Lois & Clark Forums Forums Fan Fiction Fanfic Related Eligible Stories 2012

Hi everyone!

I’m so sorry this has taken so long. I have been away since 21 December and only arrived home late last night. I had very limited net access. Just after Christmas, I also received news that I had a new position. All the access I had was used answering important work emails.

Below is a list of stories eligible for 2012 Kerths. If there is a story on the list that was eligible last year please let me know. Also if you want to make a story eligible please let me know.

A big thank you to LabRat and the archive team for the information.

Tricia

NEW AUTHORS 2012

Anti-Kryptonite
Deadly Chakram
Virginia R
Morgana
El
Mouserocks

You forgot Separate by Joan Powers aka scifiJoan.

And the epic Missing Lois by VirginiaR.

Separate wasn't included because this list originates from the Archive and Separate hasn't been uploaded there yet.

Stories which authors think are eligible but which weren't uploaded to the Archive during 2011 need to be presented for inclusion in this year's awards to K-Comm by the author - which you've just done for Separate.

If Missing Lois is eligible, Virginia will have to let K-Comm know if she wants it included in this year's Kerths.

Hi Tricia:

Can you include Green-Eyed Monster , which I submitted to the ARCHIVES prior to the end of the year? (Which I thought was the cut-off... the submission date, not the downloaded date newbie mistake). I'd also like to include Missing Lois , which I had finished posting on the Boards before the end of the year, but still am doing once last read-through before sending it to LabRat at the Archives (by the end of the month, I promise, Labby!) All my other stories not yet submitted or downloaded to the Archives can wait until next year.

Thanks.

/psst. My name is misspelled on your list. You're missing an "i" before the final "a".

Please add

Trusting Me, Trusting You , 2,226
Asking Lois Out , 62
Anniversary Surprise , 4

Thanks,

Corrina.

As far as the Archive goes, the cut off date is the story must be uploaded to the Archive by December 31st of the eligible year. 2011 in this case.

However, that's not the only criteria. If GEM was posted here on the mbs in its entirety - or anywhere else online - by December 31st 2011 it would still be eligible.

If it wasn't posted by December 31st and uploaded to the Archive after December 31st, however, then it wouldn't be eligible this year - no matter when it was submitted to the Archive.


LabRat

Both stories I managed to eke out last year are missing from the list. 'The Other Shoe' (which went up on the archive last week) and 'All I Want (For Christmas)'.

Thanks! And congrats on the promotion, Tricia!

Please remove my "A Few Frivolities" from the list of eligible stories. That archive submission is actually a collection of a few items that seemed to me too small to warrant submitting individually. The items included therein were considered eligible for last year's Kerth awards, and so should not be included in this year's.

Of course, it is a bit of a moot point, since, as the name implies, they were all frivolous and they would have had about as much of a chance to win as Lois would have of getting through a Tank story with her long hair intact.

Joy,
Lynn

I've also removed Taking One For The Team, which was part of an earlier compilation already considered in a previous year's Kerths.

LabRat

I'd like to point out that "Just Say My Name, Lois" is 14 and not 10 Kbs, according to the Archive.

Thanks for the list, Tricia!

Oh! The list!

Thanks for posting that for us, Tricia!

Rushes and updates xls-Sheet. We've got significantly more than 100 stories again!

Michael

I'm asking that Blind (Super)Man's Bluff be added to the list of eligible stories for the year.

Thanks,

ML

Did Mouserocksnerd not upload her stories to the archive? She's a new author this year and has posted a few stories.

I agree with DC, we need to include Mouserocks in the new author list even though she was 'too lazy' (I believe those were her words) and didn't send over any of her stories to the Archive in 2011.

Lazy indeed. I'm still meaning to post them on the archive. The real reason I haven't yet is because my computer died. It's not quite fixed yet (waiting for one more part, finger's crossed) and then I'll post everything. The only way I've been able to keep up commenting/posting is through the computers at my school, and I didn't really want to waste time/upload things from here...

Thanks for the consideration though. If I get my computer fixed before the month is out, that will be the first thing I do!

<just realized that I used Mouse's fanfic.net name instead of her user handle here>

Oops!

Sorry about your ongoing computer issues, Mouse!

I think there's some misunderstanding of the way the listing process works here and the importance of the Archive in it all.

So...quick clarification:

As a courtesy and as EIC of the Archive and on the understanding that K-Comm has enough to do in organising this event and doesn't need to spend time trawling through the net and the mbs trying to work out which stories and authors were new this year... at the start of the year I send them a list of every story uploaded to the Archive in the previous year.

That list forms the backbone of the eligible list. It just makes things easier for K-Comm and gives them a headstart. But it's by no means the whole list or the end of the process.

Over the days following its posting, the list will be tweaked considerably. Stories will be deleted as they are discovered to have been eligible in previous years for various reasons and authors may not want a particular story in competition for various reasons and can ask for them to be removed.

Likewise, stories will be added as authors who have posted a complete story somewhere online other than the Archive in the previous year and whose stories are therefore also eligible contact K-Comm and let them know that they want their stories included.

The Archive is by no means the only criteria for eligibility. If you've written and posted a story last year complete somewhere online, between January 1st and December 31st - be that the Archive, the mbs, a personal website or wherever - then it is eligible.

If you didn't send it to the Archive, the only difference between your story and the ones on the initial eligibles list posted above is that your story isn't automatically on the list and you'll be asked to inform K-Comm you'd like it to be. For exactly the same reasons as I send them the list - it's much easier to have authors notify K-Comm than it is for them to spend their time trying to track every story down.

And, of course, the same applies to the New Author award. If an author hasn't submitted any stories to the Archive in the previous year, it's more difficult for K-Comm to spot them. But all they need do is inform K-Comm they'd like to be included. Or - and this is the only award where it's possible to do this, in all others the author alone is the only one who can put their story in competition - others can inform K-Comm they are eligible on their behalf.

So, there's no need at all to have submitted stories to the Archive to be eligible. Nor should anyone left off the initial list assume it's because they didn't and that they are therefore out of competition!

Which isn't to say we wouldn't love to have your stories, Mouse, soon as you can send them to my mailbox....

LabRat

Thanks for the clarification, Labby!

No accusations, LabRat, we were just letting Mouserocks know that her stories rocked! It seemed to do the trick.
