I just wanted to post a quick reminder that voting for the 2009 MEFAs
will close on December 31, just a month away.
If you have already started voting: please remember that you need to
edit any of your already-entered votes by that same date. Draft reviews
must be changed over to hidden or final status or they won't be counted;
hidden reviews will automatically be displayed once voting closes, so
you need to change them to draft if you don't want this to happen.
If you haven't started voting, we'd love to have as many participants as
we can get. If you're already a member, log in to our voting website at
www.mefawards.net/MEFA2009/ and start reviewing. If you'd like to be a
member but aren't you can sign up by joining this yahoo group. We'll
then give you a voting account at the voting website. (This is done
manually, so it may take a day or two.)
If you've forgotten your password, you can have it mailed to you using
the link at the voting website (check your spam folder!). If you need
any other help signing up or logging in, just email us at mefasupport at
mefawards dot net.
There's still time to get involved and vote for some of your favorite
stories, but the end of the awards is approaching fast.
Also, please keep in mind that the MEFA day is based on GMT. That means
you must enter all votes by 11:59 PM, GMT on December 31. For reference,
that's Dec. 31, 7 PM in US Eastern timezone.

Admin - Stories featuring Dwarves, Elves, Hobbits, Men, Other Beings Posted by Tanaqui December 07, 2009 - 5:51:47 Topic ID# 10259Hey guys,
Continuing with our (semi-regular) educational posts, this week I would
like to draw your attention to some of the types of stories you can vote
for in this year's awards.
When a story is nominated, the author describes it as fitting into three
groups that will eventually become the main categories. These include
the race of the characters involved, the genre, and the time period in
which it is set. Authors rank their preference for how they'd like their
story categorized, and MEFA volunteers put the story into one of these
three category choices.
But perhaps you want to find all the stories involving a particular
race, such as Hobbits, not just those competing in the main category for
that race? Or all stories relating to a particular time period or of a
particular genre, even if they're competing in another category. Our
website lets you do that:
1. Log in to www.mefawards.net/MEFA2009/
2. Click the Stories link at the top of the page.
3. Click the link to show the filter (if it isn't already showing).
4. Click the Clear All Filters button to clear out anything you had
searched on before.
5. Select the race, time period, or genre you would like to see from the
Genre, Race, Time menu.
6. Click the Display selected nominations button.
This will show you all the stories whose authors selected that category
as any one of their three choices. It's a good way to find nearly all of
the stories involving a certain character group, set in a certain time
period, or of the same genre. While I encourage everyone to broaden
their reading habits for the MEFAs, there's also nothing wrong with
starting with the types of stories you find most appealing. Or sometimes
you are simply in the mood for a certain type of story. These filters
can help you in situations like that.
This week, we're listing stories for a diverse range of Races in
Middle-Earth -- Dwarves, Elves, Hobbits, Men, Other Beings and Villains
-- as well as those stories in Cross-Cultural where the culture clashis
part of the tale.

MEFA Admin Team
Continuing with our (semi-regular) educational posts, this week I would
like to draw your attention to some of the types of stories you can vote
for in this year's awards.
When a story is nominated, the author describes it as fitting into three
groups that will eventually become the main categories. These include
the race of the characters involved, the genre, and the time period in
which it is set. Authors rank their preference for how they'd like their
story categorized, and MEFA volunteers put the story into one of these
three category choices.
But perhaps you want to find all the stories involving a particular
race, such as Hobbits, not just those competing in the main category for
that race? Or all stories relating to a particular time period or of a
particular genre, even if they're competing in another category. Our
website lets you do that:
1. Log in to www.mefawards.net/MEFA2009/
2. Click the Stories link at the top of the page.
3. Click the link to show the filter (if it isn't already showing).
4. Click the Clear All Filters button to clear out anything you had
searched on before.
5. Select the race, time period, or genre you would like to see from the
Genre, Race, Time menu.
6. Click the Display selected nominations button.
This will show you all the stories whose authors selected that category
as any one of their three choices. It's a good way to find nearly all of
the stories involving a certain character group, set in a certain time
period, or of the same genre. While I encourage everyone to broaden
their reading habits for the MEFAs, there's also nothing wrong with
starting with the types of stories you find most appealing. Or sometimes
you are simply in the mood for a certain type of story. These filters
can help you in situations like that.
This week, we're listing stories for a diverse range of Races in
Middle-Earth -- Dwarves, Elves, Hobbits, Men, Other Beings and Villains
-- as well as those stories in Cross-Cultural where the culture clashis
part of the tale.

