At least two broken links in these, Dwim. I only checked Elves and Men
categories. Can you fix them?

I've heard from:

Altariel--yes--"Through A Glass"
Isabeau--yes--CMC
Regina--yes--"Lament for the Unsung Dead"
Shunt--yes--"Whistling Past the Graveyard"
Nol--yes--"War Dust" and "A Last Reckoning"
Alawa--yes--"Keepers of the Hearth"

Awesome. E-mails have been forwarded.

Dwim

Yep! Actually, we have a high rate of approval so far. Only two declines.
And only about 40 stories that have been nominated hav enot yet received
approval. And that's on 446+ stories nominated!

And I will be doing another round of author contact campaigning. I do
remember there was one author whose e-mail bounced. Boz4pm author of Don't
Panic. Anyoen know this author?

I do. She's had to go offline for a while due to some personal
problems so I don't know if you'll be able to contact her to get
permission.

Sindohte, Mora - do you guys know another email address to contact
Boz at? Or does BB know of one? Maybe if she's still checking in at
the White Council we can get a hold of her there.

Well if we can't reach her by the end of the month, her story can still be
eligible next year. RL happens and sometimes it happens hard. This I
understand!

Are you doing this now because I'm not up to date on
mine, but if you're doing them it would be confusing
for me to be sending out emails at the same time. If
not, I'll try to get these done over the weekend -
sorry for getting so far behind on this.

Don't be too sorry! So far 92% of the stories nominated (on the database)
have been approved. I think that's pretty awesome.

But anyway, yes, I can start today.

BTW, I am pulling from the nominations database, so I can't be compaigning
for authors that aren't there yet.
