voting deadline Posted by Mechtild September 14, 2006 - 9:54:25 Topic ID# 7438
Hi!

I am sure that sometime this summer, the voting deadline was stated, but I
have forgotten which note that was in or even which month of emails to look
through. I have been thinking the MEFA's didn't end until November, saying
so in my LJ last month. But recently I saw it mentioned that it would be
September.

I checked under the "Voting" Info. place, clicked open the topic on how long
one can vote and it said until the last day of September, for the 2005
competition. It didn't mention 2006. Is it the same? And was there ever
any mention that the MEFA's ended in November? I can't think why I thought
that. (But I'm pretty drifty).

Thanks so much,

~ Mechtild

You can vote through November 20. Last year we got started earlier
than we did this year, so voting ended on the last day of September.
This year we started later, we had made the administrative season
where volunteers categorize stories longer (to allow us to get
confirmations from authors nominated near the end of nominating
season), and we made nomination season itself longer at the request of
some members and so pushed everything else back by two weeks,
including the end of the awards.

Thanks for catching the FAQ snafu. I had not changed it since I
originally wrote that last winter, before we'd finalized the calendar
for this year. I've updated it now.

If you (or anyone) sees errors that need fixing, please let me know.
There is so much to keep track of, sometimes I do not change
everything that needs to be changed.
