Okay, I put Humor as the 2nd choice, Drama as the 3rd choice. Romance and
LOTR went in Subcategory Suggestions. Please only pick one for each choice.

And would that be G or PG? Since you've read the story, you can pick one.

Sorry, guys, I forgot to change the "to" line and sent this to the
group. I'm fixing it and sending to the author.

Hi Ainaechoiriel,
have you a suggestion where I find info how to
decide between G and PG ?

Didn't find info on
http://home.earthlink.net/~ainae/mefa/Awards%20FAQ.html
I just took the ratings by author.

Rating for me would be G but I need to read a guidance
about rating if I have to do this myself.

Secondly: Categorization
If still possible I would prefer:
Romance 2nd Choice
Humor 3rd choice
Drama and LoTR Subcategory Suggestion.
But if I understand correctly
the author will decide how the
story will be categorized in the end.

For me this story is a realistic love story
with humorous and angsty allusions.

I made the categorization as described in
http://home.earthlink.net/~ainae/mefa/Awards%20FAQ.html Part IV D
Probably I misunderstood the rules.

I will decide between G and PG
for all the stories
when I have found a guide.

Best wishes Elanor

I will use the following guides for rating

20Ratings%20System&AboutButtons=1
and

PG, no profanity, nudity, no violence
but maybe remembrances of battle are accounted
already as violence
As this is a 'love-story' it is not for small children

PG, not for small children IMO, politics, anger, self-doubt

death of horse in battle described

PG, not for small children as the ties are to
ward off probable death in battle

Thanks. I've got them all up-to-date now.
