Well, apparently we’re doing this “jump back into Fandom” thing as more of a “high altitude plummet into Fandom”, because I’ve signed up for another challenge (thanks to my Evil Shoulder Angel).
I’m doing Trope Bingo.

Hey, long time, no see… Â >_>
I had to take a break from Fandom–there were some things  that kind of ‘destroyed the joy’ for me and I needed to step away. So I wandered the Earth, having adventures…well, not really Earth, more like Thedas,  Tamriel,  a few Mass Effect relays, a brief career as a test subject at Aperture Labs, and I own way too much property in a Steampunk sim in Second Life. Then Juno tempted me back into writing with Star Trek fic.
I hadn’t finished or posted any fic in four years(!!). I just started to really write again in the past year or so (a few pokes at The Wanderers (LOTR), plus some dabbling in Dragon Age, Doctor Who, and Once Upon a Time), but the Trek fic is the first thing I’ve actually finished and posted since December 2009.
Juno pointed this challenge out to me, so I figured it would be a good way to get back into Fandomy things:

2010 MEFAs – Honorable Mention!
Posted by Aranel under LOTR, MEFA

A Meal Fit for a King won an Honorable Mention in the MEFAs this year! A big thanks to everyone who reviewed the story! Here’s the shiny banner:
That was a surprise. I’d mostly forgotten that I’d entered a story, since I’ve been so wrapped up in writing the new MEFA website. :-\
The subject (Éowyn being a terrible cook) was a Movie-verse thing that annoyed me and it apparently annoyed a lot of other people as well. I’m really glad people enjoyed my little “fix”! 😀

MEFA Results!

The 2009 Middle-Earth Fanfiction Awards has come to an end and I am proud to say that my drabble, Freedom, got Third Place in Genres: Character Study: General Drabbles!
I really enjoyed the reviews I received for this drabble, because they told me that it worked: the reader doesn’t expect Fell Beasts to be sympathetic characters, but I managed to make them so. 😀
Thank you to everyone who wrote a review for this! This is one of my favorite drabbles, so I’m very happy it did so well and received the wonderful comments.
Congratulations to everyone who placed! This was a really tough competition this year, so kudos to you all!
