IYFG Notice for YBR

[landofthekwt.livejournal.com]

Here is the IYFG Nomination notice which was just posted on YBR over at Dokuga
Anonymous (Chapter 1) - Fri 16 Jan 2009



Congratulations Emmaren — your story Yellow Brick Road has been nominated for Best Darkfic/Horror at the Inuyasha FanGuild for the Fourth Quarter of 2008!

This is only the first step in the process though—all nominations have to be seconded in order to reach voting. Furthermore, each nominated story must pass a careful screening process in order to make certain that all stories nominated at the IYFG meet our standards for technical quality. In the event that your story is disqualified for technical reasons, the IYFG offers resources to help you make improvements so that you can appeal the disqualification and have the nomination of your story reinstated. These resources include a Grammar Guide (posted on our website) of helpful hints and common mistakes, as well as a newly created Beta Group to assist you in making any changes you wish to make. You are in no way obligated to use these resources, but they’re here for anyone who is interested.

If you would like to learn more, keep abreast of your story’s progress, or perhaps even join the IYFG and participate in our proceedings yourself, visit our website at Inuyashafanguild.com (or search “Inuyasha FanGuild” if you cannot access the link). And feel free to contact a moderator if you have any questions—their contact info is available on the site.

Congratulations again!

Re: IYFG Notice for YBR

That's the generic notice, though - and wasn't that before it was DQed?

*checks mails* Yup, it was announced as DQed on the 18th.

One would hope they wouldn't put the DQ notice on a public archive! :-/

Have you or she challenged the DQ yet?

Re: IYFG Notice for YBR

[landofthekwt.livejournal.com]

I have not challenged the ruling nor have I communicated with her regarding the nomination. The notice was only posted on Dokuga today. I noticed it when I was reading Part 4 of her epilogue.

Do you think that I should contact emmaren?

[luxken27]

The date on the notice is the 16th, though?

If you think it was DQed unfairly (and, considering it friggin WON last quarter, I'd say it was!), then yeah, I'd contact the author and/or challenge it.

[landofthekwt.livejournal.com]

I contacted emmaren and she had already appealed the DQ and had two people working on a rewrite.

[luxken27]

and I saw someone stepped up and seconded it. Hopefully the decision will be reversed :)

Yay! I'm so glad to hear that. I got beat out in seconding it. ^_^
