When I compiled the list, G_W's stories all had "Email sent to
author." That meant she hadnot started her forms at that time. But
someone mentioned (can't remember if it's here, LJ, or private email)
that the emails her liaison sent were caught in her spam trap.

So what you are seeing now is this list of hard-to-reach authors doing
what it's supposed to do: authors that were originally not being
reached have been reached and have made a start on their nominations.

That's a simple question: I emailed her, and recieved a reply from her
yesterday evening-- her nom letters were caught in her spam trap. As soon
as she retrieved them she began to work on them!
