Too long to explain, so kindly sum up

Whew! Back after a week offline and you people have been busy! :) sg1debrief will surely have lots of goodies for me, but in the meantime, if you've posted something Stargate related since the 15th, please drop me a link and let me know.

(Because no, I am NOT going to try and trawl through skip=200 flist.)

Jack and Daniel Food-A-Thon (the Bed-A-Thon sequel :-) is running in my LJ. If the tech issues with the Stargate Fan Awards slow down enough, I'll update the compilation entry that came a couple of days later.

DOH!

[awards team hat on]

Speaking of the Awards: voting has opened. Here's the link to the announcement on LJ: http://sgfanawardsinfo.livejournal.com/4084.html

There's also a Technical Briefing in the LJ about a common problem people are having getting the voting page to load properly. The entry for the fix can be found here: http://sgfanawardsinfo.livejournal.com/4294.html

Thanks!

Whew! A scarily huge undertaking, the SFA. It's going to take weeks to go through all the categories and vote!

Out of curiosity, exactly how many noms did a fanwork require in order to get onto the ballot? Was a single nomination (sometimes self-nommed) enough, or was there a minimum?

[tejas.livejournal.com]

There was debate on that, but the final decision was to require a minimum of 5. There are pros and cons on both sides, but most things will fit into more than one category and sometimes like categories can be logically combined. It's a moving target, no matter what you do. :-)

[sg-fignewton.livejournal.com]

That makes a lot of sense, actually. Thanks for the clarification.

[tejas.livejournal.com]

Anytime!

[aurora-novarum.livejournal.com]

Oh, it took five people nominating you to get on the ballot? Wow, that is impressive.

I knew it was five noms to create a category, but I thought it was still one nom to be one of the nominees.

Good luck with the awards.

[tejas.livejournal.com]

Oh, no! No, only one person nominating to get you on the ballot.

It took five *different* items nominated for a category to 'make'.

I hope I didn't misunderstand the original question.

[sg-fignewton.livejournal.com]

I did actually ask about individual fanworks, not how to form a category.

So a person could get a fanwork onto the ballot via self-nomination, without any other nominations from other people? Interesting.

[tejas.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Surprisingly, few people self-nominate.

I didn't do much stargate-related. Too busy trying to name the stupid bookstore. *grin* I did post with a poem that made me think of Daniel and Sha're and make an icon (http://kalquessa.livejournal.com/499312.html) with some of the text. I think I may do a whole set, now.

[sg-fignewton.livejournal.com]

Ooh, I will have to go back and read the bookstore posts! And I'll check out your icon, thank you.

YAY YOU'RE BACK!

I've been fantastically boring fannishly these past two weeks or so. Probably because you weren't around to egg me on :)

but, um, um, *tries to think of something interesting that happened*

nope. fandom without Fig just isn't fandom.

[sg-fignewton.livejournal.com]

Hee hee! Fig Newton, catalyst for fanfic!

I quite like the title. :)

[aurora-novarum.livejournal.com]

Hmmm. I don't know if I've done much of anything. More wiki stuff, but that's no biggie.

Written fic, but of course being me, nothing's *finished* yet. :-)

You've seen the fan awards are up. There's a lot of stories I haven't read yet. Yay! And a lot I'm happy to reread. Um, yeah, that'll keep me busy.

Um...just meandering along actually. :-)

[sg-fignewton.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's going to take me weeks to go through all that, even with super-skimming of the non-gen sections and no interest in SGA. Good thing we've got a month!

And yay for WIPs, which eventually become fic!

I post a 5 things I'm rather proud of
