Hey all,

Ainaechoiriel's instructions are mostly complete, but I have a few to
add, and can't put
them on her website (yet!).

1) You shouldn't see the 'Complete' box at the bottom of the new
story form. Only author
Liaisons can see this box, and they'll have to check it for you, even
if you're the author.
Ainae saw the box, because she's a Liaison.

2) If you're nominating a non-member's story, then you'll have to add
the user, following
the link on the nomination page. Please check the author list
carefully. I just noticed that
_chibimelody_ is sorting at the end of the author list, for example.
(You can change that, if
you want, _chibimelody_, by editing your 'name'. We can change it
back later.) I should
make a browse members page, to make it easier to check that list, but
there isn't one right
now.

3) If your name is not the one you've posted stories as, you should
change it, so people
can find it. If you've posted stories under two names, just create an
author with the second
name, and let Ainae know. The second name can be an author, but won't
be activated for
voting. (Only one person per email account, so you'll need two, or
put in a fake one and
send us an email.)

4) The site lists all nominated stories (Browse Stories), so check it
before nominating a new
one.

5) You don't have to wait to start entering reviews. Any reviews
entered for a story will
follow that story throughout the nomination process, and will go with
it when it assigned
to a category. Nobody (except the admins) can read your reviews,
until both A) you mark
them as 'Final' and B) Voting season starts.

6) If you find anything not working correctly, please send me an
email (anthony _AT_
alumni _DOT_ rice _DOT_ edu). I've tried to get it all working
correctly, and I believe that it
does, but it is impossible to test everything, and you will
undoubtedly try all possible
combinations before we're done.

I'll try to smooth out the rough edges over time.

BTW, 44 stories by 25 authors as of this posting!

Thanks, Anthony. I'll get those changes to the instructions up today. And
like the site, my instructions will get better over time as I do different
things on the site.
