change in story category Posted by Andreth/Anna May 14, 2004 - 11:45:12 Topic ID# 847
Ainae, I nominated a story of Jillian's, 'Resurrection', which I
originally put in the Lord of the Rings category. After discussing it
with her last night, she decided that it would be better in the Orc
category and I've corrected both my database and the list database to
reflect that change. I wanted to let you know so you could change it
on the website, too, and also to ask if I needed to have Jillian send
you some kind of statement approving this change or if it was okay as
is?

Thanks!

Anna

Wonderful! Does that make the Orc category viable or do we still
need one more?

It's fine so long as I know so I can update the website. Thank you.

As mentioned in the FAQ (but I'll paraphrase) authors have the authority to
trump nominators in categorizing, rating, summaries, etc. Staff will only
trump the author when it is a case of an inviable category or doesn't fit
the category recommended.

Orcs needs two, so one more to be eligible. It's close though!

Not a problem.Thank.
I think that makes Orcs a viable catogory (subject to author consents). :)

Not quite, but it did make it one short, I believe. If we get more author
consents, we might have it though. How many Orc stories are there nominated
(whether or not the author has approved yet)?

Ainae and Anna,

I will confirm my agreement to the change of catagory for my story
'Resurrection' as per my discussion with Anna.

I have 7 recorded, two of which are WIPs. I'm not sure how many of these
have author approval and I've put shadow975's story as not having staff
approval because the form didn't have an email address for her (although the
story has been approved).
I think Numenor is also viable, subject to author approvals.
Sorry, I think some of the comfusion was my fail as I haven't had time to
keep up to date on the database, just been keeping the list in excel. I
think I'm now up to date to these (though way behind with auther
permissions), but I'll probably get behind again due to exams.

Nerwen,
If you need some help with author approvals, email me the authors &
the story titles you still need to contact and I'll get with them.
Want you to do well with the exams ;-)
