Hi Katriona,

So many rules, so little time. Never mind, then.

Who is Victor Gollancz, and how does he fit into the George Orwell story?

I hope you don’t mind me posting that link on your site. Will it stay?

She had recently replied to an email I had sent her . . .

Hi Steve,

Thank you for your e-mail and thanks again for your entry to this years prize.

These are the rules regarding the Special Prize as detailed on our website at http://theorwellprize.co.uk/the-orwell-prize/how-to-enter/rules/:
51. There are no submissions for the Special Prize, unless the judges decide to announce at the Prize launch that they are inviting submissions for a Special Prize around a named subject or medium.
52. The award of a Special Prize is entirely at the discretion of the judges – they do not have to award a Special Prize if they do not wish to do so.

I’m sure you can appreciate that this is a busy time for us so I apologise for my delayed response to your first email.

Very best,

Katriona Lewis | Administrator, The Orwell Prize

Hi Katriona,

I hope all is well with you.

I’m not sure if you got my email on 3/29.12. Maybe it got caught in the server? It’s been a while, so I thought I would drop you another note.

amanfromMars and I posted a message that same day on the “about” page http://theorwellprize.co.uk/the-orwell-prize/about-the-prize/. Also, that same day, I sent a message to Gaby Hinsliff, last year’s blog judge, because I did not want to influence the current judges . . . but she Winston Smithed my comment in about 5 minutes!

How odd?

Would you be kind enough to speak to the judges and see if they are considering our site for the Special Prize and get back to me?

The other day, I had a bit of a giggle. I had originally self-nominated under the book award, then Gavin Freeguard had me instead apply under the blog award . . . but in hindsight, we could have also self-nominated under the journalism award, since our site is a mixture of all 3!

You see, our site operates outside the system and has no boundaries . . . this enables us to get right to the heart of a matter, including current issues.

Oh, by the way, I have been researching George Orwell and found an interesting character named Victor Gollancz. Have you ever heard of him?

I post everything on ARG MetaPhoria . . . including this email.

Have a great day and I hope to hear from you soon!

If I don’t hear back soon, I’ll have to take that same road to Wigan Pier . . . and a lot has changed since 1937.
