2007 Kerth Awards Ceremony

View the side by side logs of past ceremonies!
Please be patient while they load.

2003 | 2004 | 2005 | 2006

Stay tuned for the 2007 awards to be held on
Saturday, March 31st at 6pm EST

Be sure to join us! We'll be on an Undernet server on:

#kerthawards (the moderated ceremony channel)

and also in #kerthchat (for everyone to chat with each other while watching the ceremony)

Also, don't forget to download the wavs that will be used during the ceremony!

Listening to the sounds is half the fun!! Download them here:

http://www.lcficmbs.com/kerthawards/sounds.html

Remember: #kerthawards will be a moderated channel, so only the emcees, the presenters, etc. will be able to talk in that channel. But definitely join everyone in the crowd channel, #kerthchat, where everyone will be talking excitedly before, during, and after the ceremony! But hold onto your hats! The scroll can be fierce. :)

We look forward to seeing you there! But if you can't come, a log of the ceremony AND of #kerthchat will be posted here, and probably on the fanfic Archive, so you can read everything that happened. :)

#KerthAwards
#KerthChat
the "onstage" portion of our show the "kicking back with friends and throwing popcorn at the stage" part of the evening
<MetroRhodes> Yes, exactly
<sistersue> And it's a good one, DJ! Hi Yvonne!
<JulieS> Conny, you'll catch on ;)
<ChiefPam> Auntie! :)
<sistersue> I didn't prepare anything. No jinxes
<JulieS> usually it's not as fast paced as it is on kerth night
<YConnell> hey :)
<Shayne> yeah
<ChiefPam> Yeah, Kerth nights is like the normal night times ten...
<Shayne> 4 screens at once is a little much
<jojo_da_crow> wait did we have to write one for the presentaion?
<MrsMosley> four?
<Shayne> ya
<MrsMosley> didn't have to jojo, I just didn't want to wing it
<MrsMosley> I don't think well on the fly
<Shayne> kerthawards, kerthchat,loisclark, lanekent
<jojo_da_crow> LOL I don't even know what I am supposed to. LOL
<jojo_da_crow> maybe i should figure that out
<MetroRhodes> Me either - Sue does <g> but not me. <g>
<sistersue> I do what?
<MetroRhodes> Think well on the fly. <g>
<sistersue> huh?
* sistersue winks
<MetroRhodes> LOLS
<MrsMosley> loisclark has been empty every time I've popped in there lately
<suez> whose fly?
<ChiefPam> Think well about flies?
<Shayne> don't think about people's flys
* MetroRhodes claps her mouth shut
<MrsMosley> yeah, it's not polite
<Shayne> oops, too late
* sistersue snorts
<Qex> We do try and get together on tuesday nights, those...
<MetroRhodes> Yay 24 minutes and counting!!!
<Qex> though, not those.. I'm terrible tonight
* MrsMosley is bouncy
<Qex> :-)
* sistersue seriously is going to be sick from nerves and excitement
<YConnell> aw, S!
<Doranwen> awwww
<jojo_da_crow> okay so, do yvonne do i need to do anything special as a presenter?
<sistersue> look pretty
<jojo_da_crow> lol
<jojo_da_crow> well i can pretend i look pretty
<sistersue> don't trip
<MetroRhodes>
<suez> no misspelled words
<MrsMosley> hah!
<ChiefPam> Do *not* joke about dropping the envelope
* jojo_da_crow is still in her pj's but will pretend she is in a ball gown
<ChiefPam> seriously
<Doranwen> don't forget where the envelope IS
<MrsMosley> My spelling is awful on IRC
<Doranwen> lol
<MetroRhodes> LOL!
<Doranwen> know about the red blinking window!
<Doranwen> ahead of time <g>
<ChiefPam> lol, Doran
<MrsMosley> Ummm... that reminds me.... where do the presenters get the envelope?
<BriGal> hi, everyone that came in!
<jojo_da_crow> No but seriously... like do i need to have a speech or something
<MetroRhodes> It pops up at the top like a chat window.
<MetroRhodes> Right?
<sistersue> arrrrgh! I'm on call this weekend and MY PAGER JUST WENT OFF!
<MrsMosley> NOOO!
<MetroRhodes> NOOOOOO! Sue! No!
<JulieS> Jo jo, most presenters write their speech to make the presentation more interesting
<suez> jojo, some people write up first, then cut and paste to save time
<ChiefPam> stuff it under a pillow, quick!
* MrsMosley crosses her fingers that its a false alarm
<jojo_da_crow> ok
<jojo_da_crow> i have 20 minutes then :)
<JulieS> so you think ahead of what you want to say, any jokes to insert, etc
<KSaraSara> DAVEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
<SasSpeech> how to stall saying who wins :D
<Doranwen> hehe
<Doranwen> that's a classic one
<JulieS> LOL Sas
<Dave7> and the long drawn out pauses as you wait for the winner to be announced - all planned
<Dave7> Sara!!!!
<Doranwen> yup yup
<SasSpeech> but we're not that evil, are we? <g>
<ChiefPam> hah
<Doranwen> rofl
<MetroRhodes> LOL! Long pause
<ChiefPam> Just don't netsplit
<Dave7> of course you are <g>
* Doranwen agrees
<MetroRhodes> How can you avoid a netsplit?
<Doranwen> very evil ;)
<Doranwen> I have all sorts of proof of this
<MrsMosley> what the heck is a netsplit?
<jojo_da_crow> okay i can explain again
<Doranwen> you did a good job
<suez> a net split is when we all sit apart somewhere in space
<MetroRhodes> SUE? Are you still with us? Was it a false alarm?
<jojo_da_crow> the network of undernet is made up of a lot of different servers
<jojo_da_crow> they all connect together to form the network
<jojo_da_crow> every so often one or more servers will split off from the others
<sistersue> I called and got their voice mail - I told them to call me back if it was a TRUE emergency. Otherwise I would just check in again on Monday.
* Dave7 stops paying attention, lest he be educated
<MetroRhodes> You watch - it will probably happen to me right in the middle of my presentation. <g>
<jojo_da_crow> creating "two" networks...
<Doranwen> rofl Dave
<jojo_da_crow> so all the people on that one server will be in a channel by themselves
<MrsMosley> I'm just praying the internet doesn't kick me off at a crucial moment.
<MetroRhodes> Yay Sue!
* BriGal grins
<jojo_da_crow> and everyone else will be in a channel by themselves
<MrsMosley> oh yuck jojo
<BriGal> the internet has already kicked me at a crucial moment
* BriGal blahs
<Doranwen> lol
<Qex> :/
<jojo_da_crow> so an ircop (one of the big ops) has to go in and reconnect the server
<Doranwen> 'sall good now, though, so far
* sistersue has a dirty mind - when did it kick you off, BriGal?
<BriGal> 45 m ago
<BriGal> afk a min
* Dave7 starts paying attention again, 'cause he thinks he knows what Sue is talking about
<jojo_da_crow> hahaha
* sistersue snorts Dave got it
<MetroRhodes> LOL
<sistersue> Never leave me hanging with "crucial moment" <g>
* Dave7 grins
<BriGal> sorry,m had chicken hands
<BriGal> well, wasn't a crucial moment, but we were left without ops
<Conny> I don't know how that happened, I got lost...
* BriGal changes topic to 'Welcome to the 2007 Kerth Awards! The awards will start at 6pm EST. 12 minutes!'
<Dave7> oh, damn
* Dave7 needs to find his tie
<Psychofurbal> Hey Everone!
<Dave7> can't find the bowtie - will a real tie do? <g>
<LaraMoon> if the design on the tie is loud, you're fine
<MetroRhodes> LOL
<ChiefPam> lol, Lara
<BriGal> \ /me giggles
<sistersue> I think he looks dashing, don't knock the tie
* MrsMosley puts on her sparkly tiara
<Dave7> well... it's bright red <g>
* MetroRhodes puts on slinky green dress
<ChiefPam> But did you steamroller a clown over it?
<LaraMoon> we've all got Superman crowns here. LOL
<MetroRhodes> Lol
<ChiefPam> we have certain standards
<sistersue> So flannel PJ pants are out?
<MetroRhodes>
<Dave7> no, clown, but... uh...
* Dave7 puts on his loudest shirt
<LaraMoon> Sue - if Clark is in your closet still, then PJs are fine. <g>
<sistersue> wow - I can see that shirt from here
<ChiefPam> lol
<MetroRhodes> LOL!!!
<sistersue> heh
<MetroRhodes> He's not in her closet... unless she took him with her
<sistersue> If Clark was in my closet I wouldn't be wearing, uh, flannel.
<MetroRhodes> No kidding!
<LaraMoon> *lol*
<YConnell> Just to warn you - I'm a bit rusty on IRC stuff, so apologies in advance if there are a few technical hiccups <g>
<MetroRhodes> *hic*
<Doranwen> hehe
<KSaraSara> oh me too <g>
<LaraMoon> *ups*
* BriGal grions
* YConnell looks suspiciously at MR: have you been drinking?
<MetroRhodes> Not yet... <g>

