Thanks everyone.
Yes, Avempartha made it to the final round. I'm stunned. I honestly did not expect it to pass the first round. The names on the list of authors was huge, sixty-four names of giants and best sellers, and how little Avempartha managed to get on that list is incredible. And I know I owe it to you folks.
This has meant a lot to me. Thank you.

Congrats to you!
BTW, I found this on my opponent's blog at http://blog.catherynnemvalente.com/:
It's up against Avempartha, a book with a very strong fan base that has stomped all comers. If you were ever going to vote in this thing, now is the time. Please head over and vote for Palimpsest, and say why you liked it, as that makes your vote count double.
Casimira is gettin' our her brass knuckles, yo. I never thought we'd get past Rosemary and Rue, but we did. Votes are love--and thanks to everyone who's rallied so far!

I voted for the Webby - and thank you all for your votes in this contest!! I'm so surprised we're still hanging in there - I've watched the other author tweet and then the votes immediately go up - but our little band has made an impressive showing. Both Michael and I thank you for your support. A few days left so we're keeping our fingers crossed.

I'm overloaded on caffeine. Took a job freelancing for a local paper and had to be at a sheep farm way to early for my brain. I am not a farmer.
Okay, tangent over. I might tweet this, I have followers who have read the series, it may help.
I think it is kind of humorous that someone who has a "big time publisher" and is nominated for a Hugo is so concerned about this "little contest". Here are the tweets she has done...

catvalente: Palimpsest only 7 votes down in BSC Tournament. It's over on Monday--we can still do it! http://tinyurl.com/yyf5o3e
Again thanks for all the supprot - 8 hours left ;-)
Alot will depend on "how" the votes are counted as a "I vote" is just 1 point and if you say a bit why you get 2 points. All Palipsests look like 2 votes but there are quite a few 1 votes for Avempartha - it will be a photo finish !!



So I went to vote for Avempartha in the final 4 matchup, and the forum was closed. I did a little digging and found out that Avempartha has made THE FINALS vs. Palimpsest by Catherynne Valente. Go to the link below to post your reply in a timely fashion and propel Avempartha to victory!
