Hello Peeps, I just emailed the Science Fiction Hall of Fame (http://www.empsfm.org/) to try to get Octavia E. Butler in there this year. It seems to me to be a large oversight and long overdue. This was their answer. I don't know if we want to exert any pressure here. They may just do the right thing on there own, but I thought that I'd let people know how the issue currently stands.

Each year, EMP/SFM museum members nominate up to four people for the Hall of Fame. Then the list of nominees is given to a panel of 7-10 science fiction professionals--authors, filmmakers, publishers, editors, fans, and artists--to choose the year's inductees. Ms. Butler is frequently nominated for the Hall of Fame, and I am sure that she will be chosen for induction soon, given the remarkable and influential body of work she created. I hope that clears up your question. Thanks again for writing.
