let's just say more than 30 years and for the last two years at least,
I have been reading and commenting on all the fanfiction I can find.
My nic on TORn is FantasyFan, which is also the name I use for
reviewing stories. I don't write myself, but I salute all of you who
are such brilliant authors.
I learned about these awards from Marigold's site, joined this group,
read all the files and instructions, read all the May postings just to
get a feel for what is going on, and now I'm ready to read all the
stories and start reviewing. Am I correct in thinking I need to get
some kind of password to do this? This is the only thing I wasn't
clear on after reading the files (though I'm sure it won't be the last
thing I'm not clear on.)
I'm sorry if there is something obvious I should be doing that I'm not
seeing. So as to not take more board space, if there is a long
explanation it could be e-mailed to me at persimmontook [at] yahoo
[dot] com. Thanks for any help, and I'm eagerly looking forward to
participating any way I can.

Re: Good day, everyone Posted by MarigoldCotton@aol.com June 01, 2005 - 10:15:24 Topic ID# 4475It's great to see you here! You are right about the password, and someone in charge will send you that I am sure, I just wanted to say Welcome! and enjoy the stories : )
Hugs,
Marigold

There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for awhile. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach.
Sam, in Mordor, RoTK

Tales of The Red Book
http://www.livejournal.com/users/talesofredbook/
There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for awhile. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach.
Sam, in Mordor, RoTK

Re: Poll results for MEFAwards Posted by Elena Tiriel June 01, 2005 - 16:29:37 Topic ID# 123The order is fine with me.
The Crack of Doom (actually, it is more frequently called the Cracks
of Doom) is correct as is. It is the huge crack in the Chamber of
Fire (Sammath Naur) within Mount Doom that allows heat and lava to
enter the Sammath Naur, where Sauron had his forges. It is also
referred to as the Fire (or, in movie-verse that makes me wince for
its redundancy, "the Fire from whence it came" ;-D)

Ring Minas Tirith is the pre-eminent city, but Osgiliath is the
historic capital. It's the one place that Faramir longs to see rebuilt.
It was built first: Minas Tirith (Minas Anor) was originally only a
summer home; it was only in later years that Minas Tirith became the
main residence of the king.
As a writer of all things Gondor, Osgiliath is the most
important/majestic city in my mind. To me it's a similar argument to
why "Thain of Tookland" and not "Master of Bag End" is first place in
RP: Hobbits.
So I really think Osgiliath should be first. However, if you feel
strongly that Minas Tirith should be first I will accept:
1st. Minas Tirith
2nd. Osgiliath
3rd. Dol Amroth

Literally thousands of screencaps for each of the film. A real treasure
trove. And yes, plenty of screencaps of Osgiliath to choose from.
Osgiliath in decline, perhaps, but some very nice shots. (Remember
there's the two battle-sequences in TTT and ROTK, and the flashback
involving Boromir in TTT.)

So e-mail them to me. And post them on the YahooGroup site.

You want to decide which components go in. (I can't tell you that
step-by-step without seeing it myself, but if you keep Custom and Advanced
in your head, you should be able to follow this.) Then poke around in the
directories (they expand when you click a + sign and contract when you click
a -). I know there's support for other languages in there somewhere, as I
sometimes like to add support for French, German, Czech and Polish (so not
every word of them gets underlined red when I edit Oswiecim). You might
find some other features in there that aren't installed in the typical
installation. I almost always use custom install when I install a program.

There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for awhile. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach.

America). I know for a fact that you can plug a computer, at least a
laptop, into a UK outlet with the use of a special prong. The UK
outlets have a different arrangements of holes that you plug into, so
an American plug wouldn't fit. With a laptop, however, there's already
a transformer in the power cord that compensates for the differing
voltages of UK and US power outlets.
I didn't use a sewing machine so I'm not sure, but I guess there have
to be plugs that have transformers that you could use for that. I'd
just ask at an electronics shop -- preferably a small one like Radio
Shack, or a locally owned one if there's one where you live. (You don't
want to struggle with employees not knowing how to answer your
questions, like you're liable to get at Best Buy or one of the bigger
stores.) Just explain that you're going to the UK and want to know if a
certain appliance will work. Don't forget to bring the appliance's
specs. Maker and model number. If it isn't too bulky I'd bring the
machine, or at least the power cord, wiht you.

Re: OT: Help with setting Language preferences in Word Posted by Leaward June 04, 2005 - 21:55:08 Topic ID# 4501Marta is right, you can buy converters that will allow you to plug
your appliance in to the other country's power and it'll adjust it.
You have to make sure you buy the right converter -- Australia, Italy
and England all have different plugs than North America. Just to keep
things interesting :D
But I know the DVD/VHS system is different, you can't put a North
American tape into an English one who uses a different scanning system
called PAL. (There's a useless bit of information for tonight...)

