Hi to everyone,
Thank you for appoving my request to join. This is a very cool idea,
as there are not enough awards in the Tolkien fandom world, and those
that exist seem to have the same winners year after year (but we
won't go there).
A little about me, as boring as it might be. I've been reading and
writing for years uncounted. As much of it as I can for pleasure,
but a whole heap of it has been in my chosen vocation. I fell under
the spell of Lord of the Rings twenty years ago but never dared to
write in that world until about four years ago.
I post mainly at ff.net and Stories of Arda, but I have original work
at fictionpress.com. While I'm rather "internet challenged" I would
be happy to help in any way possible.

Glad you decided to dip your feet in the water. I admit I was very
intimidated at the thought of trying to write Tolkienesque. I was
established in the DS9 fandom, but a complete novice at Tolkien and LOTR.
But I dipped my feet in finally and found that the water's were indeed fine!

We're glad to have you! Can you e-mail authors of nominated stories to ask
their approval to be included in the Awards? And, of course, we can use
more vote counters. If we get enough, we can subdivide, so that the same
three or four aren't having to do all the categories.
