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. :)
Some greetings and techie stuff removed

Kaethel: Welcome to the 2008 Kerth Awards, our annual celebration to say thank you to the writers who keep us entertained all year round. Kaethel: Yes, the ceremony is dedicated to you writers, you who make us go hoarse when screaming after we've experienced your latest cliffhanger, you who force message boards and fanfic archives to get Kleenex as a major sponsor, you who are also greatly responsible for global warming when you write romantic scenes. ;) Kaethel steals a margarita from MrsMosley... Kaethel: This year has once again brought us tremendous competition in the world of fanfic, with beautifully crafted stories, witty dialogue, emotional scenes and everything we love as readers. Kaethel: Before we start, I'd like us to give a big round of applause to everyone who makes this fandom so lively, all the people who spend countless hours writing, reading, commenting, and just basically taking part in the fandom's life.

| Kaethel: And to begin with, here's Dave to present our first category: Best Super Short Story :) Dave7 coughs... er, sorry, technical difficulties, one mo' Kaethel: ah, technical difficulties. Gotta love them... ;) There's no Kerth Awards ceremony without a good netsplit or a technical problem. ;) Kaethel: as long as Dave's technical problem isn't early labor, we're good ;) Triciaw: LOL! Dave7: oh, no Dave7 pats his beer belly, right on schedule, I assure you Dave7: okay, it appears I can't copy/paste from my word doc, so you'll have to do with me typing, quick as I can. *g* Sorry! Dave7: okay, anyway... Dave7 hops up on the stage, taps the microphone and straightens his tie. Dave7: Let me start by saying it was an absolute honour to be asked - uh, that is, to have volunteered myself - to present this award. Dave7: There's a bit of a long standing tradition when it comes to presenting thie category - in, well... in short, I've been told the trick is to keep it short. Dave7: So, that's what I'll do, and without further ado... Dave7 gets on his knees... oh yes, much better! Dave7: I do hope this is short enough though, 'cause I'm not sure how well I'd do on my back... Dave7: Well, I mean, I'm sure I'd do fine on my back, especially if I had a cushion - could I have a cushion? No? No, okay, no cushion - but I might have a spot of bother when it comes to handing over the award and speaking into the microphone. Dave7: Not to mention the skirts! Dave7: None of the nominees are wearing skirts, are they? Paul? No skirt, right? Dave7: Not that it matters anyway, since I'm on my knees, not my back and short stories are great, don't you think? And super short stories are even better, on account of their, well, being super. Dave7: Super short, see? Dave7: Snazzy bit of alliteration that, because honestly, it takes a wonderful amount of skill to tell a story within a few pages - to engage your readers with only a few dozen sentences - amazing, that's what it is. And that's exactly what our nominees are tonight - amazing. Dave7: They are, of course; Dave7: Adventures at the Museum by Elisabeth Dave7: Apologia by JDG Dave7: Back This Way by C_A Dave7: Extraordinary by Caroline K Dave7: Frozen by Sue S Dave7: Lost Love by Paul-Gabriel Wiener Dave7: Soundless by LaraMoon Dave7: And, last but not least, Southern Nights by Editor Jax Dave7: And... oh, I've rambled on for a bit, haven't I? Best make this shorter then. Dave7 gets on his back (Sound) drumroll.wav Dave7: Okay, here we go. And the winner is... (Sound) drumroll.wav Dave7: Southern Nights by Editor Jax. Congrats! (Sound) applause.wav |

Best Mid-Length Saskia grabs paper and starts reading her previously written notes Saskia: Once upon a time there 'as this couple called Lois and Clark. They work togetha as reporters. But Clarkie-boy was in looooove with Loisssss. Only Lois was goin' to marry the bad guy. Then Clarkie disappeared and Lois realised she didn't wanna marry the bad fella after all. Sooooo she escaped to Ssssmallville, to find some piece. Saskia: Once there, she found this flyin' guy who eerily looked like her dream buddy. But she thought she was dreamin' t'all up. And then he turned out to be really Clark!!!!! So they made up again and wen back to Metropolis. Saskia: They started datin', and one day, they went to the mountains for a weekend away. Buuuut they gots stuck there cause of heavy snow fall. Clark finally managed to build them a friar, and it got all cozy and snuggly. And they had mad sex. :D Saskia: That turned out to be good practice for a contest they hadda to participate in fora ssssstory. Kissssssing to win a car. They were on a winnin' spree, when Lois suddenly found out Clarkie was really Supesss. Saskia: *gasp* Saskia: *shock* Saskia: Yeah, really. Clark is Zuperman! Saskia: Ssso anyways, they made up again and returned to win the contest after all. Saskia: After that, it turned out that Superman got in the way of their 'ship. So Clark decided to ditch him and just settle for a norma life with Lois. Luckily, Lois figured out what he was up to before it was too late. Saskia: But then things got awkward between them, so they settled for just friends again. Saskia starts singing 'I'll be there for yououououououoououou!' very off-key. Saskia: Okay, so, where waz I? Saskia: Oh yeah. Friendz. Until one night, with pissa and a movie (thats a good ssstory, you should read't!), they could no longer resist each other. Lois wanted to talk first and take things slowly, so they did. Saskia: And you knows what? Saskia: It finally resulted in their happily ever after! Saskia: Ain't I good at makin' up zories? Saskia: But you know what? Saskia: These five were even better at it!

| Kaethel: and it's already time for our first commercial break! And with all the alcohol you've been passing around in the chat channel, I think everyone will welcome a short run to the bathroom ;) Kaethel: but for those who are staying here, too stick with tradition, you'll get to enjoy an excerpt from each one of the Best Overall contenders (Sound) ruinthis.wav Kaethel: And we'll start with Coming of Age, by Stopquitdont Kaethel: I'll bet you bring all the girls here," Lois told Clark. Kaethel: "Just the special ones." He was smiling at her in the darkness. Kaethel: "How many?" Kaethel: "Oh, a few." The conversation had somehow turned dangerous, Kaethel: something they hadn't allowed it to do since they'd been seeing Kaethel: one another. Kaethel: "And tell me... do you kiss 'em?" she asked as she leaned toward Kaethel: him, intentionally goading him. Kaethel: "Maybe," he asnwered with a grin. Kaethel: Lois' challenging smile faded. Clark was so gorgeous sitting Kaethel: there in the moonlight shining through the loft door. She knew Kaethel: she shouldn't, but she lifted a hand to touch his face. Kaethel: It was Kaethel: all she'd been able to do not to touch him the last few weeks. Kaethel: Just one touch couldn't hurt. Kaethel: Clark's smile faded and his hand came up to her face. Obviously Kaethel: he had no problems with this turn in their relationship. "What Kaethel: would you say if I told you I'd like to kiss you?" Kaethel: (me, personally, I'd say, go for it, Clark! ;)) |

Was this some bizarre Triciaw: conspiracy to hold me prisoner on the farm? Clark had escaped to Triciaw: Borneo, so she needed someone to mother? Triciaw: "It's just..." Martha seemed to be searching for the right Triciaw: words. She looked down at the pen in her hand and tapped it Triciaw: irritably against the table. "Those awful tabloids in the Triciaw: checkout lines... I don't know how the people who write for Triciaw: those things sleep at night! But right now, they're all covered Triciaw: with pictures of a young woman who looks a lot like you. And I Triciaw: wasn't going to say anything, because it's none of my business, Triciaw: after all, but unless you want that kind of recognition, I think Triciaw: you might better stay here for the time being." Triciaw: "Damn it," I whispered, tears of frustration stinging my eyes. I Triciaw: remembered all of the flashbulbs that had exploded in my face Triciaw: before I'd finally managed to sneak out of Metropolis. Of Triciaw: *course* those pictures were all over the tabloids now. Pictures Triciaw: of poor, duped Lois Lane, and who-knew-what lies accompanying Triciaw: them. "What are they saying about me?" Triciaw: "I don't have the slightest idea," she said with asperity. "You Triciaw: couldn't pay me enough to touch one of those rags. They're a Triciaw: disgrace to all the real, talented writers out there - writers Triciaw: like you and my Clark, who try to make the world a better Triciaw: place." Kaethel: thank you Tricia! And good luck to both Caroline and Stopquitdont! More excerpts from Best Overall contenders later tonight! |

