Stupid question, possibly - what is a K count? Really can't remember!

Filesize, in kilobytes

Michael

DUHHHHHH!!! I thought it was some sort of rating related to the Kerths!

Thanks for the clarification... I was going to ask the same question!

Cheers
Elizabeth

I've just added the following story to the list.

Ricochet - Sue S

Tricia

File sizes for my fics.

Time To Love 1 - Weekend in Smallville – 82
Time To Love 2 - First Days in Metropolis – 183
Time To Love 3 - Adrift – 244
Time To Love 4 - So Many Questions - 341

Awaken My Heart – 925
Second Chance - 21

Tricia,

I'm not trying to be a pain, but some of the file sizes are in error. For my own stories, two are wrong:

After a Door Slams is 27 Kb, not 12
Valentine's Cards is 14 Kb, not 3

Not really an issue, they are what they are. I was just pretty sure Valentine's Cards was not a Super Short.

Bob

Regardless of size, it was a lovely fic and one I've gone back to numerous times!

Bob, the Kb size was taken from the archive upload list. I have changed them on the list.

Tricia

What happened to bobbart's "Distance"? The sequel to "100 metres". I don't find it on the list.
Thanks
Artemis

Artemis, thanks for asking.

"100 Meters" is eligible this year but "Distance" didn't get into the archive until January so it's not eligible until next year.

Bob

Bob, you can choose to make it eligible if you want to because it was posted in 2009.

Here are the details.

But the dates on the story are written October 2009 and posted November 2009. To me, that makes it eligible. Also, you posted it here when you wrote it. It works so well with "100 metres".
Like FH said, "make it so". Otherwise, I'll have to change my ballot!
regards
Artemis

Re: "Distance":

I actually debated this very point with myself since it was right on the cusp and it was associated with "100 Meters."

And Artemis: I wouldn't want you to have to do that.

I have requested that Distance be added to the eligibility list for this year.

Bob

Yeah! I seems more "logical" to have the two parts in the same year!
Live long and Prosper
Artemis

Distance has been added to the eligible story list.
