DD (pen name Dinossiel) is interested in joining MEFAs and reviewing. Is there a lower age limit for members? Also, DD uses my email address. Will that be a problem? (We can get her a yahoo address, I think, if we have to. It's not hard to get a yahoo address, is it?)
Please advise, and thanks.

Hi Lin,
We do not have a formal age limit, so Dinossiel can participate if she'd
like to. However, we would need a unique email address for her,
something not used by any other MEFAwards member.
The one thing that gives me pause is that we do not provide a way of
filtering the site so it only shows stories of a certain rating. Our
stories are rated General, Teen, or Mature, and as you can see at our
ratings guide*, the general stories usually don't contain any
objectionable content - but it would be up to you to make sure that she
only read general-rated stories, or whatever you think is
age-appropriate. The site just isn't set up to do that.
But I guess that's a parenting thing rather than a site policy thing. If
you trust Dinossiel to use the site, then I have no objections.
Marta

Dinossiel reads only G-rated stories, so hopefully we can filter for
that, eventually? In any event, I am always there reading over her
shoulder when she is on the Internet.
Hi Lin,
You're a good mum. :-) I trust you to do that, but wanted to mention it
because I didn't want to expose your daughter to adult material for lack
of warning you.
Anyway - as soon as she gets an email address, subscribe that email
address to this group, and our volunteers will set her up at the voting
website.
