Blanket permission Posted by shippingindustry May 09, 2004 - 1:22:43 Topic ID# 566
Ummm. Not sure how to do this, but it came up in a private exchange
and so... I can't imagine why I wouldn't grant someone permission to
nominate one of my stories. If anyone is hesitating, herein lies
permission.

Is there something else I have to do?

If I want to nominate someone's story, and I ask their permission,
and they say yes, then what do I do? (If they say no, I think I can
figure that one out for myself)

I have read the FAQ, really I have, but (trying to think of some
really lame excuse, cannot think of any save I'm tired and it's late)
well, anyhow, I have read them.

Anyhow, there it is. If I'm not making sense, blame chocolate
deprivation. (Will they give me chocolate for mother's day, i ask
you? there's been none in the house for ever so long, perhaps more
than a week, even.) Didn't even know I'd got permission to be part of
this group until this evening. I was "pending" the last time I looked.

Sorry to ramble. Go back to your discussion now. I will begin lurking
forthwith.

Just email the authors permission to Ainae, and she will add them to
the Author's Approval database. :-)

(hope you get your chocolate)

For reasons I don't know, some people just don't want to participate in
awards. At ASC, it's assumed you do unless you say otherwise. Here, since we
don't have that built-in pool of stories, and thus authors, we have to ask
permission. But you can give blanket permission as I believe you just did.

Nope!

Forward it to me, like Anna said. Mefaawards at earthlink.net

I'm still sorry about the lack of chocolate.