The Dark Knight, indeed. carolm: argh!!! DH and kids are on their way back inside! SuperBrucie: brb! Meowoof: Thanks for the info. I'd rather have something un-orange flavored, thank you. BriGal: there's probably some natural disaster going on jennidebb: I've got a good malt whisky, if you'd prefer BriGal: no, Carol, lock them out! keri205: booo disasters PinkEditor: Eh, I'm not PG yet, bring on the booze. AnKS: :) carolm locks doors to find DH has key mr_d8a: I'm sitting down with a nice boxed wine jennidebb: Ok, it's the whisky or a Baileys EvaFoLC: mr_d8a: ew BriGal: doht EvaFoLC: ? mr_d8a: Sorry, the real nice stuff, is also really expensive PinkEditor: hey they sell some nice wines in a box these days.

| Kaethel lets out a very high-pitched whistle, hoping to get everyone back from the bathroom! Saskia: would this help: (Sound) heyba.wav Kaethel: definitely does! Kaethel: and we're back! :) Triciaw: Thanks Sas! Kaethel: We're back with Eva, presenting the Best Waffy Story category EvaFoLC stumbles onto the stage in her superhero-patterned jammies EvaFoLC: Uh, I'm sorry about the unceremonious attire, but I only learned that I would be presenting here on *very* short notice, so I hope you'll excuse ... EvaFoLC feels the magic of the Kerth stage and quickly spins into a super-fabulous red evening gown EvaFoLC: Er, never mind ... but while I do look fabulous; this superspeed-makeover is not the reason I came here today. EvaFoLC: The reason I am here is to present one of the longest-running, best loved categories in FoLCdom: Best WAFFy Story. EvaFoLC: The stories up for a Kerth this year certainly lived up to the name of the category and gave us a perfect dose of warm and fuzzy feelings, making us smile, sigh, melt and go awwwwww. EvaFoLC: Over all these emotions, however, what is often forgotten is their educational value. EvaFoLC: This time around, the authors provided a total of seven lessons for those among us who happen to be Clark Kent: EvaFoLC: Lesson 1: wisely-used cooking skills can lead to a chocolate mousse-flavoured kiss with Lois Lane (10:31 by EditorJax) EvaFoLC: Lesson 2: a strategically placed rose can substitute a wordy revelation (Absolute Proof by Sue S.) EvaFoLC: Lesson 3: a slighlty drunk Lois can make revealing your secret identity a lot easier (Finding Christmas Spirit by Wendy Richards) EvaFoLC: Lesson 4: swooping Lois up in the air while you're wearing sweatpants makes for a speedier revelation (Hide and Seek by MrsMosley) EvaFoLC: Lesson 5: when Jimmy suggested you wear an earing, he probably didn't have a plastic clip-on in mind (Pretty, Pretty Clark by Laura S.) EvaFoLC: Lesson 6: to ease the impact of your revelation, give Lois enough smoldering looks - she might just melt into a puddle of goo (The Challenge by Caroline K) EvaFoLC: Lesson 7: whispering the sweet lyrics of an opera which somewhat mirrors your situation into Lois's ear is sure to mellow her down for your revelation (Whispers in the Key of Love by LaraMoon) EvaFoLC: And the Kerth goes to ... (Sound) drumroll.wav EvaFoLC: Clark is Superman! EvaFoLC: huh? EvaFoLC recognizes Lois's handwriting EvaFoLC: Uh, sorry again, wrong envelope EvaFoLC: The Kerth goes to ... (Sound) drumroll.wav EvaFoLC: Sue S. for Absolute Proof! EvaFoLC: Congratulations! (Sound) applause.wav |

SuperBrucie: widdled, even ;) TopHatMan: i saw a magazine article about how they took different wines, had people sample them (without telling them the real price or origin), and rate them. some boxed wines made the top 100. keri205: really? PinkEditor: Costco is going to start selling its own brand wine and beer keri205: I always hear them being talked about being ghetto EvaFoLC: i would be interested in who actually did the tasting ... SueS hiccups and waves keri205: I think a couple of friends of mine had a bad hangover from one YConnell: thanks for the Chardonnay, W TopHatMan: mixed crowd, i think. some pros, some random people from the street. EvaFoLC: but hey, bottle or box - as long as it gets you drunk ... SueS: lol keri205: lol TopHatMan: what was interesting was how much telling them the price (even a fake price) affected their ratings. keri205: yeah I've read on that carolm sticks with caffeine free pepsi for now BriGal: I'm out of root beer :~( keri205: haha Eva TopHatMan: ooo, nice move, eva BriGal: tho I do have some diet Dr Pepper in the fridge Kaylle: yay super quick change! carolm: nice quick change!

I don't recomend it Kaethel: would you believe I've never ever had Dr Pepper? PinkEditor: it's gross, Kae Kaethel: I don't even know what it tastes like! PinkEditor: blech carolm: really k?

