The Middle-Earth Fanfiction Awards 2005


I got the MEFA awards announcement as I was crawling off to bed last night. I have to say how pleased I was to see that reading the winners made me think of my friends list!

I hope I caught all of you - I have to admit the list is presented in a completely overwhelming fashion, and my logic skills were screaming "Oh no! Pop quiz!" So if I missed you, please point me to your story ---

About three days ago I finally figured out the dual reason why I can't navigate the MEFA site -

1) Since I had to join the Yahoo group to get the mailings, I was trying to log in with my yahoo password and name. Oh, how wrong that was!

2) Nothing at the site works correctly for me in Mozilla. But Chris asked me to read something to her, and when I gave up in frustration and opened the site in Safari -- Voila!!!

Did they take Drabbles in all the categories this year? wow.

so, thank you, *so* much to the people who said nice things to me, and next year I should be able to return the favor at last!!

You cleaned up as well, but I was especially pleased to see you take a first with The Sky Wept Diamonds! How many of us do I feel are connected through that story!

It's a total fluke! All I wrote last year (it was a rather hectic time) were a few drabbles -- and this year, the MEFAs happened to have a Drabble category. Go figure.

But it is a very nice ego-boo and I discovered some lovely stories on the awards list, so it's all good.

Uhh....*thwaps head* Damn. I completely forgot about this. annmarwalk nominated me, I cruised over there once, and then....off my radar like weather in Patagonia. Thanks for the heads up, and of course, congrats on your win! Much deserved, of course!

Thank you! You can take some of the credit too - if you hadn't sent me the Dave Carter... Melleth wouldn't have turned up like that. ;)

AU she maybe, but it feels like a real and strong connection to that aspect of the world - and those others she's met there.

I rounded up a few honorable mentions... not bad. ;-)
