2:28 am - What's wrong with the Mithril Awards?
|
alcanazar
|
Before we start the 2007 Mithril Awards, I would like to know what needs fixing.
On my personal list is finding out why the web forms sometimes fail to post.
For most I suspect the biggest issue is that we took too long to finish.
Please, post your thoughts.

We now need to tabulate and review the results.
Some authors may be contacted to clarify issues such as category
preferences. Numerous submissions had been nominated for several
categories. The rules concerning submission limits needs to be
applied now to determine the semi-finalists. This will need to be
done manually and may take some time.

5:37 pm - help
|

theradean

I am looking for a fanfiction that is broken up into named chapters like: A river in Egypt. I remeber the background was light blue and at the top of the main page it had the words "Don't Panic". The character (Penny) was a modern girl who suddenly found herself in middle earth and the main problem is she speaks English and they speak common. she knows a few words in Sinidian(SP?) but not enough to clearly talk to them; but she knows alot of names and some personal histories which is a shock to everyone. Frodo is known as Maura. And she was helped by Halabad (SP?)
I would appreciate any help anyone can give me.
current mood:  tired