Kaethel: We've got a surprise for you with the next category. You're not gonna believe this, but two very famous businessmen volunteered to present a category in the Kerth Awards. Kaethel: well, it was supposed to be two businessmen, but Lex Luthor declined at the last moment (he had a prior engagement, his wedding to a reporter, I believe) Kaethel: and so Clark Kent, who had no engagement, agreed to come alongside Bruce Wayne and present. BruceWayne comes onto the stage dressed in a very sharp black tux. BruceWayne: Good evening. ClarkKent: Hello. BruceWayne: Apparently, Mr. Kent here tricked me in to attending tonight. ClarkKent: I did no such thing! BruceWayne: You told me I would be hosting Metropolis' 2008 Bachelor Auction, not a category in a newspaper awards. ClarkKent: First off, I didn't exactly SAY it would be a Bachelor Auction. And second, this isn't for the newspaper. BruceWayne: Oh no? ClarkKent: No. This is the awards Ceremony for the great and talented writers of fanfiction for the Lois and Clark fandom. BruceWayne: Then why the heck am I here? I'm not in any of your fanfic! ClarkKent: ...Actually, you'd be surprised. BruceWayne: Huh. What a revelation! Speaking of which, what category am I presenting, again? ClarkKent: Best Revelation. BruceWayne: You're kidding. ClarkKent: Nope. It just happened to be a coincidence that you said "what a revelation" when that was in fact the category that you're presenting. BruceWayne: What sort of revelation can there be in this show? It's not exactly as though someone here has a secret identity or anything! ClarkKent: ... BruceWayne: Seriously. It's not as though there's some character who just happens to actually be Superman and keeps it hidden from the girl that he loves for two or so years. ClarkKent: ... BruceWayne: I mean, come on! The man doesn't even wear a mask, let alone a cowl! How could people possibly be fooled by his alter ego? ClarkKent opens his mouth to say something, but hesitates before closing his mouth again. BruceWayne: Not to mention that little freckle mole thing he has! It's just so obvious! What, does he slip the freckle in his pocket while he's off being a regular Joe Schmoe? ClarkKent clears his throat and looks away, trying to concentrate on anything else. BruceWayne: And it would be hard to really hide his identity! I mean, unless he did something to distract people, such as wear ridiculous ties! Not to mention all the excuses he would have to come up with! Andâ^' heyâ^' that's an interesting tie you have thereâ^' And that little freckle thingâ^' BruceWayne scrutinizes Clark for a moment ClarkKent becomes desperate for a distraction and points behind Bruce. ClarkKent: Hey look, its BATMAN! BruceWayne turns in one fluid movement, completely shocked BruceWayne: What the... Where? ClarkKent: Just... keep looking... ClarkKent grabs an innocuous tie from the audience and borrows his wife's compact, replacing his tie and dabbing the power to his lip. All in SuperSpeed. BruceWayne slowly turns back BruceWayne: I don't know what you just saw, but it can't have been Batman. You know what else? I think you... hey, what happened to your tie! ClarkKent: What tie? I've been wearing this one all evening. BruceWayne: Riiiiiiiiiight. Do I have 'galatically stupid' written on my fore head? ClarkKent winces and glances at Lois. ClarkKent: No, of course not! Hey, who are the nominations? BruceWayne: Don't distract me now! It's on the tip of my tongue, this revelation concerning you! ClarkKent: The only revelation that I can give to you is that... ClarkKent pauses dramatically ClarkKent: I love my wife more than anything in the world! BruceWayne: Oh please. EVERYone knows that, Mr. Lane. ClarkKent: It's KENT, Batman! ClarkKent: Whoops! Did I say that out loud? BruceWayne sputters BruceWayne: How... When... BruceWayne: The only way you could have known that is if you used some sort of... BruceWayne: HOLY CRAP!! CLARK KENT IS SUPERMAN?? ClarkKent: Shhh! Not so loud! Not everyone needs to k now! This is a secret, in case you hadn't realized! BruceWayne: Clark "The Boyscout who is totally whipped by his wife" Lane is SUPERMAN?? ClarkKent: Shut up, Wayne! BruceWayne: Does your WIFE know about this?? ClarkKent: Yes, and please, just get back to those nominees! BruceWayne: did she find out? Before or AFTER you proposed?! ClarkKent: I'm warning you, Wayne, quit it! BruceWayne: What are you gonna do? X-Ray me to death? You can't beat me. I'm Batman. ClarkKent tugs on his tie, and flies off the stage BruceWayne: That's not fair... YOU KNOW I CAN'T FLY! ClarkKent: Nananana! BruceWayne whips out the Batarang and throws it after Clark, cursing when it bounces off. BruceWayne: Darn him and his whole 'invulnerability' thing... BruceWayne: Let's get this show over with then. The nominees are: BruceWayne: Brake Light Confessional by Sue S BruceWayne: Honeymoon in... Vegas by Sue S. BruceWayne: Like a Blizzard Through the Night by LaraMoon BruceWayne: Risorgimento by Sue S. BruceWayne: The Challenge by Caroline K. BruceWayne: The Kiss Off by CC Aiken and Erin Klingler BruceWayne: And the winner is... (Sound) drumroll.wav BruceWayne: I can't BELIEVE that Clark Frikkin Kent is SUPERMAN! BruceWayne clears throat BruceWayne: Sorry. It's just quite a revelation, you know! BruceWayne: And the winner is! (Sound) drumroll.wav BruceWayne: Honeymoon In... Vegas by Sue S (Sound) applause.wav |

EvaFoLC wants to be sue, for all kinds of reasons Kaethel: great, Sue's kissing Bruce, that leaves Clark with me... YUM!!! Lara_Joelle: You know, it's not fair. First she has Clark in the closet, then she also gets to kiss Bruce...

| Kaethel: And now here are two more BO contenders for you all! YConnell: Okay, I had a lot of fun selecting this excerpt. YConnell: It's from Honeymoon in...Vegas, by Sue S YConnell: lark was becoming less and less steady on his feet. He had to change the number of steps to seventy-five, YConnell: then to fifty. Now he was staggering along at twenty steps between rests. Lois had long since ceased to answer him, YConnell: and he was tortured by the thought that he was slowly killing her. Maybe he should have left her in the canyon where she had shade and water. YConnell: Clark tried, but couldn't manage more than ten steps. He dropped to his knees in the middle of the dusty road, setting Lois down as gently as he could in front of him. YConnell: His breath came in shallow pants as he tried to decide what to do next. There was no shade, no breeze, and no water. YConnell: They were going to die and there was nothing he could do to save them. YConnell: "I'm sorry," he mumbled to her. YConnell: She didn't answer and he was almost glad for it. YConnell: t was so much less painful to think that she would just drift from this world to the next without having to wake up and be in agony anymore. YConnell: "Lois," he murmured, "can you hear me?" YConnell: His shaky fingers felt for and found a pulse. It was faint, but at least it was there. YConnell: He pulled her onto his lap, cradling her in his arms despite how much it hurt to do so. YConnell: Clark kissed her cheek, then her closed eyelids. YConnell: "You don't have to stay with me anymore," he whispered into her hair. YConnell: "But I want you to know that I'm glad you married me. I love you. I've loved you since the day I met you. YConnell: All I ever wanted was to be able to hold you for the rest of our lives." YConnell: The words became stuck in his throat and he choked on a half-sob at the knowledge that he had gotten his wish. YConnell: "All I ever wanted," he repeated, hoping that she could hear him. "My wife." YConnell: ******** |
SueS: nice commercial! LisaMosley: Great job, LL :) sheilah: wow, a real commercial, not just a funny fake one. LoisLane9397: thanks :) lncjimmi hands loislane a dozen long stem red roses LoisLane9397: i really did dye my hair lois lane brown and i'm not going back...i love the color and have had it for months LoL BriGal: rofl SueS: hee! LoisLane9397 used to be dishwater brown ;) EvaFoLC: :o) sure you look great, LL LoisLane9397: blonde i mean LoisLane9397: LoL Elisabd8a: I had Lois Lane brown, but now there's the stray gray. LoisLane9397: yeah it makes me lois costume at conventions look more authentic SueS: I wondered what dishwater brown looked like ;) LoisLane9397: LOL ick Elisabd8a: I figured it was particularly dirty dishes. SueS: been sitting in the sink for days sheilah: gross BriGal dives behind the stage while the film rolls, looking for those stretchers Elisabd8a: Maybe dishes that were left while Clark was in the alt-universe. BruceWayne: I apologize for my rude departure earlier! lncjimmi has to go now because she is starving keri205 lays head to the side sleepily BriGal mumbles as she tosses things behind her and crawls further underneath the stage BruceWayne: I just figured I'd better get back to Lara before she missed me too much. BriGal: what the... a kerth award? Oh, wait, no, that's a prop SueS: lol BruceWayne: And now... who borrowed me? BruceWayne spins into Elisabd8a: Brucie! CatBru: Yes, tis I! BRUCIE!!! Elisabd8a: No wonder it took you so long to write your presentation speech! BriGal: more confetti, more empty bottles.. whoa, when did we have absinthe? a time machine, a pair of blue tights, a random shoe CatBru mails Wayne back to Lara in a small box Elisabd8a: I feel I've been upgraded as an archnemesis. |
| YConnell: Love those poignant moments in fanfic :) Kaethel: I told you we needed to sign that contract with Kleenex Ltd! YConnell: LOL! Kaethel: here's another excerpt, actually, from House of Cards, by MetroRhodes Kaethel: "Martha, Jonathan, if there's something you haven't told me Kaethel: about Clark, I think now would be a good time." Kaethel: "What do you mean, dear?" Martha asked, staring intently at Kaethel: her. Kaethel: "This situation could be worse than any of us thought if my Kaethel: suspicions hold true," Lois explained, "and I need to know the Kaethel: truth." Kaethel: "What truth?" Jonathan asked, eyeing her warily. Kaethel: Lois sighed in frustration. They were as bad as Clark. They Kaethel: obviously weren't going to make this easy on her, so she got Kaethel: right to the point. "I think there's a good chance that Lex had Kaethel: Kryptonite." Kaethel: Martha and Jonathan's faces both paled visibly and she thought Kaethel: she heard Martha's breath catch. If that wasn't an admission Kaethel: then she didn't know what was. "Can Kryptonite kill Clark?" Kaethel: Martha sighed, turning away from Lois to look back at her son. Kaethel: "We don't..." Kaethel: "Martha, wait," Jonathan urged her. Kaethel: Martha looked up and frowned at him. "No, Jonathan. She knows Kaethel: already. Can't you see?" She turned back to face Lois. "You Kaethel: do, don't you?" Kaethel: ********** |
CatBru: LOL! SuperBrucie: Wow! There are two of me! >.> BriGal: lol Chrispat: That was great, Cat ;) SuperBrucie: Hee! Thanks! keri205: that was really funny Cat lncjimmi says goodbye to everyone and good luck to all future nominees today and congrats to all who have won BriGal: wait, here's a stretcher! Er, that one needs cleaned first CatBru: I'm your alter ego. You know, the one that is ALLOWED to be devious! carolm sniffles - don't die lois lncjimmi passes out the rest of my vodka SuperBrucie: Phew! I was feeling a little multipersonalitied for awhile... BriGal: oh, here's some!

