MEFAs

The results from the MEFAs came in a couple of days ago, and I'm the lucky recipient of some gorgeous shinies. What are the MEFAs? I hear you cry. They are the Middle-earth Fanfiction Awards. What's nice about the MEFAs is that scoring is done by reviewing: the longer the reviews, the more points for the story. It is a big reading and reviewing annual festival.

There are numerous heroic people involved in running it, but particular thanks must go to: telperion1, who is the main organiser; aranel_took, who designed a new website from scratch for the awards this year; and the wonderful banner makers who made and customised my shinies: ellynn_ithilwen, esteliel, and particularly mrowe, from whom I demanded a shopping list of shinies as long as my arm! Not forgetting the various adminny people who quietly do good work behind the scenes - my thanks to them too.

And I'm hugely grateful to everyone who took time to read and comment on my stories over the past few months: those reviews coming in kept me going throughout an exhausting few months towards the end of last year (some occasional grim moments).

Now, shinies!
