And congratulations to everyone else who received nominations too. I see a number of my favourites from last year on this list, and yet again deciding who to vote for is going to be a complete nightmare. But fun, too!


Wendy (thinking of all those wonderful stories she needs to re-read )

Dang I have a lot to read before I vote. WTG everyone!

Thank you to the K-comm for getting the nominations finalized so quickly! And good luck to all the other nominees! Especially, thank you to everyone who nominated my stories . I am shocked and excited that I was actually nominated this year !

LabRat

Hi,

Congrats to all the nominees and good luck.

A big thank you to everyone who nominated 'A Gift For Life'.

Since it was my only eligible story this year, I'm fairly stunned... but wow!

I'm sure Stopquitdont is thrilled too.

Once again, I'd like to thank the Kerth Committee for all their hard work.

Yours Jenni

Shhhh...darn, you let the cat out of the bag. :p

This means I have to start reading again...a feat I don't have time for this month...but that I will eventually put off other things to, of course, do it...

Anywho, many congrats to all who were nominated; it looks like a great crop of stories this year!

Thanks, K-com!
Jen

I've been staring at this blank reply screen for ages. And try as I might, I can't put the words together well enough.

Thank you.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. I am just knocked down and so thrilled I can't even say.

Congratulations to all nominees. And thank you to K-com for all their work.

And, oh man, thank you for thinking of my stories! You were so very, very generous. More than I deserved.

CC

Huge congratulations to all the nominees and a big thanks to everyone who joined in the nominating process.

Yvonne

Now I really have to download mIRC again. I lost the free version a while ago, so now I have to try and find it again. Attending the ceremony is a must now, eh Tricia?

Congratulations to all other nominees! Yay!

Ursie

Wow, where do I start?? I'm flattered that so many of mine were nominated. Of course, looking at the competition, I know I haven't a prayer, but it's great just to be nominated, so thanks to everyone who liked my stories enough to nominate them and congrats to all the other nominees. It's an honor to be among such a group.

Nan

Congratulations to all the nominees! And good luck at the ceremony to all!

Artemis

Kudos to all, but then given the level of writing in this fanfic there are no bad Lois and Clark stories... well, except those that include young children and pregnancies (did I say that out loud?).

The Kerths are just a bit of fun that the denizens of this fandom like to play with, but I feel nearly all the stories written are deserving of recognition (excepting those mentioned above ).

If the awards provide a reason for someone to do a little extra reading, discovering a few new treasures, that's great. And if they inspire someone to take the plunge and try their hand at a little writing themselves, then the Kerths have truly done their job.

Tank (who feels that anyone who has the courage to put their efforts out there for all to see is a winner)

Speaking for the K-Com, you're welcome Although honestly I think sorting out the shortlist is our favorite part of the whole process You guys didn't make it easy, though, with all those great stories out there!

Congrats to all the other nominees and like Tank said, if this whole shebang inspires anyone to read a little further or start writing, we'll feel it was worth all the effort.

PJ

WOW! Thanks for nominating "He Said, She Said!" What an honor!!! It was a fun piece to write and I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Congratulations to ALL authors--nominated and not nominated. A big thank-you for keeping our favorite characters alive and well (or sometimes not-so-well, as the case may be...)! Good work, everyone!

Thank you, Kerth Committee for all your hard work as well!
