Hi guys,
I'm proud to announce that the 2006 Middle-earth Fanfiction Awards are
open for nominations. To vote, please go to
http://www.mefawards.net/MEFA2006 .
Some important reminders:
1. Each member is limited to nominating twenty pieces.
2. Nominators this year provide the story URL, the story title, and
the author's name. (If the author does not already have a story
nominated, the nominator also needs to provide the author's email
address). All other information is provided by the authors.
3. The rules and several FAQs about different aspects of the awards
are available at
http://www.mefawards.net/faq/ . If you have any
questions you may find this site helpful.
3. The nomination form has changed substantially, hopefully for the
better. Authors will now select a time period, genre, and race the
story is about, and rank their preference as to which category they
most want their story to take place in. This replaces the question
last year where authors were asked to give their first-, second-, and
third-choice categories.
4. Authors will be asked a series of questions about their stories and
this information will be used to form sub-categories. This replaces
the question last year where you were asked to list some potential
sub-categories.
5. Nominators may now nominate stories posted after the start of
nomination season. The only requirement is that the piece be posted at
the time you nominate it.
6. Authors may vote on other authors' pieces without being required to
join the MEFAwards group. To nominate other stories (by themselves or
other authors) they must still join the MEFAwards group. If the author
does not have a Yahoo account they can be added as an email only
member if they would like.
7. Not a change, but a reminder: make sure the piece you nominated was
not nominated before. Each piece can be nominated once as a WIP and
once again as a completed piece. 2004's nominations are available at
http://gabrielle.sytes.net/mefa/final2004noms.html; 2005's nominations
at
http://gabrielle.sytes.net/MEFA2005/ . Members of the MEFAwards
Yahoo group can also find stories previously nominated in the
databases "Ineligible Complete Works" and "Ineligible Incomplete
Works" at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MEFAwards/database .
Those are the most significant changes. Please make sure you are
familiar with the pertinent rules and FAQs, and if you have any
question feel free to email
mefasupport@gmail.com .
