And I’ve heard that the double episode of StarGate: SG1 “Heroes” is up as well.
Yeah, I didn’t display the complete list. Check out the links for others, like movies (Yay, Sky Captain!)
Two addenda:
1. I failed to note that all of the novel nominees are British (Thanks, BDO)
2. I expect that the short story nominees will all be available online in the very near future so as to give voters a chance to sample the wares. (Indeed, Charles Stross states as much about his own stories.)
