Welcome, to the final ADRIC Awards of the millennium! These are the presenters for this year's awards, and this is the order of presentation, with a schedule (subject to technical changes due to personal conflicts); please direct all requests for changes to feetofclay@home.com...Thank you Shannon and Marcus, maybe what I should do is extend the awards to the weekend after all? Give people time to download the awards and present their single one? Of course, they really only need to worry about doing it _once_ -- _I'm_ on the timetable, moreso than they are...And a few more changes to the timetable -- I do hope TheoryDust will be OK with this? If not, I can juggle it again....OK, a drastic re-modeling of the sked, and I do hope this time it will be satisfactory for all...all presenters, that is...And yet another re-juggling -- this good? Ohhh, you can tell these awards have been juggled -- just noticed the dates were all fouled up...BTW, everyone should remember that after their presentation, they can just join/start the after-awards *party*, so they aren't involved beyond a single post, unless they wish to be (awards acceptance, etc.) -- really, I'm the only one going crazy, here...;-)...I shall begin mailing out the winners' names (along with runners-up and, in most cases, honourable mentions) this evening (PDT).... [Note: Presentations begin May 8th. All times given are Pacific Daylight Time, or -0700 GMT.] RADW Rookie of the year (For the person who has only begun posting within '99) [Presenter: Charles Daniels]Monday, 05.08.00, 1am (It would probably be a good idea for Charles to e-mail his presentation to Imran, so he'll have a chance to see it before his own presentation) Monomania award for most single-minded poster [Presenter: Imran Inayat]Monday, 05.08.00, 2:30am (followed by a pause for sleep) (Is it vital that you present it at this specific time, or can you do it a bit later than this?)

Best Comedy Short Fiction (Story of one post) [Presenter: Paul Gadzikowski]Monday, 05.08.00, 8pm I moved this back just in case midnight is too late for you...but be prepared for a bit of a lag -- dunno how quickly I may expect William's presentation, and the winner may accept in verbose fashion, and I _do_ wish to maintain continuity wherever possible in such cases.
