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.

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.

[tejas.livejournal.com]

Anytime!

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.

[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.

[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]

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.

[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.

[sg-fignewton.livejournal.com]

Hee hee! Fig Newton, catalyst for fanfic!

I quite like the title. :)

[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
http://community.livejournal.com/sg1_five_things/97200.html?thread=2088112#t2088112

Five Things Daniel won't miss when he finallly leaves the SGC.

[tejas.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Surprisingly, few people self-nominate.

[sg-fignewton.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the link! :)
