Because the site is down again and has been since last night, I have decided
that agreatserver.com is not really a great server.

I then remembered that I have some free space with Earthlink that I'm hardly
using. So this is our new site: http://home.earthlink.net/~ainae/mefa

I've put up a We've Moved message at the old site, should it ever come up
again. Now comes the hard part:

We need to notify everyone we link to to change their links. I'll start
with the sites on the web site Links page. If you have added a link to our
stie (not our YahooGroup as that hasn't moved) to any other YahooGroup,
could you please go and change it?

If you have promoted our site to another site that I don't have on the links
page, tell me, so I can put their link up, but also contact them to change
the url.

Thanks for your help.

I'm so sorry you've run into so much trouble! I'll change the link on
the banner on my site this afternoon.

Hang in there,

Not wanting to get paranoid or anything - but I nominated Cuthalion's "Winter Fire" on May 27 - I just went to the new site and couldn't find it there. Shouldn't it be up by now, or don't stories go up that fast? It's a wonderful fic, and I don't want it to get lost!

Could somebody who knows where stories hide before they go up on the Nominations list please check into this for me?

Thanks!

It's not lost. You just need a little primer on the way these things are
going on. When the catagorizer sees a nomination for their category, they
put it into their spreadsheet and the Nominations table (in the Databases
section of the Yahoo site). That's where Winter Fire is right now. Posted
there on 5/29/04.

At the same time, when an Author Contactor sees an author that falls into
their alotted letters (mine are W-Z, for example), they contact the author.
They put the information in the Author Contact table in the Database.

Cuthalion is not yet in the Author Contact table.

Then, periodically (usually once a day), I go through the Nominations
database and cross reference it with the Author Contact table to see which
stories are 1) nominated and 2) approved by the author. (The dates help this
a great deal!) Once they are approved at both stages (a story might not be
approved for nomination if some part of the form was missing), I put them on
the web site. The ones on the web site are 100% official and in. If you
look at the bottom of the website list of Nominations it says it was updated
yesterday and has 393 of 434. Which means there are 434 in the Nominations
table in the Databases section, but only 393 are 100% official yet.

I hope that clears it up.

Check the Nominations table in the database. If you don't see a story that
you nominated there, give a shout. It may be that the categorizer hasn't
gotten to it yet. We're getting close to the end of Nomination Season so we
need to get these caught up if they're not.

No problem.

Hello!

Seemingly there's a problem with the nomination of my story
"Winter Fire". I already gave my permission to nominate it on this
board... does that help?

Greetings

Cúthalion

Ah, okay. Didn't remember (that is a problem since the MegaStress) and/or
didn't realize that was you. It wasn't in the Author database, but I'll put
it in there now.
