Can someone please address this? (Please?)

Also, Maransreth, that list of "things to do" is almost exactly what I'd posted in the moderators forum. There might be one more "moving piece" but I'll burn that bridge when I get to it.

There are, however, 359 e-mails on that list. So my plan was to identify how many "random numbers" I needed and e-mail just those individuals. I'll see about getting any non-responders once I have a more manageable list.

Also, keep a list of screen-name/prize if possible for the community to congratulate people....

Woohoo! Alsih2o came through with tons of stuff. Here we go...and I'll start a companion thread shortly...

I sent an e-mail to Piratecat a while back offering help if he needs a physical presence, since I am not too far from his home (I was under the impression he had some of the items that had to be physically delivered). While I have not heard back from him, that offer still stands - although with my next class starting on Monday, my time is going to be more limited.

Thanks, Thornir, I appreciate the offer!

As of now, I've started sending out e-mails to the first few of the members that donated cash and the people donating prizes. I need to break for lunch, but will get back to it yet this afternoon.

Thanks for doing this Dinkeldog. It may take a while, it sounds like there's a lot of info, but at least you're doing something and keeping us informed.

Dink-I was going to send the books I donated to PC for distribution, should I hold off on that, or send them to you now? Or should I still send them to PC?

Hold off for just a second--that's the remaining bump that I haven't quite solved yet. I'm still a full-time student (read: has no job), and mailing out a bunch of different things would put way too much of a strain on my personal finances. I imagine that will vary by individual prize donor--so we can talk about that privately over e-mail.

For publishers/prize donors and prize recipients alike:

Please note that to a large extent you're getting basically a form letter. Good grief, this is big. I apologize up front if it seems like the initial information gathering is in this rough form. It's a big thing, and I'm doing my best to sort through the concentrated chaos.

It's going to be slow going while I sort through some of the initial information gathering stuff, but I look forward to actually getting to talk to people that otherwise I'm much to shy to approach.

Drop me a line at rjmiller-at-gmail-dot-com and we can figure things out.
