Hi Ainae,

If I've made a mistake (like, say, forgetting to change the drop-down
from "Drabble" to "Story"), and I've already submitted the nomination,
how do I go about fixing that. Lyllyn's "Offerings" should be a story,
not a drabble.

Thanks,

Dwim

Er, I've done the same thing. Jocelyn's "Elven Song" should be a novel
rather than a drabble.

I think I might know how we messed up, too. If you have to enter a
completely new author, after you go through that process and end up
back at the place where you enter all the info for the story you're
submitting, it resets whatever you had for story type and story
length. Which is not a big problem, it just means you have to remember
to go back and set it to novel or novella or whatever it was supposed
to be before you entered a new author.

Anyway, the nomination for Jocelyn's "Elven Song" is wrong as far as
length and type are concerned. How do I fix this?

Sheepishly,
Thundera Tiger

And there are two entries where somehow, I didn't set the author's
drop-down correctly and ended up with the first name on the list. So
most definitely, I need to change those two...

I can fix it as an Administrator.

Also, I forgot to add, don't just check this year's nominees. Check the
website or YahooGroup (Databases) to see if the story was nominated last
year. Those stories (except those that were WiPs but are now complete)
can't be nominated again.

Fixed this one, too, and I'll update the instructions today. Thanks.

I don't see the duplicate stories. Tell me which one needs deleted by title
and author and I'll do it.