Admin – Story focus on Drama, Character Study and Non-Fiction Posted by Tanaqui December 10, 2009 - 3:54:25 Topic ID# 10260Hey guys,
Continuing with our (semi-regular) educational posts, today I would like
to draw your attention to some of the types of stories you can vote for
in this year's awards.
When a story is nominated, the author describes it as fitting into three
groups that will eventually become the main categories. These include
the race of the characters involved, the genre, and the time period in
which it is set. Authors rank their preference for how they'd like their
story categorized, and MEFA volunteers put the story into one of these
three category choices.
But perhaps you want to find all the stories involving a particular
genre, such as Drama, not just those competing in the main category for
that race? Or all stories relating to a particular time period or a
particular race, even if they're competing in another category. Our
website lets you do that:
1. Log in to www.mefawards.net/MEFA2009/
2. Click the Stories link at the top of the page.
3. Click the link to show the filter (if it isn't already showing).
4. Click the Clear All Filters button to clear out anything you had
searched on before.
5. Select the race, time period, or genre you would like to see from the
Genre, Race, Time menu.
6. Click the Display selected nominations button.
This will show you all the stories whose authors selected that category
as any one of their three choices. It's a good way to find nearly all of
the stories involving a certain character group, set in a certain time
period, or of the same genre. While I encourage everyone to broaden
their reading habits for the MEFAs, there's also nothing wrong with
starting with the types of stories you find most appealing. Or sometimes
you are simply in the mood for a certain type of story. These filters
can help you in situations like that.
This week, we're listing stories for various kinds of genres -- Drama,
Character Study and Non-Fiction. Character Study is a new category this
year that has attracted a lot of entries and is a great place to find
stories that delve into motivations, while Non-Fiction is home to
thoughtful essays about Tolkien's world.

Tanaqui
MEFA Admin Team
Continuing with our (semi-regular) educational posts, today I would like
to draw your attention to some of the types of stories you can vote for
in this year's awards.
When a story is nominated, the author describes it as fitting into three
groups that will eventually become the main categories. These include
the race of the characters involved, the genre, and the time period in
which it is set. Authors rank their preference for how they'd like their
story categorized, and MEFA volunteers put the story into one of these
three category choices.
But perhaps you want to find all the stories involving a particular
genre, such as Drama, not just those competing in the main category for
that race? Or all stories relating to a particular time period or a
particular race, even if they're competing in another category. Our
website lets you do that:
1. Log in to www.mefawards.net/MEFA2009/
2. Click the Stories link at the top of the page.
3. Click the link to show the filter (if it isn't already showing).
4. Click the Clear All Filters button to clear out anything you had
searched on before.
5. Select the race, time period, or genre you would like to see from the
Genre, Race, Time menu.
6. Click the Display selected nominations button.
This will show you all the stories whose authors selected that category
as any one of their three choices. It's a good way to find nearly all of
the stories involving a certain character group, set in a certain time
period, or of the same genre. While I encourage everyone to broaden
their reading habits for the MEFAs, there's also nothing wrong with
starting with the types of stories you find most appealing. Or sometimes
you are simply in the mood for a certain type of story. These filters
can help you in situations like that.
This week, we're listing stories for various kinds of genres -- Drama,
Character Study and Non-Fiction. Character Study is a new category this
year that has attracted a lot of entries and is a great place to find
stories that delve into motivations, while Non-Fiction is home to
thoughtful essays about Tolkien's world.

