Pegasus Nominating Season

I am late to this particular party of posts, but I have been distracted for the last several days.

The results of the Pegasus Brainstorming Poll were posted a few days ago and it was nice to see Gretchen's and my name pop up in several places. I discover that you are never too old for ego-scanning and it is always interesting to see what songs have been mentioned as someone's particular favorite.

(I admit that I went to submit a brainstorming poll just shortly after it closed. Oops! My bad.)

So thank you to everyone who thought of us. If you're a member of the filk community, you almost certainly know where to go look for the nominating ballot, which is the next step in the process, so I will refrain from linking here. (Hint: look on the OVFF website. :) )

And while all that is going on, I think I'll write some more songs...

Website Drain Bamage

So I have been poking around the Filker website, because I wanted to upload the two new songs. Both of them are now up there. And after discussing it with Gretchen, I have now transposed "The Time Travel Cafe" from the key of C to the key of G, which moves it into a more comfortable section of my range. I love it when a conservative transposition works properly.

While poking around the website, I discovered that the alphabetical song list had two links to "The Candy Tree" and none to "Challenge". That is now fixed. I must have messed it up when editing the list at some point.

More disturbingly, I have discovered that "Time After Time", which I wrote in 2015 and have been carrying around in my songbook all of this time, was missing the last line of the second verse. This was true of the original WordPerfect document that I printed for my old paper songbook. It was also true of both the HTML and PDF versions posted on the website. I understand how I might have missed this on the website. The fact that I've been *singing* the song for years from that paper lyric sheet and hadn't noticed perplexes me.

It's a mystery.
