Re: Nairaland Literature Awards Of The Year. by kingphilip(m): 2:26pm On Oct 17, 2014 |
my questions are these: 1. are incomplete stories worthy of nomination? 2. where are the panel of judges 1 Like |
Re: Nairaland Literature Awards Of The Year. by texanomaly(f): 2:54pm On Oct 17, 2014 |
I can help count votes. I don't have any stories, so there's no conflict. ![]() |
Re: Nairaland Literature Awards Of The Year. by Nobody: 2:57pm On Oct 17, 2014 |
kingphilip:I can only invite people to be the panel of judges. I am seeing Texanomaly down there... And I am seeing you sir... So can I beg the two of you to be involved in this... Yes, Uncompleted story can be nominated so far they meet the requirement |
Re: Nairaland Literature Awards Of The Year. by Nobody: 2:59pm On Oct 17, 2014 |
texanomaly:Hmm... My deep has called unto her deep... Thank you very much... Now we have 1. Divepen 2. Texanomaly 3. ![]() |
Re: Nairaland Literature Awards Of The Year. by kingphilip(m): 4:22pm On Oct 17, 2014 |
Divepen:you've got a Pm |
Re: Nairaland Literature Awards Of The Year. by texanomaly(f): 6:18pm On Oct 17, 2014 |
Divepen: I just want to count votes. I don't really want to be on the judging panel. |
Re: Nairaland Literature Awards Of The Year. by Emzypaz(m): 6:22pm On Oct 17, 2014 |
This is a nice concept by you Divepen and a nice call by d9ty7. But I have some reservations; 1. Just like we did last year. A voter can nominate a writer in every genre listed. As in, I can vote 14 times since we have 14 genres. It is now left for me to nominate in the right genre. 2. Like we had it last year. A story could be nominated in more than one genre and become eventuall winner. Like Sir Kayemjay's story was nominated in the crime, action and thriller. And it won in all of them. Is it possible this year too. 3. The panel of judges. I think they shouldn't be handpicked. We need to know their qualifications, are they not attached to the writers in question. Someone like me is a protegee of d9ty7, truth be told, I'll want to make sure he emerge victorious. Even though, everyone may not be like me. 4. The genres are way too much. Lets try and reduce them to a considerable amount, maybe 10. Then we include the reader's award. 5. Reducing the number of genres automatically brings about uniformity. Everyone(the judges) is carried along and voting result will be released to time. The above are just my two cents. They should not be used against me. The best you can do is to give your own thoughts. |

texanomaly:i thought Judge Panel's job is just to count votes(in this place)... Or what is it? |
Re: Nairaland Literature Awards Of The Year. by Nobody: 6:52pm On Oct 17, 2014 |
Emzypaz:Good observation sir... 1. Will be corrected... 2.It is possible 3.I thougt they are to just count votes, so how will they be Bias? 4.I will see to that. 5.ok... |
Re: Nairaland Literature Awards Of The Year. by texanomaly(f): 6:56pm On Oct 17, 2014 |
Divepen: Lol...in that case...OK. ![]() |
Re: Nairaland Literature Awards Of The Year. by texanomaly(f): 7:03pm On Oct 17, 2014 |
Divepen: Perhaps the problem is the tittle. You want vote counters, not judges. It is more accounting not judging. |
Re: Nairaland Literature Awards Of The Year. by Nobody: 7:19pm On Oct 17, 2014 |
texanomaly:ok,,,i will change it |
Re: Nairaland Literature Awards Of The Year. by Emzypaz(m): 8:02pm On Oct 17, 2014 |
@Divepen: concerning the judges or those in charge of the vote counting. I think I just got it. |
Re: Nairaland Literature Awards Of The Year. by LarrySun(m): 8:15pm On Oct 17, 2014 |
Detective/Mystery...that's the genre I write, and it's not included. 1 Like |
Re: Nairaland Literature Awards Of The Year. by manuel80(m): 8:37pm On Oct 17, 2014 |
Yours should be under action,crime or thriller |
Re: Nairaland Literature Awards Of The Year. by LarrySun(m): 8:51pm On Oct 17, 2014 |
manuel80:A detective story has its own genre. Why should it come under some other genres? Is it because not many people write murder mysteries? ![]() Sherlock Holmes' stories are detective/mystery The Bourne Series are actions, crimes and thrillers There's a difference. ![]() |
