I have no shame...

The Locus poll & survey is closing in a few days. You don't have to be a subscriber to vote.
Here's how it works:
Here is the online version of the 38th annual Locus Awards ballot, covering works that appeared in 2007. You may vote for up to five works in each category. In each position, you may either make a selection from the drop-down list OR enter a write-in candidate in the blank box at the right. Do not vote for the same work more than once, except Best First Novels may also be listed in Best Novel categories. [If you violate this rule, we will disregard your ballot.] Feel free to leave some categories blank or partially blank.
The drop-down selections for books and short fiction are based on Locus's 2007 Recommended Reading List [this link will open a new window], which gives full titles and publication credits. Drop-down selections in magazine, editor, artist, and publisher categories are based on the last two year's results. However, you are welcome to vote for anything. Note that the Hugo and Nebula awards have somewhat different eligibility requirements; Locus Awards are open to publications or work that first appeared, anywhere in the world, during calendar year 2007. If you are voting for items not on our Recommended Reading List, please give both author and title as well as place of appearance (and please enter in the same format, [lastname, title] with no quotations marks or other punctuation, as the drop-down selections).
Needless to say, BURNING BRIDGES isn't in the drop-down options. But if you feel so inclined, you could certainly write it in. Or, yaknow, any other books you've enjoyed in 2007....
EtA: while I absolutely am promoting my own work, I am also encouraging you to write in other books as well. The Locus poll is self-limited by what THEY thought was the best/most enjoyable, and that often does not seem to line up with what the larger readership thinks... so tell them what you liked!
