Okay, all you hawks out there. You know who? The ones who can spot a typo a
room away. The ones who can see a duplicate from three houses down!
Now that I have all the categories in one spreadsheet, I know just exactly
how many stories there are. And yet, there is a slightly SMALLER number in
the Noms database, that should house all stories ever nominated...
So there's something in the spreadsheet that's either a) duplicated, or b)
not in the database. Especially when you consider that 3 stories were
declined and, so, removed from the spreadsheet.
Remember that there are 18 stories not approved. They should all have an *
before their title (on the new web pages and the check ballots).
These stories are, by category:
Crossover:
Ripple Effect
Drama:
Thoughts
Suffering Unending
Elves:
Dulinraug
More Than an Archer
A Midspring Morning's Dream
Uncommon Tales: Tales of the Jade King
Dancing Within Walls
The Elvish Way with All Good Beasts
Hobbits:
River Stones
The Apprentice
Horror:
A Time and Times and Half a Time
Humor:
Bagenders
LOTR:
Don't Panic
How Quickbeam Got His Name
On Gorgoroth Plain
Men:
Stargazers
Orcs:
Despised and Hated
Silm:
Leavings
(If you see one of these without an asterisk.tell me!)
So, here's the math:
580 stories in the spreadsheet (includes the 18 with *--or should)
-575 stories NOT DECLINED in the database
_____
5 stories out
Go figure.
There's something wrong somewhere..
