...so do I get a prize? wink

Really, here's my question.

I know that eligible stories are those stories submitted for uploading to the archive within the calendar year. So stories to be considered for 2004 Kerths must be on the archive by Dec. 31, 2004.

However, if a story has been posted to the MBs in its entirety by Dec. 31 (say the last posted segment is on Dec. 30) but it hasn't yet been placed on the archive, can it still be eligible for 2004 Kerths? And in such a case, is it ok to take the MB posted story and then submit it to the archive for uploading in January, 2005, knowing that that story would not be eligible for 2005 Kerths?

I understand that it's up to the writer to ask the Kerth Committee to add a story if the story hasn't been archived yet, but I just wondered if that's ok. Especially if the writer has intentions of sending it to archive but wanted to have the final reader fdk to work from in fine tuning the story.

Thanks for any help!
