Hard-to-Reach Authors Posted by aure\_enteluva May 17, 2008 - 20:19:29 Topic ID# 8810
Hey guys,

Here are some authors who had stories nominated before 5/10/2008, and
who have not contacted their liaisons or otherwise indicated they
would like to compete. If you know any of these authors, please nudge
them so they can compete if they'd like to. You may direct them either
to their individual liaison or to me, at mefasupport(at)mefawards(dot)net

Promoters: Feel free to reproduce this list or post a link to this
post, wherever you normally promote the MEFAs. Or not; I leave it up
to you to decide what's too much posting for your community, and
what's the right amount.

Hi Marta,

Bodkin just posted (after a long hiatus) a new chapter of her story "A
Darkness Lies Behind Us" just last week. I haven't reviewed the new chapter
yet, but I will leave a note for her to contact you if you would like.

Hi Bodkin,

Please do - that would be excellent. Please have her email me at

Thanks,

I've noticed Bodkin's finalized two other nominations. So it's not as if
she's unaware. Perhaps she's on vacation or her internet is down. I'll leave
a note at SoA anyway just to be sure.

Hi,

I asked Bodkin's permission to nominate and she agreed. I'm sorry she didn't
respond.

Just now, I sent her a PM through HASA (she's a member there) - HASA emails
usually get to the people yesterday. Hopefully, we'll get a reply quickly.

Blessings,
Agape

Very early this morning, I sent a PM to LIth at the boards she frequents...
I'm sending one to the mod at those boards for help contacting her.

Hey guys,

Here are some authors who had stories nominated before 5/10/2008, and

Promoters: Feel free to reproduce this list or post a link to this
post, wherever you normally promote the MEFAs. Or not; I leave it up

Lindelea apologized to me for not following through earlier, but
between homeschooling and other commitments and family matters she's
been unable as yet to finalize hers. She hopes to get to it this week.

I have no idea how Bodkin got on the hard to contact list--she has
contacted me within hours of each of her nominations. And almost all
of them were finalized within 24 hours of nomination... I have a
response from her on all nominations though.

Hard-to-Reach Authors Posted by melayton@gmail.com May 31, 2008 - 10:11:37 Topic ID# 8810
Hey guys,

Here is a list of hard-to-reach authors. All of these authors were
nominated before May 24, and all of them do not have other stories
they've begun work on.

***************************

Lady Sunrope (liaison: elea24)
#350: "A Commotion About a Potion" nominated by: Baranduin on 14 May 2008

PeppyPower (liaison: brindlemom2)
#326: "Not Speak or Whisper" nominated by: Calenlass Greenleaf on 11 May
2008

Queen Galadriel (liaison: Nancy Brooke)
#402: "Call of the Dream" nominated by: Dreamflower on 18 May 2008

Regina (liaison: aranelgoldenflower)
#166: "The finest of Vintages" nominated by: aranelgoldenflower on 05
May 2008

Vana Tuivana (liaison: elliska)
#343: "The Night's Eye" nominated by: Dwimordene on 12 May 2008

Willow-wode (liaison: brindlemom2)
#132: "Rites of Passage" nominated by: PipMer on 04 May 2008

***************************

I hope that we can reach these authors so they can compete. However, it
has to be said - you guys have done a really awesome job tracking down
hard-to-reach authors.

REMEMBER:

--- you may nominate a piece until 11:59 PM GMT on June 15.
--- authors must finalize a nomination by 11:59 PM GMT on June 21, or it
will not be able to compete.

(For the official time go to any MEFA2008 website. The time that page
was loaded at will be displayed in the lower left corner, beside "Page
Served At: ".)

Hey Marta,

I know for a fact that PeppyPower has been having some internet problems
lately (she lives in Germany). I will try to reach her via a friend. I was
going to email her friend this weekend anyway and will give her the
necessary information.

contact her liason. I hope so because it's a lovely story and deserves to be
nominated.

Marta--

In regards to this, is there anywhere the date and time of nomination is
recorded, that we liaisons can see? I didn't notice such a thing, but I
might be looking in the wrong place.

