Hi,

Newbie here again. Just wondering. I got a couple reviews that made
some suggestions that I thought were worthwhile. Can I make changes now
that the tales have been nominated?

Many thanks,
Agape

Gee, I hope the answer is yes, because I am constantly finding typos and
pickies I want to change in my stories--post in haste and regret at my leisure
is my motto.

Hi Agape,

I make changes, especially if they're fairly small ones. There's no real
problem with that. If (when the story's nominated) you expect to make
significant changes, you might want to nominate it as a work-in-progress.

But that's obviously not what's going on here. Go ahead and make the
changes. :-)

Whoops! I just realized that I think I do have a problem. A drabble series
of mine has been nominated, that I still am adding to--thought of it as a
complete set when it was entered, but realize I have added a chapter or two since
then and might add more. Perhaps it should be changed to a WIP.

It's number 388 "It Gives a Lovely Light"

Hi Oshun,

Tough call. :-) Let me talk this over with the other volunteers and get
back to you in a day or two, okay?

Hiya, Oshun!

I've discussed this with some of the other volunteers, and I think it
will be best if it stays where it is. I don't like to move stories
around this late in the competition except for WIPs that are
completed, and I think it will just be simpler all around if we leave
it in its current main category. Obviously you can't anticipate
situations like this; I was only saying for people to label their
pieces at WIP if they *expected* to be adding to them, situations like
yours will pop up and there's not much we can do to say "no" to the
muses. :-)

What I can do, if you like, is add a line to your summary saying your
piece is an ongoing serial - that the individual ficlets are finished
but you are still adding parts. Would you like for me to do that?

That would be so kind! Thank you so much.

Hi Oshun,

It's done. Let me know if anything needs correcting.
