The Middle Earth Fanfic Awards (MEFAs) results are out. These are the Oscars of the Tolkien Fandom - chosen by peer review - and so I am very, very proud of my results!
Pretty Banners - mostly by Ellyn;

Yes - A Powerful Absence got a First! It was almost painful to write - a bit like giving birth at times - and so I am very proud of that.
Also a First for the second set of drabbles about Eldarion and his governess - Return of the Governess -

A Third for The Fosterling - and what a perfect banner for it!

And an Honourable Mention for I must Go Down to the Sea Again - with yet another perfect banner made for me by Ellyn.

This year there were also special awards (Smaug's Treasures) for the stories that came in the top 1/3 overall, by number and length of review. This is because some classes will be very popular and the fifth or sixth entry will have got more points than the second or third from a different class. Three of the above were also given that award -

I am really, really happy - and want to say A BIG THANK YOU to everyone who took time to review any of my stories, and to everyone who is involved with he organisation - everything runs so well - and if you ever have an hour or two to spare, and want to read Tolkien related fanfic - then a visit to the MEFA Archive is a very good place to browse.
Congratulations, too, to all my friends who got wins, placings, mentions and Treasure - all well earned, and very one worth reading!
