Hey guys,

As we approach the end of the 2009 MEFAs, I wanted to talk about the
different banners you can use as a participant in the MEFAs and where to
get them.

I also want to appeal to any artists out there who would like to add to
our stock of banners, and who may be willing to customize banners for
winners during January.

Banner Makers and Customizers
-----------------------------

First of all, I'd like to thank all the volunteers who helped bring you
the wonderful selection of MEFA banners and buttons we have available so
far this year. Banners were created by Cactuskim, Elea24, Elena Tiriel,
Elleth, Nath, Nieriel Raina, red lasbelin and Viv. There work was
coordinated by Nieriel Raina. A big thank you to all of them for
allowing us to have such a great choice of banners.

If anyone would like to create more banners, please let us know by
emailing us at mefasupport at mefawards dot net. This is so we can
credit you on our website, and so we have your email address so we can
get in touch if need be. Banners uploaded before we are contacted by the
banner-maker may be deleted.

The banner makers listed above are welcome to upload Winners' versions
of banners they've already created, as well as any new banners, to the
photobucket album at http://www.photobucket.com/mefa09w, password: aelfwine

We're also looking for volunteers to customize Winners' banners: as you
may notice the banners in the photobucket albums currently just say MEFA
or Middle-earth Fanfiction Awards and the year. This is where you can
help. When an author wins, if they'd like their banner customized and
aren't able to do it themselves, they will be asked to comment to a post
at our mefas livejournal with what banner they'd like to use. A
volunteer will customize the banner for them. We could always use more
volunteers - that means less work for everyone involved. Basically you
would be adding the place and category/subcategory to banners and
getting them out to grateful authors. If this sounds like something
you'd like to be involved in, please email us at mefasupport at
mefawards dot net and we'll send you more information.

Banners for participants
------------------------

Now, on to the banners! There are three kinds:

---Nominee Banners can be used by any nominated author and can be
displayed on any story nominated in this year's awards. You're welcome
to use as many different banners as you have stories nominated – we hope
that you can find a banner that matches your story from the selection
we've provided.

---Reviewer Banners can be downloaded and can be displayed by any
reviewer who set a Review Target (aka MEFA Junkie target) and reached
it. Again, we have a wide range of Review Banners, so we hope you can
find one you like. The list of reviewers who have achieved MEFA Junkie
status by reaching their target number of reviews can be seen at
http://www.mefawards.net/MEFA2009/index.php?page=FAQjunkie#jun_7

---Story Winner Banners can be used by authors whose stories win an
award (first, second or third place or honorable mention) in this year's
MEFA awards and can be displayed on the winning story. Once the results
of this year's awards have been announced on 3 January, winning authors
will be able to get the Story Winner Banner of their choice customized
with the name of the award they have won. (We'll provide more details
about this after 3 January.) We also hope to have a set of banners that
already include the subcategory and place that you can use immediately.

(Oh, there's also a fourth kind of banner: for MEFA Volunteers. If
you're one of this year's Volunteers and you haven't yet got a Volunteer
banner and would like one, please email us at mefasupport at mefawards
dot net and we'll help you sort out getting one.)

All of this year's banners can be seen at the MEFA photobucket sites:
* banners for nominees: http://www.photobucket.com/mefa09n, password:
celebrimbor
* banners for reviewers: http://www.photobucket.com/mefa09r, password:
daeron
* banners for story winners: http://www.photobucket.com/mefa09w,
password: aelfwine

You may download the banners or use them from the photobucket pages,
whichever you prefer.

There's more information in our Banners FAQ at
http://www.mefawards.net/MEFA2009/index.php?page=FAQbanners but I think
that covers just about everything that needs to be said about banners
for now. Remember that there's just over two weeks of reviewing time
left in this year's awards, so why not reward a good story with a vote
and a review today?

Happy Reviewing!

Hey guys,

Continuing with our (semi-regular) educational posts, today I would like
to draw your attention to some of the types of stories you can vote for
in this year's awards.

When a story is nominated, the author describes it as fitting into three
groups that will eventually become the main categories. These include
the race of the characters involved, the genre, and the time period in
which it is set. Authors rank their preference for how they'd like their
story categorized, and MEFA volunteers put the story into one of these
three category choices.

But perhaps you want to find all the stories involving a particular
genre, such as Drama, not just those competing in the main category for
that race? Or all stories relating to a particular time period or a
particular race, even if they're competing in another category. Our
website lets you do that:

1. Log in to www.mefawards.net/MEFA2009/
2. Click the Stories link at the top of the page.
3. Click the link to show the filter (if it isn't already showing).
4. Click the Clear All Filters button to clear out anything you had
searched on before.
5. Select the race, time period, or genre you would like to see from the
Genre, Race, Time menu.
6. Click the Display selected nominations button.

