Okay, I just spent a large part of my lunch hour opening every link on the
web site. I found some broken ones due to my copy & paste foibles, but also
some other things.

HASA Challenges is having a problem.

The following authors need to see if they can provide us another link (or
we can try to find one). The authors may not be a part of this list, so we
may have to contact them. Fortunately, It's not a lot:

Marta: Hope Rekinkled
Adi: Wind & Fire
Azalais: All Ye Fellowship of Nine

The following had bad links. I've corrected them in the databases and the
web site, but the categorizers will need to correct the links on their
spreadsheets.

Goes a Courting by Chris, Cat: LOTR
http://www.storiesofarda.com/chapterview.asp?sid=244&cid=908
Steadfast by Zimraphel, Cat: The Silm
http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=1455502

The following had bad links altogether for some reason or other:

The Farmer's Wife by Nessime, cat: Hobbits
http://www.mikekellner.com/Library/Story_Read_Head.php?STid=25
I couldn't get www.mikekellner.com to come up either.

Free Fall by Lindorien, cat: Drama
http://www.storiesofarda.com/chapterlistview.asp?SID=722
Shows only chapter 13, which is author's notes

The following should be subcategorized, or those should change. I've
updated the web site and the database with the ones I'm sure about:
So Close, Yet Forever Away by Naresha is really Drama (Poetry)
The Call by Alexcat is really Drama (Drabble)
Why? By RennWench is really Romance (Poetry)

The following *might* need to be subcategorized but I'm not sure:

Sundered by Oakenshield is in Drama. It's actually two drabbles. Should we
still put it in the Drabble subcategory?
http://www.ofelvesandmen.com/Stories/O/Oakenshield/Sundered.htm

Song-Fight at the Swan and Cygnet Saloon by Chathol-linn is Humor. Being
that it's songs, it looks like poetry to me. I don't want to make Filk
categories unless we have a lot of them. For now, I'd just like to keep
songs in with poetry.
http://www.henneth-annun.net/stories/chapter.cfm?STID=2299

Which makes me think that All ye Fellowship of Nine (see above) should
probably be Poetry as well. But of course, right now it's having HASA
problems.

And this one is a double-subcategory. What should we do here:
The Vain Songs by Nol is noted as a WIP, but if you look at it, it's also
Poetry.
http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=1486803

Any help is appreciated.

I've changed these on my spreadsheet. Thanks for correcting them.

Yep, Nol's story is poetry but it might not be a WIP anymore. I think
the last chapter was the final chapter, but I'm not 100%. We'll
probably have to email her to make sure. Do you want to contact her
or do you want me to? I don't mind either way.

If you would, I'd appreciate it. I've done so much in the last two days, my
eyes are starting to cross. ;-)

Just updated the web site: 363 officail nominations out of 400 total
nominations.

Thanks for bringingthis to my attention, Ainae. Tech Support has been
notified and is working to fix the problem, but it's probably best to
ask for alternative links.

Urk, I realized this probably isn't available elsewhere. It's posted at
HA and (I think) in the files there, but I can't remember whether HA has
its message archives public.

Would it be okay for me to post it at SOA or something? The date would
be after April 30, but it was clearly up at a public archives before
that, because the HASA Challenge was posted in March.

Dwim brought it to my attention. Well, actually Adi did but them Dwim
confirmed it's a problem for all the challenge stories.

Yes, in this case, I think that's fine. Obviously, you didn't know HASA was
going to have a glitch.

Same goes for the rest of them as well.

Ok, I'll send her an email right now.

I double that. Wind and Fire was written for the same challange and is
clearly dated. It's not currently posted anywhere except HASA with the
technical problems, and HA which may not be available. I could stick it up
in ff.net or on my livejournal, but the date would be too late, although the
story was publically available before that.

That would be fine. It was public in time. No one knew we'd have those
glitches.
