UPDATE: Go here to vote, polls are open until April 30th.
As has become our practice we like to announce the nominees for the Best Short Story on the Web category one week ahead of the other categories. We hope that will allow voters enough time to read all of the stories before voting.
In one week the full list of 2011 Spinetingler Award nominees will be announced. The Spinetingler Award nominees have been selected by an editorial panel and the winners will be determined by public vote through an online voting system.
After the jump you will find the ten nominees with appropriate links. I hope you will take the time to read each of them before casting your vote next week.