<YConnell> D!
<AnnaBtG> hey everyone!
<Nan> I hope those sounds were enough for now, DJ
<MetroRhodes> Yay! Thanks Nan!
<Nan> You're welcome. I like to collect Lnc sounds as often as I can.
<BriGal> I should know better than to cook on Kerth night...
<Doranwen> lol
<MetroRhodes> Did you burn the rice AGAIN?!
<Nan> That's a recipe for disaster
<Doranwen> rofl
<ChiefPam> Almost requires a kitchen crusade! <g>
<MrsMosley> cook on Kerth night? Blasphemy!
<MetroRhodes> LOL!
<Nan> ouch!
<LaraMoon> cook? what's that?
<Daisymay390> lol
<KSaraSara> lol
<MetroRhodes> Oooo 9 minutes and counting!!!
* Qex doesn't have a kitchen, so cooking is out any day
* LaraMoon only knows how to make 4 things...
<BriGal> I didn't burn the rice3 the first time! Just the water
<ChiefPam> lol
<MrsMosley> do they all require chocolate?
<Nan> Clark can clean my fridge any day. It needs a superman to fight off the inhabitants.
<MetroRhodes> Oh, that's right - pardon.
<BriGal> no, the cabbage is slightly brown
<MetroRhodes> Eeeeoooo!
<MetroRhodes> I bet your house smells lovely.
<MetroRhodes> <g>
<Nan> lol
<MetroRhodes> Ahhh, the smell of burnt cabbage on Kerths night...
<LaraMoon> Lisa - yeah... so I don't cook, being as though I'm trying to be on a diet....
<BriGal> the chicken overpowers the cabbage
<BriGal> lol
<Nan> I have 2 teenagers who stuff things into the back and forget about them ...
<MrsMosley> *snort*
<jojo_da_crow> <MrsMosley> ahh, cooking's overrated anyway Lara
<Nan> How nostalgic.
<JulieS> LOL!
<BriGal> lol
<sistersue> My son explodes things in there and doesn't clean it up.
<MetroRhodes> Yeah, purple stuff, right Sue?
<LaraMoon> chemestry experiments?
<Nan> What kid does?
<MetroRhodes> Did you ever figure out what it was?
<sistersue> That's right - something purple and very sticky
<MetroRhodes> LOL
* ChiefPam prefers not to think about the back of her fridge...
<sistersue> That only works for so long, Pam. Then it gets scary...
* CatBru pants heavily
<Meowoof> Can someone help me with these sounds - or check to see if they work. All I get is beeps.
<CatBru> Did I make it?
<Meowoof> JoJo, did you get the sounds?
<AnnaBtG> yes, Cat! :)

<Doranwen> Ahem, sorry there, folks.
<Doranwen> The category of Best Super Short is for those stories which fit a size limit of 1-10 kb. They're perfect for a quick read as you scarf down your breakfast in the morning, get dressed, and do your hair.
<Doranwen> They range from funny bits that have us clutching our sides in laughter to waffy mini-passages that make us sigh happily. For the fanfic addict who can't afford the time for longer amounts, these bite-size portions are the little doses of fic that can get you through the day.
<Doranwen> This year, the nominees for Best Super Short are:

<Kaethel> and now that this Kerth-Coordinator is finally on the right page of her program...here's Rachel presenting our next Award: Best Short Story.
<Kaethel> possibly <g>
<Psychofurbal> Thanks Kae! :)
<Psychofurbal> Using heartfelt emotions and descriptive words, the stories presented here are concise, and depict an--
<YConnell> Rach, you there?
<Psychofurbal> Sorry stage fright
* YConnell offers Rach a glass of water
* Psychofurbal drinks it
* Psychofurbal stares timidly at the audience
* YConnell gives Rach an encouraging pat on the back
* Kaethel wonders if *water* is the best remedy...
<YConnell> Who says it was really water?
* Psychofurbal Hiccups
<Psychofurbal> Ooo better now!
<Psychofurbal> Okay let's get this party on the road!
<YConnell> There you go. Amazing what 'water' will do to a girl
<Psychofurbal> Using heartfelt emotions and descriptive words, the stories presented here are concise, and depict an--
* Ruth whispers kiiiilll in Rach's ear
<Psychofurbal> ....and depict an element
<Ruth> Kill
* Psychofurbal swats hand at ear
<Psychofurbal> ...known to short stories. What makes these fics super--
* Ruth hisses killllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
* Psychofurbal lets out an exasperated sigh
<Psychofurbal> ...is they can deliver a waff or a wham, maybe even some comedy in a short amount of time.
<Ruth> Die, die, die!
* Psychofurbal looks up to the sky asking god to send down a lighting bolt to kill her.
* Psychofurbal gets hit by lighting bolt
* Psychofurbal blows out a puff of smoke and mumbles
<Psychofurbal> Anyway, where was I...
<Ruth> You were presenting the nominees.
* Psychofurbal looks to the right and sees Ruth.
<Psychofurbal> How the hell?!
* Ruth waves
<Psychofurbal> Oh, so now you want to come out and play? You're just like all the other muses - never around when you're needed, then you show up at the most inconvenient times wanting to play.
* Ruth tugs on Rach's sleeve and begs to write a fic
<Psychofurbal> No, you're strictly a video muse.
<Psychofurbal> As I was saying before...
<Ruth> But I wanna kill Lois nooooww!
<Psychofurbal> Now is really not the time or place to be talking like that! There are witnesses!
* Psychofurbal eyes and nods her head to the audience
<Ruth> Since when did you care? Last time I remember, you laughed with glee when we did such things.
* Psychofurbal gives Ruth a knowing look
<Psychofurbal> Not *now*. If you don't wait, they'll be killing no one *ever*.
* Ruth storms off to sulk
* Psychofurbal sighs and roll eyes her eyes, tossing her speech notes off to the side
<Psychofurbal> Might as well forget the speech now and just get to onto the Best Short Story nominees...

