Okay, this one is confusing. In the future, nominators, if you want a
multiple story to count as one story, nominate it together as
Adara/BoromirFan did. Otherwise, nominate each part separately.

This one is presently in the database as separate parts, so I'll keep it
that way unless the author says otherwise. Adara. which way do you prefer
it?

Categorizer: I looked up the various parts. They have separate titles:
Love and Lust, Paths of Peril, and The Power of Love. I've updated the
database to show the titles as: (separate title): A Dynasty Broken (Part X)

Also, Parts 1 and 2 are complete. Part 3 is a WIP.

Ainae-

That was my fault, as I categorised it. Because the pieces were
submitted with separate url's, I assumed they were meant to be
separate pieces; I won't do that in the future.

On the contrary, Marta, I think the fault was mine. I hadn't thought about
this possibility. This is the first time it came up. I'd agree that the
three URL's would seem to indicate this as three nominations in one. We
really need the author/nominator to let us know how she prefers it.

Now that it has come up, I just wanted to get a policy for how to handle
them in the future out there.

Just a note or two on the banner submissions. They look great so far, so
keep 'em coming!

However, I have noted a tendency for some of them to be...well...huge. I
haven't set a specific dimensional guideline and I don't want to. Just keep
in mind that these are ment to be displayed on a page with the winning
story. I'm not going to edit the ones posted to the Yahoo site, but I am
going to reduce the size on some on the web site. I won't change the
perameters or anything. I'll just cut them down by percentages. Don't
worry. They just have to be smaller.

Second note: Do make a post to the list saying you've submitted something.
We want to get them on the web site so folks can see them, but I won't know
to go find them in the Photos section unless you tell me. ;-)

Oh, and the poll did close meaning the voting on the banners will take place
after Voting Season (for fanfic) closes.

Okay, thanks.

I won't change their "dimensions". That was the word I was looking for.
Okay, I've reduced the size on most of them, even a couple of my own.

There was one, however, that I couldn't really reduce without distorting the
words. Could the creator of the akallabeth #1 banner please reduce that one
a bit? I'm sure you could enlarnge the words so that they'd still be
legible, but the overall banner might be smaller. Maybe about half that
size.

Thank you.
