WHAT MAKES A STORY ELIGIBLE?
Any story that’s finished and posted online by the end of a calendar year is eligible for awards. An ongoing list is kept by the KCOM of all fics posted to the message boards and the archive. The fics completed by December 31st are automatically eligible fics for the Kerths that following year.
A story can only be eligible for a Kerth Award for one Kerth year. If you don’t wish to have your fic eligible (i.e. edits, or revisions, or just not ready) send an email to the KCOM (
kcom@kerthawards.com) and we’ll remove your story from the list. Keep in mind, there is a limit on when the KCOM can remove your fic from consideration. A lot of work goes into preparing each stage of the Kerths. We cannot remove a fic from consideration once nominations have begun.
If you posted a story somewhere else and wish to have it added to the list you can request it be added by sending an email to the KCOM (
kcom@kerthawards.com) . We will need the following information in order to add your fic to the list:
• Title
• Author
• K-count
• Url where the fic can be found