<Kaethel> maybe with our next category? Saskia might be convincing enough and make you speak... Here is she to present the Best Mid-Length Story Award.
<SaskiaK> Best Mid-Length Story. One of my favourite categories. Not too long or short, but just ideal for an hour or two of reading pleasure. Some of it is waffy, others have a nice A-plot, and there are some with both. So I adore this category. And that's why I think it's time more stories are written for it.
<SaskiaK> No one is against more stories, right?
<SaskiaK> I thought so.
<SaskiaK> Now, let me run a few ideas past you. Maybe it strikes your fancy and it will leave me happy knowing more is being written. I think it'd be nice to wake up in a few hours and find out someone actually already took my little ideas.
<SaskiaK> So... Have you ever wondered what would happen if Lois had said 'I do' to Lex? And that they'd live together for years, bringing a huge bridge between Lois and Clark? Before Lois would become President of the United States? And maybe some huge disaster would happen, like Nightfall?
<SaskiaK> Or... hey, that's actually not a bad idea! Ever thought about what goes on during the airing of an episode of Lois & Clark? So maybe you could write about that, with your own idea for an episode. I bet that would be a lot of fun!
<SaskiaK> Maybe a little revelation story is an order too. Like, ehm... just after WWW? Get Lois and Clark chained up in some old run down building with a bomb about to explode? Guaranteed revelation. And to build up the tension, you could put them on a stake out, together, in an apartment where they just have to talk. Mind you, I'd like more than talking to happen. <g>
<SaskiaK> Or Lucy comes back to stay with Lois again and she tries to make Lois jealous enough to admit her feelings for Clark? You could throw in a little A-plot here, like, say, Lex? And a revelation? It's about time for little kitchen encounter as well. Nekkid Clark rules!
<SaskiaK> Ahem, sorry, I got a little carried away. But who wouldn't...
<SaskiaK> Ooh hey, I just got another idea. Last one for tonight, I promise! I didn't hand out any ideas for waffy just yet. Maybe Lois and Clark could go to an engagement party and Lois could get all upset about not having found her Shining Knight on the White Horse yet and having her happily ever after. Of course, Clark is there to comfort her and ehm... yeah, make it waffy.
<SaskiaK> Any takers yet?
<SaskiaK> What do you mean, they've already been written? You mean I could already go and read about them? Wow! Erm, excuse me for a while then, I have to see for myself and probably be off to read them all.
<Kaethel> LOL! Don't you dare!
<SaskiaK> Whoops! Sorry! Got a bit sidetracked. But now that you mention it, they really do sound familiar!
* SaskiaK thinks really hard for a moment.
<SaskiaK> Yeah, I already read those. And do you know just where? Right here! Guess that's what I'm here for. To present this award. Right?
<SaskiaK> So on to our fantastic nominees. With all those great ideas out there, it was really hard to make a choice. But we can only have one winner - barring a tie - and one of these stories will be it. Who will it be?
<SaskiaK> Will it be Paul's hilarious The Inside Scoop?
<SaskiaK> Or the waffy Longings of the Heart by Erin?
<SaskiaK> Maybe it's going to be the amazing The Next Step by Sue.
<SaskiaK> How about Shayne's ingenious Nocturne?
<SaskiaK> And lastly, there is the witty Novel Idea by Metro Rhodes.
<SaskiaK> I'll go straight to the winner now. No lousy distractions of glasses, falling envelopes, cutting fingers, fainting, coughing fits, getting sick or something equally annoying. You know, I could try falling asleep... neah, I'll keep that for some future year.
<SaskiaK> So, without further ado, the winner is...
<SaskiaK> Longings of the Heart by Erin Klingler

<jojo_da_crow> So tonight I have the honor of presenting one of my favorite categories: Best Waffy Story.
<jojo_da_crow> These are the stories that make you cry a little, make you sigh a little, and make you believe that just maybe there really is such a thing a soul mates and love at first sight.
<jojo_da_crow> These stories are like crack to us romantics and I'm glad we have quite a few ìwaff dealersî on the boards.
<jojo_da_crow> I know I've personally spent way to much time refreshing the boards hoping for one of these stories to pop up. ^_~
<jojo_da_crow> Tonight we have 6 great stories that fall into this category:
<jojo_da_crow> Her Choice by Sara C
<jojo_da_crow> The High Cost of Living by Tank Wilson and Wendy Richards

* CatBru staples chair down to the floor
* JulieS steps onto the stage, careful not to trip
<JulieS> I tend to be clumsy when people are looking at me.
* Kaethel asks everyone to cover their eyes so Jules feels better
<JulieS> lol, thank you, that's very thoughtful <g>
<YConnell> So, Julie, shall we ask our first interviewee to join us?
<JulieS> Yes, let's see who is in our lineup tonight :)
<YConnell> Well, first up, we have two-time Kerth winner, Dave!
<JulieS> So, our first interviewee is one of last year's Kerth winners
<YConnell> oops
<JulieS> yes <g>
* YConnell shuts up
<JulieS> Let's welcome Dave on the stage!
* Dave7 climbs onto the stage, careful to make sure he does trip and then promptly imagines everyone in their underwear...
<Dave7> hello <g>
* YConnell looks down just to check everything is in place...
<JulieS> Hello, Dave, how are you tonight?
* JulieS covers self up
* Dave7 gives Y a wink
<Dave7> hey - that wasn't on the list of questions!
<Kaethel> make sure the *chair* is good...
* Dave7 panics
* JulieS pats Dave
<JulieS> Would you like a glass of water?
* JulieS pours some vodka
<Dave7> is it Y's special water?
<JulieS> No, just mineral water.
<Dave7> oh, sure. Love some.
* JulieS hands you the glass.
* Dave7 downs the glass... gets dizzy... and falls over and breaks the chair
<JulieS> Eeek!
<Dave7> wow. That's good water!
* JulieS borrows Wendy's sonic screwdriver and fixes the chair sppeedily.
<JulieS> All good. :)
<JulieS> now let's move on, before another chair is broken.;)
<JulieS> So, how did you feel when you won your Kerth, David?
<Dave7> *ahem*
<Dave7> I was incredibly shocked when I got the message that I'd won a Kerth. And then my brain imploded and it oozed out of my ears. *g*
<JulieS> Glad to see it's back together now. <g>
<JulieS> What do you remember about your acceptance speech?
* Dave7 grins
<Dave7> Oh, I remember every word. I wasn't there in person, but I managed to channel Sara psychically and use her as a vessel of acceptance...
<Dave7> Heh. Okay, maybe I'd just flaked out and left Sara with instructions to accept on my behalf, without a prepared speech because I was certain that I wasn't going to win. <g>
<Dave7> hey, Sue! I saw that. <g>
<JulieS> How has winning a Kerth changed your life?
<Dave7> My whole life has turned around. It's like I'm famous - can't even walk down the street without being recognised these days! ;)
<JulieS> Oh, those hysterical fangirls!
* Dave7 wonders why it sounds like people don't believe him...
* JulieS pretends she doesn't have any fanfic authors' autographs
<JulieS> Do you think winning a Kerth has made you a better writer?
<Dave7> Absolutely!
<Dave7> I'm even starting to learn how to use commas now. <g>
<YConnell> That's a dangerous comment with all these BRs present ;)
<JulieS> That's always good. <g>
<JulieS> How do you cope with the media attention Kerth award winners get?
<Dave7> well... I, said, starting. <g>
<Dave7> Oh, the media attention was easy!
<Dave7> It was coping with all Wendy's "reminders" about our bet that was difficult!
<JulieS> Finally, everybody always want to know - where do you keep your Kerth award?
<Dave7> I keep my Kerth award in the kitchen. It looks good above my fridge and makes a *fantastic* butter knife!
<JulieS> Great! It's lovely that you make use of it.
<JulieS> Thanks for joining us tonight, Dave!
* Dave7 bounces, breaks the chair again, and dashes off stage
<Dave7> no, worries,! :)
<YConnell> Absolutely. Thanks for that interesting insight into a Kerth winner's mind ;)
<JulieS> For everyone watching, Dave will be available for autographs behind the building after the ceremony.

