The Hobbits and Orcs categories are now open for votes. I regret that I will
not be the first to vote in either categorie...though I know I've read some
of those stories. I just haven't written my comments yet and hope to read
some more.
And this doesn't mean that the Elves and Men categories are closed. They are
still open for five more days or so. From here on out--until the last five
days of the last pair of categories--there will be 4 categories open at a
time. Check out the Calendar (monthly view works best to see it) on the
Yahoo Group site to see the schedule.
I've got two or three more Elves stories I want to try and read, though I'll
be lucky to get another 2 in. There are also a couple more Men stories I
want to read, thanks mostly to some of the votes I've read here from
others....
So, keep posting your Elves and Men votes and now begin posting your Hobbits
and Orcs votes. Voting has been light so far, so I hope you aren't all
sleeping out there. We've had some great comments thus far and a great
majority of the available stories (only Men and Elves up until now) have at
least one vote. You still have time to post your votes...
And I'm also considering an Amnesty Day on October 31st. One last chance to
post any votes for any categorie. But if I do that, will all of you just
wait until then to post your votes? I don't want to encourage
procrastination so much as give everyone one last shot to read a few more
stories and get some more comments in.
Thanks to all who have voted so far, and to the vote counters who are
keeping track of all the votes. And special thanks to Larian, who is
apparently at least as obsessive and compulsive as I am, who is copying all
the Men comments as I am copying all the Elves comments so that we can make
web pages with all the comments for authors to be able to view their
comments all in one place.
Anyone want to help with that, by the way? Larian and I are liable to end up
with carpal tunnel syndrome....
