where are we? Posted by Marta Layton December 14, 2005 - 6:35:26 Topic ID# 6480
Hey guys,

I'm afraid that I may have killed the discussion on categories by
posting about the new website. I don't want to do that, if there's
still stuff we're not in agreement on.

I posted a run-down on one way we could use labels like book-canon,
movie-verse, and AU for the purpose of these awards.

How do you guys feel about this? My main concern isn't that they're
factually right (because we don't need to settle the debate once and
for all of "just what *is* canon), but whether they'll serve our
purposes for this awards. Basically, can they describe the stories that
are likely to be nominated?

Also, I think we've pretty well nailed down the categories for the
Books/Time division. To recap, those are:

1. First Age and Earlier
2. Second Age
3. Early Third Age
4. Late Third Age
5. The Great Years
6. Fourth Age and Beyond
7. Multi-Age

Now we need some awards names for these categories. What should we call
the first, second, and third place awards?

Oh, and I'll set up a paypal account tonight. Now I need to finish
getting dressed and scurry off to work. I think that's about it,
though.

Your thoughts on any of these things greatly appreciated.

Marta

Marta,

Didn't we decide that the name of the division was changing from
Books/Time to simply Time, since the categories are now all time-
related?

As to the book/movieverse/canon questions, I have no strong opinion
on them so have just been staying out of those discussions...

Yep, we did decide that! Thanks for reminding me.

That's good to know. If no one has any strong opinions to the contrary,
I'm more than happy to go with what I have. I just don't want other
people to feel like they're being shut out, if they do have a strong
opinion.
