Thanks so much! That helps a lot. For the amount of time I spend on the
computer per week, one would think I would be a bit better at figuring out these
things! Reading several hundred stories is daunting--and I don't want to
limit myself to "favorite authors" either.

I use that find function a lot. Not so much for the MEFAs but for other
things - when dealing with scholarly articles and ebooks it can be very
useful for finding that specific quote you're looking for. So I'm glad I
thought to mention it here!

By the way, most word processors have a similar function if you think it
would ever help you there.

What I have been doing since nomination season started is go through the
nominated list almost daily and mark those who catch my attention for my
wish-list (that can be anything: intriguing story title, category,
summary, sometimes I just click on a link and see where it takes me...).

I now only have to keep a eye on the story id's high in the 600. :c)
Just a suggestion. When I have a bit more time, I set the filter on Wish
and review a couple of stories.
