I just really wanted to profusely apologize for letting the reviews go until
the last moment. There is no excuse for my tardiness except to say that life
is interesting.

But to place such a heavy burden upon the MEFA staff - please accept my
heartfelt apologies. I promise I will not let this happen next year.

Blessings and thank you - especially for the incredibly fast 'notification'
of winners!

It was fun! I didn't get to everything I wanted to read but I am already
looking forward to next year and have some stories/poems already in mind to
nominate! I will have to pace myself better next year so I can finish
everything! Hantanyel everyone!

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

You've been incredible!! These must be by far the best organized
fanfiction awards on the net, and I can't believe how much effort
everyone puts in (staff, reviewers, etc.). It makes me feel really
bad that this year has been such a frantic one and I did not get
around to reading anything at all. :-(

Well, but there will always be next year! :-)

Once again: you are the greatest, everyone!!

Cheers,
Katzilla

Hey guys,

Thank you (to everyone!) for your kind words. I am replying to
Katzilla's email but have everyone's posts in mind. I'm glad that you
find these awards well run and a positive experience; I find them
something that's worth working hard for, and I am far from the only one
to put in the leg work. I am sure they appreciate your gratitude as well.

As for those of you who may feel regret that you didn't review very
much, don't feel bad about that; but do feel free to do more in future
years. These awards typically have a "learning curve," where people hear
about the awards one year and then get increasingly involved in
subsequent years, so you are not the only person who has ever wanted to
do more than you got to. And then there are the old hands who for
whatever reason just didn't have the time in 2008, but may have more in
2009. That's fine, too.

Whatever your level of involvement, if you want to do things better,
you'll get a second chance in just a few months. In the meantime, why
not carry on the MEFA spirit of reviewing and go review a few stories at
your favorite archive? You may even find things you'd like to nominate
for 2009.

*hugs to all*

Thank you to all the hard working volunteers and especially to Martha.
I couldn't do as many reviews as last year, but my wish list was longer. Go figure! I know that I missed some excellent stories and some of my favorite stories didn't get a review because they were buried somewhere in my wish list. The moment I realized I will never get my wish list done, I randomly chose stories out of it. This way I got at least something done. The quality of the stories I read was outstanding. Thank you to all the authors and nominators finding these gems.

Hi Sulriel,

We're still tying up loose ends but hope to make an announcement by the
middle of the week - probably on Wednesday after Annmarwalk finishes
posting reviews.

Thanks,

Marta
