2009 Check Ballots - Version 1 Posted by aure\_enteluva July 23, 2009 - 16:17:52 Topic ID# 10135Hey guys,
Hey guys, below is the first "check ballot" - basically a list of which stories will be competing against each other in this year's awards. This information will be available on our website next month, but I want to let you comment on it first. Let your friends know about this too - if they think there's a problem about their story, we want to hear it.
Here's some quick do's and don'ts.
--- DO comment if the main category isn't one you selected at all.
--- DON'T comment if you're in your second- or third-choice category.
This isn't an error, though we try to cut down on how often this happens. There are lots of reason why this could happen. For instance, there weren't enough stories with your first-choice category and of the same type. (Remember, WIPs go with WIPs, drabbles with drabbles, etc.) Or your second- or third-choice category wouldn't have had enough stories otherwise. Or, if you had several stories competing, we sometimes moved stories to your second-choice category to avoid having more than two of your stories competing together.
But if you got put in a category choice you didn't select, this is probably an error, and we want to fix it. (The one exception is if *none* of your category choices would work; I would have contacted you to discuss this with you before.) Let us know.
On a related note:
--- DON'T comment if you have stories competing against each other.
Lots of authors have multiple stories competing against each other. We try not to have more than two stories by the same author competing together, so if you have *three* of your stories together, that we need to know. But it makes categorization way too difficult not to have *any* of your stories competing against one another. (Conversely, we won't move your story if it means three of your stories competing against each other, even if you request it; it's not fair to the authors either.)
--- DO comment if you're in a subcategory with the wrong type of story.
--- DON'T comment if your ficlet is competing against longer stories.
WIPs, poetry, drabbles, non-fiction, and stories all compete against their same type. We depend on the author to tell us about this when their story is nominated. If the author made a mistake, or if the categorizers made a mistake in splitting things up according to their type, we need to fix that.
This year, non-drabble ficlets were categorized with full-length stories. Authors could instead choose to compete in "Genres: Ficlets." This isn't an error, but is the author's choice.
--- DO comment if you were placed in a subcategory that doesn't match your selections.
--- DON'T comment if you see a "better" subcategory for your story.
If your story is a friendship piece set in Ithilien, and it's currently in a Gondor subcat but you'd prefer it to be in the one for friendship fics, don't ask for this change. We try to place stories in subcategories based on the author's selections -- but when there are more than one applicable subcategory, it's up to the caegorizer which one it goes into. We don't usually make these swaps because there are too many things affected by moving stories. We want to keep the categorization flexible for those stories that really *need* to be moved.
And if you didn't mention *any* characters, settings, etc., we have to assume you are leaving this decision with us. In this case we usually don't make swaps either.
Also, sometimes there will be a category "broader" than what you selected. Maybe there weren't enough stories set in the Shire for a subcat, but there were also stories in Bree or travelling toward Rivendell. So we put together an "Eriador" subcat to cover all that. This isn't an error, though the subcategory name may not be what you expect.
But if you did make choices and still find youself in a subcategory you think is inappropriate, let us know. It's possible the categorizers made an error in how they entered data into the website, and in this case we'll look into it to see if the swap is possible.
In many cases, the easiest way to get into a better category/subcategory is to use the form more effectively, to tell us more about your story, back during the nomination season. Which doesn't help you this year, but learning how categorizing works can help you if you expect to compete in the future. This is something every MEFA author has had to learn how to do (including yours truly!). You can't change this information now, but I can help you learn how to make better choices in the future, so next year you will be in a better subcategory. Please check out the following FAQs for some basic information on how we use the information you tell us:
www.mefawards.net/MEFA2009/index.php?page=FAQcategories#cat_2
www.mefawards.net/MEFA2009/index.php?page=FAQcategories#cat_6
If you have questions about this, please ask. I will explain as best I can, even if I don't agree to move your story.
Btw: last year for check-ballots I posted more detailed information about the stories over several emails. But all this information is available at our website, www.mefawards.net/MEFA2009/
This year I'm going for something simpler, which will keep your inbox from being drowned in MEFA emails. I'll be posting just the title and author's name in each subcategory. That means only one email with all the categories listed in it. You can use the number listed to look them up on the MEFA website, for more information about the stories in a certain subcategory. I can help you do this if you don't know how.
So, without further ado...

