All right, it's all been counted so here is the short list for the Alt-Kerths. Our apologies for not having it in the right order, I do not have that much online time right now. I will make sure that they are in the right order within the next few days, and also get them up with links.

Thanks to all of you who send in their nominations, and of course congratulations to all those who are on the short list.

Woohoo!!! Alt-Kerth nominations!!

Congratulations to everyone who's been nominated! And I have no idea how I'm going to vote here. This is impossible! So many excellent choices. I can see that I'll be doing a lot of reading and video/trailer-watching!

Second, thank you to everyone who nominated me here! I'm stunned and delighted.

Best of luck to all the nominees! And bring on the ceremony! Can you remind me when it is again? Or post the link to the Alt-Kerth site again - I keep losing the URL and can't find where I put it in my bookmarks. :p

And finally, thank you to Saskia, Rachel and Anna for all your work putting this together.


Wendy

Woo-hoo! Been looking forward to seeing this list

Congrats to all nominees... thanks to everyone who nominated any of my stuff and THANK YOU Alt-Kerth committee for putting this together; I am quite positive it was a LOT of work!

PJ
off to call Chris to tell her the good news!

Congratulations to everyone

Congrats to all the nominees!

The list, complete with links, is now on The Official Alt-Kerths Site on the Nominees page.

Remember that voting runs from June 26th through July 2nd, so start reading and watching to narrow down your votes!

~Anna

Oh... my... goodness...

And congratulations to all the nominees! Plenty of stuff I loved there. Voting will be a nightmare, but then that's half the fun.

Kaethel

Oh, holy.. *thud* Thank you to everyone who voted for me. Oh my....

And congratulations to all of the nominees! Such a wonderful list of authors, it's going to be hard when voting comes!

OMG AHHHHH!


Holy Moly! I was nominated in three catagories! What an honor for a first time video maker to get the first video I ever made nominated. Awsome. Although, it is going to be hard to vote. All the videos are just great as are all the other topics nominated.

Congrats to all! Good Luck!

~Lois Lane Wanna Be

PS: I will be on a cruise during the ceremony on July 9th. I know this cruise has the internet but will it be at all possible for me to attend? I'm really upset about this. Alt-Kerth commitee, please let me know ASAP. Thanks!

HALO was nominated!!!!!!!!!


Life is almost complete!!!

Congrats to everybody!!!

MDL.

Hoody Hoot!! See this proves that *sometimes* I make sense.

Was this any comment in particular, or just a generalization of how I've praised stories over the time I've been on this board?

TEEEEEEJ/ just thinking Sara's got this one, but it's still cool that *I* showed at all. Heehee!

Oh, wow!!!!!!!

And congratulations to all of the nominees!

Congratulations to all the nominees!

Tricia

Woo-hoo! The nominees are in! Cool! But... oh boy. I think I've got some reading to do...

Thanks to Alt-KComm for their impressive work so far!

And... wow! Thanks to everyone who nominated me! In 4 categories, no less! I'm shocked. Especially about "Best Comments Giver." How the heck did I get onto that list?

Lois Lane Wanna Be... It's *possible* that you'll be able to make it. Ship to shore net time is not, in my limited experience, cheap, fast, or at all reliable. You're out in the ocean, trying to maintain a satellite connection while moving with who knows what going on overhead and sharing what bandwidth you can get with a bunch of other people. Not to mention the fact that bandwidth priority (quite reasonably) goes to crew members keeping track of things like GPS and weather conditions. So, expect a slow, shaky connection for which you're charged by the minute.

Theoretically, you'll be able to log in via the undernet's web java portal. Remember this URL:

http://www.undernet.org/webchat.php

(Or just remember to go to http://www.undernet.org and then click on "webchat.")

It doesn't always work, but it's your best bet from one of the ship's terminals. You might want to try it out from home first, so you can get used to the interface.

Anyway, thank you so much to everyone who nominated me! I'm looking forward to the ceremony!

In the meantime, I think I've got some homework to do...

Paul

Me??? One of the top-6 comments-givers??? /me checks again... yes, my name is still there.

It never even crossed my mind I could be considered as such a good comments-giver. I'm speechless! Thank you so much!! (It sure makes it easier to have so many nice stories to comment on, though )

Congratulations to all the nominees, and to Anna, Saskia and Rachel for your hard work on this!

See ya,
AnnaBtG.

Yes! I've been eagerly awaiting this. Woohoo!!

And what a wealth of talent! You know what I'm going to have to do next, don't you? /me goes rummaging in her desk for that elusive pin....

Congratulations to all nominees! I am so looking forward to reading through/watching all of these and voting. Looks like it's going to be a great ceremony!

And...gosh. Even found a nomination for me in there. Thank you to everyone who nominated those for making my day. What a lovely surprise.

/me leaves a box of pins in the thread for anyone needing one.

LabRat

Congrats to the people nommed!!! And Wow. I never ever expected to be nomed! I can't believe that!! There are so many talented Story, video, and trailer makers out there and for me to be place in a ballot with them is amazing. It's wonderful to have people like something that has brought fun in to my otherwise boring life <G>.
Jen

Congratulations to all nominees!
With a shorter list of music videos I'll be able to vote for the best video categories too!

simona

Well... I'm not officially back for a few days, but I *really* needed to say this:



Multiply that by the number of times I saw my name on the lists and add some misty eyes... erm... Okay, okay, I cried. But I plead jetlag and homesickness and FoLC withdrawal right alongside the shock. Thank you everyone who nominated!! )

Congrats to all the other nominees!!! All of it is really high quality stuff!!! I have some tough voting to do!

Thanks again!!!

Sara (who's still misty-eyed and wishing she could be back just a little sooner )

I know I'm late to the party, but I hope no one will mind if I throw in my two cents, well gratitude, in here anyway.

First of all, I am just so amazed, stunned, flabbergasted, in need of oxygen and totally and utterly honoured to be nominated in the Best Trailer category. And wow!, not just one, but five!! Who needs to win the lottery when you get this?!

Oh, and I have to use this opportunity to just thank *everyone* - everyone who took on the idea and tried making trailers themselves and didn't laugh in my face <g>, and to those who watched them and encouraged so many in here to make so many more.

On a very personal note, THANK YOU LabRat, Wendy and Lynn for letting me use your stories to create this - it's just the most fun ever!! Also, CONGRATULATIONS (to all I've made trailers for, really) for writing the most fantastic stories that inspired me to do this in the first place! These are your nominations as much as they are mine!! Same to CC for Sara's trailer, and Lynn for...Lynn's trailer! You guys are the best!

Congratulations to all nominees, and GOOD LUCK to you all!!
