Comments: Continuing her parade through the 2014 awards, Ann Leckie's Ancillary Justice found a place on list of nominees for the Best First Novel. The only real surprise is that Leckie's book doesn't appear on the short list of nominees for the Best Science Fiction Novel as well (although it did find a place on the long list). On the other hand, despite their loud claims about their alleged popularity, none of the members of the so-called "sad puppy" slate that caused some small controversy in the Hugo Award nominations were able to find a place on this ballot - even on the long list - which is interesting given that the Locus Awards are, in large part, little more than a popularity contest. This isn't dispositive evidence, but it is strong evidence that the works on the "sad puppy" ballot weren't being excluded from venues like the Hugo Awards because of some conspiracy against the authors, but rather because the works they wrote simply weren't particularly good.