Hey guys, below is the first "check ballot" - basically a list of which stories will be competing against each other in this year's awards. This information will be available on our website next month, but I want to let you comment on it first. Let your friends know about this too - if they think there's a problem about their story, we want to hear it.
Here's some quick do's and don'ts.
--- DO comment if the main category isn't one you selected at all.
--- DON'T comment if you're in your second- or third-choice category.
This isn't an error, though we try to cut down on how often this happens. There are lots of reason why this could happen. For instance, there weren't enough stories with your first-choice category and of the same type. (Remember, WIPs go with WIPs, drabbles with drabbles, etc.) Or your second- or third-choice category wouldn't have had enough stories otherwise. Or, if you had several stories competing, we sometimes moved stories to your second-choice category to avoid having more than two of your stories competing together.
But if you got put in a category choice you didn't select, this is probably an error, and we want to fix it. (The one exception is if *none* of your category choices would work; I would have contacted you to discuss this with you before.) Let us know.
On a related note:
--- DON'T comment if you have stories competing against each other.
Lots of authors have multiple stories competing against each other. We try not to have more than two stories by the same author competing together, so if you have *three* of your stories together, that we need to know. But it makes categorization way too difficult not to have *any* of your stories competing against one another. (Conversely, we won't move your story if it means three of your stories competing against each other, even if you request it; it's not fair to the authors either.)
--- DO comment if you're in a subcategory with the wrong type of story.
--- DON'T comment if your ficlet is competing against longer stories.
WIPs, poetry, drabbles, non-fiction, and stories all compete against their same type. We depend on the author to tell us about this when their story is nominated. If the author made a mistake, or if the categorizers made a mistake in splitting things up according to their type, we need to fix that.
This year, non-drabble ficlets were categorized with full-length stories. Authors could instead choose to compete in "Genres: Ficlets." This isn't an error, but is the author's choice.
--- DO comment if you were placed in a subcategory that doesn't match your selections.
--- DON'T comment if you see a "better" subcategory for your story.
If your story is a friendship piece set in Ithilien, and it's currently in a Gondor subcat but you'd prefer it to be in the one for friendship fics, don't ask for this change. We try to place stories in subcategories based on the author's selections -- but when there are more than one applicable subcategory, it's up to the caegorizer which one it goes into. We don't usually make these swaps because there are too many things affected by moving stories. We want to keep the categorization flexible for those stories that really *need* to be moved.
And if you didn't mention *any* characters, settings, etc., we have to assume you are leaving this decision with us. In this case we usually don't make swaps either.
Also, sometimes there will be a category "broader" than what you selected. Maybe there weren't enough stories set in the Shire for a subcat, but there were also stories in Bree or travelling toward Rivendell. So we put together an "Eriador" subcat to cover all that. This isn't an error, though the subcategory name may not be what you expect.
But if you did make choices and still find youself in a subcategory you think is inappropriate, let us know. It's possible the categorizers made an error in how they entered data into the website, and in this case we'll look into it to see if the swap is possible.
In many cases, the easiest way to get into a better category/subcategory is to use the form more effectively, to tell us more about your story, back during the nomination season. Which doesn't help you this year, but learning how categorizing works can help you if you expect to compete in the future. This is something every MEFA author has had to learn how to do (including yours truly!). You can't change this information now, but I can help you learn how to make better choices in the future, so next year you will be in a better subcategory. Please check out the following FAQs for some basic information on how we use the information you tell us:
www.mefawards.net/MEFA2009/index.php?page=FAQcategories#cat_2
www.mefawards.net/MEFA2009/index.php?page=FAQcategories#cat_6
If you have questions about this, please ask. I will explain as best I can, even if I don't agree to move your story.
Btw: last year for check-ballots I posted more detailed information about the stories over several emails. But all this information is available at our website, www.mefawards.net/MEFA2009/
This year I'm going for something simpler, which will keep your inbox from being drowned in MEFA emails. I'll be posting just the title and author's name in each subcategory. That means only one email with all the categories listed in it. You can use the number listed to look them up on the MEFA website, for more information about the stories in a certain subcategory. I can help you do this if you don't know how.
So, without further ado...

Re: 2009 Check Ballots - Version 1 Posted by linaewen0 July 24, 2009 - 10:33:03 Topic ID# 10135I've had a look at where my stories have been placed, and it looks like they are put in fitting categories -- appropriate and according to my original choices, as much as was possible.
It should be interesting competing against myself in one category! That will be a new experience for me, lol!
Thanks for your hard work in putting this together!

This information will be available on our website next month, but I want to let you comment on it first. Let your friends know about this too - if they think there's a problem about their story, we want to hear it.

Re: 2009 Check Ballots - Version 1 Posted by Bonnie L. Sherrell July 24, 2009 - 17:14:12 Topic ID# 10135It appears I get to compete against myself at least twice, and I think three
times. Hmm!

I checked and you're right, two of your stories are competing together.
"Failure of Duty" and "The Guardsman Comes Home" are both in Drama:
Gondor, and "Last Comfort" and "The Gaffer's Farewell" are both in
Hobbits: Frodo or Sam. This may be a new experience for you, but it's
really not that uncommon. For instance, in both of those subcategories
there's another author that also has two stories: SurgicalSteel in the
first case, GamgeeFest in the second.
We (the categorizers) try to limit how many authors have multiple
stories competing against each other, but there are so many other things
to consider -- we consider it a good situation where authors only have
two stories in the same subcategory. So in situations like this, where
there are only two stories in the same subcategory, I'm not willing to
make a switch. Thanks for being flexible on this issue. :-)
For what it's worth, I have many of my stories competing against each
other! It actually is kind of interesting to see how they do.
