So yesterday I went and spent some time at my sister's house, my eldest nephew's not well right now so he was off school, talked a little, hashed out some things, went home to my own house and went to bed. It was about 7pm or something, I know it was early. I didn't sleep very well, I didn't write anything, I ended up reading a couple of Pratchett

I may have a rummage round to see if I can find things to nominate for WKA. There does seem to have been a marked decline recently though.

[whiskyinmind]

Awesome! Thank you! There are some carried over from the aborted previous round, but there are way too many categories with nothing in them.

[tessarin]

Nominated a few although a couple are awaiting final chapters so I also put them in the unfinished.

I think I may have used the old form on the temp googlepages site which is the link in your LJ. Have repeated the process on the 2008 wka site and think I have them all let me know if I've missed any think it's about 6/7.

You had a birthday? Really?

*g*

Had I forgotten to say that I'm hoping to come? I could have sworn I'd commented on your LJ about it.

[whiskyinmind]

Could have sworn I'd told you when my JSA was paid in that I'd be able to come. Hopefully D passed on the message last night anyway.

That would be awesome sweetie - thank you!

How much have you been publicizing the sites? I've only seen mention of them on your journal alone, which, while certainly well-read, especially for website news, is perhaps not the wide-set audience you really need for a successful awards run?

I'd nominate, but, well, as a judge, I see it as a bit of a conflict of interest.

[whiskyinmind]

I pimped out S&B yesterday on a couple of comms and it led to a bunch of nominations. I think the best thing to do next would be to try to affiliate with other sites as well and just keep mentioning it everywhere and anywhere to get the interest up.

I will be doing the same for WKA on Monday I think - I hope!

There's a category you can nominate in because you won't be judging it... congrats!

[bellatemple]

. . . It took me far too long to figure out what you were talking about.

But, well . . . that's even a category I probably could nominate a fair number of fics in.

I'm so glad you got some things hashed out.

I sometimes lose perspective of things and talking them out really did help the other day. Even if it was with my sister. *g*
