Some pretties... and some words to go with them.

This was my recognition that I took part in a comment challenge -





Now it really wasn't hard to actually comment as I read some good, well written, fics; and it was a real pleasure, also, to receive comments. So I would urge you to take the time, when reading, to say you enjoy the story - even if that is all you say. Wondering about a source of good reading to comment on? Then you could do a great deal worse than to look at the nominees for these -





Many Paths to Tread is a smallish (but growing) Tolkien archive, where I mainly archive my drabble sets, and so I am really pleased to say that I received nominations in

Favorite story featuring Men for First Spring.

A year in the Walled Garden and Family Ties were nominated in the actual drabble or drabble series category.

Then Cautionary Tales for Little Hobbits was nominated in Favorite Humour Story, and in Favorite characterization of Gandalf, Learning Process was nominated.

Finally The Making of an Heirloom was nominated in Favorite characterization of Legolas.

Links to the stories, and the voting polls, can be found HERE - go and enjoy some very good reading.

Congrats to your nominations! I came too late to place more than one or two nominations myself, as most of those stories had already been nominated. :o)

[curiouswombat.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I didn't nominate as many as I would have liked as I ran out of time to go back and read many to see if I had remembered them correctly! But I am going to make myself do a set of votes every night, I think, to make sure I don't run out of time for them, at any rate!

Since I hadn't read that many stories present in the archives at all, even if I had read most of them elsewhere, I didn't have too many to nominate anyway. I have the same problem for the voting and have read quite a bit lately, or started a fic to see how well I like it and safe it for later. Now I also have a HUGE collection of fics to read on my kindle! *g*

Congratulations on so many wonderful stories and nominations.

Thank you - I was really pleased with the nominations as almost everything I have archived there is drabble-based.

Congratulations on the nominations. It feels good to have one's work recognized, doesn't it?

[curiouswombat.livejournal.com]

Thank you - and yes, it does feel good! Especially when my little stories made up of six or seven drabbles are nominated in the same categories as longer works.
