Good day everyone!
On behalf of the MEFA's I pass on this exciting news!
The 2006 Middle-earth Fanfiction Awards are concluded. Many, many thanks to everyone who participated, including authors and volunteers as well as volunteers who worked so hard to make this year's awards happen.
You can see a full list of this year's winners at our LJ,
http://community.livejournal.com/mefas/16108.html#cutid1
You can also read the reviews left for these stories and access the rest of our site's features at http://www.mefawards.net/MEFA2006/. If you do not have an account you can access many of the features by clicking the "login as guest" link.
In the next few weeks we will begin our annual post-mortem. Was a certain aspect of the awards confusing? Is there a policy you would like for us to consider changing? If so, please email mefasupport@gmail.com. You can also join the Yahoo group mefa-discussion to participate in these discussions.
Thanks again for all of your support of these awards, and I look forward to 2007. 
Marta (MEFA Coordinator)

The MEFA's require an incredible amount of work and dedication.
A big thanks to all of those people who spent so much time and effort to make them possible.

Thanks Rhaps & Co. for all the hard work.
Thanks for those who reviewed. I do have one gripe though... one of my reviewers thought Inglor, while being the name character that became Finrod, indicated a female author...  Not that I'm complaining, a review is a review
Ah the anonymity of the Internet

I've had it a couple of times as well, not so much in the LOTR fandom but in things like UFO and Dr Who, where the majority of writers are male.