<Wendymr> lol
<YConnell> He'll also be handing out free butter samples
<YConnell> Okay, next, we have our first featured BO nominee
<YConnell> Away from the Sun by Sara Kraft
<YConnell> This is just an excerpt to showcase her writing :)
<YConnell> For the first time in days, Clark couldn't sleep.
<YConnell> He walked over to the window and stared out. The window he'd
<YConnell> flown through just hours ago, only to have his life turned upside
<YConnell> down once again by Lois Lane. The sky was clear tonight, with
<YConnell> lots of stars in evidence. Thousands of little orbs twinkling
<YConnell> merrily at him, oblivious to how he was feeling.
<YConnell> The stars took on a different meaning tonight than they had just
<YConnell> the night before. Instead of making him feel so isolated, they
<YConnell> were... more hopeful?
<YConnell> No, not really.
<YConnell> But they didn't make him feel suffocatingly lonely anymore. That
<YConnell> was something, wasn't it?
<YConnell> Hundreds, maybe thousands of other planets out there, so the
<YConnell> astronomers said. Why had he had to end up on this one, where
<YConnell> Lois Lane belonged? Why couldn't he have been sent to... oh, that
<YConnell> one over there, the fifth star on the right above the Carver
<YConnell> building?
<YConnell> A planet uninhabited by Lois Lanes. Now that would be a
<YConnell> comfortable place to be.
<YConnell> But boring. And utterly, completely empty.
<YConnell> What was it that poet had said? Better to have loved and lost
<YConnell> than never to have loved at all?
<YConnell> But that wasn't the problem. He realized now that as much as it
<YConnell> had felt like it, he hadn't really been in love with the first
<YConnell> Lois. Lust. Attraction. Some kind of inexplicable echo of a
<YConnell> connection between them. But he hadn't been in love with her.
<YConnell> And now that *his* Lois was here... he wasn't in love with her
<YConnell> either.
<YConnell> Clark flung the window shut, only holding back enough so it
<YConnell> wouldn't shatter. What was wrong with him?!
<YConnell> This wasn't how it was supposed to be!
<YConnell> ***********
<YConnell> The rest, you can catch on the Fanfic Archive :)
<sistersue> If I got Dave behind the building, it wouldn't be for an autograph.
<MetroRhodes> LOLS!
<Doranwen> ROFL!

<Meowoof> Well, someone should swing over to LaneKent and drag those people over here.
* MrsMosley sighs with happiness <---- loves AftS
<ChiefPam> <g>
<Doranwen> they forgot about me for the entirety of Rach's speech
<Triciaw> lol Dave!

<KSaraSara> awwww thanks, guys!!!!
<Doranwen> I could have done *something* . . .
* KSaraSara blushes!
<BriGal> lol, Dave
* Dave7 waits to be kicke... there we go <g>
<Daisymay390> there's not many people there
* YConnell enjoyed kicking Dave <g>
<sistersue> Should have continued lurking, Dave. You could have streaked later.
<Wendymr> lol
<Triciaw> You're kicked Dave!!
<BriGal> lol
<jackiek> lol
<LaraMoon> lol
<MrsMosley> oh yes they call him the streak...
* Dave7 loves this story, which he can share with everyone because he hasn't been de-voiced yet
<YConnell> okay, we now have another interview
<YConnell> Julie, over to you
<JulieS> Thank you!
<JulieS> Next, we have another Kerth winner.
<JulieS> Does she need any introductions? We ran out of fingers when trying to count up her Kerths.
<JulieS> We think the total may be nineteen but it's anybody's guess, really.
<JulieS> It's Wendy!
* Wendymr strolls up onto the stage, on the arm of a magnetically-attractive man in jeans and a battered black leather jacket
* Wendymr pats him on the arm and tells him that she won't be long
<JulieS> Hey, don't keep Captain Jack all to yourself!
<JulieS> *cough* I mean, welcome! Here, have a seat on the interviewee chair.
* Wendymr prefers to stand
<Wendymr> I think it's probably safer :)
<JulieS> If you prefer :)
<JulieS> So, how did you feel when you won your Kerth?
* Wendymr has to think for a moment...
<Wendymr> I don't really remember. I was too busy trying to reassemble my chair after I fell off it.
<JulieS> Your first Kerth, that is <g>
<JulieS> Ah, of course, sonic screwdrivers were available on Amazon.co.uk back then, were they?
<JulieS> What do you remember about your acceptance speech?
<Wendymr> lol! no, not then, so sadly
<Wendymr> hmm
<Wendymr> I think I fainted twice during it. Maybe DocJill will remember it better than I do?
* JulieS refills Wendy's mineral water glass in case she feels faint.
<Wendymr> actually, there's a point. Is Jill here tonight?
<Wendymr> we might need her!
<JulieS> Are you sure you don't want to sit down?
<JulieS> Maybe then we won't need Jill. <g>
<Wendymr> nah - after all, I brought my own personal Doctor this time.
<Wendymr> if I faint, he's right over there :)
<Wendymr> he's as certified as he needs to be, Sara ;)
* JulieS stares at the Doctor, distracted...
<JulieS> Sorry, where were we?
<JulieS> Right - how has winning a Kerth changed your life?
* Wendymr pushes Julie away. He's mine!
<Wendymr> now, there's a tough one
<JulieS> Hey!
<Wendymr> what do you think, Doctor? <g>
<Wendymr> I've never looked back. Fame, fortune, the cover of Romance magazine, you know, all of it... Well, I'm still waiting for it to happen, really. Still, looking back is such a sad thing to do, which is why I've never done it. :)
<JulieS> No violence on stage! I'll have you know I'm also the bouncer this evening!
<JulieS> Do you think winning a Kerth has made you a better writer?
<Wendymr> Was I ever good?
<Wendymr> seriously, though...
<Wendymr> I don't know; has it? Though I suppose you lot out there wouldn't know any more. After all, I did just dump you all for a completely different fandom. Dunno if that makes me a better writer or just a fickle one!
<Wendymr> Yes, Pam, I did and still do <g>
<JulieS> Yes, you did just dump us!
* JulieS pretends she's not itching to watch the new Doctor Who episode as soon as the ceremony is over.
<JulieS> How do you cope with the media attention Kerth award winners get?
* Wendymr has already seen it :)
* Wendymr looks smug
<Wendymr> Well, these days I never go out without a baseball cap and sunglasses. You have to be so careful, you know. These paparazzi get everywhere.
<Wendymr> And as for the autograph-hunters...! I can't even go to Six Flags in California or the Italian Alps or invite people to visit without getting mobbed, you know. Some days I just have to stay inside. Sigh... it's such a difficult life, being famous ;)
<JulieS> I'd ask for your autograph, but I already have it. <g>
* Wendymr zaps KSaraSara with her sonic screwdriver
<JulieS> Where do you keep your Kerth award?
<Wendymr> Mounted on the bonnet of my car, of course. Well, who needs a Flying Lady, anyway?
<Wendymr> Though it's just about to go on the TARDIS console. Once we're ready to leave <g>
<JulieS> I thought they were bigger?
<Wendymr> Yes, so did I. That was a bit of a disappointment, all right. I almost sent them back and asked for replacements. Quality these days, really! Still, I suppose painted plastic doesn't come cheap. But if you manage to get the direction of the light just right they look a little bigger - that'll have to do.
<JulieS> What advice would you give to a new author who's hoping to be standing on this podium some day?
<Wendymr> um. You're asking ME for advice?
<Wendymr> Practice deep breathing and get some anti-shock therapy. Then maybe you won't fall off the stage when you're trying to accept an award. Failing that, cosy up to a winner and offer to collect their Kerth for them.
<JulieS> Good advice!
<Wendymr> thank you :)
<JulieS> Thank you for joining us tonight, Wendy!
<Wendymr> You're welcome. THank you for inviting us! :)
* Wendymr beckons to the Doctor
* Wendymr runs into the TARDIS and disappears
<Kaethel> and thank you Julie for interviewing our former winners. Finding them is a hard job, especially when they've scurried off to another fandom muttertraitormutter
* JulieS follows Wendy to the TARDIS and latches on
* JulieS floats in the Time Vortex
<KSaraSara> LOL Sue!!!
<sistersue> Must be Wendy
<CatBru> Mmm, now I DIDN'T misread streaked!
<MetroRhodes> LOL
<AnnaBtG> lol Cat
<UltraW> Go, Wendy!

