Don't look at me. Been doing that for a couple years now with the
fanfic archive. ;p

heh.... my only pressing request is easier voting forms. Next year, if
we held these during the summer (when there's no school keeping me way
too busy) I'd LOVE to help in making up a User Friendly form for both
Award sponsor and voter, as well as input the nominees.
...just tell me what server type you or Dawn has, and what form handler
works best with it. Yeah.. I found that making the form is only the
easy part. Getting the perl to cooperate with the server so it would
mail it out to the appointed people is what's hard. ;p
We can also make the rule, just for the sake of time "Whoever sents in
nominations without working URLS, will not be accepted." I think
that's a fair call to better correct that particular problem. *shrug*
But I can understand that the Awrds came later, and is a little rushed
to get done before next year rolls around.
