-[[http://deirdre.net/about/|Deirdre Saoirse Moen]] is a software engineer, photographer, and writer who is active in the progressive genre fiction community. She first came to meme’s attention in mid-2014 for helping to spread the word about famous author Marion Zimmer Bradley’s sexual abuse of her children. However, her subsequent support of infamous troll [[w/page/46349159/Winterfox|Winterfox]], specifically her attacks on a report which detailed the horrific abuse Winterfox had been meting out for over a decade, lowered her reputation in the eyes of many.+[[http://deirdre.net/about/|Deirdre Saoirse Moen]] is a software engineer, photographer, and writer who is active in the progressive genre fiction community.

 Shortly before flip-flopping from supporting Winterfox’s victims to supporting Winterfox, DSM posted [[http://deirdre.net/hugo-award-for-fan-writer-recommends/|a long complaint]] that the Bay Area Science Fiction Association, of which she was a member, hadn’t included her on a [[http://hugo-recommend.livejournal.com/155729.html|list of recommendations]] for the 2015 Hugo ballot in the Fan Writer category. She said that her story was hugely important and strongly implied that she deserved a nomination. Meme noticed this and [[http://fail-fandomanon.dreamwidth.org/126810.html?thread=656133210#cmt656133210|wondered]] if she were trying to suck up to Winterfox and her clique, which included prominent members of the SF/F community such as editor Nick Mamatas, in order to secure a Hugo nomination. This theory was supported when meme [[http://fail-fandomanon.dreamwidth.org/126810.html?thread=656278362#cmt656278362|discovered]] [[https://twitter.com/deirdresm/status/573406175493955584|a Twitter thread]] in which Mamatas indeed called for DSM to be nominated. Winterfox stan Adrienne Leigh disagreed on the basis of DSM’s support of the Mixon Report, whereupon DSM jumped in to insist that she had changed her mind. It was also supported when meme [[http://fail-fandomanon.dreamwidth.org/127308.html?thread=658651468#cmt658651468|noticed]] her pushing to get more clicks and attention on her blog as Hugo nomination season neared its end, including an attempt to inject herself into a controversy surrounding the collapse of the publisher Elllora's Cave. Shortly before flip-flopping from supporting Winterfox’s victims to supporting Winterfox, DSM posted [[http://deirdre.net/hugo-award-for-fan-writer-recommends/|a long complaint]] that the Bay Area Science Fiction Association, of which she was a member, hadn’t included her on a [[http://hugo-recommend.livejournal.com/155729.html|list of recommendations]] for the 2015 Hugo ballot in the Fan Writer category.

-Whether or not this would have worked in a normal Hugo year may never be known. But 2015 was anything but a normal Hugo year. In April, a large group of conservative fans known as the “Sad Puppies” and “Rabid Puppies” agreed to vote on a single unified nomination slate in order to force as many of their nominees onto the ballot as possible. The other voters spread their nominations over a much wider pool than the conservative block, and the Puppies virtually swept the ballot in an event that meme called the [[w/page/95875079/Hugopocalypse|Hugopocalypse]]. Of the five slots on the ballot for Fan Writer nominees, four went to the logroll nominations, Laura Mixon took the fifth and final slot, and DSM did not make the ballot.+Whether or not this would have worked in a normal Hugo year may never be known.

Specifically, they tore apart Rick’s support of Day’s [[http://fail-fandomanon.dreamwidth.org/136513.html?thread=716330561#cmt71633|arguments]] that acid attacks on women are “rational” in a utilitarian sense, as well as his [[http://fail-fandomanon.dreamwidth.org/138862.html?thread=729582190#cmt72958|comment]] that Day wasn’t really being anti-semitic when he argued that Jews have no right to live anywhere except for Israel.