<MrsMosley> YAY Wendy!

<MrsMosley> hmm, which one do you think? I like Nine myself
<AnnaBtG> he's not as magnetically attractive as Clark. *ducks*
<KSaraSara> it is, I think Julie's confused ;)
<CatBru> Mmm, all this talk about butter, magnetically-attractibe men in jeands and battered leather jackets and steak IS making me hungry...

<Triciaw> LOL Pam
<Dave7> does he need to be?
<sistersue> I think he's certifiable
<Meowoof> Well, hey, at least there is a nurse or two or three here.
* AnnaBtG will hand out pills to everyone (illegally) :P

<Kaethel> anyway, here's Anna with the next category: Best Comedy. And I shall warn you... no funny business with chairs!
<BanAnna> Hi everyone!
<BanAnna> Well, let's face it, nobody really likes comedy.
<BanAnna> I mean, all that laughing and merriment. Who needs it?
<BanAnna> I'm sure we'd all much rather sit around bored out of our skulls.
<BanAnna> Still, there are a few writers in FoLCdom who insist on making us laugh.
<BanAnna> They seem to enjoy torturing us with all that "fun" and "hilarity".
<BanAnna> Evil fiends, I say.
<BanAnna> Still, I suppose everyone is entitled to their ways, however strange they may be.
<BanAnna> And I guess Kerth night is as good a time as any to give them their due.
<BanAnna> So here are the nominees:
<BanAnna> Darn It! by Nan Smith
<BanAnna> Galactically Stupid - The Whole Story by ML Thompson
<BanAnna> The Inside Scoop by Paul-Gabriel Wiener

I hadn't written a story in several years prior to starting "If I Were You", and I was very nervous when I started posting it. But it also was SO much fun to be writing again, and the readers' gracious and encouraging response just made it that much more so."
<MrsMosley> "Receiving an award for it on top of all that just seems too good to be true. If I were actually here, I'd be pinching myself! Thanks again to everyone who has made me feel so welcome in this fandom, and thank you for honoring my story with this award."

<Kaethel> Let's see how MetroRhodes deals with Best Drama then!
<Kaethel> will it be the Dramatic End of the Poor Chair?
<Kaethel> let's find out :)
* MetroRhodes stumbles up on stage, trips and falls into a chair, catches it before it careens into the wall
<Kaethel> grrrrr....
* MetroRhodes stands up and pulls off her sweatshirt and sweatpants and straightens her green dress.
* MetroRhodes shuffles papers
* YConnell blinks at MR's outfit
<MetroRhodes> Uh hi everyone!
* MetroRhodes curses when a paper slides from the stack and floats to the floor
<MetroRhodes> Bare with me.
<MetroRhodes> Eeek! Bare?
<MetroRhodes> Where's my beta???
<MetroRhodes> She would have kept me from typing that!
<MetroRhodes> Bear... Bear! I meant bear!!!
* MetroRhodes lets out a shout of annoyance when another paper drops, bends down and picks them both up.
<MetroRhodes> Sorry. I'm not usually this disorganized, but Babbles my muse was responsible for this speech and then she decided at the last minute that she gets stage fright and so she dropped these notes on me and...
* MetroRhodes shades eyes from the harsh lights of the stage and peers toward the back door
<MetroRhodes> BABBLES! Get up here! Right now! Someone stop her! Don't let her leave!
* MetroRhodes taps foot while Babbles timidly makes her way on stage, tripping on the second step and falling flat on her face. She smiles shyly and runs and hides behind DJ.
<MetroRhodes> Okay, let's try this again...
<MetroRhodes> And quit hoping for a peek show, would ya?
* MetroRhodes is now known as Babbles
* Babbles stares meanly at Sue
* Babbles looks around shyly and then throws the papers into the air and straightens her dress, smiling out at the audience.
<Babbles> Good... evening? Afternoon? Morning? Good day to all of you FoLCs out there. I'm here to present the category of 'Best Drama'. I doubt many of you are asking yourself what qualifies a story as a 'drama', but... I know that for me, a good drama rips my heart out and feeds it to me with a spoon, and then has me coming back, begging for more. <g>
<Babbles> But a good drama can also have you on the edge of your seat. If not frustrated by horrific plots to strip memories away,
<Babbles> or in puzzlement over whether another Kryptonian could have come to Earth,
<Babbles> or dying of curiosity about just who the mystery Italian man is,
<Babbles> jumping out of your seat when a brain ends up on the kitchen counter,
<Babbles> or working feverishly to figure out if a line from every single episode through Dead Lois Walking was used and when...
<Babbles> Ooooh, there's that pretty red flashy thingy....
* Babbles considers taking a peak...
* Babbles is now known as MetroRhodes
* MetroRhodes smacks Babbles - focus!
* MetroRhodes is now known as Babbles
<Babbles> Sorry.
<Babbles> if none of that gets you, then certainly the bouts of torture and near death calamities that befall our two heroes should certainly manage to keep you up reading way past your self-proclaimed bedtime.
<Babbles> And the writers who were nominated for Best Drama this year have outdone themselves. You all still owe me... let's see...
<Babbles> And the writers who were nominated for Best Drama this year have outdone themselves. You all still owe me... let's see...
<Babbles> OOops!
* Babbles pulls out list and adds up the figures
<Babbles> $19.52 -- That's for the boxes of Kleenex that I went through. Oh, and then, when I ran out of tissue and a few mascara-laden tears dribbled down the front of my favorite silk shirt, I had to take it to the dry-cleaners the next day. Plus, there was that box of chocolate chip cookies I had to inhale after reading such stories, to make myself feel better...
* Babbles is now known as MetroRhodes
* MetroRhodes clears throat and bops Babbles on the head
<MetroRhodes> Sorry, Babbles got a little carried away. And so, without further delay, the nominees for this year's Best Drama category are:
<MetroRhodes> Away From The Sun, by Sara Kraft
<MetroRhodes> Faustian Bargain, by Sue S.
<MetroRhodes> The Forgotten, by Jennie Debbage
<MetroRhodes> Guilty Until Proven Innocent, by ML Thompson
<MetroRhodes> Revisionist History, by Sue S.
<MetroRhodes> And the winner is...
<MetroRhodes> No, you cannot read it, Babbles. Now give me that envelope!
* MetroRhodes reaches out and grabs for it... misses... grabs for it again, thoroughly embarrassed by her Muse's behavior
<MetroRhodes> Give it to me... or next year I'll bring Bubbles instead...
<MetroRhodes> YES WAY.
<Triciaw> You've got it!!!
* MetroRhodes finally snatches the envelope away and hastily rips it open before someone in the audience throws something at her
<MetroRhodes> Ahem... and the winner is...
<MetroRhodes> Faustian Bargain by Sue S.!!!!
<MrsMosley> Hmmm... she's up for another award later... should I call her now or wait?

<sistersue> I'll go blubber my way back to my seat now. THANK YOU!!!!!!
<Kaethel> well, you know, Sue, when you win an award it ties you forever to the Lois and Clark fandom. If you ever stop writing L&C, you're under arrest and if we catch you, you'll be decapitated then hung.

