I think I filled out all the fields required for nominating a story.
But it still says that the nomination is incomplete.

What did I miss?

P.S.: Thank you for explaining that rule to me, Dwim! That makes
sense. I was only afraid that I might have to take the story down,
that it might have no public URL, but maybe be available only for MEFA
readers during that time. As I am still working on a sequel that would
have been difficult for me.

Nothing Juno! Now the story is send off to the liaison assigned to the
author, who will check the nomination on valid url, whether it is
illegible or not, categories, rating and such. After that, if it isn't
a self nomination, the liaison contacts the author for approval (a
valid e-mail adress is important here). Sometimes the author wants to
see things changed and the liaison & author work together. When the
author is happy, the liaison completes the nomination.

If you change the url to an existing archive: make sure that it is
accessible for the public (not behind login screens and such) :)

If I missed something, Marta or Ainae will correct me.

Thank you!

I needed about four weeks to gather the courage to even nominate one
of my stories, so I was quite disheartened at my confusion about those
points.

:-)

Now I am very reassured.

Yours
Juno

Good to hear that!

Hey, that's why last year the first four nominations were my stories
nominated by me. If the admin can self-nominate, anyone can!

(I nominated my own this year, too.)
