keilissNicely put together file for the MPAs this year. Because I'm on dialup it took me about an hour to update my Acrobat reader thing and another hour plus to download the ceremony, but it's so well done that it was definitely worth the time spent :)
Wasn't going to post this, but I'm succoming to my lemming-like tendencies. Anyway, it seems a shame not to take the opportunity to use the rather pretty banners :)
Beltane Fireby Keiliss
Category – Ceremony - - 2nd Place
Gildor: No. And that’s my final word on the subject.
Erestor: But come on, don’t be stubborn. You need to get into the spirit of the thing.
G: I don’t need to get into the spirit of anything, Erestor. And I certainly don’t need to appear in public in drag. Especially not if that involves black stockings and six inch heels. I’m here to do a favour for Kei and that’s all there is to it. You won’t catch me dressing up like…like you.
What is that you’re wearing anyway?
E: The green fake fur? Oh really Gildor, no one wears real fur anymore. It’s anti-conservation. I can give you the link to a very interesting website naming the top ten endangered mammals…
G: Ah.
E: Or were you referring to the hat? Very twenties, I thought.
And I don’t see your point. Do you really think you can wander around in biker’s leathers and all that loooong hair and not get noticed? With that bum?
G: What the hell is wrong with my bum?
E: Nothing, nothing. Really rather nice. Pinchable.
G: Pinchable?!
E: Well, some might think so I suppose. Anyway, I think they’re waiting for you. Do you have your notes?
G: Notes??
E: Yes,. notes – for the little speech you’re going to make. Funny remarks, thank yours, that sort of thing.
G: I know what a speech is, Erestor.
E: Yes well, where are your notes?
G: I don’t need notes. Done hundreds of these things.
E: Ah.
Well, off you go. I’ll just stand over here – moral support. Though I’m sure you won’t need it. I’ll be right here. Behind you. Watching.
G: ….watching my rather nice bum, right?
E: That too.
"Ladies and gentlemen. Good evening. My name is …Fred. I’m a friend of Keiliss, who unfortunately can’t be here in person. However she asked me to pass on her thanks to everyone who voted for Beltane Fire, and to say she’s surprised and thrilled that it did so well in such a strong category. She’d like to thank Uli for the beta and Ilye for advice, say how much she appreciates it to everyone who voted for the story, and would of course like to congratulate the winner."
E: (offstage) Is that it? That’s not a speech, it’s a comment.
G: *hisses out of corner of mouth* She wrote it herself. Clear, to the point, well thought out….
E: Oh, she wrote it herself did she? Oh well… *retrieves sheet of notepaper from top of fishnet stocking, tears it into little bits* Yes, I might have got one of those, too. Seem to have mislaid it…

Gildor: You can’t go out there dressed like that!
Erestor: Don’t be silly, it’s a party, these are party clothes…sort of. Anyway, what I wear is nothing to do with you.
G: We’re here together, that makes it my concern. I’m responsible for you…
E: You’re what?? In between perving up every pretty boy/girl/undecided in sight you mean? You have the attention span of a small chicken tonight.
G: Well at least wear a coat – here…
E: I can’t wear leather with this hat, have you no fashion sense? It’ll totally ruin the look.
G: Erestor…
E: Gildor, there is nothing wrong with the way I look – I’ve had compliments all evening.
G: Yes, I'm sure. From people who probably think you’d look better out of your so-called party clothes than in them and want a chance to find out.
E: Get your mind out of the gutter, Inglorion. Anyhow, I don’t have time to stand around chattering to you – I have a speech to deliver.
G: Well I’ll just stick around here to watch – make sure you don’t get yourself into even more trouble.
"Good evening ladies and gentlemen. In Kei’s absence I’m here to say thank you on her behalf to everyone who voted for Midwinter Moon. She’s really thrilled to be placed second after such an illustrious winner - especially as it’s her Ugly Duckling fic, the one she swore she couldn’t write and complained about all the way till in the end, only to find she’d quite fallen in love with it. I personally rather enjoyed it, not least because I had a tiny but amusing cameo appearance near the beginning…"
G: (from offstage) Remember to thank Min.
E: *glares offstage, hisses* Yes, thank you…. FRED. I’m quite aware of who I need to thank…
"Where was I ? Oh yes, the obligatory thank yous. She wanted me to thank Min for originally requesting the pairing of Haldir and Thranduil for the Secret Santa swap, otherwise she would never have thought of writing this. And the person who nominated it, thank you so much for being so sweet. And...
G: *in a loud whisper* Okay, that’s enough. Quit while you’re ahead I always say.
E: *with a sweet smile* Learned that one the hard way, did we?
".. And finally, thank you to the organizers for all their hard work. Now… which way back to the bar?"