<Doranwen> ROFL
<KSaraSara> lol!

<KSaraSara> probably not <g>
<JulieS> ...
<BriGal> Kae still has a WIP.. I think that makes her safe.. as long as she gets back to it
* JulieS looks innocent
* KSaraSara ties Sue to the fandom ;)
<Shadow02> lol kae
* Dave7 has L&C fic on his HD - totally safe <g>
* Wendymr points to a certain link: http://www.whofic.com/viewuser.php?uid=681
<MrsMosley> We'll line their heads up as a warning to future Kerth winners
<ChiefPam> Not if you don't produce it!
<ChiefPam> lol, Lisa
<KSaraSara> I haven't seen this Dave! (or have I? <g>)
<Triciaw> LOL
<KSaraSara> is it the ring one?? <g>
* CatBru plans on killing off Lois for many years to come. No worries!
<Doranwen> rofl!
<Conny> Hanging after decapitating or before? *grins evilly*
<Psychofurbal> WOOHOO!
<ChiefPam> No violence! Except to chairs...
* BriGal ponders getting on the killing band wagon
<KSaraSara> LOL Brucie!

<Doranwen> lol
* Dave7 phews
<JulieS> bah
<Wendymr> and Phil Atcliffe <g>
<Kaethel> Best Relationship, brought to you by Saskia (who can be violent in stories!)
<CatBru> Sorry guys, but we're too tired to present the award.
<CatBru> ...
<CatBru> All those stairs... All those STAIRS!!!
* CatBru rocks back and forth
<SaskiaK> And because it's so frikkin late! *Prods Cat*
<CatBru> *shakes head* Erm! but we managed to rustle up some people at the last minute!
<SaskiaK> So here are Mayson Drake and Daniel Scardino!
* CatBru is now known as MaysonDrake
* SaskiaK is now known as DanScardino
* MaysonDrake walks slowly towards the stage
<MaysonDrake> This is so unfair! I did not even agree to this at all! How can you even make me present *this*?! But fine, if you insist. *mounts the stairs, adjusts the mic and straightens her jacket* I will just tell you exactly how I feel about this crap!
<MaysonDrake> 'Best Relationship' my heiny! Do you have any idea how annoying it is be dropped like a car bomb for the likes of Miss Priss??
<MaysonDrake> *disgruntled* The only reason why I'm even here is because Limbo isn't exactly the most thrilling place. You would think, as a well respected Lawyer, I'd be sent straight on to the pearly gates! But nooooo, apparently the Big Guy upstairs likes the Big Guy in Non-Miranda Rights Reading TIGHTS! It's a darned boys club all around, I'm telling you!
<DanScardino> *catches Mayson's knowing glance*
* DanScardino rolls his eyes in disgust
<DanScardino> Okay, fine, I was hoping to catch a tiff in the Perfect and Gag Inducing marriage and see if I can't plant the seed of distrust in Lois' perfectly coiffed head. That's the relationship I'm thinking about for this stupid category, anyhow.
* MaysonDrake mutters some more
<DanScardino> She just should've chosen me! That lunkhead keeps dissapearing on her with those ridiculous excuses. How does she even put up with that?
<MaysonDrake> Maybe cause he was the more Super guy of the bunch?
<DanScardino> What?
<MaysonDrake> Er, nothing!
<MaysonDrake> I'm totally over Clark anyway.
<DanScardino> Oh, really?
* DanScardino pulls out a diary from his pocket
<DanScardino> That's not what it sounds like to me. In fact, aren't you the one who wrote about Clark's smoldering eyes?
<MaysonDrake> What? Where did you get that??
<DanScardino> Somewhere. Now listen to this: "Even that sexy smile of his makes my knees turn weak. He smiles a lot, so when I'm around him, I really have to work hard to keep standing up. He's such a nice man, what does he ever see in that Lane woman? A man like him is so not worthy of her. No, he's much better of with me."
<DanScardino> And you wish to say you're over that crush?
<MaysonDrake> Give me back *my* diary!
<DanScardino> *ducks away as Mayson throws herself at him*
<DanScardino> Oh no, this is too much fun, don't think I'm gonna give it up.
* MaysonDrake runs towards Dan, trying to grab the journal
<DanScardino> *starts running to, barely managing to stay out of Mayson's clutches*
<MaysonDrake> *panting* Oh fine then, you'll keep it.
<DanScardino> Why, thank you.
<MaysonDrake> think you'll ever have a shot with Lois.
<DanScardino> And what makes you so sure?
<MaysonDrake> Just don't think, even =D
<MaysonDrake> Stuff I know. Up there I learnt things.
<DanScardino> *raises an eyebrow*
<MaysonDrake> Oh, just shut it!
<DanScardino> Let's get this over with then.
<MaysonDrake> Fine. So ehm, we're presenting Best Relationship. Shipping the wrong people, but ah well.
<DanScardino> And the nominees are:
<DanScardino> Faustian Bargain by Sue S.
<MaysonDrake> If I Were You by Caroline K.
<DanScardino> Longings of the Heart by Erin Klingler
<MaysonDrake> Reversal of Fortune by LaraMoon
<DanScardino> Revisionist History by Sue S.
<MaysonDrake> Tears in Heaven by Shannon Berg and Lisa Stankiewicz

<KSaraSara> maybe Dan and Elle ;)
* Doranwen liked that idea a long time ago
<Triciaw> LOL
<MrsMosley> Crystal's writing one, it's pretty good

<sistersue> Or do one-armed pushups or something?
<YConnell> You can do whatever you like <g>
<sistersue> No, never mind. I'm no good at pushups. But I do thank you all from the bottom of my wee, stony heart.

<Meowoof> Bye, JoJo. Bummer you have to leave.
<Kaethel> now is time for our second commercial break, guys, with another round of interviews, among other things!
* DanScardino is now known as SaskiaK
<YConnell> Yep, and this time we're making a wee change
<YConnell> The Kerths are going interactive <g>
<YConnell> Here's the deal:
<YConnell> I past a line from one of the BO nominees, and you, the audience, get to guess which story it's from
<YConnell> We'll do a couple of those, and then we'll feature an interview or two
<YConnell> There's no prizes, btw. Just the honour of being first to guess.
<YConnell> So here's the first quote:
<YConnell> Ready?
<YConnell> Be ready to type really fast <g>
<YConnell> Lois lifted her head and looked over at him. For a few seconds
<YConnell> she didn't say anything and then she softly cleared her throat.
<YConnell> She had to tell him. She should just do it quick, like pulling
<YConnell> off a bandage.
<YConnell> LOL, Sue
<YConnell> Okay, Karen gets the prize <g>
<YConnell> Sue gets the booby prize for not recognising her own fic
<YConnell> Here's the next one:
<YConnell> ready?
<KaeWritinNWH> thanks Y - as I was saying... the Kerth Awards wouldn't be the same without one of the committee members being caught in a netsplit!
<KaeWritinNWH> ready :)
* KaeWritinNWH is now known as KaeNotLagged
<YConnell> I said, Are You Ready over there?>>
<YConnell> So often Matt had dreamed of a meeting like this, only to be
<YConnell> disappointed when daylight came. But this was no dream... this
<YConnell> was reality.
<YConnell> Yep, Doran's got it <g>
<YConnell> Congrats :))
* BriGal dashes to the other room
* MrsMosley runs to the loo
<Wendymr> yay, more interviews!
<Meowoof> How do you do a log, guys?

