Broken link: http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml? For Last of the
Edhel by CinnamonGrrl

Also, there are two entries for Shadow975's Too Late for Misgivings. One is
category Men and the other is Lord of the Rings.

That one is fixed. It was another long url that got cut off in the
copy and paste.

As for this one, I don't know. The nomination I had for it is below,
at the bottom of the post. I don't know where the other nomination
is. This is obviously another author who needs to be contacted and
asked which category she wants the story in.

This raises a question about the author approval on this story. In
the author approval table it shows Shadow975 as having approved only
two stories, Too Late for Misgivings not being one of them. But on
the duplicate entry for Men in the story nominations list it says
that it has been approved by the staff. So has it been approved and
this story just not added yet to the author approval table?

And on the author approval of those who've nominated their own works -
do we automatically enter these into the approval table when
entering the nominations, or is someone else doing this, or is each
self-nominating author responsible for entering the info themselves?
I apologize if this has been addressed before and I missed it, but I
wanted to make sure what was expected.

I sometimes see her on IM. I'll e-mail her and ask.

The Staff Approved field on the Nominations table might once have meant that
the author approved and so the staff certifies that this nomination is
official. But I have forgotten. I later said in a post that it's just for
saying the nomination part is complete, regardless of author approval. In
other words, it has a category, a public URL, an author with an e-mail addy,
summary, rating, yadda yadda yadda.

What I normally do is just check them in the Author table. If they aren't
there, I put them in. So if you see them, check for them (you can use the
Search box up in the upper right) and add them if they aren't in there.

Not a problem!

Shadow975 says put it in the Men category.

Going through the Nominations table in order to update the web site (yeah, I
decided to do it. What can I say? I'm obsessed!) and I noticed that several
CinnamonGrrl's stories have the same URL:
http://cinnamongrrl.popullus.net/half-full/ . I'm going to mark these as NO
for Staff Approval until individual URLs directly to the stories can be
entered in.

I'll be doing the same for Not Fire, Not Ice because the URL given requires
a login. It must be a publicly accessible URL.

Last of the Edhel is already marked No. Does anyone know why off the tops of
their heads?
It is an odd URL, a live-journal, but I checked and it does lead to the
story.

This is the problem with frame web sites; you have to
go in and find the URL of the story frame, not the web
site overall. For such nominations, I've been hunting
in the frameset for the correct URL. Should I stop
doing that and just say that the nom is not approved?

Thanks for discovering that Not Fire Not Ice URL was
login-only. Some yahoogroups have Files open to the
public; this one, I guess, doesn't.

I'm not sure why Last of the Edhel was not approved,
but it is a WIP, so I noted that in the database.

I'd not approve it and let the nominator know he/she needs to find the
correct URL. I had to do that for one of the stories I've nominated.

Yep. If it's not located anywhere else (before the end of April), it will
have to wait until next year to be eligible.

That reminded me to check the web site for WIPs. Found a few I hadn't
marked as such. All WIPs should be right now.

I've created a page by which all nominated fics are accessible
without a password.

http://cinnamongrrl.popullus.net/awards.html

Please let me know if this does not suffice.

According to the rules, they had to have been at a public site by april
30th. I've had to turn down some Orc stories for this year because of this,
so it would be wrong to make an exception. I believe the first two stories
are at a public site, but we just need direct individual URLs.

I'm not sure what you're saying here-- is the page I indicated not
sufficient?

In any case, I've done all I am able to do in order to comply with
your rules.

Thank you for your time.

Not if it was created after April 30th. But have no fear. I have found all
the stories so far nominated (as indicated by the Nominations table) on
fanfiction.net. That is a public site and all show being posted before or
on April 30th, so they are all eligible:

Last of the Edhel: http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=1629623

Unrequieted: Gilraen: http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=1776449

Not Fire, Not Ice: http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=1583198

The Fall of Night: http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=1397271

BTSATS: The Gift of Death:
http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=1406688

BTSATS: Without: http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=1573852

That said, I believe we have your permission for only three of them. Do you
also give your approval to the nomination of Unrequieted: Gilraen; Not Fire,
Not Ice; and The Fall of Night?
