Msg# 7763

Hear, hear! Posted by Jeanette D. December 08, 2006 - 22:14:12 Topic ID# 7763

Hear, hear, for one of the best run and friendliest awards groups out there! There seemed to be so little of the backbiting and diva behavior that has plagued other awards---I think it's the people running it who really make a difference. I hadn't run across this group before I was nominated, but I am very happy to get to know them now.

Thanks for introducing me to so much great Middle Earth fanfiction, and thanks for a great experience!

Lurea

Hi Lurea,

Thanks for stopping by! I'm glad the MEFA's were a good experience and that
you found them more or less diva-free.

I'll second Lurea's emotion and raise the decibel level!

This was my second year of MEFA participation, and I had a blast. I
set 75 reviews as my goal, since I'd done 50 in '05; and ended up
posting over 260 reviews. And I read many stories that I hadn't
before, which was great fun.

I continue to be impressed by how well the MEFAs are run. The MEFAs
are not perfect, but every time a glitch appeared, it was addressed
quickly and usually solved, and my own problems were given individual
and prompt attention. I could name another major Tolkien fanfiction
awards competition where questions were either ignored or answered a
long time later. Plus, the atmosphere, as Lurea noted, was rife with
nearly universal goodwill.

Marta, Anthony, Dwim, and the Author Liaisons all deserve a round of
applause (as does anyone I forgot to mention) - praise them with
great praise!

out there! There seemed to be so little of the backbiting and diva
behavior that has plagued other awards---I think it's the people

group before I was nominated, but I am very happy to get to know them