ADMIN: Banners – where to get them and a call for artists/customiz Posted by Tanaqui December 13, 2009 - 3:57:54 Topic ID# 10261Hey guys,
As we approach the end of the 2009 MEFAs, I wanted to talk about the
different banners you can use as a participant in the MEFAs and where to
get them.
I also want to appeal to any artists out there who would like to add to
our stock of banners, and who may be willing to customize banners for
winners during January.
Banner Makers and Customizers
-----------------------------
First of all, I'd like to thank all the volunteers who helped bring you
the wonderful selection of MEFA banners and buttons we have available so
far this year. Banners were created by Cactuskim, Elea24, Elena Tiriel,
Elleth, Nath, Nieriel Raina, red lasbelin and Viv. There work was
coordinated by Nieriel Raina. A big thank you to all of them for
allowing us to have such a great choice of banners.
If anyone would like to create more banners, please let us know by
emailing us at mefasupport at mefawards dot net. This is so we can
credit you on our website, and so we have your email address so we can
get in touch if need be. Banners uploaded before we are contacted by the
banner-maker may be deleted.
The banner makers listed above are welcome to upload Winners' versions
of banners they've already created, as well as any new banners, to the
photobucket album at http://www.photobucket.com/mefa09w, password: aelfwine
We're also looking for volunteers to customize Winners' banners: as you
may notice the banners in the photobucket albums currently just say MEFA
or Middle-earth Fanfiction Awards and the year. This is where you can
help. When an author wins, if they'd like their banner customized and
aren't able to do it themselves, they will be asked to comment to a post
at our mefas livejournal with what banner they'd like to use. A
volunteer will customize the banner for them. We could always use more
volunteers - that means less work for everyone involved. Basically you
would be adding the place and category/subcategory to banners and
getting them out to grateful authors. If this sounds like something
you'd like to be involved in, please email us at mefasupport at
mefawards dot net and we'll send you more information.
Banners for participants
------------------------
Now, on to the banners! There are three kinds:
---Nominee Banners can be used by any nominated author and can be
displayed on any story nominated in this year's awards. You're welcome
to use as many different banners as you have stories nominated we hope
that you can find a banner that matches your story from the selection
we've provided.
---Reviewer Banners can be downloaded and can be displayed by any
reviewer who set a Review Target (aka MEFA Junkie target) and reached
it. Again, we have a wide range of Review Banners, so we hope you can
find one you like. The list of reviewers who have achieved MEFA Junkie
status by reaching their target number of reviews can be seen at
http://www.mefawards.net/MEFA2009/index.php?page=FAQjunkie#jun_7
---Story Winner Banners can be used by authors whose stories win an
award (first, second or third place or honorable mention) in this year's
MEFA awards and can be displayed on the winning story. Once the results
of this year's awards have been announced on 3 January, winning authors
will be able to get the Story Winner Banner of their choice customized
with the name of the award they have won. (We'll provide more details
about this after 3 January.) We also hope to have a set of banners that
already include the subcategory and place that you can use immediately.
(Oh, there's also a fourth kind of banner: for MEFA Volunteers. If
you're one of this year's Volunteers and you haven't yet got a Volunteer
banner and would like one, please email us at mefasupport at mefawards
dot net and we'll help you sort out getting one.)
All of this year's banners can be seen at the MEFA photobucket sites:
* banners for nominees: http://www.photobucket.com/mefa09n, password:
celebrimbor
* banners for reviewers: http://www.photobucket.com/mefa09r, password:
daeron
* banners for story winners: http://www.photobucket.com/mefa09w,
password: aelfwine
You may download the banners or use them from the photobucket pages,
whichever you prefer.
There's more information in our Banners FAQ at
http://www.mefawards.net/MEFA2009/index.php?page=FAQbanners but I think
that covers just about everything that needs to be said about banners
for now. Remember that there's just over two weeks of reviewing time
left in this year's awards, so why not reward a good story with a vote
and a review today?
Happy Reviewing!

