Hi there!
Al has asked me to announce the creation of a new website that will be a centralized place for our contest. You can find it here. We will be running all the contest processes (reading & voting) from there from now on. Necessary links for submitting stories and filing votes are there. All the current set of stories are posted there, and the site will eventually be an archive of past stories (as soon as the authors give us permission to post them there.)
As I am the webmistress for the site, please bring all questions, broken links, errors or other issues – or suggestions on how to make the site better – to my attention. You can reach me here in LJ, or send an email to mbumpus_99@yahoo.com .
Enjoy!
Cuio mae.
Aeärwen

~ Voting will last 3 weeks - May 30th
~ Voters will be allowed to score four fictions in each category (General, Slash, and Het) with 15 points, 10 points, 5 points, and 1 point. 15 points is, of course, the story they consider the best, 10 points is the second best, 5 points is third and 1 point is something they think deserves an honorable mention.
~ NO FLAMES ALLOWED. Anyone who flames will be banned from voting. The mod has final say on whether it is a flame or not.
~ Voters don’t have to vote in all categories. If someone doesn’t like Slash or smut, they can vote in General without voting in the other two. Or if they only want to vote in two, they can do that as well. If a voter doesn’t feel like there aren’t 4 stories worth recognizing, they don’t have to use all their points either.
~ You cannot vote for yourself.
~ Before the end of the voting period, each person must send an email to the Vote Coordinator at alec_votecoordinator@yahoo.com that is a list of the story titles with the scores for each.
~ Within two days after voting is closed, the winners will be announced and banners given to the winners.

Hi there!
I know this LJ community isn't very active any longer, but I'm hoping to reach some folks who may not be members of the YahooGroup for this contest.
I am the new-ish admin for ALEC, and I'm also the webmistress for our website where all our activity now takes place. I'm in the process of archiving all the stories written for this contest and posted here to the LJ community.
However, I would like to have the permission of all the writers who have participated before I actually post their stories to an archive other than the one they originally wrote for. I have received quite a few quick emails with that permission, but there are a few folks from whom I have yet to hear. Please, if you are one of these people, drop me a line at mbumpus_99@yahoo.com and let me know if you mind my posting your stories to the new site. If you know one of these people, could you do me a favor and nudge them in the direction of getting in touch with me? Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!!
The people I need to hear from are:
Aiedailwing
Anwyn
Elanorfairbairn
Eöndur Nyarnaityar
F_ireworks
Ithilwen
Jay of Lasgalen
Lady Ann76
mithluin
Nancy_Brook
WendWriter
Zhie
If you were unaware of our new website, please come over and take a look at our new home. Maybe our new theme for the month will make your Muses wake up and take notice too - which would be wonderful.
Thank you for your kind attention.
Cuio mae.
Aeärwen - Admin, ALEC
