Hey guys,
Here is your weekly admin post this week we're focusing on the poems
that have been entered in this year's awards. If one of the things you
love about Tolkien is the poems and songs, then our 22 entries in four
poetry categories are for you. While the number of poems may be small,
the works themselves can, like beautifully-crafted and polished jewels,
have a huge impact. So if you have a poetic bent, this list will help
you find the kind of stories you'd like to review.
For the list of pieces in this announcement I've used the story type
"Poetry". Finding the list of poems 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 "Poetry" from the "Story Type" filter (at the top) OR "Genres:
Poetry" from the "Main Category" filter (the third filter down).
6. Click the "Display selected nominations" button.
This will pull up all of the nominated pieces that are poems.