SuperBrucie: =D Glad I was convincing! ;) keri205: not completely EvaFoLC: lol keri205: ;) BriGal: awwww keri205: just sleepy keri205: I'll take coffee is anyone has it |
| Kaethel: and we're back with the next part of the ceremony! Everyone come back to their seat, please! (Sound) wandad.wav Kaethel: and it's a good thing I didn't drink too much of that delicious raspberry margarita you're all having, because I wouldn't know how to get to the presentation stage otherwise ;) (Sound) lol.wav Kaethel: And what are we going to talk about? Well, what brought us all here tonight, what brings us all together, year after year, at the Kerth Awards, and day after day, on message boards, chat channels, fanfic archives... Kaethel: What do we have in common? We're all fans, true fans of a timeless TV show that survives throughout the years. Kaethel: You know you've become a fan of a TV show (as opposed to being an occasional viewer) the day you're watching an episode and get the urge to close your eyes and think of many different ways things could have gone. Kaethel: You're sitting in front of your TV, glued to the screen, watching a brilliant scene in an equally brilliant episode, and then it's there, that niggling feeling at the back of your head, the sensation that the scene would have been even more satisfying for you if the writers had taken more time to explore the characters' feelings and reactions, or just gone in a completely different direction. Kaethel: There are voices in your head, and no, that doesn't mean you've turned schizophrenic and that you need a padded cell and a shirt with sleeves attached at the back, it just means you've been hit by the Episodical Adaptationite (a distant cousin of the Kryptonite, I believe), worse than the effects of Kryptonite on Superman. And there's only one cure to that. Kaethel: Before you know what's happening, you're sitting in front of your computer and writing up a storm, and the thirty-second-long scene from a TV episode becomes a five-hundred-pages epic on the message boards. Kaethel: Writing an episode adaptation is basically moulding a scene to your heart's content, taking it to whatever direction you'd wished to see explored on TV. It's exhilarating, it's inspirational, and to me, it's just the best of both worlds: creating something from a scene that particularly moved you. Kaethel: This year, we got plenty of writers hit by the syndrome, and here are the six stories readers selected for the Best Episode Adaptation category: Kaethel: [K]nightfall by Laramoon Kaethel: Pheremone by Nan Smith Kaethel: Platonic by Sue S Kaethel: Stardust by Caroline K Kaethel: The Green Green Haunting of Home by Terry Leatherwood Kaethel: The Newlywed Game by Nan Smith Kaethel: Good luck, everyone! (Sound) drumroll.wav Kaethel fumbles with the envelope Kaethel: And the winner is... (Sound) drumroll.wav Kaethel: Stardust by Caroline K!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Sound) applause.wav |

Wendymr: ah well, it's a moderated channel. Whoever it is can't do anything SuperBrucie pulls out a Clark Bar and opens it as deviously as her Good Persona is allowed... EvaFoLC wants a Clark bar, too TopHatMan: brucie... good? since when? am i in the wrong universe again? EvaFoLC would also settle for just Clark TopHatMan: (oh, and... back.) SuperBrucie breaks off a piece for Eva and jumps a little as pieces of Clark Bar flies everywheres... SuperBrucie hands the piece to Eva keri205 wonders if the bar has coffee BriGal claps for the clips EvaFoLC: thanks, cat Dave7: completely off-topic, but: is this shirt maroon or brown? http://www.leavemethewhite.com/firefly/displayimage.php?album=1&pos=124 Elisabd8a: Is this another picture of a hand in a bowtie? Elisabd8a: Hi, Fishbox. We were wondering who you were on the boards. Dave7: no, just an argument with my brother. *g* EvaFoLC: dave: aubergine, i'd say :) BriGal: hello, fishbox YConnell swigs back the last of her Chardonnay and sits down SueS: fishbox = Kaiser Soze TopHatMan: the shirt is a dull maroon. the coat is, of course, brown. Dave7: now you're being difficult, Eva - I have to grab a dictionary for that Meowoof: Somewhere between maroon and brown - how's that? sheilah: I saw Yvonne and Kaethel reading selections, but what are BOs? keri205: Sue: lol EvaFoLC: dave: eggplant-coloured YConnell: Best Overall, sheila TopHatMan: best overall, sheila BriGal: Best Overall's sheilah: Ah, thanks Dave7: ... that's a maroon, right?

Lara_Joelle hurries to seat Dave7: and purple is closer to maroon Elisabd8a: Maroon shirt. Dave7 pulls at straws Ximemia: sheilah, i understand. I read Body Oder the first time myself... carolm: alisha!!!! BriGal: I woulda said brown Elisabd8a: Reddish brown coat. jennidebb: lol Xi EvaFoLC: dave: let me get this strange, er, straight: two guys arguing over shirt colours? SueS: lol - is good to win "best body odor"? Maybe that's a compliment? YConnell: hey, where's *my* raspberry margarita? TopHatMan: trust me, elisabeth. it's a browncoat. ;) Meowoof: red brown. BriGal eyes Dave. Are you writing Firefly fanfic? Elisabd8a: Did you miss that they were brothers? (Hence, they'll argue about anything.) BriGal grins Kaylle: (yay firefly!) SuperBrucie: Free booze? EvaFoLC: dave: sorry, i thought you meant the shirt: the coat is a rusty brown, i'd say mr_d8a: Raspberry Margarita with a slice of lemon sounds good EvaFoLC: elisabeth: sorry, i thought that was only true for sisters SueS: dementia - that's what we all have in common Dave7: 7ure i9derikopoygty Elisabd8a: You want to arm wrestle about it, Paul? Elisabd8a giggles at Paul. BriGal eyes Dave keri205: or shown more shirtless Clark Elisabd8a lifts a glass to toast dimentia.

