On the one hand, this is a Good Thing, because it's pretty much impossible to locate anything that was published only in a print magazine if the magazine's no longer on the shelves.  On the other hand, it's a little annoying that only five of the stories are available so far, and only two of them are free, and two of the for-pay ones cost nearly $3 apiece.  I'm all for authors making money from their work, but for the past couple of years, <em>all<\/em> of the short-fiction nominees have been made available for free online by the authors and publishers.  I suspect that requiring readers to pay $3 to download a novella (that originally appeared in a magazine costing maybe $5) will hurt the story's chances, since many people just won't read it and therefore won't vote for it.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Hugo ballot is now online.
