Um, silly me was nominating tonight and I got distracted by my kids
and inadvertently posted wording from my draft review in the block
intended for giving the author's contact info... I was nominating
three stories by Fiondil.

Can one of the admin types help fix this goof? I DID put the review
text into the correct box, when I realized what I'd done...

*Feeling absolutely foolish*

Hi Rhyselle,

We should be able to fix this, no problem. I just want to make sure I
understand the error, because once it's deleted, what I delete will be
gone for good.

As I understand it, you accidentally pasted your review of a story into
the "Nomination Notes" (the text field at the very bottom of the
nomination form). You also entered the review in the actual review form.
Is this correct?

If my understanding is correct, just let me know what story was affected
(if you remember) and I will delete what you entered into the Nomination
Notes part of the form.

If you also will need to enter this into the review form (i.e., if you
haven't already entered your review), let me know and I will email you
what you pasted into the Nomination Notes textbox, so you can enter it
as a review for that story.

Thanks,

Marta

I thought things started on the fourth! I somehow am behind the
eight-ball, apparently. I was just testing!

Hi Bonnie,
We start at midnight GMT (or a bit later, when daylight savings dorks things
up). It's already May 4th elsewhere in the world. ;-)

Thank you, Marta.

That is correct. I accidentally pasted my review of THE LAST MESSENGER: A
Tale of Numenor into the Nomination Notes area of the nomination form. I
did enter the review in the actual review form. I did this also for
PROPHECY: Changing the Future.

So if you can delete the review bits in the Nomination Notes, I would really
appreciate it. :) Thank you!

Well, don't mind me--a day late and several braincells short. I've had
a LOOONNNNGGGG week, and will have a longer one next week! Please
forgive me! Marta, can you remove my nomination of Fiondil's "The Wars
of the Valar," as it has already been nominated, and I thought I was
just testing the system! Will it count against me?

Hiya Bonnie,

MEFA days begin and end at midnight GMT. I live in the U.S. Eastern time
zone, and that happens to fall at 8 PM my time right now. When we're out
of Daylight Savings Time, I think it occurs at a different time (7 PM my
local time?)

If you want to figure out how this compares to your local time, go to
http://www.mefawards.net/MEFA2008 (or any other page of the MEFA2008
website) and look in the bottom-left corner. You'll find a line that
starts with "Page Served at," which tells you the official time when you
loaded that web page. Right now, for me that line reads

Page Served at: 2008-05-04 02:10:24 GMT

And it is currently 10:10 PM local time - which tells me that I am four
hours behind the site time, so midnight for the site is 8 PM for me on
the night before. Your own time difference will vary based on where you
live. It will also change based on whether we're in daylight savings
time or not.

This becomes important for the end of seasons. For instance, nominations
close on June 15. That means that on the midnight between June 15 & 16,
the site will stop accepting nominations. And that midnight as based on
GMT - so I won't be able to enter a nomination after 8 PM on June 15, my
local time. When that time ends for you depends on where you live.

Hope that helps!

PS - If you entered a review or nomination that you thought was just for
testing, let me know and I'll remove it for you.

Marta

Hiya Rhyselle,

Okay, thanks for clearing it up! I've deleted the review bit.

Hiya Bonnie,

Since you were just trying to test the website, I think that story can
be withdrawn, no problem. I will withdraw it without you losing a
nomination.

You didn't enter a vote by any chance, did you? If so, I need to know to
withdraw that as well.

Marta

'For every evil that rises, we are given ways to fight it. Or... in the absence of a fight, we are given each other to weather it. We're a bunch of survivors here, that's what we are. Not quite victorious, but then again, there hadn't really been a war. And yet we were fighting something... maybe ourselves, and the alone-ness that permeated each of us before we somehow found each other, ultimately found ourselves.' - Elrohir, For Every Evil
