Hi :)

This will probably be a silly question but I can't figure it out by myself.

According to that list I won the The Sam and Frodo Award, in the Romance
category, Rivendell subcatgory. I went to the banner section of the site and
searched under Romance - but there was the Sam and Rosie banners... I tried
other sections such as Elves and LotR but I could not find banners with that
specific title, so I was wondering if the banner was already posted or if
the name of the prize changed.

Thank you

I think it was called the Sam and Rosie Award, when I went voting anyway.
The other title is probably a "Frodian" slip.
*because resistance really IS useless!*

Hi Talullah,

First, congrats on your victory! And thanks for participating.

Now, on to the banners... apparently my repressed slash muse forced its
way to the surface on that one. ;-) As Rabidsamfan pointed out, the
correct award title is Sam & _Rosie_. Sorry about that.

What you see at the website are all the banners that were designed for
that place. We had a poll to see which one we'll actually use and
decided on #3. However, someone still needs to add bars to the awards
saying what subcategory the story won. For example, third place in the
"Drabble" subcategory of the "Romance" category would display a banner
with a bar reading "Drabble" at the bottom.

I'll email all the winners from mefasupport@gmail.com when the banners
are ready for your use.

Marta

Thanks, Martha. *has a very unrepressed slash muse*

Okay, I'll wait. :)

My repressed slash muse is becoming increasingly unrepressed. Since you
pointed out my Frodian slip I've been chatting with Tanaqui in YIM
about Denethor/Thorongil slash. Good times, speculating about the
acceptability of homosexuality among the Northern Dunedain compared to
Gondor. An idea hasn't bitten yet, but we'll see.

*glares at Dwim - you've been donating blood to the nuzgul again,
haven't you?*

Btw, I am not anti-slash. I typially write het because of the type of
stories I write. If you're writing men it's very hard to write slash
without introducing an OC or writing incest.

Cheers,
Marta

*grins* And I'm not anti-het, I just never had the momentum to post the het
fic I wrote *runs in shame*

Sounds like an excellent plot bunny. ;)
