WSFS FAQ

WSFS sounds like some multi-national company - what is it ? - No, WSFS is a society of science fiction fans that exists purely to run Worldcons and give out the Hugo Awards.

How do I join WSFS ? - By becoming a member of the current year's Worldcon. There is no other special requirement - everyone who joins a Worldcon gets to be a member for that year.

And do I have to attend the Worldcon ? - No, you just have to have a Full Supporting or Full Attending membership. Either gives you the right to vote in the Site Selection and Hugo Awards ballots. You can do this by mail. WSFS members can also attend the Business Meeting, the governing body of WSFS, which is held each year at the Worldcon.

What exactly are the Hugos ? - The Hugo Awards are annual awards for achievement in science fiction and fantasy: Best Novel, Best Dramatic Presentation, that sort of thing.

Who decides who gets an award ? - Us. The fans. More precisely, the members of WSFS. So in 2005, it will be the members of Interaction.
