Lady of Shalott
If you haven't seen these yet, there is currently a lot of discussion surrounding the MEFAs:
Ratings and MEFA Eligibility  at the official MEFA community and

tome_awards , an unofficial community set up for discussion of these changes.

Apart from that, you might also want to hop over to tolkienawards , a community for discussion and planning of a new all-encompassing Tolkien fanfic award program, which zhie  has set up! \o/ Volunteers and suggestions are always welcome!


And yesterday was also the International Day of Slash, which I was dragged into and where I at least managed to write 4 ficlets, though both zhie  and lalaith_raina  wrote ten times as much. /o\ You can find all our responses to the challenge here: International Day of Slash 2012


And not only was there IDoS, I also got wonderful news yesterday in a mail from Turbine, where the event CoA proposed was officially accepted by Turbine for their Summer Fun events in LOTRO, which means we'll get official advertising and prizes from Turbine. :D

THIS is going to be amazing. Ell will prance around in his favourite purple dress with the flowers stitched onto it, wearing his flowers in his hair and holding his giant (non-magical) flower in his hand while handing out prizes to people who try to be just as beautiful as him but will invariably fail. Oh, life is so hard when you are as beautiful as Ell. ;_;

/o\ Yeah, well I may have written more but yours was more adorable and precious. Darling Ellonur flitting around and sexy Maglor.

also omfg Ellonur please this is why Gwyndir doesn't want to be a judge he'll be in his hole.

No no darling, don't worry, we'll make you look just as beautiful as Ellonur the Amazing! \o/

No holes for you, how about that pretty moss-colored dress instead? Or, oh! We'll dress you up as a kitten!

He says no dresses. No dresses at all he will wear something fabulous and manly.

;_; How about masquerading as a giant flower?

He is not dressing up as a giant flower, Ellonur.

But he would look pretty! ;_; We could all sniff him! And I'm sure he wouldn't get anyone pregnant!

He's sputtering in outrage at the suggestion that there would even be a possibility that he might impregnate anyone.

You never know, with those giant flowers. ;_;

But he's a person who would be in a flower costume, Ellonur. For him to impregnate he'd have to have sex with a person. He is still fuming and scowling.

But he would be a giant flower then. You know what those do. D: And Eledu would kill me if I sniffed him and he got me pregnant.

You'll come as a giant flower then? :D

What? No! He just gives up arguing he is *not* wearing a flower outfit Ellonur he would look ridiculous.
esteliel

But we could make you look all bright and colorful! Your arms would be leaves, and we'd put a crown of giant petals on your head, dear! \o/

Ellonur, no. I'm not going to wear some tight green outfit with leafy arms and flowers on my head.

Melanie, Gwyndir is totally going to be a flower now, we just need to find a proper mask for him to fit the theme.

Ohhh! Moss-colored leggings tight enough to show off your lovely backside! What a wonderful idea, dear!

(:D How about that Venetian-themed mask Feor linked the other day?)

Re the MEFA's: An announcement here:

Whatever, I am looking forward to Zhie's and being able to nominate and vote without feeling as if I am treading on eggshells.

Thanks, I just saw that as well. It's... certainly one way to end the discussion, though it's questionable whether that really is the best way. After all, she always claimed that all comments were welcome even if she might not be able to look at them until September. And suddenly, that has changed now?

Someone called the discussion "drama" yesterday - this is really the first instance of "drama" I have seen in all of this.

The amazing thing about fandom is that nothing ever ends. Fandom is the community - and if the community wants awards, there will be awards. The Tolkien Awards aren't the MEFAs, but they are all about celebrating the community and creativity.

Indeed. There is a difference between people feeling passionately about something and drama.

The Tolkien Awards aren't the MEFAs, but they are all about celebrating the community and creativity.

They would have more credibility since they are all-inclusive.
