In just a few days the nominations for the Alt Kerths will close and we haven't received too many noms until now. So I was wondering why that is. Always feel free to explain below.

Well there is something strange with the poll counter or something. I voted, refreshed twice, and it still said that 0 people had voted - and yet when I looked at the results, it said that there had been two votes.

Maybe it just needs a few more minutes to catch up?

Melisma (going to bed here under her Rock - goodnight FoLCs )

I think so, Mel. I've voted on a few polls before and not had the vote register immediately, so I think it just needs time to catch up.

As for the question - I'm going to try and get noms in at least in some of the categories before Sunday. But there are a lot of categories I just don't feel able to gather noms for.

I don't have time to go through hundreds of stories for instance, searching out fight or smoochies scenes and if I don't read everything elibigle before I nominate I feel as though I'm cheating someone who might be worthy of a nomination.

Likewise, I don't have time to go through dozens of comments folders for those categories - to be honest I wouldn't even know where to start there.

But I will nominate in the categories that I can cope with.

LabRat

well, i didn't nom in all the categories (a few because i didn't know the eligibles well enough, a few because i nomed from the eligibles list, not noticing that there were other categories on the full categories list), but i did send my noms in a while ago.

i'm just posting now because i thought it might be a good idea to post a link in this thread to the alt-kerths page. that way when people see the poll and feel guilty about not having nommed yet, they can immediately go to the page and get to work...

so, for whoever needs it, here's the address of the alt-kerth main page:

Okay, okay, I'm working on it. And it's not as hard as I assumed but some of those categories... I don't remember Kerth speeches, and the thought of going through all those logs is pretty daunting, frankly

And to pick the best smoochie or fight scene in hte past two years??

But I'm trying, I promise! and I will send in whatever I can.

PJ

Okay, I've received more nominations so this poll really helped. I'm just moving this back to the top so people will remember this again.

There are only just over six hours left!!

So if you were thinking of entering, hurry.

Ooh, and thanks for the link Paul. I completely forgot about that.

Saskia (from the Alt Kerth Committee)

Because I was off, in a completely disconnected area and I missed the deadline....can you believe that Sas?!!

You know how good I am with deadlines!

Carole

I nominated but didn't get an email acknowledgement. That's okay, right? Guess there's not a real way to tell if it was received?

Thanks for doing it, Alt Kerth committee

don't worry, trenna. i didn't get a confirmation email, either. i know my noms went through, though, because i happened to hear it from alt-kcomm on irc. i don't think they're sending out confirmation emails. just assume that if you sent the email and it didn't bounce that your nomination was recieved.

Paul

Yes, the nominations are over. As we speak, the Alt Kerth Committee is working on the shortlist, so keep looking for it. And if you haven't found time to send it noms, then don't forget to vote. That's just as important.

Trenna, your entry arrived okay. And yes, we didn't send out confirmations. We will be doing that for the voting. Good you asked, we may change it for next year.
