Msg# 8329

Announcement: New FAQs, Stories Moved, Site Update Posted by aure\_enteluva October 21, 2007 - 0:13:02 Topic ID# 8329
Hey guys,

Three (mini-)announcements for the price of one!

*** New FAQs ***

We've added a new FAQ to the site:

www.mefawards.net/MEFA2007/index.php?page=FAQvoting&lang=english#vot_16
Can I include spoilers for the story in my review?

We've also updated the FAQ about quotes in reviews, giving an example
of how to block off a quote.

www.mefawards.net/MEFA2007/index.php?page=FAQvoting&lang=english#vot_10

Both of these changes were suggested by your fellow members, btw. If
you see an FAQ that is wrong, could be clearer, or if you see a topic
you'd like to have an FAQ on, email mefasupport@gmail.com.



*** Site Update ***

Earlier this afternoon the site was updated to fix a problem.
Basically beginning October 1, members weren't allowed to edit reviews
- but the site let them type in the review before they were given an
error message saying it couldn't be saved. The fix seems to cause a
problem for some people *entering* final reviews. Until this problem
is fixed, please don't submit new final reviews; you can give them the
hidden status. I'll post here to let you know when the problem is fixed.



*** Works-in-Progress Stories Moved ***

A MEFA member pointed out two work-in-progress stories that were
competing with competed stories. As you may know, entries that are
works-in-progress, fixed-length ficlets or poetry are supposed to
compete in subcategories with other pieces of that type. Therefore,
I've moved these two stories to the best available work-in-progress
subcategory, based on the authors' first-, second-, and third-choice
main category selections.

- "Brotherhood" by Bodkin has been moved to Genres: Drama: Incomplete
(from Times: Mid-Third Age: General)

- "Miss Dora Baggins' Book of Manners" by Dreamflower has been moved
to Races: Hobbits: Incomplete (from Genres: Humor: The Shire or Buckland)

If you see any works-in-progress competing in the same subcategory
with completed fics, please let us know. There's a fairly technical
exception, so I may tell you that a WIP is indeed in the right place -
but better safe than sorry! If you think a work-in-progress may be in
the wrong place I'm happy to look at it to make sure.

*******

I think that's it for goings-on at the site. Keep up the excellent
work reviewing.
