hard-to-reach author winners Posted by aure\_enteluva January 12, 2008 - 15:48:20 Topic ID# 8580
Hey guys,

I'm trying to reach a few authors to let them know that they have won
an award. Some of these authors may already know, but they have not
contacted me to arrange for a banner. If you know them, please have
them contact me either by emailing mefasupport-at-gmail-dot-com, or by
commenting at the mefas LJ (http://mefas.livejournal.com). If the
author uses AOL or Yahoo, it's probably best for them to comment
there; those two email seem more likely to treat gmail mail as spam.

(Not every author has to use banners, but it would be great to know
that they chose not to use them so I don't think they just haven't heard.)

(Imhiriel, StefaniaB, EdorasLass, and Grey_Wonderer: I've received
your requests, and those banners are being made. This post isn't about
you, so don't fret on that account.)

While I do my best to keep up with authors who I haven't heard from, I
may have forgotten to mark down that I heard from you. It's been busy.
So if you replied or already have your banners, please let me know
that too.

Oh, and if you know of someone waiting on banners (besides Imhiriel,
Stefaniab, EdorasLass, and Grey_Wonderer) please let me know that, too.

Is that Adaneth or Adanath? If it's the second, I can let her know. I can
also try to reach Pen52 and Willow41z.

The spelling we have at the website is Adaneth, but it's possible it's a
mis-spelling from somewhere along the line. She's nominated for "Fair
Folk and Foul" and "Rock and Hawk."

Thanks for getting in touch with Pen and Willow, I appreciate it.

OK. Great. Sorry. Just checked it's my misspelling/misremembering. If I were
better at Elvish languages, I would have gotten it right the first time. I
will let all three of them know. Although I have not heard from Pen52 in a
while, I do have a couple of way to contact her.

N/p. With such a large and varied fandom, there really could be two
people by similar names.

Excellent.

I think this will be my last attempt at contacting authors to let them
know they've won. (Though I will contact the promoters to let them know
to distribute the list.) We've made a good-faith effort, and I don't
want to pester authors either. So if you can't get in touch with them
that's okay. But I did want to put out one last plug to try to reach
some of these folks.

Sorry I haven't been to pick out a banner or seven, but have been
fighting work schedules, trying to download drivers for the new printer
that refuse to download, and frustration that every time I've EVER
downloaded such things, the computer I downloaded them to has been
wiped in one manner or another within a few weeks. And, as I don't
frequent sites where they post well, I'm wondering about the relevance?

I've sent a message to Willow. If you hear from Adaneth and it's the
wrong one, blame me because I messaged her before I saw Oshun's post.

Sorry!

It was the right one, Nautika. So she'll get the message twice. Willow too.
No big deal.

Hi Bonnie,

I'm sorry work (and life, it sounds!) has been so hectic.

Banners aren't for everyone. If you'd like them you're welcome to them,
but if you don't want to bother or have no real use for them, that's
fine, too. I put them at my LJ, but not many other places.

If you decide you'd like some in the future, let me know.

Marta

Hi Nautika,

No problems. Thanks for emailing Willow and Adaneth; I hope they get in
touch soon.

I'll forward your message to Roh_wyn. I know that she knows about her award, though.