Re: OT: Help with setting Language preferences in Word Posted by fliewatuet June 05, 2005 - 3:19:44 Topic ID# 4501power supply unit, for example, says something like 'AC 100 - 240V', so
this works both in Europe (where you have 230V AC) and in America (where
you have 110V AC). If the larger number is smaller than 220/230V, she
should get herself a transformer. If she doesn't need extra
transformers, the easiest thing is usually to simply buy a new power
cord (if they are not permanently attached to the power supply unit),
though she would have to do that in the UK. We have bought a US power
cord for our notebook and that's much less of a hassle than dealing with
the adapter plugs.
Hope that helps,

last year and partly because of the MEFA2005 site posing a different process
for us, we are late getting these out. Fortunately, the next season wasn't
Voting Season but Reading Season. So you could have been reading anyway.
We've had most of the categorizing done for the last couple of days except
for 2 poems that couldn't be put in any of the 3 choices for categories. I
finally made a decision to put them in the LOTR category this evening as we
haven't heard from the author.
So, get read. Check Ballot #1 is coming. (That's actually 23 different
Check Ballot #1s, one for each main category.) What you may not know is
that we've had 3 subcategories graduate up: Gap-Filler in Books/Time and
Gondor and Rohan in Races/Places. Making a total of 23 main categories
What are Check Ballots for? For checking, just as it sounds. Looking for
errors, lost URLs, wrong author names, etc. So, read the check ballots and
point out any errors for us in replies. I will post the #1's today and try
for #2's tomorrow. That should have us finishing with #4s by Thursday.

Many people have read the work of Tolkien based on the accounts of history
given in the Red Book identified to have been recorded by Bilbo and Frodo
Baggins with compilation and editorial work by Samwise Gamgee. What follows
is an account immediately following the events of the of the sixth book,
specifically, beginning in the chapter entitled, "The Scouring of the
Shire". This work stands in contrast with the historic information appearing
only in the Appendixes of Tolkien’s work, i.e. the notes about how everyone
lives happily ever after following the close of the last chapter, and no
effort has been made to reconcile this account with those in the
appendixes..

three...." We are provided no cause for these dissensions. What did the
three brothers disagree over? How to raise taxes? Which girl they should
marry? When to celebrate the oldest son's coronation? ...

"Shelob was gone; and whether she lay long in her lair, nursing her malice

more her dreadful snares in the glens of the Mountains of Shadow, this tale
does not tell." (LOTR, book IV, chapter X) Here, then, is the untold tale of
Shelob after her encounter with Sam. Her hunger is great, but she is good at

category choice was "Books/Time: The Lord of The Rings", unless it was
to make the category viable, since it did mention gap-filler as the
first of the subcategory choices. But on reflection, it's more of an
alternative perspective of an event in the book, rather than a
gap-filler per se. If moving it would mean you would need to replace it
with another drabble to make the category viable, there are several of
mine in "Books/Time: Post-Ring War: General Drabble" and "Books/Time:
Post-Ring War: Gondor Drabble" that would fit much better in gap-filler
than this one. For instance, "Returning from a Wedding (1379)" that I
referred to above would be more appropriate here.

Denethor's relationship with Finduilas is only a small part of the
story, which gives nearly equal weight to Denethor's relationships with
Faramir, Ecthelion, Adrahil, Boromir, Thorongil and, of course, that
pesky palantír.

nomination looks all right, except that I would change the "Reason for
rating" from "Mild sexual situation" to "mild suggestion of possible
slash". The scene involved really isn't a sexual situation, and I was
very over-cautious when rating it. Apart from that, the only thing I
worry about is its overall classification of type, given that it's
four related drabbles depicting different scenes. I really am unsure
of how else to classify it under MEFA's system, so as long as you
think it's all right to leave it as it is, I'm all right with it.
Liaison suggestion: What we have is the story type Drabble, but
instead of a true drabble (100 words) for length we can select drabble
series. A drabble series is a series of related 100-word drabbles.
Author reply: I remembered after I wrote you that it was originally
rated G and that I had changed it to a U (Universal) a while back in
order to avoid problems with the MPAA. It looks as though the person
who recommended it gave it a PG rating and might have mistaken a
comforting kiss (not on the mouth) between Frodo and Sam as a sexual
situation. Could you change the rating back to G, if it would not
offend your audience? I like very much the idea of submitting this as
a drabble series, as that is how I had written and described it
elsewhere. I had not seen the other submissions, and am glad to know
that that is possible. Everything else seems fine. Thank you very much.

received. Back then I noted it was a WIP and it is listed in the
liaison notes. It was nominated as Story: Novella by Ariel.
You replied the same day with: I am glad about the nomination and I
gladly accept it, of course. The suggested categories, the summary,
rating and URL are correct. Thank you very much!
I hope this clarifies why it is listed like that in the system.

copty of LotR published by Unwin and my bought-3-years-ago (and based
on the supposedly definitive e-text) copy published by HarperCollins,
it distinctly says Middle-earth, not Middle Earth or Middle-Earth. So
surely Middle-earth is the correct "canon" form (whether or not you
want to correct the summary of the story)?

