One other question -- Should the "Best WAFFy" be the the best story (in terms of plot, character development, writing style, etc.) with a WAFF feel, or the story with the greatest "WAFF factor"?
I've read many of the shorter stories that have been nominated in the various categories; and so far, I have yet to find one that I think would be unworthy of winning the award. I'd like to take this opportunity to reiterate my congratulations to all nominees and also to agree with other posters in thanking the K-committee for all their work in organizing the awards.
cheers,
Lynn

I was afraid to thank whoever nominated my story because I figured I would wake up immediately afterward and find out I'd been dreaming. Or maybe H.G. Wells would appear and undo it all. I still have a hard time believing it. But here goes:[deep breath] thanks to everyone who submitted nominations, thanks to the committee, and congratulations to the nominees. <Pinching self to see if I wake up.>

Wow. Thank you to everyone for the nominations and the work of organizing. I think it says something about this show and this fandom that we still have so many great stories and new authors thirteen years after the show left production.  Happy dance
This *is* my happily ever after.

Sorry to be late to the party. My brother had a heart attack on Tuesday and my time has been sort of taken up since then, so I just noticed my story was nominated.
A big thank you to everyone who nominated my work. I genuinely didn't expect it, since I haven't been very active this last year. Real life has been a bear, recently. And a salute to the Kerth Committee for the incredible job they do every year.

Thanks to the committee for all their great work and also thanks for the noms!
I agree with HappyGirl - it is amazing that quality stories are still being written so long after the show finished.

Hi Nan, Just coming in here to say I understand what you mean about RL, and also to say I hope your brother recovers well. And, of course, to make amends for not thanking the committee in my last post. You do a great job every year, and it's amazing that the Kerth Awards have been going for over 10 years. I'm amazed ... and doesn't time fly!  Yours Jenni

Just a minor question: In the announcement, "Next Gen" was missing from the category, Alt Universe, Elseworldds. Will be the words 'Next Gen' be there on the final ballot?

 OMG! I've been camping this weekend and coming home to find this was even better than a long hot shower. Thank you so much to those of you who nominated my stories! I'm flattered, pleased and immensely excited to be included in such talented company.

I can see I have a lot of reading to do! Honestly, I didn't even think I'd recognize that many of the titles on this list, that's how far out of it I've gotten lately. But apparently I've read more than I thought, 'cause I'm seeing some favorites on this list. Way to go, authors! This fandom has such awesome talent. And then I about fell over, realizing that my name was on there... thank you, everyone who nommed my story!  Really, it's all Jenn's fault; she requested the story, I just wrote it to suit her specifications. But I've got to admit, it's nice to know that I haven't entirely lost my touch... So, I've got my pin, and I'm printing the list... PJ

He grinned at her - a goofy, Clark Kent kind of a grin. "I have a gift for understatement."

"I have a...."

Been out of town to our older son's wedding two states away and I just saw my name on the list. Thanks to all who thought so highly of my musical offering to nominate it. May the best stories win!
And, judging by the high quality of the other nominees, I will once again have to be satisfied with a "Nominated" icon beside my story. But that's okay, because I'm in excellent company.
I'm honored to be nominated. Thank you all so very much.

Hey, 'Nominated' works for me. Honestly, if I'm trolling around the archive looking for a good story, I'm just as likely to read one with the 'Nominated' icon as one with the 'Winner' icon. And then, if I like it, I'm likely to read other things by the same author, whether they were nominated or not. So I figure, come what may, all our stories will gain some new readers. And that's why we write them, after all--for the readers.  Seriously, I spent a couple of years reading a *lot* of L&C fanfic before I ever attempted to write any, and it was the warm welcome and encouragement and feedback from these boards that gave me the gumption to actually finish a story, so we'll just spread the credit liberally around the entire fandom. You guys rock. 
This *is* my happily ever after.

Oh, wow, and now I see I'm nominated. Thanks, guys. I'm honored.
When will we be able to volunteer for giving an award? That was a blast last year.
