A Little Bragging: 2009 MEFA Nominations
Thanks to some very kind people, four of my stories have been nominated for this year's MEFAs. They are as follows:
To Wrap An Elven Princeling. An oldie, but a goodie, written back in 2005. Did you ever wonder how Bilbo's mithril coat came to be in Smaug's hoard? A surprise orc attack puts Thranduil into a crisis, and a very young Legolas must rely on the kindness of strangers. If things weren't bad enough, enter the dragon. Rated PG-13 for one naughty word. Thank you, Ignoble Bard, for the nomination.
The Last Temptation of Legolas Thranduilion. What if Legolas had not gone on the Quest with the rest of the Fellowship? An AU, loosely based on Nikos Kazantzakis's Last Temptation of Christ. Rated R for mildly graphic sexual activity between a married couple. Thank you, Nieriel Raina!
A Man In Full. Charles Herbert Lightoller, former Second Office of the RMS Titanic, reminisces about an enigmatic passenger and his manservant aboard the doomed ship. Rated PG-13 for mild innuendo. Thank you to Elena Tiriel and Aearwen for nominating this story. (This is one of my special favorites, since it allowed me to mix two of my lifetime obsessions: Lord of the Rings and the Titanic.)
As the Night the Day. Written for the birthday of my faithful beta-reader, Ignoble Bard. A young Chicago art student meets a stranger by the lake. Each has a secret. Rated R for mildly graphic m/m sexual activity.