---Story Winner Banners can be used by authors whose stories win an
award (first, second or third place or honorable mention) in this year's
MEFA awards and can be displayed on the winning story. Once the results
of this year's awards have been announced on 3 January, winning authors
will be able to get the Story Winner Banner of their choice customized
with the name of the award they have won. (We'll provide more details
about this after 3 January.) We also hope to have a set of banners that
already include the subcategory and place that you can use immediately.
(Oh, there's also a fourth kind of banner: for MEFA Volunteers. If
you're one of this year's Volunteers and you haven't yet got a Volunteer
banner and would like one, please email us at mefasupport at mefawards
dot net and we'll help you sort out getting one.)
All of this year's banners can be seen at the MEFA photobucket sites:
* banners for nominees: http://www.photobucket.com/mefa09n, password:
celebrimbor
* banners for reviewers: http://www.photobucket.com/mefa09r, password:
daeron
* banners for story winners: http://www.photobucket.com/mefa09w,
password: aelfwine
You may download the banners or use them from the photobucket pages,
whichever you prefer.
There's more information in our Banners FAQ at
http://www.mefawards.net/MEFA2009/index.php?page=FAQbanners but I think
that covers just about everything that needs to be said about banners
for now. Remember that there's just over two weeks of reviewing time
left in this year's awards, so why not reward a good story with a vote
and a review today?
Happy Reviewing!

OK, there *is* one review for Story #174, "The Elendilmir" by
pandemonium_213. But I can't seem to find it among the nominations. I did
a search by author and it does not show up on the list of her stories. I
even checked my skip list to see if I had accidentally marked it "skip"
instead of "wish" (I *did* do that to a couple of stories I'd planned to
read), but I didn't see it there, either.
Any idea of where the story has gone?

Dreamflower, when I click on "Display withdrawn stories," it looks like it
was withdrawn this year. I seem to recall from talking with Pandemonium that
she didn't want it to compete until it was finished.

Hi Dreamflower,
Dawn is correct, pandemonium_213 declined the nomination, but it looks like
there is a bug that allows the nominator's review to still show up.
Sorry for the confusion!

Aha! I guess I thought that since the review was still there the story was
still in competition! It did not occur to me it might have been withdrawn.
Okey-doke! Thanks, I was puzzled!

Eeep! Yes, as flattered as I was that The Elendilmir was nominated, I withdrew it because I'd like to complete the story; it's quite likely I will go back and edit it upon completion. It's on the Silmarillion Writers' Guild as a WIP if you're interested. Hope to get it wrapped up if time allows by summer.
Thanks, Dawn for pointing that out, and thanks muchly to her Tookishness for fixing the glitch.

Admin – Story focus on Ficlets and Drabbles Posted by Tanaqui December 20, 2009 - 4:28:13 Topic ID# 10269Hey guys,
With just ten days or so left to vote in the 2009 MEFAs, we're
dedicating the last of our story focuses to two types of stories that
there's still enough time to read and vote for in this year's awards:
stories that all are under 1000 words each.
These stories fall into two groups. The various Drabble subcategories in
each main category are for pieces that are exactly 100 words, or for
series where each part is exactly 100 words. We also have a new category
this year called Ficlets which contains stories that are up to 1,000
words long but not also a true drabble. A Ficlet series can be any
number of pieces, each no more than 1,000 words, which are not all true
drabbles.

Re: Admin – Story focus on Ficlets and Drabbles Posted by Tanaqui December 20, 2009 - 9:24:49 Topic ID# 10269Hi guys
Someone's alerted me that I wasn't very clear in my previous post that
the list of "Ficlets" was based on those stories where the author chose
"Genres: Ficlets" as one of their three category choices. (That's just
like, for instance, when we listed "Genres: Non-Fiction" a couple of
weeks back).
There are, of course, lots of other ficlet-length stories competing
where the author didn't select "Genres: Ficlets" as one of their three
category choices. You can find all of those by using the "Length"
dropdown in the story filter.
Sorry for any confusion and happy reading!

