ADMIN – Focus on Drabbles and Other Fixed Length Ficlets Posted by Tanaqui November 20, 2008 - 17:21:02 Topic ID# 9557Hey guys,
Here is your weekly admin post. With just over a week to go and nearly
4000 final reviews already published, I'm sure many of you have reviewed
most of the stories you already know and love, as well as new ones about
favourite characters or settings. You have, perhaps, reached the stage
with your reviewing where, like the guests at The Long-Expected Party,
you are 'filling up the corners'. And what better dainties to nibble at
than some of the 160-plus drabbles, fixed-length ficlets of less than
500 words, and fixed-length ficlet series that we have competing this year.
These stories mostly take just a few minutes each to read although
they may take much longer to fully digest! so there's still plenty of
time to select a few to review. They are spread across many Races, Times
and Genres, meaning there's something to suit almost everyone's tastes.
So if you want to cram in just one or two more reviews and make some
more MEFA authors happy, this list will help you find these shorter
pieces in this year's awards.
For the list of pieces in this announcement I've used the story type
"Fixed-Length Ficlets". Finding the list of these works is pretty
straightforward. To do this
1. Log in to www.mefawards.net/MEFA2008/
2. Click the "Stories" link at the top of the page.
3. Click the "Show Filter" link.
4. Click the "Clear All Filters" button if you've used the filter before
this session.
5. Select "Fixed-Length Ficlets" from the "Story Type" filter at the top
6. Click the "Display selected nominations" button.
This will pull up all of the nominated pieces that are fixed-length
ficlets, whether true drabbles of 100 words or written to some other
specific length..
