Marta, I suppose that each category has to have the word 'genres' or 'races' or 'times' (depending on the sort of the category) in front of what you wrote here in the list? I'm asking because of the banners-inscriptions. ;) Before I start making winners' banners, I'd like to send you the list of categories (without stories), just to make sure that I don't make some mistake or omit something. ;) OK?
Thanks,
 
Ellyn

Hi there!

It all looks good to me.

Cuio mae.

Aeärwen
Here's the final check-ballot! If you have any other changes that need to be
made, you MUST let us know by 11:59 PM GMT tonight (August 6). That's in
just under eighteen hours from the time I'm writing this.

Actually, no. That's on my to-do list, to email you and the other banner
makers about that. During the PM we decided to do away with the 'genres',
etc. "lead-ins." It's easier for banners and easier for authors to brag
about what they won.

Before I

Yeah, that would be fine. Just make it after today, in case I need to work
on finishing up categorizing.
