The results for the Middle Earth Fanfic Awards are now decided. For those of you who have no knowledge of the MEFAs, winners are decided by the number and length of reviews written per story over a period of about six months - so real peer review!



This one made me especially happy -

Pure Morning

I was so pleased that Pure Morning won - it is the Éowyn/Boromir/Theodred piece that was unlike anything I'd ever written - and there was some, behind the scenes, checking in case it had too much sex for the MEFAs before reviewing started.

I got lots of pretty things for my drabbles too - I am really proud of them all'

This is for Reaping The Reward -

This is for First Snowfall -

Many congratulations to all my friends who also won pretty, shiny things in the MEFAs - well done to all!

(I hope you don't mind) Not at all.

Some of them really were, weren't they? And actually more flattering for the writing in many ways - such as the one from Larner who actually said she read it from a sense of duty and was relieved to find it a story she could really respect.

My 'favourite' was by someone I am pretty sure won't read my journal so I can giggle a little - it was actually a very positive, 10 point review, but it included

I must admit, if I had know the fic contained slashy (or multiple partner) elements, I would probably have avoided it. Slash (et al) is fine, when it's canon but I can't read it when it's not.

And I did find myself thinking that "this contains scenes of male/male and male/female sex" in the summary at HASA might have given the impression it contained slashy elements... (The summary at my 'home' archive of Twisting the Hellmouth actually says "Contains sex; sometimes involving more than two people or less than two sexes!" But I thought, especially for the MEFAs, I should be even more clear at HASA.)

My husband and I did wonder what counts as canon slash in LotR...