<KaeWritinNWH> the Kerths wouldn't bethe Kerths without splitting...
<jackiek> lol
<Triciaw> LOL Sue
<KSaraSara> ... I think
* Wendymr doesn't think it's Sue by the grammar

<BriGal> YAY!
<Wendymr> lol
<jackiek> lol
<sistersue> LOL
<AnnaBtG> yay Karen!
<MrsMosley> LOL!!!!
* Wendymr adds a comma and changes 'quick' to 'quickly' <g>
<MetroRhodes> LOL LOL!!!!
<BriGal> You were saying, Sue?
<jackiek> lol
<sistersue> I did eventually recognize it!
<Dave7> grammar Nazi <g>
<BriGal> And I did it without Google!
<MrsMosley> what part is that from?
* Wendymr is proud to be a grammar Nazi
<Meowoof> It's Faustian, I tell you.
<MrsMosley> lol Nancy
<MetroRhodes> I knew it was Sue, but Karen beat me to FB so I guessed RH just in case. <g>
<sistersue> When Lois tells Clark her secret.
<BriGal> hehe
* KaeWritinNWH is now known as KaeNotLagged
<BriGal> I really shouldn't participate in those. As some poeple know, I'm a wicked fast typer ;-)
<MrsMosley> ah of course
<KSaraSara> lol Karen
<MetroRhodes> Ready!
<SaskiaK> ready!
<BriGal> READY!
<KSaraSara> READY!!!
<jackiek> ready!
<MrsMosley> GO!
<Triciaw> Ready!
<Doranwen> I'd do fine on the typing, if only I could recognize stories fast
<Doranwen> The Forgotten
<Doranwen> has to be, with Matt
<MrsMosley> yeah what D said
<MetroRhodes> Wow! That was fast
<Meowoof> Faustian. I searched it.
<Wendymr> that looked like fast to me <g>
<Triciaw> Very fast
<Doranwen> lol it was easy--it had a specific non-usual character in it
<Conny> The Forgotten
<Meowoof> Oh. Duh. We're on to a new one.
<Doranwen> Matt was a dead giveaway
<MaysonDrake> sorry, all, I'll hafta stay on for a bit. CatBru's currently a throbbing mess on the ground, trying to recover from The Stairs again.
* AnnaBtG recognized it without having read the story... lol.
<sistersue> Wendy, I'm certain I was misquoted!
<YConnell> okay, now over to Julie for another interview
* JulieS climbs back onstage, having recovered from that stint in the Time Vortex
<JulieS> Our next guest is actually already on stage - and still surprised to see three Kerths awards against her name on the Archive!
<JulieS> Of course, after tonight, that makes four.
<JulieS> It's Yvonne!
* YConnell blushes
<YConnell> Be gentle with me.
<JulieS> Oh, I'm always gentle!
* JulieS gives Yvonne a good pat on the back
<JulieS> would you lik some mineral water?
<YConnell> Nope, I'm good to go
<JulieS> Great!
<JulieS> So, how did you feel when you won your Kerth?
<YConnell> Um...wrong-footed. ;)
<JulieS> Aww. You deserved them all.
<YConnell> :)
<JulieS> What do you remember about that first acceptance speech?
<YConnell> That inspiration and success are not natural bed-partners ; ie, I got completely tongue-tied and my mind went blank. <g>
<JulieS> Good thing you're not improvising the ceremony tonight then <g>
<JulieS> How has winning a Kerth changed your life?
<YConnell> Well, it's a hard life being a Kerth winner. You find that doorways just aren't wide
<YConnell> enough to accommodate the larger ego you have to drag around with you all day long.
<YConnell> Personally, I've taken to storing my ego in hyperspace along with Clark's suit.
<YConnell> I think it likes being snuggled up inside all that spandex.
<JulieS> Do you think winning a Kerth has made you a better writer?
<YConnell> Oh, absolutely. I'm a dab hand at writing acceptance speeches these days.
<JulieS> How do you cope with the media attention Kerth award winners get?
<YConnell> It's tough.
<YConnell> The paparazzi, the door-stepping journalists, the annoying phone-calls -
<YConnell> I just don't know where they all are!
<YConnell> I've baked cakes, made sandwiches, bought cases of beer and wine -
<YConnell> I even tried dum sum and sushi, but to no avail.
<YConnell> I'm so lonely...
* KaeNotLagged is now known as Kaethel
<JulieS> Aww. Are you sure you don't want some of that mineral water?
<YConnell> I'm drinking my way through those cases of beer, thanks
<JulieS> But my water will do wonders for you!
<YConnell> Nah, I don't drink spirits...um...water. Water, I mean. Definitely water.
<JulieS> Anyway, where do you keep your Kerth award?
<YConnell> Um...you mean I wasn't supposed to sell it on Ebay?
* JulieS takes a sip of water
<JulieS> see... now that's good water....
<JulieS> Oh, sure, some people do that and donate the money to charity. ;)
<YConnell> Okay, another interview, or on with the ceremony?
<JulieS> Thanks for agreeing to your own request of being interviewed tonight! It was very generous of you.
<jackiek> lol
<Wendymr> lol Sue :)
<Triciaw> Yay another interview!
<MetroRhodes> Yay!
* MaysonDrake pulls out her prized journal and pets it affectionatley
<BriGal> upon the stairs?
<jennidebb> wow, even I didn't guess it
<MetroRhodes>
<Dave7> go Y! :)
<Wendymr> woohoo! Yvonne! :)
<Olympe> lol
<MetroRhodes> Yay Yvonne!
<AnnaBtG> oh yay, Yvonne!!
<sistersue> Oooo! Yvonne!
<BriGal> yay, Yvonne!
<MrsMosley> Yvonee!
<sistersue> Ask her something deeply personal!
<AnnaBtG> she's got only four?
<AnnaBtG> she should have more!
<Triciaw> Go Yvonne!!!
<|Evilness> I agree, Anna
* MetroRhodes looks at Sue - did you order something from the bar downstairs?
<Wendymr> I think Addicted might have won more than one Kerth? Not sure, though
<Dave7> gentle? That's no fun. :(

<JulieS> Let's welcome her to the stage!
<YConnell> Now, ML asked if I'd impersonate her for this, so here goes...
* YConnell is now known as MLYConnell
<JulieS> Welcome, ML!
<JulieS> How did you feel when you won your Kerth?
<MLYConnell> I didn't really feel anything. I was in a dead faint on the floor.
<JulieS> What do you remember about your acceptance speech?
<MLYConnell> What acceptance speech? I just told you I'd passed out.
<JulieS> How has winning a Kerth changed your life?
<MLYConnell> Well, it taught me the value of keeping smelling salts on hand. And soft places to land. It definitely taught me the value of having a soft place to land.
<BriGal> lol
<JulieS> Always a good idea to avoid landing on one of those chairs
<JulieS> Do you think winning a Kerth has made you a better writer?
<MLYConnell> I'm not sure. I guess the question is whether the head injury I suffered when I passed out hurt or helped my writing. Uhh... what was the question again?
<JulieS> How do you cope with the media attention Kerth award winners get?
<MLYConnell> I had to install electrified fences around my property and I taught my dog how to bite.
<JulieS> Finally, where do you keep your Kerth award?
<MLYConnell> Oh, well, you know me. I just toss them in the bottom drawer. And if you start that rumour again about a lighted trophy case, I swear I'll sue!
* MLYConnell is now known as YConnell
<JulieS> Well, thank you for joining us!

<MrsMosley>
<MrsMosley> Is this thing on?
* MrsMosley steals Julie's water

<JulieS> MINE!
* JulieS gulps her water
<MrsMosley> either in the original universe we know and love or in a universe with completely different circumstances - and sometimes a combination of the two!

