 |

Greetings all ~
I didn't see a general discussion section in the fan fic department, so I hope this post will be forgiven. As many are probably aware, TheOneRing.net has been working on their 2005 One Ring awards, which covers various layers of the LOTR fandom, from books to actors to the fans themselves.
Well, much to my surprise, my story, "The Last Grey Ship", which is proudly archived here, is one of the finalists in the Fan Fic category!   I'm even more delighted because my fellow contestants are mostly new authors to me - and all are tremendously talented.
So, I would like to point folks to the TORN survey page, where you can vote for your favorites in:
The Official 2005 One Ring Awards by TORn:
http://www.theonering.net/ORCsurvey/
1. Best Tolkien based Lecture or Paper presented at an Academic function
2. Best Tolkien themed book published since the release of FOTR
3. Best Performance by a LOTR actor/actress in a Motion Picture (LOTR Trilogy excluded)
4. Best Performance by a LOTR actor/actress in a TV series, Made for TV Movie or Mini-Series on TV
5. Best Fanfic
6. Best Fan Site Dedicated to a LOTR Actor/Actress
The other 4 stories who made finals with me are all wonderful works, so of course folks must vote their personal preferences. I am honored beyond words just to *be* there, in such august company. My hat is off to my fellow finalists - May luck attend us all! 
That is all. Now I return you to your regularly scheduled discussions. 
Cheers ~
Erin the deliriously happy hobbit |

Oh, definitely read them all! Nothing says I'm gonna win, and I'm delighted that all the stories in finals are such good quality. In fact, three of the stories I'd never seen before, so I got to spend some very happy hours reading them. It really emphazises that I've achieved something, just by being there!
Thanks for the kind word!
Cheers ~

One last note before I head to sleep.
"Last Grey Ship" was not my first fic ever - I wrote 4 or 5 short stories (under another pen name) in the Magnificent Seven fandom about 4 years ago. That was my first LOTR fic, however - and I confess I've always felt that "Grey Ship" came through me, not from me, and I was simply blessed to capture it.
I'm very pleased you are enjoying it!
Cheers ~

I'm still praying to Jesus to somehow get me to Pasadena from all the way up here in Upstate New York.
The Hobbits are being reunited there! I mean, *Lex* *cannot* miss that!
And World Without Sundays too...
Shox...
Ooohhh...maybe more kissing pics with Dom.
