Very familiar on all counts. Especially the Hugo (I've loved Connie Willis and Neil Gaiman since my early teens, so, well aware) and Racefail. I was there too. :)

Racefail 09 was actually one of those things that I winnowed through mostly after the fact, mostly because I was Just Not Looking At That Corner of the Internet when it was happening. I was mostly reading anime-fandoms at the time, whose participants had about zero overlap with Racefail-commentary, and I wasn't subscribing to things like metafandom. I'd actually never heard of Elizabeth Bear before her name started popping up in connection to Racefail-related essays and commentary that actually did cross my path.

So, I really never know who was there and who wasn't, because I was totally not there at the time. :)

As such, I'm really glad that there are people willing to do link round-ups and fandom wikis, because tracking this stuff down link by link by back-tracking user names and postings would likely have been out of my ability.
