Aranel Took's Fanfiction

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”! 😀

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!

I learned about some ridiculous DRAMA! recently over the “stealing” of ideas in fanfic and my partner in crime, , has written up a “fanworks license” for her works. Since I’ve had people ask about creating derivative works of my fanfics, I’d also like to clarify my stance on the issue by shamelessly plagiarizing borrowing Juno’s text to apply to my own works (with some modifications).
