MEFA Reviews Available at Website Posted by melayton@gmail.com July 14, 2008 - 0:45:08 Topic ID# 9211
Hey guys,

The first of this year's MEFA reviews are eligible at the website. The
reviews that are displayed are the reviews people entered since
nominations opened, that were given the status "final."

Some people enter their reviews as hidden or draft so they can edit them
later on. Those reviews won't show up. And obviously people will be
writing and submitting reviews for several months now, so reviews will
continue to be displayed through the rest of the awards. If you do not
have any reviews yet, don't be discouraged; the reviews that are there
now, are just the first of the reviews that will be submitted for this
year's awards and displayed on our website.

This is exciting news that some of you have been waiting for. It also
means there are a few topics worth discussing.

To find the reviews, do the following:

1. Log in to www.mefawards.net/MEFA2008/
2. Click the "Read All Reviews" link (below the randomly-selected
nomination.)

This will display all the reviews for any author. You can see all the
reviews for your stories (or any other author's) by selecting your name
from the Author filter and clicking the "Display selected nominations"
button.

If you are part of an author group, you will need to select that name
separately. So for instance, selecting "Golden" will bring up reviews
for the stories written by Golden alone; selecting "Golden/Pearl Took
CoAuthors" will bring up the reviews for the nominations by that author
group.

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

You can also display all of the reviews that you've written for other
authors.

1. Log in to www.mefawards.net/MEFA2008/
2. Click the "Read Reviews by Reviewer" link (right under "Read All
Reviews")
3. Select your own name from the Reviewer filter and click "Display
selected nominations (if it isn't already selected).

This will show the reviews that you haven't already marked as having
read - if you've marked any of the reviews you've written you can see
them by clicking the "Show Marked Reviews" link.

And the coolest part: you can edit your hidden and draft reviews by
clicking the "Edit Hidden Review" or "Edit Draft Review" link, without
going to another part of the site.

This section can also be used to find reviews written by the same
reviewer. If you're enjoying reading a particular person's reviews, just
select them as the reviewer, click "Display selected nominations," and
find all of the publicly-visible reviews that that reviewer has written.

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

There's a new feature this year that you might find helpful. Authors,
when you're logged in, you'll see a link to "Reply to this review" on
reviews of your stories. It's on the review header (listing title,
reviewer, and other information), at the end of the second line. Click
on this link and you will be shown instructions on how to reply to any
review.

The choice of whether to reply to reviews or not is yours. If you do
choose to reply, your reply won't be displayed on our website. Rather,
it will be emailed to the reviewer through private email. Your email
will be given to the reviewer, and they may choose to respond to your
reply, if they choose to do so.

I hope you'll find this new feature helpful. If you have questions, feel
free to ask.

Marta
