Hugo noms you wish you could make?

As a member of the last Worldcon, I have the right to nominate for the Hugo awards. I've started scanning the usual lists and publications for pieces I missed during the year, but so far Not the much stuff has struck me as something I must nominate.

How about you? What was your favorite art, fan art, fanwriting, editing, novel, graphic story, artist, dramatic presentation, short story, novella, related book, semiprozine, novelette or fanzine of 2011?

Tell me and I shall seriously consider nominating it.

Thanks!

Were there particular storylines in Schlock Mercenary or Gunnerkrigg Court that you liked that ended in 2011?

To me, I think it's important to nominate something specific and not just an ongoing webcomic. For instance, I'll be nominating Sluggy Freelance: 4U City Red (http://hugo-recommend.livejournal.com/110822.html) this year. I like SM and Gunnerkrigg, but nothing jumped out at me from last year specifically. --Which was why I didn't nominate Girl Genius the year before, but would have this year except that they asked us not to. :) And I might nominate Questionable Content next year for their current storyline up on a space station.

Digger is a good suggestion. I'll check out the others, thanks!

For Schlock the story arc is Force Multiplication and I included the link to the start of it at http://www.schlockmercenary.com/2010-11-29
I actually liked Massively Parallel (last year's contender) even better, but think this one is pretty good.

For Gunnerkrigg court, I meant to suggest Chapters 23 to, um maybe 32(?) but 1) I can't find my notes just now, and the website doesn't list dates of posting and 2) when it actually was time to nominate I'd swapped Gunnerkrigg Court for Drive, which has also quite impressed me this last year.
