ADMIN – Focus on Late Third Age Posted by Tanaqui October 30, 2008 - 16:41:58 Topic ID# 9520
Hey guys,

Here is your weekly admin post ı this week we're focusing stories set in
the Late Third Age. These are the tales set in and around the Great
Years of the War of the Ring. We have stories about events in the main
action "away in the South", and tales about what was happening elsewhere
ı in Mirkwood and Rivendell and the Shire. We have stories about dealing
with the aftermath of battle and victory, and stories about rebuilding
for the future. If you love "The Lord of the Rings" and enjoy tales
relating to the events recounted in the book, this list should help you
find more of the kind of stories you'd like to review.

For the list of pieces in this announcement I've used an author's main
category selection. Each author selects three category choices, only one
of which it can be placed in; but the author has still described it as
being suitable for three category choices, even if it isn't placed
there. So if an author selected the "Times" category Late Third Age it
will be on this list.

Finding stories that selected a certain main category is pretty
straightforward. To do this

1. Log in to www.mefawards.net/MEFA2008/
2. Click the "Stories" link at the top of the page.
3. Click the "Show Filter" link.
4. Click the "Clear All Filters" button if you've used the filter before
this session.
5. Select the genre, race, or time period you would like from the
"Genre, Race, Time" filter (sixth from the bottom).
6. Click the "Display selected nominations" button.

This will pull up all of the nominated pieces that selected your main
category as a first-, second-, or third-choice category, even if they
didn't end up categorized in that main category.
