I thought it would be interesting to compare the stats for the last
three years; here are some highlights:

2006
Total Stories: 658
Total Story Reviews: 5511
Persons who left Story Reviews: 106
Total Authors: 221 (including groups as 1 author)
Total Active Participants (Authors + Nominators + Reviewers +
Programmers): 244

2007
Total Stories: 726
Total Story Reviews: 5012
Persons who left Story Reviews: 102
Total Authors: 221 (including groups as 1 author)
Total Nominators: 98
Total Active Participants (Authors + Nominators + Reviewers): 243

2008
Total Stories: 660
Total Story Reviews: 5397
Persons who left Story Reviews: 125
Total Authors: 200 (including groups as one author)
Total Nominators: 96
Total Active Participants (Authors + Nominators + Reviewers): 234

What struck me is how remarkbably similar the numbers are from year
to year. But this year we had the most reviewers ever. Now that's
progress!

Wow! Very cool and congrats to all the winners and, hey, every author who
got some feedback. That's the big key behind this whole thing.



I don't remember the stats for the first year. We didn't have that fancy
website then. I've got the files if someone wants to count them. :-)



Anyway, I'm very glad to see that though it seemed I fell off the face of
Middle-Earth into an Abyss, my baby has lived on and grown and thrived.
Thanks to Marta for taking up where I left off. And thanks to all the brave
volunteers who man the whole thing. I really wanted to get back into it
this year but the best I could do was review.



Historical note for those wondering who I am or where I went: I founded the
MEFA's and ran them the first year and a half or so. Then I met this guy
and my whole life changed. One of those changes was that I pretty much
dropped off the face of the MEFA world. We were married in the spring of
2006 and are now working on adopting a child from Russia. So I work 2 jobs
and have a lot on my plate. Still, I'm glad these could live without me and
do just great! I'm glad I at least found the time to read some wonderful
stories. There were more I wanted to read and just didn't get to. I might
set myself a goal for next year and get one of those MEFA junkie
banners/buttons. And would someone send me a Nuzgul (or plot bunny)? I
want to write a story again!

It's great to hear from you and hear you are doing well, even as busy as
you are.
