With a tentative ceremony scheduled for the Kerths on April 29, it's time to officially start thinking about presenters for each category.
Again, those categories are as follows:
Best Super-short -Morgana Best Short -Folc4evernaday Best Mid-length -folc4evernaday Best Long/Epic -Groobie Best Revelation -Darth Michael, presented by Groobie Best First Kiss -LMA, via someone else to present, most likely DC Best Original/Supporting Character -VirginiaR Best Comedy -Deadly Chakram Best Overall -Folc4evernaday Best New Author -Cuidadora
If anyone is willing to present a category or two, please let NK or I know.

I would be happy to be a presenter for Best Super-short and Best Short!

I'll grab comedy, since I have no eligible stories in that category.

Guys, we really need your help here!
DC, Folc and myself have quite a lot of nominated stories, and we really can't present a category that we might win. If you can spare just a couple of hours of your time, we would really appreciate it.
Also, if anyone would like to volunteer to act as MC on the day, that would be awesome as well.
A huge thank you to the people that have already put their hands up to help out

Hi NostalgiaKick,
I really wish I could present, but I can't guarantee that I would be available at any given time -- my son (who is severely affected by autism and who can't possibly understand "Not now; Mom's busy") might need me at any time. I plan to do my best to attend the ceremony, but I wouldn't want to take on a responsibility that I might not be able to follow through with.
- Lynn

No worries, Lynn! Hope you can attend. Kids in general can be hard to work around. I can't even imagine your situation. But I know you do your best!

Hi Lynn It's okay, we definitely understand! I hope you can make to the ceremony, even if only for a little bit.

I'll take 'Best First Kiss' ! --I hadn't volunteered as of yet b/c of kiddos (in general, wasn't sure that even if we were free that night, if I'd actually be totally 'free' if the kiddos were awake...). Plus, we recently signed them both up for baseball--b/c of different ages, 5 and 7--they are on different teams with, as yet to be determined, totally different game/practice days . -- Anyway...I probably will not be able to actually 'attend', but like Michael, I'll prepare that category to have ready for someone to deliver. Laura (who is really...really...REALLY going to enjoy looking into all these 'best kiss'es' ) Congrats, again, everyone !

I can take Best Original/Supporting Character, if nobody else has volunteered for it, and the awards are early enough in the day. Have we narrowed down the time of the awards? I was really hoping to take my husband to prom this year... er... volunteer to chaperone, that is. He's never been.

Have fun at prom and thanks for volunteering.
