Marta,

I've been out of town and I was just able to work on some of my authors today. Some of mine are already taken care of. Perelleth, Dana, Mariole, and Anoriath are totally finished. I have also sent the first contacts to Boz, Branwyn, Primsong, Tuxedo elf, and RubyNye. I still do not know what to do with Claudia. Rhapsody contacted her on her livejournal and she was going to contact me and she still hasn't. I'll try and do something about that one again tomorrow. Just wanted to let you know what was going on with mine! :)

I will try again today, Radbooks, it might be that her e-mails to you
get caught in a spamfilter... will ask her that.

For me, Dot, Llinos, Dawn Fegalund can be removed from the list. Dot's
nomination got completed hours before the e-mail was send out, I am
discussing Llinos nom with her, so I know 100% sure she will complete it
and Dawn's nom might be withdrawn because of the rating of the story (as
is stated in the notes).

Besides that Dreamflower had pc issues so she couldn't work on her
nominations, I'll drop her a note. BEETHOVEN'S 7TH: "A Darkened Heart",
the last thing I heard she didn't receive any e-mails from her liaison,
so she is awaiting for that. Eagerly :)

Rhapsody

Hi. Saw my name near the bottom of the list for some things, and I haven't
heard anything from anyone about those entries, which is why I haven't
confirmed anything. They're all good, as far as I know, and I've
doublechecked the links.

Excellent on all those counts. I thought this list would probably
include some people who were already being taken care of, but I didn't
want to miss anyone who might not have heard they were nominated.

I'm afraid I don't know how to contact Claudia at all. If someone
reading this knows her, please tell her to email Radbooks.

This one might be spam issues. I know Cathleen emailed all of her
authors last night, and Cathleen is Beethoven's author.

Why don't you pass on Cathleen's email address? Also, you can tell her
that if she hasn't heard back from Cathleen in a few days it looks loike
the email issues are two-sided and she can email me at
mefasupport(at)gmail(dot)com and I'll either help Cathleen and B7 get in
touch, or help B7 myself.

Okay, this is getting weirder every minute. Marta, she told me that she
send an e-mail to mefa support a couple of hours ago (7 to 10 maybe). I
send you an e-mail about it. Since it is gmail... maybe she got caught
in the spam filter of it, so I don't know if you log in on the internet/
web interface or not... I occasionally do that because sometimes e-mails
are caught there.

She's doing her best to get in touch with Radbooks, she sends e-mails
but they never arrive in Radbooks inbox. Now I have a solution that also
serves Claudia's interest... maybe you can assign her to me (besides
Storyfish & Nerdanel I am staring at very very green stuff) and I'll
take it from there (since she also asked for a password and everything
and I don't have access to it on that level).

I just heard that B7 has received the e-mail, but didn't had the time to
look at the form. I pass on the info anyway :)

Rhapsody

Claudia603 on Livejournal? I can reach her. What is the email address?

Hi Rabidsamfan,

I've looked over those nominations, and we have all the information we
need. Those stories are ready to compete.

And I'm sorry I didn't contact you earlier. It was actually elliska who
came up with this list, and I hadn't contacted authors in the time
between when you were nominated and she made her list.

Marta

That's okay. I figured that's why there's an extra week for settling
nominations built into the process. Glad these are set to go!

Hi Elanor,

Thanks for the offer. But it's unnecessary! SlightlyTookish already
emailed her and she emailed me privately.

Thanks for offering, though.

Just clearing this up:

when I sent the above email I hadn't seen Claudia's email. It was a few
screens down my inbox, one of about ninety emails, and for some reason I
didn't see it when I scanned to see what was there this evening.

But I have heard from Claudia. I've emailed her her password and
instructions for how to approve her nomination. I copied Radbooks on
that email as well. I told her to email me and Radbooks when she's done
and when she does I'll take care of approving the stories if Radbooks
doesn't receive the email for some reason.

Marta

Help!
I just found out a story *wasn't* in the running,
and I'm trying to fix that!
She mentioned being nominated for something,
I thought it was this one.
(It was Precious, or something)

I can't get it to accept. I filled-in all blocks w/*
(even the notes...which doesn't have *)
It keeps saying it's not completed.
I selected author (rynogeny) whom I just added.
I put everything in.
Wah! I thought there was still time!

Hi Barb,

Some people have had problems with the form when they add a story. The
easiest solution is to just start with the new form. After you've
added the author click the "overview" at the top of the page, then
click "Nominate a Story".

If it still doesn't work please let us know.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thanks, that worked <whew!>

um, do I supply the summary, etc?
Or do the MEFA staff do that, so they are consistant?
(cut/paste from the story link, etc)
(I mean ratings, etc differ from some archives)
I didn't see where that info was on the form.
Hers is rated "T" for Teen at ff.n

The FAQ said it helps to submit an email from the
author showing she approves of the nom. How do I do
that, since it was after the form was submitted, that
I read the FAQ about *that* one? (drat!) I also need

Here is how it works: you supply correct title, url and make sure it is
coming from a public archive/site, that the rating does not go gigher
than R ánd that it didn't compete before.

The liaison sees that a story is nominated and contacts the author. The
author fills in the details like story summary ect ect.

All you have to do is leave a review for the story.

The liaision takes care of that. When all is filled out by the author,
the liaison checks on the details once more and most often asks the
author the approval. Once that is given, the nomination will be
completed by the liaison.

Nominators provide the author's name, the story's title, and the link
where the story can be found. If the author is not already in our
system you will also need to supply an email where they can be
reached.

The rest of the information like summary, rating, etc. is supplied by
the author.

That's actually an out-of-date FAQ that needs to be fixed. Where did you see it?

Last year nominators could get permission from the author and forward
emails containing that permission to the volunteer in charge of that
author. This year, the author actually has to complete a form at our
website and then email permission directly to their liaison. Or
failing that, the "official" MEFA email address:
mefasupport(at)gmail(dot)com.

What you *can* do is email the author to let her know she's been
nominated and should expect an email soon. Sometimes these emails get
snagged by spam filters. Your author only has until a week from today
(midnight between June 22 and June 23, GMT) to finish her form and let
her liaison know she approves the nomination, so we don't want to
waste time if we can help it.

Oh, and in case it helps, Elliska will be this author's liaison.

Don't worry about tht. Questions is one of the reasons why we have this list.

Thanks, Marta (and Rhapsody!)!

It was under (...hang on...)
http://www.mefawards.net/faq/viewtopic.php?t=16

"Nomination" FAQ---> "I know the author..."

I emailed rynogeny, and apologized for causing her
last-minute homework, after a hectic trip! I hope
Elliska will be gentle! ;o)

Thanks!
