if your MEFA participation has slacked off... Posted by Marta November 07, 2009 - 22:31:13 Topic ID# 10222Hey guys,
In previous years I have posted weekly "admin" posts. Not announcements
so much as educational "how-to" post. this year I haven't done that
nearly as regularly as I would like, mainly because of a busy RL.
I'm going to start those posts up again. And while I have occasionally
find the time to review, it is not nearly as much as I would like to. So
I'm going to try to find more time for that as well.
I mention this because I suspect some of you may be in a similar
position. Perhaps you had good intentions of reviewing over the last few
months, but have let yourself get out of the habit. It happens to all of
us. It happens to *me.* If there is something you wanted to do with the
MEFAs, like reviewing or telling your friends about them, I want to put
my own situation out there, to encourage you. It is most definitely
*not* too late to get involved. There's a month and a half left in the
awards. If you want to review, consider this my invitation to have a
clean start, MEFA-wise.
I also want to mention some people who have been quietly but steadily
investing their time with the MEFAs. Annmarwalk has been posting reviews
every day to LJ, and every week to the MEFAwards Yahoo group. Elea24
forwards responses from authors to the people who reviews them. Elliska
sets up memberships at the MEFA website. Aranel and Tanaqui are putting
in major effort to some exciting new technical projects related to the
website. I have no doubt that there are other people as well, who work
very hard to make these awards work as well as they do. The banner team,
the liaisons, other groups... there are lots of people who are working
hard to make the MEFA happen.
And perhaps most importantly there are many, many reviews that have
already been written and posted. Check them out at the MEFA website. My
special kudos to those reviewers who have already met their reviewing goal.
I'll post the new "Admin" post in a moment, and will continue to do that
every Saturday from here on out. But I also wanted to thank those who
have been so reliable in their MEFA participation and volunteering - and
to encourage those of you like me, who want to get involved again in a
bigger way.

Re: if your MEFA participation has slacked off... Posted by elvishwriter November 09, 2009 - 10:05:52 Topic ID# 10222Marta,
Your nudging the reviewers has spurred me to ask if there is a glitch somewhere along the way which is keeping me from seeing any reviews for my story "Not This Day". So far all I have is a big fat zero.

Re: if your MEFA participation has slacked off... Posted by linaewen0 November 10, 2009 - 9:42:51 Topic ID# 10222Hi, Elvish Writer!
You won't see a review for your story if it has been saved as draft by the reviewer, or if the reviewer has chosen for it to remain hidden until a later time. So you could have some reviews lurking there that just haven't been revealed yet.
This nudging is spurring me on to finish my draft reviews and make them public! ;-)