ADMIN – How awards are made, and some final reminders about review Posted by Tanaqui December 27, 2009 - 3:40:18 Topic ID# 9577Hey guys,
Here is your weekly admin post the last for this year's MEFAs! That's
because *** VOTING ENDS AT 11:59 PM GMT ON THURSDAY 31 DECEMBER*** so
make sure you get your votes done in plenty of time!
This week, I'm going to talk about how your votes decide which pieces
win which awards.
* The first step is that each story is awarded points based on the
number of characters in your review. You can find a table showing the
number of characters needed for each points score at the "How are votes
scored?" FAQ at
http://www.mefawards.net/MEFA2009/index.php?page=FAQvoting#vot_11. Only
certain characters count towards the total - you can find a list of
which ones count in the same FAQ.
You'll see the actual number of characters that count (according to the
site), and the points that will be awarded, near the top of the page
when you preview your review.
* The second step involves adding together all the points awarded to
each story. The story in each subcategory that earns the most points
gets first place, second highest gets second place, and third highest
gets third place.
* If two pieces have the same number of points, the story which has the
greater number of reviews meaning more people voted for it is placed
above the story with fewer reviews. If each story received the same
number of reviews, we add together the number of counted characters in
all the reviews for each story, and the story which has received the
most number of characters overall is placed higher. If there's still no
way to break the tie, they will receive the same award. You can find out
more about how ties are broken in the FAQ at
http://www.mefawards.net/MEFA2009/index.php?page=FAQvoting#vot_12.
* As well as first, second or third places in a subcategory, stories may
also be awarded an "Honorable Mention". This recognizes that some
categories are larger or more competitive than others. Any story that
receives more than the number of points received on average by ALL
stories competing in this year's awards is given an Honorable Mention.
In addition, any story that ties on points with the third-placed story
in the same subcategory (but which is placed lower as a result of using
number of reviews or characters to break the tie) will be awarded an
Honorable Mention. There's more about how Honorable Mentions are awarded
in the FAQ at
http://www.mefawards.net/MEFA2009/index.php?page=FAQvoting#vot_11.
***IMPORTANT***
Remember that stories only receive points for FINAL or HIDDEN reviews.
Draft reviews will not be counted. Make sure you CONVERT ALL DRAFT
REVIEWS to FINAL or HIDDEN by the end of Voting if you want them to count.
And a final reminder...
*** VOTING ENDS AT 11:59 PM GMT ON THURSDAY 31 DECEMBER*** (The MEFA
server runs on GMT, and you can find out what time it is on "server
time" by looking at the time stamp at the bottom of each page on the
MEFA site.)
Happy (Last-Minute) Reviewing!
Tanaqui
The MEFA Admin Team
PS: Apologies for all the "shouting" but I wanted to make sure the
really important information was clear!