I'm thinking that way if we wish, we liaisons can give our nominees a nudge
a day or so before they make the list.

Hi Beverly,

I will try to get a hold of PeppyPower tomorrow (for me as I live in China
and it's nearly midnight here). Hopefully I will be able to get through to
her.

I think this is a great way to get in touch with those people (and it
certainly gets attention--spams my email all day when it is posted!). I don't see
any shame in using the list to reach them if they don't respond in a timely
way to notification of a nomination. As it seems to be very effective in
reaching them and, if anything, should have the liaisons work.

Oh, I think the list is very effective--but if we have an author whom we
think *might* show up on it, and can get in touch before they make the list,
then the list will be shorter, anyway.

Hi Barbara,

I don't know how to do it from within the liaison section of the
website, but the nomination date *is* accessible to all members. Just go
to the listing of nominations (click "Stories" at the top of the
website, or "Browse Nominated Stories" from the home page). In the right
column, just below the nomination status there will be a line that looks
like:

Nom. Date: 2008-05-04 12:03:31

That's the official site time. Btw, the format is

Nom. Date: [year]-[month]-[day] [hour]:[minute]:[second]

It seems that the time stamp is in AM/PM notation, but doesn't show
whether it's AM or PM. Still, that will get you the day.

You can sort the list by "author" (so you can look at just your
authors), or you can sort the list by ID # to get the nominations in the
order they were nominated. Just click on the blue "ID" or "Author" above
the columns at the top of the nominations list.

Btw, if it helps, I will always send out the nomination list on Saturday.

HTH,

Marta

Hi Oshun,

The liaisons do work very hard to get in touch with nominees, and I'm
all for anything that makes their life easier. I've been impressed this
year, both with their work and everyone else's who has contacted authors
that show up on this list.

But the real problem is that in many cases the liaisons have just run
out of options. They may not know where an author hangs out if it isn't
mentioned to them, so people who see the name of someone they know and
help us make first contact are doing work that we (the awards
volunteers) *can't* do. So thanks!

Marta

Hi Barbara,

*nods*

I agree - the list is a very useful tool, and I'm very glad we use it
where necessary - but if it isn't necessary, I'm also all for anything
that will keep the list as short as possible.

Hey guys,

Here is a list of hard-to-reach authors. All of these authors were
nominated before May 24, and all of them do not have other stories
they've begun work on.

************ ********* ******

Lady Sunrope (liaison: elea24)
#350: "A Commotion About a Potion" nominated by: Baranduin on 14 May 2008

PeppyPower (liaison: brindlemom2)
#326: "Not Speak or Whisper" nominated by: Calenlass Greenleaf on 11 May
2008

Queen Galadriel (liaison: Nancy Brooke)
#402: "Call of the Dream" nominated by: Dreamflower on 18 May 2008

Regina (liaison: aranelgoldenflower)
#166: "The finest of Vintages" nominated by: aranelgoldenflower on 05
May 2008

Vana Tuivana (liaison: elliska)
#343: "The Night's Eye" nominated by: Dwimordene on 12 May 2008

Willow-wode (liaison: brindlemom2)
#132: "Rites of Passage" nominated by: PipMer on 04 May 2008

************ ********* ******

I hope that we can reach these authors so they can compete. However, it
has to be said - you guys have done a really awesome job tracking down
hard-to-reach authors.

REMEMBER:

--- you may nominate a piece until 11:59 PM GMT on June 15.
--- authors must finalize a nomination by 11:59 PM GMT on June 21, or it
will not be able to compete.

(For the official time go to any MEFA2008 website. The time that page
was loaded at will be displayed in the lower left corner, beside "Page
Served At: ".)

Lily,

I'm not sure where you're trying to contact her, but she is a member of HASA
so I took the liberty of sending her a PM asking her to contact us at
mefawards@yahoogroups.com.

She has been active at HASA as late as December 27, 2007. Hopefully, she'll
respond one way or the other. I really hate to lose a tale! I'm anal, sorry!
Hope I haven't stepped on your toes.
