Nominations are out !!!

Congratulations to all the nominees Thanks to everyone who took the time to come up with the nominations. And to K-com for their tireless work.

/starts reading list and scratches head, waiting for Labby's pins to be dropped into this thread/

/stumbles and rechecks/

OMG! Me? Wow... This is... Did I say wow already?

Michael

Oh my god! Talk about unexpected! And in two categories...

Thank you so much for the lovely surprise!

And congratulations and good luck to all the other nominees.

Julie

Congratulations to all nominees!

And, Michael, your wish...

/me places large box of pins in thread.

LabRat

Yay! Congrats to all of the nominees! now I've got to buckle down and read.

Wow! I was hoping this would come out early but didn't expect it when I got up this morning.

Thank you so much everyone!

/takes big handful of Labby's pins/

Carol

Congrats to all the nominees and I wish them all the best.

But as I have said year after year, within this fandom, anyone who has the courage and determination to actually put their efforts out there for public scrutiny is a winner.

I'm constantly amazed by the level of excellance that this fandom consistantly produces. I think that is a consequence of the good fortune we've long had with the quality of our fics. Good writing breeds more good writing.

This is a fandom that supports and encourages the gentle writers to explore and express their muses. Critiques are done in a positive way and the members of this fandom realize that nothing is gained by unproductive negative comments.

So, while we celebrate the Kerths, and use these nominations as a pat on the back to several deserving writers; don't forget that all the writers are winners. And we're damn glad to have all of you.

Tank (who has never tired of checking out new L&C stories over the years, and continues to look forward to more)

WOW & YAY Congratulations to all the nominees and the work of the K-comm. I'm glad Beth S' stories and Rona V's stories were grouped. It's hard to pick one out of a series. They were really great stories this year. I think the alt world stuff is ramping up to really high levels.
Great debut for first time writers.

Artemis

We have some truly talented writers in this fandom, and it will be hard to pick just one story for each category.

Congrats to all the nominees! I'd like to add a hearty "hear, hear" to Tank's words. He's absolutely right, the quality on these boards is exceptional and anyone who sucks up the courage to post is deserving of recognition.

My sincere thanks to those generous souls whose nominations put my story into the mix. I'm honored. Thank you!

Smooth, Tank. A big thanks to everyone who has written this year; I've truly enjoyed every story I was able to read, and am still looking forward to a number of them on my to-read list!

K-Com rocks as always! You guys are so dedicated to putting these events together just so we all can have some fun!

And awww shucks. Thanks for putting my name on the list. It's finals weekend (my last set of post-grad papers for at least 10 years!), so the list posted today is just awesome x 10, and all of you guys are awesome x 10.

Grace and peace,
JD

*blinks*

Me? More than once?

Wow.. I'm... just wow! Thank you!

/is speechless

What kind of community can connect with someone who has been nothing more than a lurker for more than fifteen years and make them feel so welcome that they not only come out of the shadows and provide feedback but then take the next step and try to contribute something?

This is a very special place. (I only wish I had found it years sooner.) I am more honored than I can say to be on the list.

I send my congratulations to everyone that was nominated. There is some excellent work here. And, to be perfectly honest, there is some excellent work that did not make the list. That in itself speaks volumes about the generally high quality of the material that is created for this fandom.

Bob

THANKS, GUYS!!!!!!!!!!



And good luck to everyone on the list.

I agree with everything Tank said - we're all very fortunate to be part of a fandom of this caliber.

And my humble thanks to all of you who nominated me.

Now how will we all narrow each category down to one?

/me eyes LabRat's partly empty box of pins...

'Toc

The toughest part will be casting the vote. Frankly, I'm so glad that on the Archive, the nominees are marked as well as the winners - I think the fic here is of such quality that any one fic in any one category could easily be the winner. All these fics are excellent, and I echo Bobbart in saying that many other excellent fics are out there too, just barely missing the cut.

Wow! Thank you so much for nominating one of my stories. Considering the other stories on the list (and all the amazing ones that didn't make it), that is quite honor.

Good luck to all the nominees! And a huge thank you to K-Comm for all the woek that goes into this and all the readers and writers that make it possible!

Wow, I am totally floored. I have been so busy cleaning my house for the arrival of three FoLCs who are visiting at the end of the month that I didn't even remember the list was up until I finally took a computer break just now!

I am just so honored to be nominated this year, especially for "Rain," which was incredibly difficult -- and incredibly meaningful -- to write.

And a big congrats to the other nominees! I agree with those who have said the quality of work in this fandom is outstanding. It's a privilege to be nominated with you.

Congrats to all the nominees from me, too. And, me, "three" to what Tank so wonderfully said.

Mona

Congrats to all Nominees.

It is really fantastic to see still fans of Lois and Clark, who write of so magnificent and poignant stories !

All my congratulations to all Nominees!

Thank you! I'm so glad that people have enjoyed reading Creation since so many of your stories have brought me so much pleasure.

Ooh! Ooh! I got a story and a character nominated! Ooh! Ooh!

Forgive me for gushing a little, please. After seeing the competition, I'm pretty sure my name won't be called. But just being nominated is a huge honor! I love to see those little "Nominated" icons on my list of stories. It validates my efforts to know that people are receiving some enjoyment from them, and it makes me want to write more.

Congratulations to all the nominees! And y'all be sure and vote for your favorites during Kerth voting time! I already know where some of my votes are going.

Hi,

I have been very remiss this year, but I hope it's better late than never to congratulate all the nominees.

Now I have to start reading.

Good Luck to you all.
Yours Jenni

Things have been so hectic that I haven't had a chance to check out the Nominees thread, much less comment. I see some of my stories have been nominated, which is really nice, considering how little I've managed to write in 2008. My thanks to everyone who thought enough of what I did manage to contribute. I was afraid that they would hardly be noticed, next to some of the really incredible stories I've read in the last year.

Also, kudos to the K-Committee, whose work on the Kerths is amazing.

Nan

I'd love to add my congratulations to the nominees and my thanks for receiving a nomination ( Wow, in *three* categories?!).


It's an amazing honor to be included with other such talented authors. Thank you!

BJ

Holy Space Rats, Chumpy made the cut!!!

Sorry I didn't notice this earlier, but I've had RL taking up a lot of my mind...even Elisabeth didn't notice until like two days ago.

I know I don't stand a chance against the likes of Never Tell Clark - Richard Frantz Jr., which had me rolling, but the honor of getting nominated is wonderful.

Thank you all.

James

Congrats to all nominees!!!

We've got our 2009 Kerth page up and running on the archive with links to the nominated stories. Happy reading!

Okay, it's a little late to thank you all for the nominations (since the Kerths were last night) but better late than never... right? RIGHT??? *pleads*

Again, I'm so sorry I missed the awards but thank you guys so much for the noms... just wow. Really. Thank you.
