Hey Everyone--

Right now we could use more Critical Essays/Articles, Poems (both short & long) and Action/Adventure. I know that there's some good ones on this site. So nominate them! |

Does anyone know what's going on with this?
I'm very confused.
There were nominations
Then semi-finalists
then a problem with the semi-finalists
now there's a list of finalists ...
I had a story among the semi-finalists, that's not now on the finalist list. Are the finalists all winners just waiting to be ranked? and my story remains a semi-finalist?
Does anyone understand this? Lemme know.

From what I read on the Mitril Awards yahoolist is that there is a list of finalists and that they are discussing the rules for the finalists.
This is from the digest:

The finalist rules are being, well, finalized even as we speak. I just have to remember to attach the rough draft for Alcanazar and Eledhwen's approval.

Hello All
No, I am not dead. Yet.
This year has been rough for some reasons that no one forsaw. The biggest was my stepmother, who was admitted into the hospital in may. She was finally released a week ago.
That really set us back because Alcanazar & I had to take over my father's affairs so that he could make the 150 mile daily roundtrip tp be with her. There was no hotel near the hospital, which forced the trip on him.
Anyway, now that she is home, we no longer have to handle two households worth of problems. So we are back at work. The last of the instructions will be finalized in a day or so & then judging can commence. |

Yeah--the stories that made it from semifinals to finals are now going to be judged to determine which are the actual final winners for each category. In the past one winner and sometimes an Honorable Mention was chosen from the finalists for each category. Does that answer your question?

So, those semis not chosen as finalists end the contest as semis, and those non-final finalists fall back into that pool of semis?

That's prtially true. If a story isn't advanced to the Finals, it ends as a Semi-Finalist.
If it makes the Finals but doesn't win, it's still a Finalist. |
