Subject: [MEFAwards] Another potential sticky situation....


regarding authors categorizing. I don't know why we didn't think of it
sooner.

Here's the sitch:

Two writers collaborate to write a story. Let's say a humorous love story
between an Elf and a human but set in the Silmarillion in Gondolin (hey,
there were a few humans there from time to time). The main character is the
human, from Star Trek. Possible categories thus far:
Elves
Silmarillion
Romance
Humor
Cross Cultural
Men
Crossovers

ROTFL! I want to *see* *that* story!!!
