Awards Official 2006 Saga SFFA Thread -- Thanks to everyone for their participation!

That's what I got out of the discussion before it went off a bit, Shinar. Drama won't be, but discussion will. Absolutely.

 

To all of the volunteers and mods. The awards will be great, I can tell. You all are handling everything wonderfully as so far the boards haven't blown up. Just don't Jade near them...

 

Friendly reminder that excerpts are due on Sunday!

 

Don't forget, only one more day for exerpt submission!

 

Excerpts are due by MIDNIGHT TONIGHT! Please get them in if you haven't already.

 

Thank you to all the authors who sent in excerpts. Keep an eye out for the Saga Excerpt Thread, which will be sticked to the top of the Resource page within the next few days. And remember, voting starts on July 29th!

 

Wonderful job to you all!

 

The Excerpt Thread is now up!

 

Looks great, and I hope you enjoy the few moments of downtime before votes start.

 

I missed the deadline! STANG!!!

 

Good morning!

Just a reminder that voting starts TOMORROW. Any PMs containing votes sent before midnight tonight will be returned and you will have to resubmit them.

Here's a refresher course on voting...


VOTING PROCESS:

1) Copy the qualifying list into a PM. Remove all the stories in the categories except the one per category you want to vote for.

2) Send in your votes in ONE PM.

3) You will NOT receive a confirmation PM regarding your votes. If you do not receive a PM from the awards sock within 24 hours of your PM being read, then you did everything correctly.


VOTING RULES:

1. You must register prior to voting, so that we ensure that you are not a sock. Registration will be open through the voting period.

2. No voting with a sock. Voting with a sock WILL result in a short-term ban and none of your votes will be allowed.

3. You may vote only once in each era, in one PM as stated earlier. If you send your votes in multiple PMs, they will not be counted. The only exception will be on a case-by-case basis, per information given to you by THIS SOCK only.

4. Voting is open from July 29 at 12:01 AM board time until August 7 11:59 PM board time. Late votes will not be counted at all--no exceptions. Early votes will be returned and you will be expected to send your vote in again under the correct timeline. No exceptions. See rule 7 if you will not be available during the voting period.

5. PM the Saga Fanfic Awards Sock sock with your vote. Votes sent elsewhere will not be counted.

6. Only fics on the Qualifying List are eligible for votes. Votes for other fics will not be counted.

7. If you will not be available or internet-accessible during the voting time period, arrange with the host, BigFatty, for absentee voting. This must be arranged ahead of time, before the nomination period ends. Those needing an absentee ballot will follow all of the voting rules.

8. You cannot vote for yourself. Votes for yourself will not be counted.

 

and to all the Saga volunteers and host! You guys are doing a wonderful job!

But here's something you may need more in the next few days:

And a for good luck.

The voting period has begun, so feel free to send us your votes!

 

Don't forget to send in your votes!!!

 

My attempt to nom was failed because of DRL and some problems with the internet, but can I still vote? Or is it required that you nommed?

 

The only requirement you have to meet in order to vote is to register by sending a PM to Voter_Registration. If you have done that, you are free to vote.

 

You guys are doing a great job. These awards have been extremely well-run. Good luck with the ceremony!

 

Just giving this thread a little up as a REMINDER...

Only 5 days left to send in your votes!

I wish you guys a happy, stress free week. Good luck!

 

Just another small nudge...

PLEASE NOTE!!!
