Hi, this is the first time I've used the Special Notice feature. I
suppose I should have used it for the Executive Decisions. Ah well,
if you haven't read them, then get thee to the Files Section of the
Yahoo Site and read up.
The point of this Notice is to let you know of a slight revision to
the Nomination Form, just in case you didn't read the comment to this
effect I made in a reply to a nomination.
Basically it just says you need to use WIP, Drabble or Poetry in the
Subcategory field if you are nominating a WIP, Drabble, or Poetry.
I now return you to your regularly scheduled lives.

Question: If the subcats don't get enough noms, will
those pieces compete as part of the larger categories?
If not, what happens to the stories?
It might be unfair for drabbles or WIPs to compete
with stories with beginnings, middles, and ends.
By the by, my story "Promises (LoTR category) could be
used to fill in a LoTR:Drabble subcat is you need it
to make the subcat viable. Or it could remain with the
larger category (it is a series of drabbles that
comprise a complete story, so it could go either way).

Absolutely. But that is why I asked for 1st, 2nd & 3rd choices of category.
So if say Rohan/Drabble doesn't become Viable, it might move to it's second
category or third, or we just may move it to Men/Drabble. Either way, I
think there's enough flexibility in categories that we can make a viable
sub-cat somewhere. Rohan and Numenor are Men, for example. And then there
are the more general genres or the Time/Books categories. Most of the Races
and Places cats can fit inside the Genres or Time/Books if need be.

That was a question I had because of that Double-drabble. Should multiple
drabbles in one story be Drabbles or stay in the larger category. I'm
leaning toward Drabbles.
You?
