Hey guys,

First, thanks to everyone who has posted with the error message.
Because we're all getting an error message instead of the site timing
out (and because no one has said they can get through), I don't think
it's a problem with too many people trying to access it.

I have not heard from Anthony or Ainae privately so unfortunately I
cannot tell you any more than you already know. I actually have the IM
program Ainae sometimes uses turned on, so I hope I'm able to catch her
that way. I'm sure the site will be fixed as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, Ainae is unlikely to be able to do anything until she
gets home from work - after 5 PM CST. She may have to work with Anthony
to fix the problem; I know he is in the same timezone, but I'm not sure
exactly what time he gets off, or how soon after work he is available.
And I know that Anthony was one of those people evacuated from the
Houston area. I've since received an email from him and so he either
has internet access wherever he is or is back home, but things may be
exceptionally busy in several areas of his life right now. We'll still
try to get things sorted out and fixed ASAP, of course.

Dreamflower, I read your suggestion about extending voting season.
Personally, I like this idea, especially as it gives us another weekend
to work with. I'll need to speak to Ainae and Anthony before I can
offer that, of course. So consider it "taken under advisement". :-)

If you do have some time today that you want to vote, I apologise. You
might look back at the final ballots, which can be found starting at

These posts are a list of all the stories that are competing in this
year's award. They'll be most useful if there is still a category you
want to review, or if you're working on authors votes. Unfortunately it
doesn't tell you what stories you've voted for, or provide links. I
hope this at least provides a place to start, though. Many of the
stories are archived at the following archives:

http://www.fanfiction.net/
http://www.storiesofarda.com/
http://www.scribeoz.com
http://www.librariesofmoria.com/
http://www.henneth-annun.net/
http://www.west-of-the-moon.net/
http://www.ofelvesandmen.com/
http://www.livejournal.com/users/talechallenge01/
http://www.livejournal.com/users/talechallenge02/
(etc. -- change number for stories entered in various challenges)

Again, I really appreciate everyone's patience and am very sorry for
the inconvenience. I'll let you all know when I know something.

Cheers,
Marta

*blush* I completely forgot one:

http://www.tolkienfanfiction.com/

There are quite a few drabbles here, as well as many of Altariel's,
Aliana's, and Isabeau's pieces. (There are others, of course, but
those are three authors I remember offhand as having been linked to
there.)

Thank you for all of the links Marta! The system that you gave for
looking up the Tale Challenge Archives will work for all but
Challenge #12 which I screwed up when I made the site. That one is:

I agree that an extra weekend to vote would be most appreciated!

Here's another hand up for an extra weekend, if possible. It's been a busy
September, what with hurricanes and all, and I'd like to get a few more
reviews in if I can.
