And the deadline has come for author approvals. Thus 10 stories will be
removed from consideration, and the Elves/Vignette category is no longer
viable.

Give me a few minutes to work out where the remaining 4 vignettes should go
and I'll get the web page updated and perhaps even the final check ballots
out tonight. If not tonight, tomorrow.

Ooops. Typo.

Thanks!

Sphinx

Lina is now a big sister! Yes, I've done it. I've gone and adopted another
kitten! And she's adorable! She's 11 weeks old or so, which puts her
approximate birthday at April 7th! Which is my birthday. So she's really a
belated birthday present, right?

I saw her o a poster at Petsmart, free to good home, the usual. But not
only was she cute, but she has extra toes! 7 on each front paw! It looks
like she has big thumbs (the other extra toe is a tiny one between the
normal toes and her big thumbs). Now, my mother had once seen a cat with
opposable thumbs and I just feel in love with the idea. So when I read that
she had extra toes.we'll that's almost as good as opposable thumbs!

So her name is, you may have guessed it, Thumbellina. Now that may not be
the way it was spelled in the fairy tale, but this is how it has to be for
her. Why? Because I already have a cat I call Lina (for Zmrzlina). Can't
have two with the same name. Thus, this one I will call Belle.

She is getting along fairly well with the other cats, I'd say. This is only
the first time they've met but she and Lina have gotten to within a foot of
each other without hissing. And even Rigby has been within 4 feet of her.
Poodie, sadly, was attacked by LeStat earlier, so he was a bit touchy about
the whole thing. (LeStat is Lina's brother but he hasn't been with us since
my sister moved out. She couldn't take care of him, so he came back here two
days ago.)

That also means that LeStat cannot stay with us. Poodie is quite a mellow
cat at 9 years of age. He wasn't looking for a fight. LeStat ran right up
on him from behind and pounced. Not playfully either. Tomorrow he'll go to
a no-kill shelter here in town. I think he'll be fine in a family where he's
the only cat.

Kittens are much easier to integrate into a cat family, as they know well
enough to be submissive and not try to take over the territory.

''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

That was Belle. She's not a very good typist. ;-) Maybe I'll post a picture
tomorrow.

Well, Lina is crying at the door to the office, which is Belle's safe-zone
until everyone is integrated well. I need to go spend some more time with
her.

Bye for now! And happy reading!

Give me a few minutes to work out where the remaining 4 vignettes should go

yes, and it's Legolas's 1st person POV so it should suit Elves... and if it will make the catagory viable, I am willing to have it there.

ACK! I just noticed this...And maybe it's been mentioned before..but
on the website, and in this check ballot it says:


Gondor
LG6: Sting by TreeHugger
URL: http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=1233315
Rating: G
Romance Partners: n/a
Summary: The parting of Boromir and Faramir, in which the brothers again
address the question of which of them should go to Imladris.


In the database it says this for the summary...

Bilbo learns of the origins of his little sword from Glorfindel.

So I'd say Vignette or the general category (and the LOTR/Gondor
category still has 3 authors, 5 stories if this one is moved).

Thanks! Fortunately, the right story also had the Boromir summary. It's
fixed on the spreadsheet and on the web.

I am working on the nominations spreadsheet. I've copied over all the
authors with their categories and subcategories and eliminated all the
duplicates. Then I took a look.

It seemed a little silly to be voting for/commenting on the same author
twice in say the Elves category just because the author's two stories were
in two different subcategories, such as Pre-WOTR and Post-WOTR.

On the other hand, it isn't silly to be voting for/commenting on the same
author twice when those two stories were a long story and a drabble. Or a
short story and a poem.

So I think we can divide on form only and toss out all the other
subcategories.

So that leaves these two as subcategories for author categories:
Drabble
Poetry

While long stories and short stories do pose different challenges, they are
still, essentially, the same form. Besides, we haven't differentiated these
in the story categories, so we can't really differentiate them here. In any
case, they are not nearly so different as "poetry" is to "story". "Drabble"
is different because it is so limitted. Not just anyone can tell a whole
story in only 100 words.

But there is still one questionable form: vignette.

Vignettes are essentially a short story taking the place in only one scene.
But it's still a short story. Unlike a drabble, it's not restricted to a
certain number of words. You could have a 1-page vignette or a 3-page
vignette.

So, is a vignette so different in form from a regular story? Should it be a
subcategory as drabble and poetry? Or should it stay in the main category
with the rest of the stories?

Also, note we had an essay this year. Unfortunately, we still don't have
enough for a viable category (for authors it only takes three authors for a
category to be viable). So vignette, really is the only question.

As things stand, all main categories are viable as Author categories. As
are all Drabble and Poetry subcategories for each of those categories that
had those subcategories in the story nominations. (Hobbits/Drabble just
barely squeaks by with 3 authors).

