Thanks from an author Posted by mitasova June 07, 2006 - 17:02:05 Topic ID# 7075
Hello!

I never post in this group but today I received a notification that my story has been nominated for an award. I always thought that to get noticed one has to be a part of some cool inner circle, which I am not. It is such a joy to know that somehow someone has read my work, liked it and deemed it worthy of nomination. Thank you, whoever you are.

I echo Tanya's thanks to whoever nominated my story as well. Whatever
happens, I feel honored and grateful that someone liked the story enough to
think it worth nominating.

God Bless.

Hi Tanya,

Congratulations on your nomination! It's good to know that some
lesser-known authors are getting noticed. As for being a part of some
"cool inner circle", I like to think that we work hard to avoid that
type of thing. If you find there's a certain group or corner of the
fandom that's not that well represented in the MEFAs, the best remedy is
to get people who enjoy those stories involved as nominators and voters.
So by all means feel free to encourage anyone who wants to get involved
- it's a good way to give some authors a "kudos!" who might not get it
anyway.

But then, I'm probably more than a bit biased. Glad to know you're happy
to be nominated in any event.

If you're interested to know who nominated your story, you can find it by:

1. Log in to http://www.mefawards.net/MEFA2006/
2. Click on "Browse Nominated Stories".
3. Click on "Show filter" if you don't see the drop-down lists.
4. Select your name from the "Authors" filter and click "Display
selected nominations".
5. Click "Story Details" beside your story.

There should be a line starting "Nominated by:" that shows who nominated
your story.
