Sidewise Awards 2008: Short fiction winner, nominees & download links

Sidewise Awards for Alternate History 2008 nominees have been posted.
PS: Note the link above is not persistent. At the moment, it shows the nominees; will likely show something else when the awards home page updates!
Update 11 August 2009: Winner announced.

Fiction first published during 2008 is eligible.

Awards are given at Worldcon, same venue where Hugo Awards are given. "Sidewise" in award name comes from Murray Leinster's story "Sidewise in Time", said to be the first parallel universe cum alternate history story.
PS: This story may be available at Project Gutenberg but I don't have link handy. Not among Leinster's better stories in my book, but then I'm not really into alternate history of the US. It does have a curious explanation of parallel universes & how their physics can wreck havoc in our universe.

Short fiction nominees.

Note their official term for this category is "short-form". I provide download link where I'm aware of one. Links on author, editor, or publisher name yield more works from the source.