Why did I add the reference to the other one? Because it quoted directly

this story. I've moved it back to LOTR/Drabble. ( See below. Gap-Filler is
a graduated category and therefore wasn’t available for the top 3 choices of
an author).

choices. This is important, folks. This is why we asked authors to approve
all the details and not just the fact that a story was nominated. The
choices here were The Silmarillion, Men and then Drama. I'm gonna hafta put
my foot down on this one. Otherwise, every author could say "Wait, I'd
rather my stoy be in this category!" and then we'd have to do the whole
categorization over again.
So, sorry, but this one will stay. Fixing mistakes in categorizing is one
thing, but changing choices this late in the game is another. The only
exceptions to that are two of Werecat's poems which aren't viable in any of
the 3 choices. Since they must be in a viable subcategory, I've put them in
LOTR/Poetry. If we hear from her before the 4th Check Ballot, she can
choose which viable category to put them in. Keep this in mind for next
year. Really think before you approve of your nominations. And I'm saying
this to everyone, Tanaqui, not just you.

are more fluid. Authors give or approve of suggestions only. Also, Gondor
being a graduated category, Authors couldn't have put it in their 3 choices
before Check ballot season, which is too late. That's why we might change
those.

Drabbles. Any other form of drabble (the double, tripple, 111-words
drabble) all run as ficlets and are placed in the main category, from
there on subcategories were created.
I had a look at these two when categorising and all drabbles in this
drabble series can be read seperate from each other.. so that is why
they ended up there.

It is both a drabble series and about Nazgul, so either subcategory or
both is correct.
Thanks for the changes you've made and your very clear and reasonable
explanations of why things have or haven't been changed.
I'm sure that all of us, having now seen the new combination of
nomination and categorisation process this year, now understand much
more clearly how it works and what kinds of things we should put in
the "subcategories" field - and that we will therefore be able to make
the categorisers' jobs a lot easier next year.

link to the next? .... I just went and looked and no, it doesn't. That is
not good. Next year when something like this happens, the Liaison should
have asked the author to post her story somewhere else or at least add links
to go from chapter 1 on. It's this sort of thing that last year made me say
Tolkien Online wasn't ellible this year.

Hobbits (Story details)
(Incomplete: Short Story) Rating: G [Self-nominated.]
Suggested Award Categories:

Suggested SubCategories: Hobbits, essay
Story Summary: An attempt to collect the different quotes from "The Lord of
the Rings" and "The Hobbit" pertaining to Shire-lore. Currently reflects
books I-IV of "The Lord of the Rings". (WIP)
The problem is there is no Hobbits\Incomplete category.

Hiding a vulnerable princeling from enemy eyes and concealing his identity
until he's grown are certainly the stuff of legends. But even if the legend
is true, it probably does not tell the whole story. Would Gilraen have
preferred to raise Aragorn as his father's son and not hidden his identity?
Would Elrond expect Aragorn's mother to come with him to Rivendell, or would
he believe it easier to hide the boy from Sauron's eye if she lived
elsewhere? That they ended up together in Rivendell, and that Aragorn's
identity was successfully concealed, is fact. But how?

have some more questions about the Black Riders and be more worried about
Pippin going along and about the Quest in general?

specifically, beginning in the chapter entitled, "The Scouring of the
Shire". This work stands in contrast with the historic information appearing

lives happily ever after following the close of the last chapter, and no

Rohme were the worst of the kinslayers and were doubly cursed by the Valar,
exiled far to the east with their skin changed to a golden hue, a visible
mark to signal their taint to all other elves. During the milennia of their
exile they developed many ways and customs different from the elves in the
west of Endore, including a different language. They also spent the time in
exile redeeming themselves with many acts of valor against the forces of
darkness. During the Last Alliance, two great royal houses of the Rohme
enter into a blood feud that will not be resolved until shortly before the
Battle of Fornost The Rohme are Havetoist's. All of the characters are
original. The language is Hungarian. Translations of terms appear at the end

of my changes. I remember last year we corrected typos and other minor
edits in the summaries, so that each story would be putt forth in the
best possible light. Obviously we're not doing that this year; I
understand why now, but I didn't know that when I was doing my edits.
It's now 2:30 AM, and I've spent the better part of the last four hours
going through the ballots and suggesting changes. So I'm sorry to
create more work, but I'm not going to go back and edit out those
suggestions. Feel free to disregard what you don't think we have to
change, and don't feel like you have to reply here explaining why
you're doing what you're doing.

about changing every little typo. That would take a lot of time! But I
am a perfectionist, so I at least want to note it, and we did fix them
last year.
As I said before, disregard these little changes in my other ballots.

it. I do understand why the author wouldn't think to link to the last
three chapters from the first chapter -- if she was posting serially
they wouldn't have been written yet!
I have an idea for a solution to this kind of thing for next year, but
I'm not sure if it's technically feasible. In any event I'll save it
for the post mortem.

required to have two choices.
I thought someone said over at the staff list that this essay would
make hobbits/incomplete viable, but maybe I'm misremembering. In any
event, if Hobbit/Incomplete can't run, LOTR is as good as anything
else. It's not really about the events of LOTR, but so far it only
draws information from LOTR. Eventually I'll expand it to include The
Hobbit and the Letters, and maybe even the HOME drafts (hey, I can
dream right ;-P ) So I guess LOTR is as good as it can get.