So, should there be a vignette subcategory in the Author awards? The thing
to keep in mind is this: Does it take the same talents/skills to write a
vignette as it does to write a short or long story? That's where the
difference is for poems and drabbles. It needs to be there for vignettes IF
vignette is to be a subcategory. Discuss please

To me, a vignette is basically the same as a short story, so I wouldn't seen
the need for a special sub-category...

I think it is a shame that short stories and long stories aren't
divided I can quite see we can't do it now. I'd suggest it as
something to think about for next year though. To me a short story
is a very distinct artform and to judge it against long 'stories'
which may well be novels or novellas is difficult. YMMV, of course.

Whe we tried to find a definition of vignette over at HASA in the
Patterns in Prose forum no one simple definition could be found.
Most mentioned completeness and plot not being necessary. None
actually specified that it was one scene, IIRC. Of course, as it is
your comp. you can choose that definition.

Either way I think I would vote for vignettes being a separate
category if it viable and feasible.

Well, I think it takes the same talent and skills to write a long
story or a short story. Beginnings, middles, ends, pacing, plot,
characterization, etc. All those go into both. You can't say the
same thing about a drabble. There's no time for pacing. The
beginning and end are so close together that there really is no
middle. There is characterization, but generally of only one
character.

Also, if we did divide short and long, we'd have to through a whole
lot of rigamorole (Forgot how to spell that) to decided the limits
for long stories and short. How many chapters connotes a long story
as opposed to an average-length story? What is an average length
story? How many words is the upward limit of a short story? We had
this discussion a few years ago at ASC. I can't remember all the
breakdowns but someone pointed out what the professional publishers
use. I think novel was at 70,000. Where does that put my 170,000
word story (or 300,000 word story if you go by ff.net's count).
Where would that put LOTR? My short stories are generally too long
for what the publishing world calls a short story. They say 25,000
words and I've got 30,000. Does that make my story a novella? Not if
you ask me. I call my 270-pagers novellas. Publishers would call
them novels. And my longer ones (3 or 4) would be giant novels or
epic, I suppose. The one I asked about was simply called "too long
to even be considered" by the editor for Star Trek books at
PocketBooks.

I got a bit confused over at the Mithrils this year because they had
categories for vignettes and long stories, I believe, but not a
specific length category for anything in between. Those stories, I
were told could fit into one of the other categories like Drama and
such.

We'd have to decide those things. At ASC, we decided it wasn't worth
the bother.

Really, I think it is just too much of a bother *especially* if you
are not nominating your own story. Ff.net is not an accurate source
for word count. Neither is HASA because they count all the words,
even the author's notes, title, etc., not just the body of the story.

And if we did differentiate, it would, in essence, double every
category and subcategory. And bring us into sub-subcategory land,
which I'd like to avoid. Or it would negate all the other
interesting subcategories and leave us only with Elves/*length* and
Drama/*length*

I went searching on the internet and found that vignette can actually
be applied to art! Surprise, surprise. But Merriam-Webster's site
did have this:

3 a : a short descriptive literary sketch b : a brief incident or
scene (as in a play or movie)

A brief incident or scene. I've always heard that a vignette is just
one scene. That has been my non-definitive (as in, not from a
dictionary) understanding. Now I have this definitive answer: a
brief incident or scene, and I think it meshes fairly well. A short
descriptive literary sketch would not seem to imply two or more
scenes to me. Neither would "*a* brief incident or scene", and it
gets less brief the more scenes we put in.

So for the purposes of these awards, we will hold to vignette being a
one-scene story, a brief incident or scene.

> Either way I think I would vote for vignettes being a separate
> category if it viable and feasible.

If it is decided to be a subcategory, it will be viable. Remember
that we aren't discussing story categories here. The ones posted are
the ones that are there. Some main categories do have viable
vignette subcategories. Elves/vignette, for instance, was recently
rescued from inviabiability due to one author not responding with
approval in time.

This are the author categories and I think the subcategories should
be broken down by that talent/skill side of things:

What does it take to write a successful story?
What does it take to write a successful drabble?
What does it take to write a successful poem?

I think the answers to these are different. It takes something
different to write a drabble than a story (long or short). I didn't
think I could do it until recently when Dwim encouraged me to try. I
*know* it takes something different to write a poem. Not everyone
that can write a story can write a poem, and vice versa, though some
can do both.

So what does it take to write a successful vignette? And is that
different from what it takes to write a successful story? (And if we
break story down into long and short, I don't think what it takes to
write each successfully will differ all that much.)

Responding to the questions above: As a writer of haiku and
drabbles, I think the answers are different. I have tried to write
stories but lack the talent. However, I can research well and write
research articles. A drabble requires the ability to write a short
concise piece in which every word counts and must be part of the
plot. A poem is similar to a drabble but usually has a form of
length and rhyme unless the author is writing free verse. A poem, I
think, needs to follow the form chosen or it is awful. I read a poem
written as a series of haiku but the author strayed from the form and
it did not work. As for a story, I am not sure but think it is
different from the other two in terms of form and style.