This will show you all the stories whose authors selected that category
as any one of their three choices. It's a good way to find nearly all of
the stories involving a certain character group, set in a certain time
period, or of the same genre. While I encourage everyone to broaden
their reading habits for the MEFAs, there's also nothing wrong with
starting with the types of stories you find most appealing. Or sometimes
you are simply in the mood for a certain type of story. These filters
can help you in situations like that.

This week, we're listing stories for various kinds of genres -- Drama,
Character Study and Non-Fiction. Character Study is a new category this
year that has attracted a lot of entries and is a great place to find
stories that delve into motivations, while Non-Fiction is home to
thoughtful essays about Tolkien's world.

Hey guys,

Continuing with our (semi-regular) educational posts, this week I would
like to draw your attention to some of the types of stories you can vote
for in this year's awards.

When a story is nominated, the author describes it as fitting into three
groups that will eventually become the main categories. These include
the race of the characters involved, the genre, and the time period in
which it is set. Authors rank their preference for how they'd like their
story categorized, and MEFA volunteers put the story into one of these
three category choices.

But perhaps you want to find all the stories involving a particular
race, such as Hobbits, not just those competing in the main category for
that race? Or all stories relating to a particular time period or of a
particular genre, even if they're competing in another category. Our
website lets you do that:

1. Log in to www.mefawards.net/MEFA2009/
2. Click the Stories link at the top of the page.
3. Click the link to show the filter (if it isn't already showing).
4. Click the Clear All Filters button to clear out anything you had
searched on before.
5. Select the race, time period, or genre you would like to see from the
Genre, Race, Time menu.
6. Click the Display selected nominations button.

This will show you all the stories whose authors selected that category
as any one of their three choices. It's a good way to find nearly all of
the stories involving a certain character group, set in a certain time
period, or of the same genre. While I encourage everyone to broaden
their reading habits for the MEFAs, there's also nothing wrong with
starting with the types of stories you find most appealing. Or sometimes
you are simply in the mood for a certain type of story. These filters
can help you in situations like that.

This week, we're listing stories for a diverse range of Races in
Middle-Earth -- Dwarves, Elves, Hobbits, Men, Other Beings and Villains
-- as well as those stories in Cross-Cultural where the culture clashis
part of the tale.

Hi everyone

I just wanted to post a quick reminder that voting for the 2009 MEFAs
will close on December 31, just a month away.

If you have already started voting: please remember that you need to
edit any of your already-entered votes by that same date. Draft reviews
must be changed over to hidden or final status or they won't be counted;
hidden reviews will automatically be displayed once voting closes, so
you need to change them to draft if you don't want this to happen.

If you haven't started voting, we'd love to have as many participants as
we can get. If you're already a member, log in to our voting website at
www.mefawards.net/MEFA2009/ and start reviewing. If you'd like to be a
member but aren't you can sign up by joining this yahoo group. We'll
then give you a voting account at the voting website. (This is done
manually, so it may take a day or two.)

If you've forgotten your password, you can have it mailed to you using
the link at the voting website (check your spam folder!). If you need
any other help signing up or logging in, just email us at mefasupport at
mefawards dot net.

There's still time to get involved and vote for some of your favorite
stories, but the end of the awards is approaching fast.

Also, please keep in mind that the MEFA day is based on GMT. That means
you must enter all votes by 11:59 PM, GMT on December 31. For reference,
that's Dec. 31, 7 PM in US Eastern timezone.

Hey guys,

Continuing with our (semi-regular) educational posts, this week I would
like to draw your attention to some of the types of stories you can vote
for in this year's awards.

When a story is nominated, the author describes it as fitting into three
groups that will eventually become the main categories. These include
the race of the characters involved, the genre, and the time period in
which it is set. Authors rank their preference for how they'd like their
story categorized, and MEFA volunteers put the story into one of these
three category choices.

But perhaps you want to find all the stories involving a particular
race, such as Hobbits, not just those competing in the main category for
that race? Or all stories relating to a particular time period or of a
particular genre, even if they're competing in another category. Our
website lets you do that:

1. Log in to www.mefawards.net/MEFA2009/
2. Click the Stories link at the top of the page.
3. Click the link to show the filter (if it isn't already showing).
4. Click the Clear All Filters button to clear out anything you had
searched on before.
5. Select the race, time period, or genre you would like to see from the
Genre, Race, Time menu.
6. Click the Display selected nominations button.

This will show you all the stories whose authors selected that category
as any one of their three choices. It's a good way to find nearly all of
the stories involving a certain character group, set in a certain time
period, or of the same genre. While I encourage everyone to broaden
their reading habits for the MEFAs, there's also nothing wrong with
starting with the types of stories you find most appealing. Or sometimes
you are simply in the mood for a certain type of story. These filters
can help you in situations like that.

