Hey guys, It's Thursday morning (US time) and I have looked at the two polls. Between Yahoo and LJ, 35 people voted: 10 for increasing the nomination limit, 25...
Hey guys, Elena Tiriel posted a question over at the MEFAwards group about series of half-drabbles. Apparently some people write series where each part is...
Works for me. Maybe we could just say "FLF series=series of stories, each of which is written to accommodate a specific word count. The word count restriction...
... I'd be okay with that, within a limit. I find that it's easier to trim words the higher the limit. How about something like FLF = a piece written to be a...
Well if there is enough of them, then yes... I don't see the problem, but I had never heard of them until now! And I write a drabbles a fair bit! If they are...
I like that idea... But I think we'd need to add something like "For example, 100, 200 etc" so we don't get the idiots going "Oh, but I made SURE I only wrote...
... I really, really wish we could trust the fandom not to pull stuff like this. I'm not saying it *wouldn't* happen - I just get frustrated by people who go ...
Don't forget Eleventy-One!! ... I know I've heard of people writing 111 word fics to honor Bilbo's birthday party. It's getting a bit silly here, but I am...
... I don't know how common that is, but I've seen it. Mostly as a challenge. I know the Yahoo group [Henneth_Annun] had a challenge where people wrote ...

Kathy, ... Yeah, that's a good catch. I meant to keep the limit at 500 words. I think this definition is as good as we can make it, and it seems to cover ...
... I was thinking in the summary, and the Liaison would work with them as necessary. As a field, you'd need two 'FLFLength' and 'FLFReason' and it'd be a...
... Hello, I have a request re: drabbles. Would it be possible to separate true 100-words-drabbles from double-drabbles and so forth? In my opinion, it's quite...
Hi Imhiriel, ... In principle, I have no problem with doing this. It's something other people have requested as well. My concern is with the logistics. I know...
Hey guys, I've gone through the 2006 rules and edited them to include some things that we decided in this year's postmortem. You can see them two ways: Method...
Hi Marta, I looked through the rules, but as I highlighted typos and a few other glitches in a Word doc will have to email it to you. So will just ask here: ...
... Sure, that's fine. I see them in my inbox and will try to get to them by tonight at the latest. ... Yeah, good catch. I've added the following to the...
... Hello Marta, sorry for the late reply, but I still have no internet and so have to wait for a little time to go visit an internet café... Yes, I would be...
Hey guys, I'm working on the FAQs and a thought occurred to me. It's slightly different so I thought I'd run it past you. In the past we've required that...
Hey guys, The MEFAs are set to start accepting nominations on June 1. Aranel Took and Tanaqui have been working incredibly hard to get the website ready for...
Marta, I have not much time right now, but I wanted at least to start familiarising myself with the new site. I didn't know whether to answer to the list or to...
I added a story and overall it looks really good! I haven't played with the search things yet because there are just two stories there and so it's hard to do...
Hi Imhiriel, ... Sure. If you have more time later (before June 1) you can always go back to do more. ... Yes, please. If you're a member of this list please...
I tried submitting a poem by someone not on the list, and appear to be caught in a loop. It won't accept the title and story URL and go beyond that. Yet it...
