Thanks DC! I've replied.
Has anyone contacted Tricia or any of last years K-Comm since Labby's reply?

Okay, NK and I are working on the list and archive K-counts.

Thanks for taking this on! The Kerths are a special part of this fandom, and I would hate for them to fade away.
You can find my stories as Groobie on the nfic archives and Susan Young on the gfic archives. In other words, you know me as Groobie.

Us too! The Kerths are special and need to be preserved!
We will, however, need someone to take the list when it's done and get it onto the voting page of the Kerths site. I'm a lost cause there.

I'm sending a message to the rest of last year's K-Comm, to see if they've got any interest or pointers

Sent a message to Tricia two days ago and did not hear anything. Will try again along with NostalgiaKick.

A writer's job is to think of new plots and create characters who stay with you long after the final page has been read. If that mission is accomplished than we have done what we set out to do, which is to entertain and hopefully educate.

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

SurveyMonkey would work; my employer uses it frequently. It wouldn't be as cool-looking as the Kerth website, but it would definitely work.

I'm down with whatever is easiest and gets the job done! Same here. If we can't get the login for the original kerthawards page. I have my loisandclarktribute.com site and WordPress blog I could add a page too if need be for having a place to put everything. I also have a free Survey Monkey account. The SurveyMonkey survey could just be embedded on the page. It wouldn't take very long once we got the list and agreed on a banner. Again, that's IF we can't get the login info for it.

I got a reply from Amber. She hasn't participated in or been made aware of any planning for this year, and she can't help plan due to RL commitments

Right, it's Kerth season! Oh dear! RL's so crazy and won't get better for a couple of months. I mean, I'd have time for voting, of course, but actual work assignments would be an issue right now. Regarding the list: Usually, it starts with the Archive database: http://www.lcfanfic.com/ficdatabase.htmlUnfortunately, it's only up to date to Sept. 2015 When we have the current list, there should definitely be an effort to also update the Archive database. Voting: In the past, there has been an effort to include non-FoLCs in the counting of the votes to ensure there is no tampering and I think Annette looked at the IP-addresses etc to ensure there's no double voting.

Stupid question - would surveymonkey mean one round of voting or would we still do pleminary voting to narrow things down, then the final vote?

As I understand it, we can set it up with whatever we need, so we can still do nominations before the vote. But someone more familiar with SurveyMonkey can hopefully let us know for sure.
