How about this? I've forwarded it to the list for you.

You can either post from within the Yahoo site, or you can just send your
nominations to MEFAwards@yahoogroups.com

We do need to work on your Categories though, as your first two aren't any
that we have. We have the following:

a. Men
b. Elves
c. Hobbits
d. Orcs
e. Rohan
r. Numenor

a. Humor
b. Adventure
c. Drama (includes Angst)
d. Romance
e. Horror
f. Mystery
g. Crossovers

a. The Silmarillion
b. The Hobbit
c. The Lord of the Rings

Shall we place it under Lord of the Rings then?

No, I'm trying to nominate this story (it's awesome, you should go read it)
But I'm just as confuse as you are! I've never been in a Yahoo Group b4, so
I suppose I just....? Posted it incorrectly? I'm not totally sure either...

Does that help?

Okay, I am getting read to take the plunge and nominate something.

The author has given permission. I have a title, I have a URL, I have
a summary.

I am having trouble with the category stuff.

the list is below.

Here's my question - and please everybody avoid laughing too loudly at
poor Lindorien. I am so easily confused, that its pretty sad.

Am I to say in the Category something like:

First choice: Hobbit, Drama, LOTR?
Second choice: Hobbit, Adventure, LOTR?
Third choice: Hobbit, ??? LOTR?

is that how it is done?

Sorry if this has been asked a dozen times already.

Nope. You put one category per choice. If your suggestion is primarily
about Hobbits and you want it to be judged against other hobbits pieces.
Say "1st choice: Hobbits." If, beyond being about hobbits, the second
best category for it is Lord of the Rings, put "2nd choice: LotR".

You get the idea, I think.

And you don't have to nominate one race, one book, one genre. I have
some that I've nominate as both Drama and Romance (or Drama and Humor),
I think.

HTH,

Marta

I think someone has already helped you with this one.

It could look like this:

1st: Hobbits
2nd: Adventure
3rd: LOTR
