Back to say... I honestly believed that this year I would be sitting back and cheering the deserving nominees from the audience. I had no expectation at all of being nominated - after all, I really don't write L&C fic any more. And then I saw the list. Even as I'm still picking myself up from the floor, I want to say a huge thank you to everyone who nominated Finding Christmas Spirit. As I said at the time, it was a brief dipping of my toe in the water of L&C to see if I was still capable of writing the characters. I was overwhelmed by the lovely response to the story at the time, and now I'm stunned. Thank you.  Even if I know the other stories in the category are way better, it's an honour to be in there. Congratulations and good luck to all the other nominees! Wendy 
Just a fly-by! *waves*

I just wanted to give a huge, gigantic, *I can't think of any more words to describe 'big' because I'm still kind of in this odd shock* thank you to anyone who nominated me. I've read previous Kerth nominated stuff and I'm flabbergasted to find myself in such fantastic and skillful company. I'm really just stunned! And so excited! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Laura 
Thanks to CapeFetish for the awesome icon.

Congratulations to all the nominees! As ever, it's going to be a really tough year, trying to pin down the one best story in each category... as an overall note, I'm delighted that L&C is still producing such excellent stories and authors.  Thanks for all the hours of reading pleasure, nominees! PJ

I am in total shock here. It's an honor to be in the company of such great writers!

Wow. You know, for quite a while there, I forgot that I even had an eligible story this year? It's been a long time since I was involved in fic. And now... two noms? I'm quite proud of Steel Shadows, but I never really expected it to get a nomination. Lost Love was a throwaway piece which, in all honesty, I'd completely forgotten even existed. (Sorry, story!) Luckily, Wendy posted the link here, so I could go see what it was about...
(I should probably shut up now. I'm ruining my chances of winning, aren't I?)
Anyway... this is a shock. But... thank you!!
And, of course, congratulations to all the nominees!
Also... I see Steel Shadows, Between Best Friends, The Kiss-Off... How many of this year's nominees are DVD fics? That was an awesome project which produced some really high quality stories, sometimes from really unexpected people. Thanks again to the DVD crew for making it happen!
When in doubt, think about penguins. It probably won't help, but at least it'll be fun.

Wow, I'm amazed by how fast you guys were able to set up the list - thanks a lot, you are amazing! And I think this is the first year in which I actually nominated, so it's really cool to see that some of my favourites actually made it on the list Looking forward to an awesome ceremony Jana

Wow! Thank you so much to everyone who took the time to read and nominate my stories! I'm really just... overwhelmed  And big, huge, squishy congratulations to all the nominees! I'm delighted to see so many of my favorites from last year on that list - so many stories that entertained me, enlightened me, brightened my day, and often just plain blew me away with their word magic. You are all amazing! Caroline

Congratulations to all of the nominees! This is going to be another great year. Thanks, as well, to those who nominated me. I am humbled by the authors I get to rub shoulders with. Elisabeth who is always tempted to use those pins for purposes for which they were not intended  I'm showing great restraint