Hey guys,
As you may have noticed, voting for the 2009 MEFAs ended a little while
ago. As always, the results continue to be impressive, with over 5,800
reviews for 742 stories! It's an incredible amount of effort by so many
people for so much of the year, and it makes me very happy to know how
much fannish love gets shared through these awards and how much pleasure
authors received from the reviews they get.
This post rounds up a some topics where a few words might be helpful
although, like Bilbo, "I shall not keep you long." (Although, unlike
Bilbo, I'm not planning to disappear in dramatic fashion.)
RESULTS
The authors who placed or received an honorable mention will be informed
of their results by private email to the address registered at our
website. You may want to check your spam mail box; the emails will come
from mefasupportATgmailDOTcom.
Full results will be available on the voting website at just after
midnight on Monday 4th January, and will also be posted here soon after
that.
REVIEWS
Annmarwalk will continue posting reviews in several batches a day at the
mefas LJ so that the many reviews submitted near the end of the awards
are all posted. Do read them if you're interested, because it's always
fun to see what other people thought of a story.
You can also view all of the reviews at the voting website,
http://www.mefawards.net/MEFA2009/. Just log in and click "Reviews" at
the top of the site.
BANNERS
We would like to give winning authors a banner of their choice. You can
find the banners at our photobucket account at
http://www.photobucket.com/mefa09w, password: aelfwine.
This year, we have two kinds of banners
1) We have a set of pre-made banners for each place (First, Second,
Third and Honorable Mention) in each subcategory (such as Times: Post
Ring War and Beyond: General). You can use these immediately, either by
linking directly to the banner at the MEFA photobucket or by downloading
the banner and then uploading it to your usual image hosting site. Use
the [cat] tags listed down the left hand side of the page to help you
find the banners for each subcategory.
2) We have general winners banners that have space to be customized with
the place and subcategory for your story. Use the character [ch], format
[fm], miscellaneous [ms], place [pl], race [rc] and times [tp] tags to
find banners that suit your story, or browse all of a particular
artist's banners by using the [ar] tag.
Authors may download and customize banners themselves (or ask a friend
to do so!) or may ask one of the volunteers who've kindly agreed to help
to customize it for them. To make a request to have a banner customized,
please go to the post at the mefas lj at
http://community.livejournal.com/mefas/174466.html and follow the
directions in the post. Please follow the directions *exactly*, in order
to make the task as easy as possible for our customizers, who are very
generously providing their time to help with this part of the awards.
Some of our artists are also willing to customize the nomination banners
they made to create winners bannerssee the post at the mefas lj for
details of which artists are making this offer and where you can find
their banners.
By the way, we could always do with more customizers to share the load
if anyone else would like to volunteer!
SUGGESTIONS FOR 2010
Every year at the end of the awards we have held what's known as a
post-mortem, where participants can make suggestions. I'll be posting
details of how we're going to run this year's post-mortem in a couple of
days. In the mean time, you can start thinking about if there are any
areas of the awards that you think could be improved.
THANKS
Finally, I want to thank everyone who has participated so fully in these
awards. Authors, thank you for sharing your work with us. Reviewers, I
really appreciate your investment of time. Volunteers deserve our
special gratitude; many deserve a great deal more than that, but
unfortunately gratitude is all I have to offer.
In particular, thank you to:
--- Marta for the incredible amount of work she puts in over the course
of each year to make the awards happen and make sure they run smoothly.
Having stepped in to help her out with the end of the awards this year,
I cannot believe how much she does, while making it all seem so effortless.
--- Elliska, for approving and processing new members.
--- Aranel, for sharing managing the technical end of our website with me.
--- Radbooks and Inkling, for their invaluable advice and help on
special projects as they came up
--- Annmarwalk for posting the reviews at the MEFAwards Yahoo group and
mefas LJ - EVERY DAY
--- Elea24 for helping to forward on author responses to their reviewers
--- Nieriel Raina for coordinating banners with wonderful efficiency; it
was a great relief to know that such a complex part of the awards was in
good hands, allowing me to concentrate on other aspects
--- The banner creators: Cactuskim, Elea24, Elena Tiriel, Elleth, Nath,
Nieriel Raina, red lasbelin and Viv
--- The banner customizers: Elena Tiriel, Elleth, Nath, Nieriel Raina
and red lasbelin
I also want to give particular thanks to Nieriel Raina and Elleth, who
between them created all the pre-made banners that winning authors can
use immediately. That was a huge task that they carried out at very
short notice, and I know it's something many authors will very much
appreciate.
These are just the people who have volunteered extensively since
categorization. For a full list of all the volunteers, please see
http://mefawards.net/MEFA2009/index.php?page=FAQvolunteers
And, finally, a big *thank you* to all the MEFA members for their
participation and for making the awards what they are.

was a great relief to know that such a complex part of the awards was in
good hands, allowing me to concentrate on other aspects
--- The banner creators: Cactuskim, Elea24, Elena Tiriel, Elleth, Nath,
Nieriel Raina, red lasbelin and Viv
--- The banner customizers: Elena Tiriel, Elleth, Nath, Nieriel Raina
and red lasbelin
I also want to give particular thanks to Nieriel Raina and Elleth, who
between them created all the pre-made banners that winning authors can
use immediately. That was a huge task that they carried out at very
short notice, and I know it's something many authors will very much
appreciate.
These are just the people who have volunteered extensively since
categorization. For a full list of all the volunteers, please see
http://mefawards.net/MEFA2009/index.php?page=FAQvolunteers
And, finally, a big *thank you* to all the MEFA members for their
participation and for making the awards what they are.

Well, I thoroughly bombed when it came to pacing myself as a reviewer this year, but at least I got a few last reviews crammed in there in the final minute.
Three cheers for the MEFA volunteers - you ladies and gentlemen make fandom fun!

Same here... I didn't get through my whole Wish List, much less find more
stories to review.....
And my reviews went from thoughtful ten-pointers to rushed, last-minute ten
character ones! Hope the authors understand it's the thought, not the
loquacity, that counts in the last hour before voting closes....
Thank you to all the great people who made the MEFAs possible!

I wanted to sneak in some last minute reviews myself, but alas, did not get
home in time.
We came close to SIX THOUSAND reviews this year! Wow!
