broken Earth is; it's a common setting with a few shared characters.

>10 Stevil2001: Plus Willis's wins weren't in consecutive years. Although winning one award for two books is a record that even Jemisin will never match.