<MrsMosley> From Sara Kraft, we have Away From the Sun, in which the first Alt-Clark finds his Lois and discovers that the path of true love isn't always smooth.
<MrsMosley> ML Thompson gave us a riveting alternate take on The People v. Lois Lane in Guilty Until Proven Innocent.
<MrsMosley> Also from ML Thompson, a touching twisty time travel story (say that five times fast!) in which love conquers a distance of more than one hundred years - Lost In Time.
<MrsMosley> LaraMoon presented us with Reversal of Fortune, an Elseworld tale that asks if the money makes the man.
<MrsMosley> And from MetroRhodes we have Supermen United, a story that brings together ñ count ëem ñ one, two, three, *four* Clark Kents and their Lois Lanes in a fight against a common enemy.
<MrsMosley> OMG! Is that NekkidClark streaking the Kerth Awards?
* MrsMosley cranes her head to look
* MrsMosley falls off the stage

<KSaraSara> Actually, I invited some friends to present for me ;)
<KSaraSara> Will you all welcome (and voice <g>) Pete and Elle :D
<Kaethel> Welcome Pete and Elle!
<ElleDaly> Thanks!
<PeteRomero> Thank you Kae!
<PeteRomero> The Kerth Committee has graciously asked Ellie and me here to pr--
* ElleDaly clears her throat soundly and levels a glare at Pete.
* PeteRomero gives Elle a mischievous look.
<PeteRomero> Right, sorry. *Elle*.
* PeteRomero winks.
<PeteRomero> But you know you secretly love it when I call you Ellie.
* ElleDaly thwaps Pete on the shoulder. Hard.
<PeteRomero> Ow! What was that for?
<ElleDaly> That was for stealing my line. We'd agreed I go first.
* ElleDaly thwaps Pete again.
<ElleDaly> And that's for calling me Ellie in front of all these people!
* PeteRomero grabs his shoulder and looks indignant.
<PeteRomero> Hey! Have you forgotten already that I'm recovering from not one, but *two* gunshot wounds?
<ElleDaly> No, I haven't.
* ElleDaly looks sad for a second, but then grins and thwaps him again in the shoulder.
<ElleDaly> But not in your shoulder, you're not!
* PeteRomero grabs his shoulder again and glares at Elle.
<PeteRomero> Well, aren't you going to start, Ms. I Need to Be the Center of Attention?
* ElleDaly rolls her eyes... and surreptitiously steps on Pete's foot.
<ElleDaly> Anyway, we're here to present the Kerth Award for Best Supporting or Original Character in a story, and I'd just like to sa--
<PeteRomero> Hey, wait a minute! We're original characters! Why ar--
<ElleDaly> Actually, *I'm* an original character. You're just a supporting character, not so original.
* ElleDaly grins cheekily
* PeteRomero looks offended.
<PeteRomero> I'm original!
<ElleDaly> Oh, secret identities, all that undercover stuff, Petey, doesn't count. Or maybe I should just call you Dan Scardino?
* ElleDaly grins evilly
* PeteRomero gasps, his mouth hanging open.
<PeteRomero> I can't *believe* you just did that!
* ElleDaly shrugs.
<PeteRomero> That's my secret identity!
<ElleDaly> Oh, everyone bloody knows you're really Dan! Get over it.
* ElleDaly winks at Dan.
* PeteRomero sulks.
* ElleDaly rolls her eyes.
<ElleDaly> Well, I guess I'll just take all the lines since you're going to cry about your status. Not my fault you were undercover instead of original. And since you're moaning has taken up all our time, I'll just get to the nominees for Best Original or Supporting Character in a story.

<Dave7> I'm going to keep this short and sweet because I know that nobody wants to hear me dither on and I'm sure everybody is anxious to hear the results.
<Dave7> But first, I'd like to say that it's an honour to be asked to present this award, even if I'm doing it (not really) by proxy, and I'd like to take a moment to thank my wonderful host body - thank you, wonderful host body.
* Dave7 pats self on his head
<Dave7> Your first Kerth night is a wonderful right of initiation into FoLCdom, and being nominated in them, especially in the Best New Author category, is an amazingly surreal experience.
<Dave7> I'm sad to say that real life has kept me busy enough this year that I've barely had the chance to taste any of the new talent on offer, but I've been hearing wonderful, wonderful things about many of the names on tonight's list. (I'm sure most of them are true, too. ;))

<Kaethel> now for a real announcement (No, nothing about my non-pregancy this time, honest)...
<Kaethel> here are Lois and Clark IN PERSON!!! They attended our ceremony because they have something to tell you.
KSaraSara is now known as ClarkKent
* BanAnna is now known as Lois
* Psychofurbal is now known as ThePrankster
<ClarkKent> Sorry, guys. I've got all my clothes on. ;)
<Lois> Clark!
* sistersue streaks
<Lois> Honestly, Clark, there's something going on here and I'm going to find out just *what* that is.
* ClarkKent 's jaw drops!
<ClarkKent> ... Don't I know that woman?
* ClarkKent sighs
<ClarkKent> Lois, just what could be going on here? Look at all those people! They are having such a good time, what could possibly be wrong?
* SaskiaK is now known as SideKick
<Lois> That's what I don't know. *Yet.*
<ClarkKent> Fine. But there's nothing suspicious here.
* Lois points at the audience
<Lois> What about *him* then?
<ClarkKent> Who??
<Lois> Look, over there!
<ClarkKent> Isn't that...
<Lois> Victor!
<ThePrankster> That's right, Lois! Didn't think you'd get ride of us that easily, now did you?
<ClarkKent> What do you want, Kyle?
<ThePrankster> Want? Nothing much, really. Not until June 23 at least.
<SideKick> Yeah, big plans for then, you know.
<Lois> Well, what's going to happen then?
<ThePrankster> The Fifth Non-Annual Alt-Kerth Awards, of course!
<SideKick> Yes, you're one and only chance this year to reward Videos, Icons, Trailers, Art, Motivational Posters and everything else not fiction relation.
<Lois> Oh, that! I did know about that. But what does that have to do with you?
<ThePrankster> Well, it so happens that *I* have been made the theme of the year. So it's rather appropriate that I also make an appearance, right?
* ClarkKent rolls his eyes
<SideKick> And just to make it even better, we have a challenge for you guys in the audience! Eligibility runs from May 1, 2006 till April 30, 2007. That means there is one month left to post everything you want to be eligible. And so, for that last month, we challenge you to come up with as many things that are related to theme. Anything is open for your creation, with the exception of fiction.
<ThePrankster> That's right. Go make me important! For more information, have a look here: http://www.2007.altkerthawards.com
<Lois> Just don't forget that we'll also be there, Kyle!
<ThePrankster> I'm counting on it! Come on, Victor, let's get going again.
<SideKick> Sure thing, boss!
<ClarkKent> Now was that what you were worried about, Lois?
<Lois> I guess so.
<ClarkKent> I suppose we have an investigation to do before then. Just to be prepared.
<Lois> Yeah, whatever he's planning, we'll find out.
<ClarkKent> But Lois?
<Lois> What?
<ClarkKent> Did you notice? It's the third sequent year. If we're not careful, we're going to have to stop calling it the NON-Annual Alt-Kerth Awards.

<BanAnna> We expect more next year! More! More!

* sistersue stumbles off the stage and back to my seat
<Kaethel> Please give a big round of applause to everyone who made this ceremony possible this year again: first and foremost to the writers who give us such wonderful material to read. Also to the readers who make us writers want to keep on writing even when the Muse is being fickle.
<Kaethel> I'd also like to thank my fellow K-Com members, because organising this even is really a team work, and they're all wonderful. Annette, El, Tricia and Yvonne, nothing would be possible without you!
<Kaethel> Many thanks also to our external vote counter Kathy, and to everyone who helps us behind the scenes or right here on stage, between Anna our MC, all the presenters, the bouncers, the people who helped us create the animation for the breaks...
<Kaethel> And last but not least, thanks to the... CHAIRS!!!!!
