Mithril Awards?

[cdybedahl]

Apparently my story To Sleep, Perchance to Dream has been nominated for something called a Mithril Award, and not been tossed out in the first screening. I vaguely recall someone on my friends list talking about an award by that name, but I really have no idea what it's all about. Could someone please enlighten me? Should I be proud, ashamed or indifferent?

I have seen altariel1 and espresso_addict mention such.

I'm one of the organisers so I'm hardly unbiased, but over 750 stories/poems/essays were nominated, so getting to the semi-finals is an achievement. There's a lot more info (some would say too much) at the awards website, including the lists of last year's finalists/winners.

All right, I'll go for "flattered" :-)

Golly! Congratulations. Go for flattered. Well done, go you! And completely deserving as well as that is a brilliant story.