| Kaethel: Time for our next category, FoLCs, and here's Jenn to present it PinkEditor: I would like to clarify first that I am still sober PinkEditor glares at everyone else Kaethel: LOL! Kaethel: unlike some people in the audience, you mean? ;) PinkEditor: I'm not naming names PinkEditor: Anyway, so I wrote this at 3 a.m. PinkEditor: so hopefully it is coherent PinkEditor: We all know how it goes: Boy meets girl. Boy and girl fall in love. Boy and girl live happily ever after. PinkEditor: But this is Metropolis. PinkEditor: Try boy meets girl. Boy loves girl but girl thinks boy is a hack. Boy and girl eventually fall in love, but oh yeah, boy forgot to tell girl he can, uh, kind of fly? Now it's big drama for boy and girl. PinkEditor: And yes, eventually, boy and girl live happily ever after. PinkEditor: The authors in this category not only know how to play by these rules, but they also know when to break them. And the result is some of the most gripping, romantic, and sometimes downright steamy fiction of the last year. PinkEditor: The nominees for Best Relationship are . . . PinkEditor: *Tracey, Between Best Friends* PinkEditor: "What would happen right now if we were just 'Lois and Clark, man and woman'? What would happen then?" PinkEditor: In this second-season story, Lois and Clark grapple with the age-old question: Just how close can best friends be before they cross the line and become more than just friends? PinkEditor: *Caroline K., Field of Dreams* PinkEditor: "And up there in his arms, with the Kent's cornfield spread out beneath us, I realized for the first time that I was in love with him." PinkEditor: After the first season, Lois escapes her shattered life in Metropolis for the tranquil solitude of Smallville, and along the way, finds herself -- and love. PinkEditor: *Sue S., Honeymoon in . . . Vegas* PinkEditor: "All I ever wanted was to be able to hold you for the rest of our lives." PinkEditor: What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas â^' unless you're Lane and Kent, whose second-season pursuit of a gangster results in an unlikely union under the most dangerous of circumstances. Can love survive anything -- even life and death? PinkEditor: *Sue S., Platonic* PinkEditor: "How do I know that he won't break my heart again? How do I know that I can trust him?" PinkEditor: In this third-season story, we head to the mountains to watch Lois and Clark struggle to come to terms with their very shaky relationship after he broke up with her. PinkEditor: *Caroline K., Stardust* PinkEditor: "If we can be born in an instant, and die in an instant, why can't we fall in love in an instant?" PinkEditor: The fantasies of two strangers by night and the reality of co-workers by day collide as Lois and Clark learn to live . . . work . . . and love together in this alternate beginnings story. PinkEditor: And the winner is .......... PinkEditor: hey drunky, drumroll please (Sound) drumroll.wav PinkEditor: PLATONIC BY SUE S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Sound) applause.wav |

| Kaethel: And here's Yvonne again, pasting another excerpt from a Best Overall contender YConnell stumbles back onto the podium YConnell: Okay, I had *just* as much fun choosing this excerpt as the last one. YConnell: It's from Platonic, by that woman who keeps taking off her clothes YConnell: When Lois came into the tent that night her hat was sitting on the pillow. She let out a delighted laugh and wondered just how far away the wind had carried it. YConnell: "You found my hat." She leaned forward and kissed him. YConnell: "Yes." Clark raised his hand to hold her head for another, longer kiss. YConnell: "Thank you." She reached out and picked up the hat. Then she gasped. Beneath it was a black velvet box. "Oh," she said, caught off guard. YConnell: Clark cleared his throat nervously. "Doesn't that belong to you, too?" YConnell: "I thought I'd lost this forever," Lois whispered. YConnell: She felt confused, elated and terrified all in the same instant. The hat dropped from her grasp and she took hold of the box with shaky fingers. YConnell: Her mind swam, trying to make sense of what was happening. Was he proposing? Did she want him to propose? YConnell: "You didn't lose it," he corrected her. "I did. *I* almost lost it forever." YConnell: "What..." her voice trailed away and she realized she didn't know what to say. YConnell: he opened the box and they both caught their breath. She looked at him, but the glare off his glasses from the lantern hid his eyes from her. YConnell: "I don't understand. Are you proposing to me again now?" YConnell: "I already have," he told her, "and you said you needed time to think about it. I'm not trying to rush you. I just hope that you're still thinking about it." YConnell: Her mind didn't seem able to hold a thought longer than a second or two. Clark, kneeling in the rain and proposing to her. Seeing him spin into Superman for the first time. YConnell: Seeing Superman that first time on the shuttle. The look on his face when she said she needed time to think after he proposed. YConnell: Clark telling her they couldn't be together. Clark, kneeling in the rain... YConnell: Lois reached out with her other hand and pulled his glasses off. His eyes were just as warily hopeful as they had been the first time he had offered himself to her. YConnell: "You don't have to answer right now," he said softly. "With everything that's happened, I know you must still need time." YConnell: "So why...?" Again, her voice failed her. YConnell: "It's yours." Clark felt foolish. YConnell: He had rushed into this. It had been stupid to think that just because she had let him undress her meant they could pick up where they left off. YConnell: "It always was yours and it always will be. You keep it, please. It's yours." YConnell: She shook her head and held the box out to him. "Clark, I..." YConnell: "Please?" His eyes were serious, his expression almost pained. "Please, just keep it while you think about it?" YConnell: "All right," she said quietly. The box made a soft 'snap' as it closed. YConnell: ************ |
carolm: heehee keri205: ?? carolm: i think we're still out alishaknight: don't ask, i have a strange thought process! carolm: unless yvonne finished that contract... keri205 wipes eyes with sleeve BriGal: aawwww Kaethel: we're still negociating with Kleenex.

| Triciaw: And here's an excerpt from another fantastic story - Stardust by Caroline Triciaw: < Triciaw: "I think we need to talk, Ms. Lane." Triciaw: "Well I don't. Goodbye." She was up and out of her seat and Triciaw: headed away from him before the words were out of her mouth. Triciaw: He had a considerable speed advantage though, and caught up to Triciaw: her in seconds. "Ms. Lane," he said angrily, "I think I have a Triciaw: right to..." Triciaw: He trailed off. Triciaw: Searched the face that was turned on him in utter fury. Triciaw: "Wanda...?" he whispered. Triciaw: "Don't call me that!" she hissed. Triciaw: "I...I'm very confused." And he was. He was so confused. Because Triciaw: this was Wanda Detroit, but it also clearly *wasn't*. "We need Triciaw: to talk." Triciaw: "No. No we don't. I need to work, and you need to leave. So Triciaw: goodbye. Good luck to you...wherever." She made an agitated Triciaw: motion with one hand and then turned away from him again, but Triciaw: this time he put a hand on her shoulder, stopped her. Triciaw: "You left me without saying goodbye." His voice trembled with Triciaw: shock and hurt and anger and a whole host of other emotions that Triciaw: he'd be weeks sorting out, and he took a moment to steady it, to Triciaw: attempt to sound calm and rational. "And then you tried to cost Triciaw: me a job - a job you knew perfectly well that I needed. Triciaw: Now Triciaw: either we find someplace private to talk, or we have this Triciaw: conversation standing right here where everyone can listen. Triciaw: Which is it going to be?" Triciaw: Her eyes flashed briefly, but then she said, "We can use the Triciaw: conference room." She whirled away and led him to a little Triciaw: glassed-in room, taking herself immediately to the farthest Triciaw: corner of it and crossing her arms defensively. Triciaw: *********** |

