[Rhapsody]

Hi all!

Voting for stories and authors are over. We had an amazing turn-out, and a group of volunteers including myself are busy getting the results ready to post. We hope to do that in a few days. In the meantime, there's one more thing you can vote on: award banners.

Over the past months we have received eighty-four banners created by Nienor Niniel, Rhapsody, and Thevina Finduilas. This is enough to give us a banner in every category. For eighteen of those awards more than one banner was submitted, so we have polls decide which one will be used. The one that gets the most votes will be made available to be used for the final banners.

The polls will run through the end of December 4. As always we use the official timestamp of our website. To see this, go to http://www.mefawards.net/MEFA2006/ and look in the bottom-left corner.

This year the polls to decide this are hosted at our website instead of at our Yahoo group. This is a big change from last year, but we hope it will be much more convenient. You do not need a log-in to our website to vote on this. The polls record your IP address so that the same computer can only vote once.

To vote, please go here:

If you are curious which banners will be given to the winners where only one was submitted, feel free to visit
