One More New Main Category Posted by melayton@gmail.com May 05, 2008 - 9:38:30 Topic ID# 8749
Hey guys,

We've added one more new main category. Hopefully this will be the last
one! You may now select

Genres: Longer Works

This category is intended for stories 40,000 words or longer; if your
story is slightly shorter but you would like it to compete against
novels you may select this category option as well. If you are placed in
this category you will compete against longer stories but may not
compete exclusively against stories set in the same time period, or
involving the same race. Longer stories are still eligible for all of
the other categories, if for instance you would prefer your Boromir
novel to compete against other stories about Men rather than other novels.

A word to the wise: we try to honor your first category choice wherever
possible, but sometimes have to place stories in their second- or
third-choice category. You can increase your chances of ending up in
Longer Works by selecting it as your first choice and selecting a
traditionally larger category for your second-choice (we sometimes move
stories into their second choice if the category is too small). But in
any case you still need to select three category choices that you're
happy with.

If you would like to select this category choice but have already
submitted your form, contact your liaison or
mefasupport(at)mefawards(dot)net, and they (or I) will help you.
