Just to tell you (because they have such a weird way of notification):

Nine Riders has reached the semifinals of the MITHRIL AWARDS in "Best Vignette or Short Story" and "Best Characterization Minor Character"

Memory of Ents has reached the semifinals in "Concerning Hobbits" and "Best Gapfiller"

The Ringbearer and the Rose has reached the quarterfinals in "Concerning Hobbits" and the semifinals in "Best Characterization - Tolkien Character".

Bravo, my friend... and Good Luck for the finals!

P.S. Winterfire, Before I go to sleep, Sun on the Water and Fear no more have also made it to the semifinals. *shakes head*

(I would have sent you an emai, but I have a strange problem with my email provider)

I'm really unfamiliar with the Mithrils, it must be confessed! Do semifinalists have a better chance at the finals or quarterfinalists and where do I go to look to see who else got that far?

Thanks for translating the very odd e-mail though. I hope your ISP starts behaving!

Those who have actually reached the semifinals will now only have to go through a last judging to actually win an award. The next notification you'll get will tell you that you are a winner - if one of your semifinalist tales has made it through. And your chances are very good, I'd say.

Have a look here:

Ooops. You are officially allowed to label me an idiot.

Okay, one more time:

First: the nominations. I was a judge this year, practically sorting out those tales that didn't fit with the rules (grammar, spelling, canon, category).

Second: the quarterfinals. Next filter to narrow the number.

Third: the semifinals. To reach them is quite a success, but not the end of the contest.

Fourth: the finals. Normally there are only four or five tales left, if your tale has reached that stage. And if it wins here, it really has won the award.

*wipes brow*
