How can I find out what the award names/banners are for my stories? They're
still showing in the database as "places" only. Or at least they were the last
time I checked, a week or two ago.

Are there award names for author awards, or just story awards?

Thanks,
Lindelea

I'm not sure this answers your question but...

If you mean the names of the awards that you won in the 2005 MEFAs,
it seems that they are:

Stories:
The J.R.R. Tolkien Award for Honorable Mention for Birthday Present

The Master of Buckland Award (2nd Place) for The Courtship of
Samwise Gamgee

The J.R.R. Tolkien Award for Honorable Mention for Truth

The Van Helsing Award (2nd Place) for The Council of Elrond

The Battle of the Pelennor Fields Award (2nd Place)for Shire:
Beginnings

The Legolas, Lord of Ithilien Award (2nd Place) for Tales of Old
Wives

Author Awards:
Adventure The J.R.R. Tolkien Award for Honorable Mention
Crossover Poetry The Troy Award
Horror The J.R.R. Tolkien Award for Honorable Mention
Mystery The Palantiri Award
Gondor Poetry The J.R.R. Tolkien Award for Honorable Mention
Hobbits The J.R.R. Tolkien Award for Honorable Mention
Hobbits Poetry The Master of Buckland Award
Men The Faithful of Numenor Award

I found that info by going to:

http://home.earthlink.net/~ainae/mefa/2005swin.html

and searching for your user name. If you want to get the associated
banners for your awards, go to http://home.earthlink.net/~ainae/mefa/
and click on the appropriate categories under "Authors pick up your
banners here."

I hope that helps. If not, let us know. :-)

Hi Lindelea,

If you go to http://home.earthlink.net/~ainae/mefa/ , there should be a
link that says the name of the different prizes for each category.
Also, if you log in to the site where you voted, there is a link to see
the winners, and the award names should be listed with that
information.

I'm writing this while I'm offline. When I have an internet connection,
I'll find the exact link at http://home.earthlink.net/~ainae/mefa/ and
post it here.

As for the author awards, they have the same name as the story awards.
For example, the awards for "Lord of the Rings" are:

1st: The Fellowship of the Rings
2nd: The Two Towers
3rd: The Return of the King Award.

So a story that wins 2nd place in some LOTR sub-category gets "The Two
Towers" award. And an author who wins 2nd place on the LOTR : Drabble
Authors subcategory (i.e., gets the second most points for author
reviews of all those authors who wrote drabbles in the LOTR category)
will also get a "Two Towers" award.

Open up http://home.earthlink.net/~ainae/mefa/ . There should be a link
to the awards banners for 2005. Click on the appropriate link (they are
organised by authors and story banners, with the different categories
having their banners on different pages - divided alphabetically by the
category name). You'll see that each subcategory has its own banners.
The basic design will be the same, but somewhere on there there will be
the name of the subcategory. Download the banner for your subcategory
and use it as you see fit.

Thanks,
Marta
