Didn't see DC's last comment (pretty sure I was commenting at the same time lol).
I feel as though if we let the Kerths die, we're basically giving up on keeping our fandom alive. They are special; it's rare that a fandom goes to the effort of giving recognition to the fanfic authors, and on top of that, they're a part of this fandom's history. And I think if we let them slide even for one year, it's going to be near to impossible to bring them back.
Just my two cents.
Also, like DC I have zero idea what to do with voting. Something else that's occurred to me is we may need admin access to the Kerth website- unless anyone has any other ideas.
I've sent messages to Tricia, Annette and Amber, just waiting on replies
