Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Forums

As it's available on Amazon, not a problem. Done.  

Now that I've read the synopsis, I'm seriously thinking of getting and reading it. It actually sounds pretty great. 

A fair number of the Prometheus books were already in the database. I've been chipping away at the rest here and there; I don't know whether anyone else has, too. We (volunteers) are finishing up the Aurealis Awards for SF, Fantasy, and Horror right now, so when those are done, I was going to try to finish the Prometheus as well. We're actually pretty close to having all of the Prometheus entries in.

Once the books are in, Administrator and his programming wizards then have to set up the special structure to display the nominees and winners the way the other Awards are currently displayed in list form and in reading statistics for individuals. He'd be in a better position to tell you how much of an undertaking that is (or isn't).

Any time a nominated work is part of a series, then all the books in the series have to be entered as well -- and if the author and/or publisher aren't already in the database, they also have to be added. So for every award that's been put into the WWEnd system, I'd estimate 3 to 4 times the actual number of entries on the list have to be added. It's a bit of an undertaking. In the past, Admin has solicited votes from WWEnd members on which awards to add next (you can find those threads using the forum Search function).

Prometheus is on the list of awards to add.  It's just a matter of time and like illegible says it can mean a whole lot of books and authors going in.

As for the votes on what award to do next we did that and Tiptree was the winner but then we found out it's a mix of novels and short stories and novellas etc. which we're not geared to handle.  The new code is in the works but got trumped by other updates for now.

What we've been doing in the mean time is putting in awards where we're already close to having all the books or where an Uber User, or group of Ubers, volunteered to do the data entry for an award they were interested in.  Generally we've been steering towards filling gaps in our awards and lists coverage and to offer more variety.  Aurealis fills a gap for our friends down under.

Not a lot of call for Prometheus so far but if we're close to having all the books it might move up the list.  Low hanging fruit is the tastiest.

If you're talking about the 1-5 stars, you should be able to go to the page for that book and just click on the place in the stars where you want your rating to be. I've changed several of my ratings in this way.
