finishing up pending nominations Posted by Marta June 21, 2009 - 18:59:20 Topic ID# 10050
Hey guys,

As we get closer to the end of nominations, the liaisons and I are
working hard to make sure that every nominated author who wants to
compete, actually gets that chance. About 3/4 of all the nominated
stories are 100% ready to compete, and given that authors have over
two weeks to tie up loose ends, that's pretty good! But I think that
if even one person wants to compete but doesn't because they didn't
know about a deadline or didn't know they still had something to do,
that's one person too many.

To help with this, I'm going to post a list of *every* nomination that
is 100% ready to compete - "Nomination finalized" in MEFA parlance.
Because of the length of this list I have just posted it to the mefas
LJ community. Check it out at:

http://community.livejournal.com/mefas/117635.html#cutid1

Please check your name, and if there is a story you think should be
listed but isn't, get in touch with your liaison. Or with me -- if
you're concerned emails to your liaison aren't getting through you can
email me at mefasupport-at-mefawards-dot-net.

You might also want to check on the authors you nominated. If you
don't see them on this list you should encourage them to get in touch
with their liaisons, if they think that they're done. But remember:
nominations might be withdrawn if they were invalid (like if they had
a bad URL or if they'd competed in the past), and the author wouldn't
necessarily know they were nominated in this case. So if you want to
contact the authors you nominated, please make sure they weren't
withdrawn first. Log in to www.mefawards.net/MEFA2009/ and click the
"All" link beside "Withdrawn Stories and Nominations" to see a list of
withdrawn stories.

Thanks in advance for all your help!

Marta

Will you update the list after several days, so that we can see how things are going on?
Thanks, bye,

Hi Ellynn,

That's actually a good idea, and since the list itself is posted at LJ I
can edit it. How about I update the list when I finalize nominations?
(I've done that with the ones I just finalized today.)

There may still be a slight delay between the author finishing his or
her part, and me getting them finalized. But at least the list is as up
to date as I can make it.

I just hope that updating the list isn't too much work to do; I know that you are very busy anyway. I didn't mean you have to update every day, but just once, maybe 5-6 days from today; and that would still be on time, we would still have some time to alert those authors who haven't finished their forms.
Bye,
 
Ellynn
