The voting for the Middle-Earth Fanfiction Awards is complete as of yesterday, and I am happy to say I made my reviewing goal!  That's not to say it was a very high goal, nor that I reviewed everything I wanted to, alas!  Even though there was plenty of time for reviewing, I still got behind and sidetracked by the RW, and ran out of time at the end.  Thankfully, I can still read all those tales I didn't have time for, but I feel bad that I didn't get a chance to review them when it might actually count in ways other than general encouragement!

I had four tales of my own nominated and I am flabbergasted to learn that they all won an award!  *grins uncontrollably* 

Here's how I did in the 2008 MEFA's:

Fennas Haradren received First Place in Genres: Adventure: General
Feet That Wander received First Place in Races: Cross-Cultural: General
A Great Evil Unmade received Second Place in Genres: Alternate Universe:
Steward's Family
The Best Sword Ever received Third Place in Times: Mid Third Age: General

When I get my award banners for these tales, I'll post them so that they link to the stories themselves.  :-)

In other news, I totally have laryngitis.  I can talk, but I never know whether sound will come out or not.  It's quite amusing, actually.  I am now entering Day 4 of this burden.  It makes it hard to squee over my MEFA blessings when I can hardly eke out a squeak.  ;-)

Hurray! Congratulations! All I can say is there must have been some stiff competition for "The Best Sword Ever" that two were selected ahead of it. I love that one.

I hope your voice returns so squeeing can ensue!

Miss you! *hugs!*

Horray for Awards! That is awesome. Boo for laryngitis. That really sucks. Day 4 is even more not good.

Oh, I am so pleased and happy about your awards! Can't wait for the linking banners, I want to bookmark them all.

I am so sorry to hear about your cold. I remember you writing recently about your flu shot. That reminded me that I needed to get one so hubby and I did and I proceeded to get sick from it. Up and down, up and down -- Would get real sick for a couple hours then it would go away and then come back again and then wane. It was like a roller coaster the whole week before Thanksgiving, each time I'd come back a little stronger. It's going to be a doozy of a flu season!
