On Monster Hunter Nation, Larry Correia talks about being a Campbell Award nominee:
I am the least favored to win by the literary critical types, (in fact, I’ve seen a few places where they have ranked me #6 out of the 5 finalists) but that’s cool, because I am the only author eligible that has had a gnome fight or trailer park elves. (or as one critic pointed out, I am a relentlessly single tone throw back, and another said that if I win it is an insult and a black mark on the entire field of writing.) SWEET! I’m so unabashadly pulpy and just happy to entertain, and thus offensive, that I make the inteligensia weep bitter blood tears of rage.That's the attitude I like.
Hell, that alone makes writing books worth it.
Though the gigantic royalty checks full of money from all of my many bestselling novels is pretty sweet too.
