Admin - Stories featuring First Age and Prior, and Second and Early Posted by Marta November 15, 2009 - 21:17:48 Topic ID# 10237
Hey guys,

Continuing with the weekly 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 hobbits, not just
those competing in the Hobbits main 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.
