Hey guys,

Recently we had a problem with the same author having stories
nominated under different names. It's easy for this to happen, so I
thought I would remind you of what to do when you don't see your
nomination's author in the list of authors.

There's a link under the list of author that says "Author not in list?
Click here!" But before you do that, you should search the users to
make sure they aren't already listed under a different name. To do
this click the "users" link in the top of the page. Search for the
first half of their email (everything before '@'). If someone turns up
when you search this way, then you should use that name to nominate
the person. Otherwise you can add someone.

And to nominate them, you just need to click the "Nominate" link at
the top of the window and fill out the form again. Best of luck
nominating. *g*

I'm not sure I understand you correctly, but I _think_ that wouldn't
work in all cases. I, for example, have "Imhiriel" as pen name, but my
e-mail address begins with "Larys.HMF".

Imhiriel

Hi Imhiriel,

I think what I'm about to say is correct. I am not the programmer, and so I
may be misunderstanding or misremembering, but I hope in that case someone
will correct me. In any case it seems to work on the few things I just
typed.

If you go to the Users page and search for something, it will look for that
something in the usurer's name and also in the first half of their email
address. So searching for melayton would turn up me (my email address on the
site is melayton@gmail.com). Similarly searching for either Imhiriel or
Larys or Larys.HMF should turn you up. I suggested doing a search for the
first half of an email address because to add an author you need an email
address, and this is a quick way to find if the author has been already set
up under a different penname but with the same email address.
