Mithril awards, anyone?
Surely someone will be not bored by this. marigoldg gives us the inside scoop on the wretched festering pit of festeringness that is the Mithril Awards. Except that she's a very polite person and would never put it like that.

Note: No, I don't think the OP is being particularly wanky beyond taking her fandom very seriously. I'm more interested in how the Mithril award people will respond. They seem to be uber-defensive (if we can go by what marigold is saying).

For instance, some anon friend of the Mithrils might come to fandom_wank and say The wank! My eyes! regarding marigold's post. *waves to anons*

[ETA: More links - Marigold's post about EW. A post in which llinos and celandineb duke it out. A mod at the Yahoo group says she's thrown EW out. Hooray!]

[ETA #2: Marigold gets kicked out of the Mithril Yahoo group. She calls for a boycott of sorts: I know it is petty, but it would be nice to see a long opt out list of people who don't want to play - it bothers me that they have this attitude that they are better than everyone else, because they certainly aren't, and we didn't ask for them to declare themselves to be over us. : )

Wow! If all the good writers join the boycott, I'll have a chance to win! MWUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!]

[ETA #3: Oh crap, I said that out loud. >:(]
