Thank you for the info. Was there a minimn number of stories per
category? When did you decide it was a good idea to split
categories? If we had a rule about that it would need less
discussion...

CC

From what I remember, I wasn't in on the categorizing at the beginning, but I
know that each category and sub-category needed to have 5 stories by at least 2
different authors. Once the nominations closed, the nominations staff grouped
them into logical subcategories, sometimes they had to move stories that could
fit into two categories into a different place so we'd have more viable
categories.

So yes, there was a minimum number of stories.

Just to verify (as I was in on categorizing at the beginning),
Larian's right. From the FAQ:

IV. Categorization
B. Any suggested category must have at least 5 stories (or poems) by
at least 2 authors to be a viable category
.....1. Author categories must have at least 3 authors to be viable.

(http://home.earthlink.net/~ainae/mefa/Awards%20FAQ.html)

Marta

Yes, it's in the FAQ. The present limit is 5 stories by 2 authors for
viability. For Authors, it was 3 authors. To subcategorize, we just tried
to group them based on what we knew (mainly through subcategory suggestions,
pairings, etc.). Again the 5x2 rule existed. There needed to be five poems
by at least 2 authors to make a Poetry subcategory.