| Kaethel: thanks guys! And once again, best of luck to all our BO nominees! Kaethel: I see the chat channel is into Doctor Who discussion, and guess what? You're right in sync with our next category! Kaethel: Travel between parallel universes is impossible, they all say in the world of Science Fiction. Kaethel: (and for those of us who watch DW, don't we wish it was possible...) Kaethel: Hah! Like we're gonna believe that. Impossible is just the word we need to get started on a story, after all. Doesn't matter if we have to use a time machine, a black hole, a blue police box, a ladder or a box of staples, writers can hop from one universe to another with just one hit on their keyboard. Kaethel: Lois & Clark gave us a whole universe to play with, and even an alternate world, should we wish to help Clark Kent find his Lois and finally get the happiness he deserves, but that just wasn't enough for the wild imagination of some of our writers. Kaethel: That's how brand new universes get created, where an innocuous decision made by one of our favourite characters makes the world completely different from what we got to see on TV. Kaethel: And isn't that fun? Creating a brand new universe, another parallel world where the possibilities are infinite. Infinite possibilities, isn't that what we all thrive in the fanfic world? Kaethel: So yes, travelling between parallel worlds is possible, and we do it on a daily basis in our stories! Kaethel: Stopquitdont, Nan and Laura did it as well, and the world they explored is now being featured in the 2008 Kerth Awards. So without further ado, here are the nominees for the Best Alternate Universe / Elseworlds Story: Kaethel: Coming of Age by Stopquitdont Kaethel: Halloween by Nan Smith Kaethel: Second Choice by Nan Smith Kaethel: That Charming Smallville Hospitality by Laura S Kaethel: When Galaxies Divide by Stopquitdont Kaethel: And the envelope is... stuck in a parallel universe, darnit! Kaethel: Thank goodness HG Wells is around. (Sound) drumroll.wav Kaethel: The problem with parallel universe is that they create multiple worlds, all stacked together... and this is why we actually have a tie!!! (Sound) woohoo.wav Kaethel: That Charming Smallville Hospitality by Laura S Kaethel: When Galaxies Divide by Stopquitdont Kaethel: congrats to you both!!! (Sound) applause.wav |
BriGal: really? Wendymr: ooh! A DW fic award? ;) Elisabd8a: Best crossovers? Elisabd8a: I didn't vote for that one.

| Kaethel: And now Yvonne will present our next award :) YConnell bounces onto the podium this time YConnell: We fanfic writers are constantly striving to replicate as faithfully as we can the characters given to us by the original TV show. YConnell: It's a challenge to be creative and new whilst remaining within the confines of the characters we're given, YConnell: nd there are plenty of robust and lively discussions on the message boards to prove just how much characterisation matters to readers and writers alike. YConnell: However, sometimes we just can't contain our creativity, and a fresh new character pops onto the page. YConnell: This is where fanfic writing gets really exciting - here is where we can really flex our creative muscles and invent a totally new person. YConnell: Someone who didn't exist before we created them. YConnell: It's a bit like giving birth...um...not too sure what Paul and Shayne would make of that metaphor. YConnell: Moving swiftly on... YConnell: And then there are the supporting characters. YConnell: It takes a special writing talent to flesh out a fully-rounded character from the minimal sketches we get from the show. YConnell: Here, again, is where we can exercise our imaginations to their fullest and give our readers a little more than they got from the show alone. YConnell: All of this year's nominees for Best Original or Supporting Character have brought new life to the characters they've created or developed. They are: YConnell: Elisabeth, for Bobby Bigmouth in Adventures at the Museum YConnell: Shayne, for Lisa in Family Hour YConnell: Caroline K, for Luke in Fly Away Home YConnell: ML Thompson, for Samantha Richards in Vindication YConnell: Janet Owens, for Sammy the Spider in Step Into My Parlor YConnell: and, finally, YConnell: Paul-Gabriel Wiener, for Tommy Garrison in Steel Shadows. YConnell: And the winner is... (Sound) drumroll.wav YConnell: Ooh, we have another tie! Pink polka dots this time. (Sound) woohoo.wav YConnell: Lisa - Family Hour by Shayne T YConnell: Samantha Richards - Vindication by ML Thompson (Sound) applause.wav |
ShayneT: it's an honor just to be nominated ShayneT: a lot ShayneT: heh SueS: it really, really, REALLY is! Elisabd8a: A huge honor. LisaMosley: It really is! Elisabd8a: And the pictures in the archive are so perty. ccmx: very true :) LisaMosley: I just aim for one of those little icons every year - I don't care what color it is! SueS: I know - spruces up the page a bit :) LisaMosley: No problem Kae :) keri205: tells me what not to miss! ShayneT: here's my one nomination coming up... carolm: umm... has yvonne been drinking? SueS: lol - looks like it Elisabd8a crosses my fingers for Shayne. ShayneT: thanks Meowoof: No, she's just elated because Clark is under her desk. BriGal: lol PinkEditor: he escape from sue's closet? Elisabd8a likes the body in Yvonne's hair when she bounces. BriGal: it'd probably be more George than Clark.. PinkEditor: Um, George who? SueS: he'll be back - he always comes back BriGal: rofl BriGal: george the psychiatrist ShayneT: sounds painful Meowoof: Stopped by to visit me for a minute. BriGal: quite keri205: lol Sue you make that sound like a threat Wendymr: lol Elisabd8a: I'm sure it's very painful. It was for me and I'm more built for it. SueS: maaaaybe Elisabd8a: re Sheila. PinkEditor: my hero!

| YConnell: Yay, Shayne and ML!!!! ShayneT: Wow. It's been a while since I've been up on this stage. I figured that being up against ML it was going to be a good bit longer. ShayneT: Happily, this year I haven't been forced into a dress. ShayneT: or a tiara ShayneT: But it's a real honor to be up here, staring out at the bright lights. ShayneT: I'm touched and honored. ShayneT: You like me...you really really like me! ShayneT: Kaethel: Yep, we like you, Shayne. Especially in a dress. ;) ShayneT: Well, I'm enjoying the lack of a breeze. ShayneT: ShayneT: So thanks to everybody! ccmx: hi ccmx: I'm really excited about this - ML has written so many wonderful stories and Vindication was terriffic ccmx: Samantha was one of those unique characters whom you just rolled your eyes over, hugely diapproved of, and yet understood too - a complex character! ccmx: and Sonny - he out-nobled Clark Kent imo ccmx: anyway, I know ML will be thrilled by this - will compensate for all the snow, and so for her, thank-you:) Kaethel: and congrats again to both ML and Shayne! |

