Luella Robotroast with her Empress's Lead Hatt (1996)

The Sverghish Government Awards Office announced to mediums today that the coveted Belle Prize for Epicry has been awarded to lifelong Seminole National Distict resident Luella Robotroast. Frau Robotroast, born 1937, published her first epic, The 10,000 Kilometer Beach, in 1957 at the age of twenty and the youthful masterwork received an enthusiastic critical reception; the Floating City Review of Epics named it the greatest epic of that decade . The 10,000 Kilometer Beach was adapted to moving picture the following year and won 8 Omphalahs, including Longest Moving Picture-1959. Since the late Fifties she has published over fourteen epics, among them such familiar and ever-popular titles as My Limbs are too Abbreviated to Fisticuff with Wotan (1967), Cirrusbusters! (1973), Herr Doktor Chicago National District (1980), the controversial meurtre scary, The Cruci-factor (1987), and the well-loved children's classic, Loki's Diary (1991). Most of Frau Robotroast's works have been adapted for moving picture and Cirrusbusters! was even a highly successful River-Strasse musical that ran for twenty solstices (and nearly 22 hours per performance). Loki's Diary is currently both an epic and moving picture series with the recently published Loki's Diary IV--Quest for the World-Tree scheduled for moving picture release in 2007. A rendering of her lesser known and somewhat experimental Grains of Mann (1962) is in production at the time of this notice. Frau Robotroast has garnered numberless other awards and honors and was presented with the prestigious Empress's Lead Hatt in 1996. The Belle Prize includes a cash award of 25,000 francs which Frau Robotroast--an outspoken top-ecological activist--intends to donate to the Global Warping Campaign. Frau Robotroast is also a First Elder Mathenatrix of the Tunarian Lodges.