How about if we see if the results of the voting is biased towards the longer
stories (since the general perception would be that longer stories get more
feedback, right?) If there's a definite pattern, than might be something we
want to think about for next year?

We *could* but we'd still have to define short and long. And I don't
particularly want to do that. Who is going to do the watching of the
results? Is there one person in this group who has or will read
*every* story nominated to know if they are long or short?

In my experience with the ASC awards, long and short have their own
advantages.

Long stories are remembered better. So the reader who read the story
awhile back is more likely to comment on it.

Short stories have the advantage of time. If the reader hasn't read
some stories and voting season has come, the reader is more likely to
read shorter stories than longer ones, and thus more likely to
comment on the shorter ones.

Now, at ASC we don't have Reading Season. That's because we have
that built-in pool of stories posted during the whole year. We know
the whole year long which stories will be in the voting. We have the
option to read the whole year long. I often don't get around to
doing that because I'm involved in the LOTR fandom. So most of my
Trek reading came right at the time of the awards. I read shorter
stories.

Because we don't have that built-in pool of stories, we need time to
read the stories once they are nominated (because they may be stories
were are not familiar with or in archives we don't frequent
ourselves). So we have Reading Season to give the longer stories a
shot. It's my way of evening up the odds.

So each kind (long and short) have their advantages and
disadvantages. Reading Season is my way of dealing with that within
the rules.

And my way of dealing with that within advice is my oft repeated:
Vote early! If you write up your comments right after reading the
story, memory is not a part of the equation anymore. Thus long story
advantage is gone. If you use the 2 1/2 month Reading Season to read
long and short stories, you negate the advantage shorter stories
have. Evens the playing field.

That's still only about story categories. For author categories, I
still think that what it takes to successfully write a long story and
what it takes to successfully write a short story is not sufficiently
different as to warrant a separate subcategory for each.

I just noticed that there are two stories by Eresse in Elves/Romance

Meldir:At First Sight
With Friends Like These

I believe this are at least the first 2 parts of a 30 part story. Not that they can't stand on their own, but since they are part 1 and 2 should they not be together? or since they stand on their own can they be considered separately?

I nominated them and talked to Eresse before doing that, and we thought they

Enter your vote today! A new poll has been created for the
MEFAwards group:

Should Vignette be a subcategory for
the Author awards? (Does it take
different skills/talents to write a
vignette than to write a multi-scened
story?)

o Yes
o No


To vote, please visit the following web page:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MEFAwards/surveys?id=1298995

Note: Please do not reply to this message. Poll votes are
not collected via email. To vote, you must go to the Yahoo! Groups
web site listed above.

Thanks!

Predicting that the poll will favor Vignette as a subcategory, I've posted
the web site page for author nominations. If my predicture turns out wrong,
I can just re-merge it after editing the spreadsheet.

http://home.earthlink.net/~ainae/mefa/Authnoms.html will get you there.

When the ballot comes out (in Voting Season), the catgegories will be
separated, but for ease of posting, I'm throwing them altogether into one
web page table.

Each author should only be listed once per category/subcategory. Teams
should be treated as separate entities from their individual members. You
will comment on the team, not just the individual writers. In that way, you
may see the same name twice in a category, once as a part of a team and once
as an individual.

Levade is listed twice in Elves, and Marigold is
listed twice in Hobbits/Drabble.

Humor includes both Bryn (aka bryn_bnw) and bryn-bnw.

Under Lord of the Rings/Vignette, Isabeau of Greenlea
is listed as Isabeau of Greenleaf (should have no
"f").

Thank you Ainae for compiling all this info. I can't
imagine how much time you've put into this contest so
far. Don't know if it makes the sacrifice any easier,
but the rest of us are having a blast with it, and
really appreciate your effort.

Thanks, I did manually delete duplicates so it's no surprise that I'd miss
some. Thanks for catching them. I've fixed the spreadsheet and will
reupload the page sometime today.

Hard to believe that one got by all the check ballots, huh? ;-0

Thanks! The real time-consuming stuff was in Check Ballot Season. It's not
so bad now. And I'm using it to procrastinate writing. Darn me.

Then "Dana Lindelea" should appear as "Dana and Lindelea" in the Horror
category, at least that would make it in the same format as the others.

Thanks for organising all this; I'm finding some great reads, many old
friends but more new to me that I might not have discovered if they weren't right
there, all gathered so conveniently together in one place.

It sounds as if we'll just cut and paste our comments into one ballot per
voter, is that right? (Might make for an awfully long email, should one read 100
stories or more!)