This week, we're listing all the stories in the later time periods --
Pre-Ring War, Ring War, Post-Ring War and Beyond, Modern Times -- as
well as those that span multiple ages in Multi-Age.

Hey guys,

GamgeeFest has finished her story "Distractions." As such, it's been
moved to a subcategory where it can compete against finished fics. It
was previously in Genres: Longer Works: Incomplete, but is now in
Genres: Longer Works: General.

Any votes you entered for it "carry over" (you don't need to do anything
if you've already voted), but if you are looking for this story you will
need to look for it in its new subcategory.

Marta

Thanks for the thanks, Agape - it does help!

Regarding archives closing down due to real-world issues and so on,
there's a fannish project to try and rescue archives when that happens.

It's run by the Organization for Transformative Works (you can read
about all the other fanfic/fanwork and fan-related things the OTW gets
up to at http://transformativeworks.org/). The archive rescue project is
called "Open Doors" and details can be found at
http://transformativeworks.org/projects/opendoors.

If you know of an archive that's at risk of being shut down, please do
let the person running the archive know about Open Doors. Maybe OTW can
help them keep the archive content online.

My gosh - many thanks to all those involved in this - the MEFA volunteers
are incredible....

Just a small thought on the 'happenings' with regards to websites.

One site that I follow closed down last month due to the mod's RW issues and
such.

One site that a friend follows closed down this month due to that mod's RW
issues and such.

I'm sure there are others that I don't know of and lotrfanfic site's
problems just makes me ponder the future.

I think that we all, myself included, must continue to support and nurture
the sites that we are involved with or post at or read.... notes of
encouragment, perhaps monetary donations, and especially 'activity' at these
sites are paramount to keeping folks who love LOTR and all things related to
it - up and running.... it has been too many years since I read the books
and fell in love with Tolkien's world... but since the movies came out, my
'involvement' has increased exponentially. Others though, have been in the
'field' much longer and can become tired, burnt out, distracted. To keep
these dedicated folks going (and their websites), I think it would behoove
us all to take a moment at least twice a year to say 'huzzah! thank you!' -
I don't think it can hurt.

Again, huzzah and thank you to the MEFA volunteers, those who submit, those
who review, and those who write. I do so enjoy this competition for the
plethora of materials and sites it brings to my attention.

Blessings and happy holidays!

Hi All

I'm sure you'll all be pleased to hear that lotrfanfiction
(http://www.lotrfanfiction.com/) is back online.

I'll be swapping back all alternative URLs that authors supplied, so
that the MEFA site once more links to lotrfanfiction for those stories.

Thanks

The mods of the LOTR GFIC group's archive, "Many Paths to Tread", which
will open to the public January 1st, would like to offer our site as an
option for authors at LOTRfanfiction. All stories *will* have to follow
our ratings guidelines and I'm including the link here for those who are
interested in looking into this. We allow ratings G - R, but we do have
some specific posting guidelines for the type of stories that are
acceptable.    We will not require MEFA authors affected by the problem
to join our group or challenge site in order to post at MPTT. This is an
exception, as currently only members have posting privileges.   However,
we certainly welcome you to check out those groups as well. Also, for
technical reasons, a mod will have to to give new authors posting status
manually, which may take only a few minutes or might take up to a day.
I'm pleased to add that there are some stories nommed at this year's
MEFA's that are already hosted at our archive!   Hopefully,
LOTRFanfiction will be up again soon. In the meantime, feel free to ask
if you have any questions about MPTT. We're pleased to be part of the
fanfiction community and to support one another as writers!   Cathleen,
on behalf of LOTR GFIC moderators   MPTT is located here:

This is a disheartening situation as I love the LOTRFF archive because it allows
for all ratings and any genre to be posted there. Since there is such a wide
range of authors writing in various genres affected, might I recommend those
authors be referred to HASA (which also allows any rating and genre including
slash)? It might be a good alternative, at least to make sure the stories make
it through MEFAs. I know some of those authors don't post elsewhere...

Hi NiRi and Cathleen

I've been in touch with the webmaster at lotrfanfiction. While I
obviously can't speak for her, she's indicated that the donations drive
is likely to be successful enough for her to bring the site back online
in the next few days. Let's hope that's the case!

I also have quite a few stories archived there and I'd hate to see this site
lost! As you've noted, the site hosts any genre and rating. Amazing to consider
the volume it must have reached to have caused such a problem with hosting all

Hi Dreamflower

Thanks for bringing the issue with http://www.lotrfanfiction.com/ to our
attention.

