Dear f-list, I'm calling on your help to save my sorry arse!

( Here is a list of people who have been nominated but have not yet responded to their alerts. )

Just a quick heads-up to anyone who may be wondering, I'm in the process now of sending out the alert notifications for those who've been nom'd in this years' AFFA.  I'm hoping to get them all done today, but if not they will definitely all be sent out by tomorrow (West Oz-time!).  While we haven't had a huge number of nomination ballots submitted ( Read more... )
