Hey guys,

As many of you probably realize, voting for the 2008 awards ends on
Sunday, at 11:59 PM GMT November 30. (Note that's GMT, not your local
time zone.) That's the deadline for getting all your votes in, and also
for changing any draft reviews over to hidden or final if you want them
counted. On Sunday night the awards organizers and I will start working
getting the results ready to share with the world.

Part of that is telling authors who have won, that they've won, and
offering them use of one of the many banners our dedicated banner
artists have made for this purpose - see all of their work at
http://mefawards.net/fanart/categories.php?cat_id=799&page=17 .

You'll notice that these banners don't display the award won - just
"MEFA" or "Middle-earth Fanfiction Awards" and the year. This is where
you can help. When an author wins they will be told to email a certain
address with what banner they'd like to use, and a volunteer will
customize the banner for them. We already have some volunteers but could
always use more - that means less work for everyone involved. Basically
you would be adding the place and category/subcategory to banners and
emailing them out to grateful authors. If this sounds like something
you'd like to be involved in, please let me know and I'll send you more
information.

And whether you're interested in helping out in this way or not, watch
this space for awards results (next week) and details on how to make
suggestions for future years (once we've all had a chance to recupe a
bit. :-D)

Hi Nancy,

I'd love your help. I'll email you privately, from
mefasupport@gmail.com. I'll be sending some more instructions (both in
the body of the email and an attachment) on how exactly this works.
Please read over it all, and if it sounds like something you think you
could do, we'd love to have your help.

Thanks,

Marta

Hello Marta
I've been woefully neglectful of the MEFAs, but I have PS and could help with this one (especially as it doesn't require talent, just copy/paste and emailing *g*). Let me know.
Cheers

Hello Marta
I've tried one (editing, moving, editing the banner, replying) - but it will be in the fanart Sent folder (just did it was a reply). Hope it was okay.
Cheers