I thought it was great. sheilah: award tie BriGal: Best Alt/Elseworlds Elisabd8a: No way! BriGal: lol EvaFoLC: lol LisaMosley ponders Shayne in a dress and tiara SuperBrucie: Aww SHayne! No dress? Ximemia: oh so cute in that tiara BriGal: careful, I did dig up a few tiaras. It can still happen :-D Meowoof: Good thing, Shayne. You'd look pretty silly in a dress and a tiara. Elisabd8a thinks about Pretty, Pretty Shayne. BriGal: lol SuperBrucie: hee! ccmx: Shayne has rejected cross-dressing? BriGal: rofl LisaMosley: LOL! BriGal: Okay, Sally Triciaw: LOL Elisabd8a: And he thought it was an honor just to be nominated. What a great speech. (Er.. it was a good speech before Sally Fields showed up.) ccmx: could I accept for ML? BriGal: rofl EvaFoLC: lol, elisabeth LisaMosley lends Shayne her tiara jennidebb: Carol, she'd love you to accept for her,I think Kaethel: does anyone want to accept for ML? Meowoof: Shayne becomes Shayna. Elisabd8a: CCMX said she would. Kaethel: Oh right! Missed that sorry jennidebb: ccmx could accept Wendymr notes that the grand tradition of winning awards by not being present is continuing ;) YConnell: lol BriGal: lol Wendymr: except in Sue's case BriGal: oh yes LisaMosley makes plans to be busy next year :) ccmx: so it's okay? BriGal: Sue's a special case Wendymr: in Sue's case she'd win present or absent YConnell: Ooh, does that mean I've won the lottery? SueS: I've never won a lottery yet LisaMosley: Kae voiced you Carol, hop up there BriGal: me either Elisabd8a: Are you out of state? Triciaw: Carol, it's okay YConnell: Or doesn't it work for gambling? ShayneT: um...what do you say when you are done? SueS: not a bit BriGal: apparently not Meowoof: Kerth lottery. =) SuperBrucie: HI! BriGal: Shayne, I think you stumble off the stage. It's what everyone else seems to be doing. BriGal: but you might want to wait until Carol is done :-) carolm is going to have to go clean the van [and see what's growing in there] so DH can go pick something up Elisabd8a: That usually takes us a good half an hour, and it's still unsanitary when we're done carolm: well he has to go get something so i'm just going to get it clean enough to fold the seats ShayneT thought she was talking about him stumbling off the stage carolm: samantha was great carolm: brb ShayneT: and was going to say, "I'm house trained. It's not THAT unsanitary" ShayneT: BriGal: lol sheilah: lol, shayne Elisabd8a: Oh, Shayne! You crack me up. ShayneT: thanks Elisabd8a: Don't let me distract you. Keep writing! sheilah: Both characters were great original creations. BriGal: lol. no! SuperBrucie: Yes you DOOOO! LisaMosley: That's where you're wrong, Sue! BriGal: No you don't! carolm: back |
| Kaethel: And now I'll ask Sue to step onto the stage again, this time not to accept an award (*grins*) but to pass on the famous tiara! SueS: I'm so nervous! But it's okay - I don't have to strip when presenting. Right? SueS takes deep breath and mutters, "No stripping. No stripping." Triciaw: Sure you do! Kaethel: it's not a requirement, no ;) Kaethel: LOL Kaethel: well, not COMPLETELY SueS: It's no easy feat to get noticed in a long-standing community that's bursting at the seams with talented writers. It would seem that everything has already been written, that there are no new stories to tell. All six of the nominees for Best New Author are here because they gave us the characters we thought we knew so well and made them new again. Kaethel: you can keep your socks on SueS: I went through most of the stories these authors wrote last year and I was going to quote the stuff that made them stand out. And then I realized that it would be unnecessarily cruel. We all know what they wrote and, right now, they just want me to get on with this already and announce the winner. Triciaw: Off with the socks as well! SueS clears throat SueS: One last quick note -- I was told that a tiara comes with this award. I've waited and waited, but apparently Dave is not going to give it up. So I have lovingly and painstakingly crafted (from aluminum foil and a few paper clips), a reasonable facsimile of a tiara. May you wear it in good health. SueS: The nominees for Best New Author 2008 are: SueS: Anonpip - A Conversation Best Overheard SueS: Beth Summerson - An Early Revelation - Top Copy SueS: Cape Fetish - All She Could Do, In The Game Of Love SueS: EditorJax - 10:31, Southern Nights SueS: Elisabeth - No, In Any Language SueS: Laura S - Teaching Indecency SueS: And the winner is.... (Sound) drumroll.wav SueS: lol - just realized that I still had their story names in there SueS: Best New Author 2008 is... SueS: EditorJax (Sound) applause.wav |
ccmx: did I come in too soon, was Shayne still on? I'm sorry ShayneT: strip off the tiara anyway LisaMosley: re carol LisaMosley: No I think you were good Carol ShayneT: now she's not new anymore Elisabd8a: You were fine. Shayne was done. ShayneT: she's old and tarnished ShayneT: a fanfic veteran ShayneT: heh LisaMosley: *snort* ShayneT: like the rest of us BriGal: lol alishaknight: speak for yourself carolm: lol Meowoof: Seems fitting that last year's best new author should be presenting this years... ShayneT: Or maybe we just corrupted her... LisaMosley: like the Oscars Elisabd8a: It's a tradition. Wendymr: that's the tradition Wendymr: I started it, way back in the day ShayneT: did I hand mine off? carolm got shayne's tiara BriGal: I think you did Elisabd8a: Did you really Wendy? carolm: i don't remember who gave it though Wendymr: no, Shayne, you didn't turn up :P Wendymr: I filled in for you BriGal: oh Kaethel: ROTFL Sue! ShayneT: aww ShayneT: sorry EvaFoLC: lol on the tiara BriGal: oh,that's right. you suck :-P BriGal grins carolm: tis okay - then you didn't mess up your hair taking it off Wendymr will smack Dave when she sees him later BriGal: lol, Sue!

| SueS hugs Jenn PinkEditor is actually crying right now PinkEditor: PinkEditor: I can't even begin to say what this means to me PinkEditor: I started posting my first story one year ago today, ironically PinkEditor: and it was my escape PinkEditor: it's a lot easier to write about other people's problems, you know? PinkEditor: In the last year, I lost something precious, but I also found something precious ... you guys PinkEditor: the support from this fandom has been what kept me going PinkEditor: this is for my friends, for sue and lara and trin, chris and jenni and lori and sheila and everyone who was there with me ...

| Kaethel: We'll be having our very last category soon, but first, we have a couple of important announcements. Kaethel: LOL. No, Wendy, Shayne isn't pregnant. ;) Kaethel: Dave is. YConnell: lol YConnell: Always thought that boy had talent Kaethel: lol Kaethel: Right, FoLCs, before the Alt-Kerth Committee makes his announcement, K-Com also has something to tell you all. Kaethel: *cue drumroll* (Sound) drumroll.wav Kaethel: I'm NOT pregant! YConnell falls over Kaethel: yes, I know, it comes as a total surprise, doesn't it? Triciaw: And I'm NOT pregnant Kaethel falls over, too! YConnell: Oh, and I, too, am NOT pregnant Kaethel: Oh come on, we just HAD to make that joke. Stop rolling your eyes. *dodges rotten tomatoes coming her way* Kaethel: amazing, isn"'t it? None of us on the committee are pregnant! Triciaw: Truly amazing!! Kaethel: but seriously, and coming to the point... Kaethel: I do have something to say, and no, it's not the word "LABOUR!" ;) Kaethel: As you know, Yvonne, Tricia, Elena and I joined the committee after Pam, Erin and Kathy retired a few years ago. We had a fantastic time putting the event together every year, and it's been a great experience working together and doing our best to make this as much fun as possible for everyone in the fandom. Kaethel: Thanks to all the people who took part, who helped behind the scenes or on stage, it's been a fun process and we've enjoyed it a lot. Kaethel: We'd like to extend a special thanks to KathyM, our ever-faithful external vote counter. She's always extremely helpful and efficient, and gives the entire process an additional stamp of authority. Kaethel: However, it's time for both Yvonne and myself to move on to new, exciting adventures, and next year's Kerth Awards will see a renewed K-Com on boards. Kaethel: (and trust me, my heart is really pounding at announcing this, and this is a hard decision to make when, like us, you're very attached to the Kerth Awards and the world of fanfic) Triciaw: I will miss Yvonne and Kae! They have worked extremely hard on the Kerth committee Kaethel: Tricia has agreed to step in as coordinator, and I have complete faith that she'll do a fantastic job, and she won't be alone to do the job, don't worry. We'll make a later announcement about the new committee in a few days, but tonight, Yvonne and I just wanted to say many, many thanks for your support throughout the years we were on the committee. Kaethel: Thank you all guys YConnell: Yes, many thanks. :) Kaethel: and I'm gonna need those Doomsday leftover kleenexes now, Wendy Triciaw: I'm looking forward to being coordinator! Thanks Kae and Yvonne for all your hard work Triciaw: It is greatly appreciated YConnell feels a group hug is only moments away ;) Kaethel: *grouphug* Triciaw: grouphug |

Saskia: In keeping up with tradition, we thought we would let you know about our plans for this year. (Sound) drumroll.wav Saskia: First of all, we have some very sad news. Anna has decided to leave us. :( Her heart isn't into the awards anymore, and she doesn't have as much time on her hands any longer. So with pain in our hearts, we must say goodbye to her. We'll miss you, Anna! Saskia: She has assured me, though, that she won't leave the fandom, since her love for Lois and Clark is just as strong. But that pesky RL! Saskia: Anyway, on to other news... SuperBrucie primps the Mannequin's hair SuperBrucie: However, with change comes... er... even more change! SuperBrucie: So I would like to introduce to you our newest member! SuperBrucie: brbrbrbrbrbrbrbr (Sound) drumroll.wav SuperBrucie: (That was my own drumroll, by the hoo ;) ) SuperBrucie: WOO! Thank you, Saskia. SuperBrucie: LARAMOON!