I've just checked the site and there is now a message explaining that
they have exceeded the resources allowed for their hosting package and
asking for donations to keep the site running. There's still no
indication when/if the archive will be available again.

> What would be the MEFA policy on stories that were properly available at
> nomination time, but then later on become unavailable through no fault of
> the author?

These stories continue to compete in the MEFAs. Where possible, we do
what we can to ensure they are not disadvantaged, such as switching URLs
   to a different site where the author can supply us with that.

At present, there are 29 stories affected. These are by 12 authors:
Ignoble Bard, Kenaz, chaotic_binky, j_dav  (JDE), Midnight, Beruthiel's
Cat, Faoiltierna, Pink Siamese, Esteliel, callerofcrows, Formegil and
Naltariel.

I will be emailing all of these authors later today to let them know
about the situation and to ask them to supply alternative URLs. However,
if you're on the list, please feel free to email us before then at
mefasupport-at-mefawards-dot-net and provide us with alternative URLs
for your stories. If you do not have the story archived elsewhere,
please also feel free to contact us at the same email address and we'll
do what we can to find another place for you to archive.

(Thanks also to Angmar for suggesting a way to possibly find the stories
in the short term by searching through Google and using the cached version.)

Dreamflower,

I just checked the Internet Archive, and at this time, that site  has not
picked up pages from LOTRFF since 2007. The Google cache method  would be
more reliable for recently updated sites, but not every page of a story  may be
picked up by Google. At least something will be available, though.

I too, have several stories there, though I've not uploaded them all yet.
But what concerns me is the MEFAs, since it's possible there is no other way
to access some of the nominated stories that are archived there.  I know
I've already left reviews for a few of them, and have others on my wish
list.

What would be the MEFA policy on stories that were properly available at
nomination time, but then later on become unavailable through no fault of
the author?

There is a way to retrieve stories from LOTRFF, even though the archive is
currently down. You can either search for the name of your story on Google
and  then click "Cache," or go to _http://www.archive.org/index.php_
(http://www.archive.org/index.php)  and  paste in the address. The Internet
Archive
site will give you a list  of update dates for which you searched; click on
the most recent  date. The good thing about the Internet Archive is that
you can follow most  of the links on a page that is no longer online, while on
Google, you can only  access cached copies of the pages that come up in the
search.

I hope that Lord of the Rings Fanfiction comes back and will be able to
continue and expand.

Hey guys,

Continuing with the weekly educational posts, this week I would like to
draw your attention to some of the types of stories you can vote for in
this year's awards.

When a story is nominated, the author describes it as fitting into three
groups that will eventually become the main categories. These include
the race of the characters involved, the genre, and the time period in
which it is set. Authors rank their preference for how they'd like their
story categorized, and MEFA volunteers put the story into one of these
three category choices.

But perhaps you want to find all the stories involving hobbits, not just
those competing in the Hobbits main category? Our website lets you do that:

1. Log in to www.mefawards.net/MEFA2009/
2. Click the "Stories" link at the top of the page.
3. Click the link to show the filter (if it isn't already showing).
4. Click the "Clear All Filters" button to clear out anything you had
searched on before.
5. Select the race, time period, or genre you would like to see from the
"Genre, Race, Time" menu.
6. Click the "Display selected nominations" button.

This will show you all the stories whose authors selected that category
as any one of their three choices. It's a good way to find nearly all of
the stories involving a certain character group, set in a certain time
period, or of the same genre. While I encourage everyone to broaden
their reading habits for the MEFAs, there's also nothing wrong with
starting with the types of stories you find most appealing. Or sometimes
you are simply in the mood for a certain type of story. These filters
can help you in situations like that.

*blush* Yes - that was me in a rush to get out the door, and doing a
poor job o editing. You're right. Draft reviews are *not* counted.


For the interested - this is told more thoroughly (and in a more
polished format) in the FAQs.

Yep.  I've done a bunch (for me, it's a bunch) but still have a bunch
more on my wish list.  I doubt I'll be able to get to them all, but I
need to get back in the groove of doing one or two a night and see how
far down the list I can get.

This is a good reminder of the limits of this system during the voting
season!  It's tempting to think "Nobody likes me" when you don't see a bunch
of reviews popping up.  But obviously that's not true.

It's also a reminder that time's passing and there is less than two months
left-- and that the busiest time of year (in both RL, and in fandom) is
coming up!  Waiting until December to review might mean you won't get to do
as many  as you want to!

Again, not wanting to nudge people into the directions of any particular
stories-- but some might want to take a look at the review status
story filter: there is a filter for 2 or fewer reviews, and one for 0
reviews.  This could be helpful to those who might want to spread their
reviews among some of the lesser known stories.
