MPAs...

[zhie]

To anyone who nominated me this year for the MPAs:

You may have noticed that anything I was individually nominated for has been taken down from the MPA voting site. Tella and I have had, I believe you might call it, creative differences. So, I thank you for your nominations, but alas, they were for naught in those lands, but personally, they were appreciated. And also, the nomination icon was delicious.

Now, there are still things up there that I co-wrote with others. From the email that Tella sent when I stated I would be boycotting the awards this year:

“if you do indeed choose to boycott, I'll happily remove all your stories. Though I
suspect your co-writers will not be altogether happy about that.”

So, I’ll apologize right now, to anyone I co-wrote with, in the case that those are taken down as well. But, since mine are not there as of this moment, I’m officially and publicly boycotting the MPAs. At first, I wasn’t going to say anything, but now that I’m getting emails asking what is going on, I’m just stating it once for everyone.

I’m not getting into specific reasons why; it comes down to being tired of rule changes every year, and sometimes in the midst of the awards. I’m not asking anyone to take sides; I’m not even asking anyone to boycott with me. This is merely an explanation.

There are a lot of great authors on that list that deserve praise. Actually, each and every single one of them, both on that list, and probably even more so, the ones who are not on that list, for their continued creativity and additions to this fandom or whatever fandom they happen to be in.

(In hindsight, like in Harry Potter how the DADA instructor seems to always mysteriously disappear, so too does the elfling writer for the MPAs. So, I guess the only advice I have for all of you is, DON’T take the position that is now open for the elfling writer over there, lol. On the other hand, this does mean I have some wonderful orphaned elfling stories I’ll be able to share once I edit them…)

Thanks! But voting is difficult! It never says if the vote is received and when I tried to vote for Jana, it went back to my original vote for me. I wonder if the thing works!

Could be just me though

Ignore me... I just figured it out.
