Book club short story vote

As you may have seen, the Hugo nominations for 2011 have been released (list on http://sfbk.blogspot.com/2011/04/2011-hugo-award-nominees-announced.html).

As the four nominated short stories are all available online, I thought that it might be a good idea if we had our own vote (using AV in the best Tory (and Hugo) tradition). If you are interested, would you like to read the following and place them in order of preference, “1” for first place, “2” for second and so on. If you dislike a story then don't give it a vote. I will use the Hugo methods on http://hugos.renovationsf.org/vote/ for the sums.

Get me your votes by May 14th and I will announce the winners on the 16th. It will be interesting to see how they compare to the “real” vote announced in August.
