WKA: Rule Number Nine  
  • Working, stable, public links to the actual story must be provided – not just to an archive site’s home page. Any nominations without a working link will be deleted.

    So, a fic posted to a members-only-archive Yahoo Group is not a public link. Right? I should delete it. Right?

    I have ten of the buggers.

    Aaaaand, the group itself is nominated for best site. No problem with that - I'm a member and it is a Xander-centric list so it fits the category.

    *le sigh*

    Now I remember why I only run the awards two or three times a year!

    ETA Oh - and fyi? A fic cannot be nominated in the 'New Author' category, and hey - if it's a series it's not an epic fic. A Series = a collection of stories which are connected but can stand alone (be read without reading the others). An Epic fic - a multiple-chapter story, the individual parts of which cannot stand alone. (One nomination email has five categories listed for a fic, including best new author. I think there would have been more if there wasn't a limit on the number of characters in that text box...) end edit

    jgracioJG? Is it your birthday today? I have it down as tomorrow and am confused. If it's today then
    Happy Birthday!
    If it's tomorrow, ignore that!

    Why is the difference between a series and a multichapter fic so difficult to grasp?

    Same with links to fics that people can actuallly access. Is it that hard to figure out that the people voting must be able to READ the fic to know if they want to vote on it?

    It's tomorrow. But thanks anyway. :)

    And I've been bad, haven't nominated at all this past weekend. :(

    You and Shannon have many of the same problems when it comes to awards sites... You poor baby!
