2008 MEFA Final Results Posted by aure\_enteluva December 03, 2008 - 22:42:28 Topic ID# 9665
The 2008 Middle-earth Fanfiction Awards are now over, and what a year!
We had nearly 5,400 reviews for 660 stories, which is up from previous
years strictly by the numbers. I noticed many new faces and more people
discussing the awards. We've also had some very nifty additions to the
website and some new volunteers getting involved to help utilize those
features. (I'm thinking of the potential authors now have to reply to
reviews from the website, though there are loads of other cool
advancements as well.) Of course I'm biased, but I really am proud of
the way these awards are growing.

But you guys know all that. You want to see the results. :-)

If you'd like to read some of these stories or the reviews that were
written about them, please check out the results at our web page. Just

Again, this by no means represents all of the good stories. In some of
the sub-categories competition was quite intense, and there are some
very worthwhile entries not listed here. If you have the time, I
encourage everyone to continue looking at any of this year's nominations
that you didn't get to. You can still leave the author a review wherever
the story is posted. I'm sure they'll appreciate it.

Thank you again for your participation this year - I think it was a
success, and it wouldn't have been without so much participation. :-)

Here's to 2009!

Marta

marta, this was my first year and i am goggle eyed over the sheer
enormity of the undertaking. and how smooth and seamless it mostly
appeared; glitch or two here or there what the heck, you and the others
have labored to produce a marvel.

now as a bit of a numbers freak are there more statistics available or
have you tucked everthing into bed and are praying for a peaceful
winter's sleep? n.

*big grin* I don't think you're too biased. I think it's wonderful and
exciting to see the MEFAs continue to grow. The core volunteers are a large
part of that, but it's supported and driven by the community as a whole and
I think that's the best part of it all.

Wonderful! Oh, it's exciting to see everyone else who placed! I think it's
great to see what the MEFAs have turned into. More and more people got
excited over them this year!

I'm looking forward to the post-mortem.

Hi Nancy,

Numbers are definitely cool. (Says she who did a math degree... :-D) I
think we will be able to scrounge up something, but it will be a while.
All of us volunteers are looking forward to a little break. But when the
numbers are ready, I'll be glad to post them here.

To tide you over, you can check out 2007's numbers (I think there's also
a link there to 2006).

As a promoter, I'd love to be able to 'show' that these awards are quite
prestigious (IMHO) and hopefully, encourage others to join us next year!
Stats are pretty good for showing such things.

Blessings and thanks for all the hard work,
Agape
