More banners: Humor Posted by angelabrooks@yahoo.com June 27, 2004 - 1:06:53 Topic ID# 1842
I added 3 new banners to Humor, one for each award.

Also, one of the Legolas drabbles is mine, and the same summary really
does apply to all of them. It might be good to do something to let
readers know it's not a mistake though.

Great! Humor needed more banners! Thanks.

I'm at a loss. Can you think of a variation for your drabble? A few words
different, here or there?

Are there any other categories you feel like need more categories? That
might help us focus our efforts.

Could we just tack a sentence to the end of the three summaries?
Something like "This is one of three drabbles entered in the MEFAs that
was written on the same theme."? Or maybe mark the three drabbles with
an asterisk or something, and put a footnote explaining the situation?
The summaries could be the same if we made it clear that they really
were separate works.

I'll go with the added sentence idea. The * idea would actually have to be
** because I already have *.

I added the sentence to the spreadsheet, though actually it covers four
drabbles. I just didn't feel like having the whole quote in all four of
them.
