This thread is being established, per an email exchange ~nólemë~ and I had, as a place to announce and promote Tolkien fanfiction awards and contests.

Please spread the word about such events by commenting to this thread.

“I think I'm... quite ready for another adventure.”
- Bilbo Baggins: Return of the King

As you may or may not have heard, the Middle-earth Fan Fiction Awards have come to a close. Whereas the MEFA archives will remain active for general perusal, the awards themselves will no longer take place. However, a group of former MEFA participants have begun the process of building a new readers' choice awards for the Tolkien fandom.

The Tales of Middle Earth Awards present the entire Tolkien fan community an opportunity to help build an award system from the ground up, and be a part of this evolution of our collective pastime.

Those of you that would like to see how the new awards are developing may join us at the ToME Awards Planning community on Live Journal (http://tome-awards.livejournal.com/).


You do NOT have to sign up for a (free) Live Journal account to view and comment; anonymous posting is allowed in the group, though we like to know your fannish name if you enter discussion.

Additionally, Open ID will allow you to leave signed comments on our LJ community just as if you had a LiveJournal account. If you use Gmail, Yahoo!, Blogger, Myspace, Flickr, AOL, or WordPress, you likely already have an Open ID! More information on Open ID can be found at http://openid.net/

Sound like a fun way to celebrate our fandom? We’d love your help!

To volunteer, please visit the Welcome Post at http://tome-awards.livejournal.com/24431.html, and then stop by the Volunteer Roles thread at http://tome-awards.livejournal.com/3611.html to see where your individual talents could be of best use.

The Volunteer Pool at ToME is looking forward to your participation and questions.

Thanks for reading!

Our CoE now has a sort-of contest as well. Starting with April, each month a fanfic from our archive (a new submission or an old one) will be chosen as Fanfic of the Month, and featured on the front page.

This month's winner is a March submission from the Hobbit Movie category: "Tattoo Artists" by Lillianpost.

Any CoE member can suggest a fanfic from our archive as a next Fanfiction of the Month candidate. The only requirement is that you can't suggest a fanfic you yourself wrote, and that you present a reason for your choice. You can suggest a fic either here or by PM.
