Sorry - another question. If one of your stories was nominated twice, will the 2nd nominator be notified so that they can nominate something else or still lose 1 for nominating that story  (since we can only nominate so many stories) .

That happened to me last year and I think that in that case because the two
nominations happened very soon one right after the other that the second
nominator didn't lose the nomination but was asked to nominate something
else. Naturally, someone who attempts to nominate the same story without
checking to see if hasn't already been nominated will lose the nomination,
but in the case last year I think the two nominations came in very nearly at
the same time and there was nothing posted.

Hiya Alassante,

The way it works is this:

In any case of a repeat, the second nomination will be withdrawn. This
will be done by the liaison assigned to that author. Whether the
nominator gets to replace the nomination depends on the time stamps.

If the second nomination was within twenty-four hours of the first
nomination, we assume that the second nominator didn't know that the
piece had already been nominated. So in this case, the second nomination
is pulled out, and it's like it was never made - the nominator still
gets to nominate however many they want, as if they hadn't nominated
that story.

If the second nomination comes in more than twenty-four hours after the
first nomination, or if it was made in an earlier year, then we assume
that the nominator could have known if they'd checked. So in this case
the nomination is still pulled out, but that nomination still counts
against the nominator's total.

And keep it up with the questions! I don't mind, though I won't always
be this quick to answer. :-)

Marta

thanks to you and Marta for your replies. I just didn't want my friend to lose a nomination because my story had already been nominated.
