"...this award comes from a different group of people. It comes from a bunch of nerds...and when I say that, I mean smart people. I mean people who understand what SF and Fantasy mean. Whenever I go to another awards show, it's always in *spite* of what I do. They're always talking about 'transcending' the genre. I don't believe in transcending the genre, I believe in the GENRE. I honestly do think there is no better place to talk about anything, myth, human interaction, social interaction, history, any of that, all of that, and all at once, than in Fantasy or Science Fiction."

Actually I like the fact that both make the assumption the audience cares, remembers and has intelligence. They write as well as the British TV writers used to, before American Style devastated the industry.

I think you might be on to something there.
