Robinski Posted June 11, 2016 Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 Lol. There are 5 each in the novel, novella and novelette categories. Neal Stephenson has included his entire novel Seven Eyes, the others are excerpts. The novellas (including a Brandon Sanderson) and the Novelettes (including a Steven King) are complete. There seem only to be 4 shorts stories, but one of the nominees may have chosen not to include their nominated piece in the pack. The other categories are Related Work; Graphic Story (BIIIG Zip file!!!); Professional Editor; Pro Artist; Semiprozine; Fanzine; Fancast; Fan Writer; Fan Artist and John W. Campbell Award. I have my work cut out here!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krystalynn03 Posted June 11, 2016 Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 (edited) The '5 novels' alone would have been a lot of work... Are you going to try to read everything??? Even as excerpts... Edited June 11, 2016 by krystalynn03 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robinski Posted June 11, 2016 Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 I'm going to read a part of everything, in particular trying to read all the short forms, as that is what I am trying to focus on and improve in my work. On the plus side, I won't need to worry about line-by-lines! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krystalynn03 Posted June 11, 2016 Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 So do you just cast a vote somewhere or do you provide some kind of specific feedback? These are all finished products, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robinski Posted June 11, 2016 Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 (edited) Yes, I think they are all published, and surely have to be to be eligible. Yes, I vote online in each category as far as I'm aware. All attending members get to vote. It's $50 for a non-attending membership.

Mandamon Posted June 11, 2016 Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 Robinski--I just downloaded my packet yesterday as well! When I was a member two years before they sent us a packet, so I was waiting for them to send me something. Turns out I needed to download it, and now I need to read everything! At least I've read about half of the Novel and Novella entries already... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mandamon Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 Yep. The white is a bit dazzling, but the rest looks good. I liked the green theme before, but then I like green... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krystalynn03 Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 I was scanning the thread talking about the update, and there were several people there who also agree with the white. I feel the same, too. I'm hoping they tone it down a little. I already keep my screen at the lowest brightness possible, and it still causes strain as is. Everything else looks sleek and great, though! I was scanning the thread talking about the update, and there were several people there who also agree with the white. I feel the same, too.

In other news, I am delighted to say I have finished a fairly hard edit of Hold the Bridge, complete with new ending. I'm going to do a read-through and then another edit, but will submit it again thereafter in the hope of not being savaged again ;op #trollingRobinski Edited June 16, 2016 by Robinski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krystalynn03 Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 Oh good news. Looking forward to it. But I see you went from City-Boy to "That Darn City Boy" ...lol what mischief have you been up to...never mind. Don't tell us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
