Let's make sure Gnod knows all of us

[Rowena]

There's a new author-sorting service available to readers, and it seems obvious to me that the more authors names in the system (that "Gnod" knows) the better the service to readers and authors alike.

http://www.gnooks.com/vote.php

So, for the benefit of all, please nominate reciprocally. The more nominations any author receives, the better.

You can nominate yourself. Respond to this topic, and I will nominate you.

Rowena Cherry (futuristic romance)

[Dee]

Hey Rowena,

I just voted "yes" for you and will add some of our group members as well :]

[Victoria]

Hi Rowena,
I voted "yes" for you too. I'd really appreciate if people voted "Yes" for me - Victoria Twead and I'll return the compliment.

Thanks,

Victoria

[Jaimey]

I voted for Victoria and Dee and myself (Jaimey Grant). When I entered Rowena Cherry, it said, "Gnod already knows Rowena Cherry". I tried twice and it said the same thing both times.

So I guess that means you're already in, Rowena. :o)

[Rowena]

Voted for Dee Marie, Jaimey Grant, Victoria Twead. Your names are on the board at the moment.

Hi Jaimey,
Thanks, and I've voted for you now. Dee, what is your complete name so I can vote for you?

Thanks Rowena, and Dee, I've voted for you now.

Victoria Twead

[Gina]

I've voted for myself and everyone else who's posted so far. :o)

Any idea how many votes you have to get before Gnod 'knows' you?

By the way, my full name's Gina Collia-Suzuki... quite a mouthful.

[Victoria]

Hi Gina, thanks for that, but I don't know your author name. Tell me and I'll vote for you too.

[Gina]

It's Gina Collia-Suzuki

I like your little Twitter birdie :o)

[Victoria]

Hi Gina,

Right, off to vote for you now. Does anyone want to tag each other on Amazon while we are at it?

My book has only been out for a week and badly needs tagging. It's 'Chickens, Mules and Two Old Fools' by Victoria Twead. Compliment reciprocated of course!

Glad you like the birdie!

[Jaimey]

Gotcha, Gina. :o)

It is a cute twitter birdie.

[Victoria]

Voted for you, Gina. :)

[S.]

I voted for all of you that I saw on the first page--but I can't get it to show me more than ten names. What's up with that?

S. Michele Smith is my author name if you can find me there. lol

Michele

[Gina]

Jaimey, Victoria and Michele, thank you for voting! :o)

Michele, you can register a vote by typing the author's name into the 'Suggest a new Writer' box... it works the same as clicking on the 'yes' button next to an author's name. I have voted for you :o)

I gotcha, Michele. If you type in the names you don't see, it will add your vote.

~Jaimey

[S.]

Ah, great! Thanks. Now to go type in names.

Michele

[Victoria]

Hi Michele,

Thanks, and your name is voted for now.

Victoria Twead

[Gina]

I've voted for you, Elizabeth. :o)

[Jaimey]

I gave you a vote, Elizabeth. :o)

Did anyone else happen to notice that Gina, Dee, Victoria and I each have a vote against us now? It looks like someone just went through and voted against all the ones showing.

Thank you for your votes Gina, Dee, Victoria, Elizabeth, Rowena and Michele! :o)

[Gina]

Oh my, what a pillock... excuse my French. Somebody's thinking (s)he's a clever little sausage tonight. (We need a 'roll eyes' smilie)

[Jaimey]

Yes, Gina. We do.

Need eye-rolling. Should have specified.

For a second there, I thought maybe my smearer had migrated over from Amazon. LOL

...maybe (s)he has...

[Victoria]

Elizabeth, you have my vote now.

Also, I've discovered if you let some time elapse, (not sure how long, 24hrs?) you can register votes again. So I've voted for the ones on the first screen again. How many votes do we need before it 'knows' us?

Victoria

[Rowena]

Elizabeth, (and Dee, Gina, Victoria)

Thanks for making sure Gnod knows Rowena Cherry. I think that once "Gnod Knows ..." the author is considered verified. I believe I had 15 affirmative votes before I vanished from the sorting screen.

Sympathies over the pillock. Just because an ignorant person has never heard of you does not mean that you are not what you say you are!

[Gina]

I appear to currently have 32 votes... it suddenly shot up from 7. But I am still on the board. There must be something squiffy going on.

[Jaimey]

Definitely squiffy...

[Gina]

I have the urge to sing that song 'If you don't know me by now...'

Perhaps I'm not a writer. I wanted to be an archaeologist.

[S.]

I like that word, squiffy. lol So, the more names I can track on here and add in as authors--who actually write and not just read--the more intelligent gnod becomes. Then shall we commence saying "gnod is in heaven and all is write with the world..."? ;-)

[Jaimey]

Gina, I can totally see you as a vampire hunter. Maybe an archeologist. Maybe the love child of Lara Croft and Van Helsing. :o)

[Gina]

Ooh, I'm liking the way your mind works, Jaimey. I need a whip.

[Jaimey]

I could write a book about you, Gina. ;o)

[Gina]

I hope it's not a murder mystery... and I'm the victim. ;o)

I've got 48 votes now, and I'm still not 'known'. I'm losing my sense of self here.

[Brett]

Great idea. Can someone nominate me ? http://www.helptalking.com/you-can-be...

Is there anyone that needs me to nominate them? brett

[Brett]

Thanks! You are in!

[Gina]

I've voted for you, Brett. I could still do with a vote - Gina Collia-Suzuki. 52 and still going.

[Jaimey]

Oh, Gina. I know you're real...just like faeries and unicorns. :oD

Hi Rowena. Gnod only knows I'm new to all of this, but would a comprehensive contributor list like the one Dee created for twitter addy's be helpful here?

Perhaps a singer? :) I'm freaking out reading through all of this. Gnod? I'm barely in the 'dawning awareness' stage in my twitter ed, now I need to figure out what in Heaven's name Gnod needs to know about me to determine if I should press on with my pen, ...or gear up to join you at the pyramids?

Great! Now I need to figure out how to get a bird, too! :)

Hi Victoria,
I'm figuring out the Amazon-tagging game now and will get on board soon. Your book sounds fun. Just so you know, I refrained from copying your cute chickeny-looking twitter bird. I felt it would be fowl of me. :)

[Rowena]

Just voted for Brett Williams and Elizabeth Blake. Thanks Elizabeth for giving both of your full names.

It seems to me that Gina and Charlotte Boyett-Compo are on the bubble, and we just need to add some more nominees to put them to bed.

Best wishes,
Rowena Cherry

[Gina]

I would very much like to go to bed... I need the rest. I shall go and nominate more authors forthwith.

[Gina]

I have voted for both 'R. William Ayres' and 'Bruce Alan Johnson'. :o)

[Gina]

Indeed... I was beginning to think I wasn't me at all for a moment there.
