Re: Check Ballot #1 - Humor Posted by Jane O. Abbott July 06, 2008 - 20:16:56 Topic ID# 9080Hello,
Would it be possible to move “Terra Incognita” to Modern, instead of Humor?
The modern setting is a more salient characteristic than the humor (which is
very understated). I did choose humor for a second category, but only
because there wasn’t any other choice for this piece since it includes no
canon characters.
Thanks!

Would it be possible to move “Terra Incognita” to Modern, instead of Humor?
The modern setting is a more salient characteristic than the humor (which is
very understated). I did choose humor for a second category, but only
because there wasn’t any other choice for this piece since it includes no
canon characters.

Re: Check Ballot #1 - Humor Posted by melayton@gmail.com July 07, 2008 - 1:27:55 Topic ID# 9080Hi Branwyn,
I checked, and "Terra Incognita" is a drabble. That means that (per MEFA
policy) it needs to be categorized with drabbles. Unfortunately, we
didn't have enough Modern Times drabbles to have a drabble subcategory
there. There's only one subcategory in Modern Times, and that's all
full-length stories.
If you like, I could add a line to your summary saying that the drabble
is set in our modern times.

Hi Branwyn,
I checked, and "Terra Incognita" is a drabble. That means that (per MEFA
policy) it needs to be categorized with drabbles. Unfortunately, we
didn't have enough Modern Times drabbles to have a drabble subcategory
there. There's only one subcategory in Modern Times, and that's all
full-length stories.
If you like, I could add a line to your summary saying that the drabble
is set in our modern times.
