>Old Man's War, John Scalzi (Tor)
>Accelerando, Charles Stross (Ace; Orbit)
>Spin, Robert Charles Wilson (Tor)

This is an interesting list.  Neither the Harry Potter nor the Bujold made the list.  I've only read Accelerando and Learning the World.  I'm surprised the Scalzi book did so well, isn't it a first novel?

It's too late to slap a "Hugo-nominated story" sticker on the chapbooks since they were already mailed and the deadline for voting came after we mailed them, so we can't take any of the credit (but if he wins, getting 300 copies out wouldn't have hurt).
