Galvorn Awards now taking nominations. Not so serious awards for fanfiction (read the catagories, you'll understand)
WARNING: some of the stories are slash, especially the adult ones. GREAT writing though... you have been warned

Are you a member of Elf Fetish, Inglor? How did you get to hear about the Galvorns?

| Ithilwen and Zimraphel have been pimping them on LJ, too. The Galvorns sound like a lot of fun, a refreshing change from all the "serious" fic awards. I think hobbit fics have a similar award ... Golden Mushrooms? All very tongue-in-cheek. Or tongue in somethin. |

Where did you hear about these?! Where have they been hiding?! I feel like I've hit the jackpot! -- I hope this is the correct English expression, I'm known for twisting your sayings my own way  !
I've been checking some of the previous nominations ... wonderful stories. And I love their categories!
Good quality fic ... and great authors with a sense of humor. I'm in heaven  !

Oh well. I went to the site and browsed through the categories...

Oh my God. I just love that category! And that combined with "the most plotless"... it should have all the ingredients of a great story...
... the winners of these awards are definatly worth a read. |

~Most Sexually Intimidating Villain
THAT will assuredly be my favorite. 
But just in case people didn't notice, it's for stories set before the end of the Second Age. Bad news for the LotR fans, but excellent news for us Silm groupies. |

Ahhh, the thought of a well written Annatar/Sauron story makes me all tingly

Must admit that was the one that grabbed my attention as well

Do I have an elf fetish? Yes, but not like most of those writers. Am I a member? No. But to answer your question, it was posted on the Silmfics group on Yahoo groups.
Ithilwen told me in an email that she hoped that some of you guys would nominate your stuff over there. For those of you not familiar with the awards, it is ok to nominate your stuff, I offered up Catharsis for Best Whoriquendi and Worst Character Assassination. The judges seem to be pretty cool and unsnobby b/c they allowed my stuff on there. My writing has improved but I couldn't change the chamber pot for some of the writers there (Tyellas, Zim, Finch, etc.).
Its a great way to poke fun at yourself and harmlessly poke fun at others.
Andreth, how is the new and improved Veiled Light coming?...

Okay, so how do you get to read the stories? There was a link to last year's awards, but several of the links were broken, or busy, or something.

FF.net has changed servers or something and not reconnected the links, I have the same problem even in my favorites file. You will have to search on FF for them or go to the author's site. The nominees for this year's awards are Here

I just looked for the authors in FFN and found the stories without any problems.