SuperBrucie: ... SuperBrucie: Darn, I KNEW I should have added a voice box! Saskia: Shame, that! SuperBrucie: I know! Yeesh. Saskia: We also have to announce that there won't be a ceremony in June this year. SuperBrucie: Oh well, all I had was some spare tubing, chewed gum, a pompom, and a LOT of poptart wrappers... SuperBrucie pauses dramatically Saskia: But as it looks now, we will be returning in the spring! SuperBrucie: We haven't decided on a theme yet, but there are plenty of options left. Saskia: sorry. It just got pointed out to me that spring is June... It's late, okay ;) Saskia: we wanna come back in the FALL! SuperBrucie: Yes! The fall! Probably around my birthday, too! Saskia: :D SuperBrucie: ...Which is in the fall! =D Saskia: so look for more announcement on a message boards near you soon! Kaethel: Thanks, Sas and Catherine!

Kaethel: or maybe coz you followed Lisa's cue and stripped off your clothes! SuperBrucie looks down SuperBrucie: I thought it was rather drafty. SuperBrucie strikes a pose Kaethel: *grins* |

Wendymr: And enjoy your retirement :)))) Lara_Joelle: lol, CAT! LisaMosley: Maybe we should drink more Kaethel: thanks, Wendy :)))) sheilah: did you vote in the first Kerths, Wendy?

BriGal: this fandom is the most supportive group of people you'll ever meet Wendymr: you'll get encouragement and yells for more carolm gets big bowl of ice cream after last announcements SueS: it's the nicest fandom in the world! RonaV: oh i know you're all nice, i've been lurking for about two years ccmx: 2000 ideas - i say , go for one! ShayneT: have you ever seen any feedback that said "U suk!" BriGal: yeah, they'll nag and nag, but if you just ignore and put them off, they'll eventually forget... LisaMosley: No kidding, I've only got about 3 ideas! SueS: only privately :) ShayneT: outside other fandoms I mean BriGal whistles LisaMosley: Karen, we never forget! BriGal: wanna bet? BriGal grins ShayneT: pick an idea LisaMosley glares at Kae for one particular unfinished fic ;) ShayneT: write it ShayneT: post it Kaethel shuffles her feet carolm: new fic?!?!

CapeFtish: Alright, RL calls. Congrats to all the winners!! Everyone have a good day/evening/night! Kaethel: well, Lisa, a year or so ago, I wrote for the Doctor Who fandom.

ShayneT: I should write a doctor who fic LisaMosley: I know, but I remain hopeful CapeFtish: Bye! BriGal: you should never leave a fandom with unfinished fic BriGal: hmph carolm: is there going to be a motivation poster category or two?!??! LisaMosley: So now it's not spring 09 but fall 08? BriGal: I'm confused LisaMosley is a little confused Elisabd8a is waiting for an announcement on a message board near her. SueS: she lost me too Elisabd8a: and waiting.... and waiting... LisaMosley will follow Elis's good example BriGal: lol sheilah: afk Elisabd8a: Felicity told everybody. SuperBrucie: Darn that cat! ;) LisaMosley: Felicity?? LisaMosley: Nekkid Brucie! |
| Kaethel: aaaaanyway, drafty or not, now has come the category you're all waiting for... BEST OVERALL!!! Kaethel: and Saskia will present :) BriGal grabs a dressing gown, runs up on stage, and quickly covers SuperBrucie, then runs off into the background. Kaethel: lol Saskia: Yay me! Are you tired of me yet? *g* SuperBrucie: But but! Kaethel: thanks Karen Kaethel: nope, never tired of you, Sas Kaethel: ;) Saskia: phew! SuperBrucie hrmphs at the clothedness and trudges offstage to let Saskia have her spotlight Saskia: I just got asked (volunteered, depends on how you look at it) to present this last award of the evening. And with just, I mean like two minutes into the ceremony! Saskia: But I'm a nice gal, and I can write fast, plus I had this little idea... Saskia: Though I did wonder what overalls had to do at the ceremony. I mean, sure, we're all dressed up in these sexy dressing gowns and fancy tuxedos. But what else would you wear to an awards ceremony? Saskia: So I asked myself, who would be wearing overalls? Saskia: It's not like you *had* to work today. It's Saturday! Sunday, even, if you live in Australia. And the people who wear overalls to work usually don't work during the weekend. Saskia: So you see, I'm stumped. Saskia: Overalls and Kerths... Saskia: Kerths and Overalls... Saskia: Oooh! I see! There's a theme there! You know, as in best Overall Story! Saskia: No? Not a funny joke? Saskia: I am still drunk, of course... Saskia: But at this hour of the day, I have no muse to make up pretty stories anymore. Saskia: All joking aside, it's quite an honour to be nominated in Best Overall of any given year. It means the readers really enjoyed your story. Even more than all the other fantastic stories that are out there. Because, let's face it, we have authors who all come up with the most brilliant things, year after year. Saskia: And it's darn hard to decide who gets to win in this category, too. Saskia: So let's take a look at our excellent nominees: Saskia: Coming of Age by Stopquitdont Saskia: Field of Dreams by Caroline K. Saskia: Honeymoon in... Vegas by Sue S. Saskia: House of Cards by MetroRhodes Saskia: Platonic by Sue S. Saskia: Stardust by Caroline K. Saskia: I could hash out what they're all about, but you all got to read the lovely excerpts during the commercial breaks. So let's get straight to the point you've all been waiting for. It's late here, anyhow. ;) (Sound) tempbrak.wav Saskia: Whoopsie! Wrong sound file. Excuse your DJ for a moment... Saskia: And the winner is: (Sound) drumroll.wav Saskia: Honeymoon In ... Vegas by Sue S (Sound) applause.wav |

EvaFoLC: sue: that would have been nice - especially if you were a toddler :o) SueS: yes, overalls make the best handle to carry your toddler around BriGal: lol. definitely LisaMosley keeps her own counsel regarding Jenn's nausea Elisabd8a: I was born in Oshkosh, back when that was a little po-dunk company. carolm2: I cannot believe I did that Wendymr: hey, we have quite a few former Best Overall winners here tonight, don't we? Wendymr: that's nice jennidebb: good luck everyone Triciaw: Good luck everyone BriGal shakes her head. mom asked how the awards were going, I had to explain about the naked drunkeness PinkEditor: well it's good I am not drunk like all of you!

YConnell bows Wendymr: we non-committee members don't know what goes on behind the scenes, or how much work they do Wendymr: believe me, it's a LOT Wendymr: and both Kaethel and Yvonne have had a lot of other things occupying their time and emotions over the last six months or so, so it's extra-amazing that they devoted all this time to the Kerths and the fandom Wendymr: so thank you for all you've done, Kae and Y, and enjoy your retirement :) Wendymr hugs you both and leaves the stage Kaethel hugs back tight YConnell: Aww, thanks, Wendy. Triciaw: Three cheers for Kae and Yvonne!
