Msg# 2966

note: added to post-mortem database Posted by viv December 01, 2004 - 16:07:09 Topic ID# 2966

I added three items to the post-mortem database. We don't have to
talk about those things until we're done talking with the current
topics, but if I'd waited to add them, I would for-sure have
forgotten.

Those items were things suggested to me when I was pimping the MEFAs
on my livejournal a month or so ago, so the ideas actually originated
from several people.

I have a text file somehwere where I noted down my suggested changes. The
ones I've posted so far came from my memory. I need to find that file.

That's fine, but only members count when making these decisions. The
democratic ones anyway. ;-) Non-members have no voting rights and no say in
how we run things. That said, anyone who joins does!

Just a PS or warning, not to Viv but to everyone: One reason I'm a little
reticient about changing things from the ASC way is the fear the suggestion
of comment-based awards found when I first brought them up in the LOTR
fandom. That was in the discussions at Hennth-Annun that eventually led to
the separate group that led to the foundation of the Mithrils. That fear
led people to shoot them down before they ever got started. I will NOT
change these awards so much that the basic philosophy changes. Feedback
will ALWAYS be the prioirty, competition only secondary. Comments will
ALWAYS be the method of voting. And we will ALWAYS strive to stay away from
elitism. This isn't a popularity contest. Though, certainly, it can be
manipulated by less sincere hearts, getting feedback takes merit. So
stories win based on merit, not just being popular.

And that reminded me (because my brain is weird that way) about a comment I
wanted to put up on the Author comments thing.
