linaewen: (Lords of Gondor by captinskywalker)
I didn't say much about these awards this past year, because this is the first year I have ever tried to be involved in any kind of fanfiction writing awards, and I really didn't know what I was doing for a long time, lol! But I had some of my tales nominated this year, and lo and behold! Today I learned that some of them actually won!

Here is the link to the MEFA site, if you aren't familiar with what it is about:

As I said, I had several tales nominated, and I would have been very happy to have just gone home at the end of the day with the reviews I got for them. It was lovely to have my stories read by a wider audience than they've ever seen before, and to get such encouraging comments as I got, as well. So it was icing on the cake, so to speak, to learn I had won a few awards.

I received recognition in the following areas:

Lords of Gondor won 3rd Place in Genres: Alternate Universe: Incomplete



Waiting by the Water won 3rd Place in Genres: Drama: With Aragorn



Forcing a Path won Honorable Mention in Genres: Drama: The Fellowship



Is that cool, or what?  :-D

It is absolutely cool. But not, you know, undeserved. Because you rock. :-)

I feel rather giddy with excitement for you, actually. It is just so cool to get that kind of recognition! You truly do deserve it.

Oh, what encouraging news. Perhaps this will give you a boost to continue your other writings as you've mentioned you want to do. You have such an amazing talent to share and that you are sharing it with a wider audience makes my heart so glad and full of smiles.

I have been thinking of you so much lately with the weather both physical where you are and also emotional with what has transpired in Pakistan. I have sent little white birds out to you to gladden your heart. Thank you so much for being the sweet inspiring soul that you are. Hugs, Tuile

2008 off to a good start
