Okay, the votes have been counted and recounted and recounted again, and the nominees are in. We have for you SEVEN banners in no particular order. Each correct guess will reveal the categories and the nominee banner for the fic.

See the list of nominated stories for reference below.

After the first set has been guessed a new set will be posted and so on until all the banners have been revealed. After THREE attempts the answer will be given. So don't be afraid to try even if you're not sure. We won't leave the set up for guessing for more than 24 hours as there are 7 sets to get through. Have fun!

I haven't had time to read much fanfic this year, so I haven't any guesses, but I wanted to say congratulations to all nominees and to thank the Kerth Committee for all their work.

My thanks to all who nominated two of my stories. Although I haven't had a chance to read much this year, I know many of the other nominees' writings from previous years, and I am honored to have my name listed among theirs.


Joy,
Lynn

Well, Set 2, Banner 6 is the kiss from "Man of Steel Bars," so I'm going to guess that this one is for my story "Geographic Distance." And if so, thank you!

I hadn't been sure whether it would be considered appropriate to guess one's own stories, but since Susan set the lead on this (and I respect her judgment on this), I will follow suit. Set 2 #4 looks to me like my "Kill Bill's Fan." (And I second Groobie's thanks.)

I am impressed by your creativity and skill in combining images from the show to represent fanfic.

Joy,
Lynn

First, I just wanted to say how cool it is that you all are still keeping the Kerth Awards and traditions alive. These banners are a neat way of announcing nominated stories! Coming from an "old-timer" (I guess, right? The first Kerths ceremony I attended was back in 2000, I think!), it just warms my L&C heart to see another year and another ceremony. So thanks for all your hard work, K-Comm!

Second, a huge thanks to those who remembered my story this year. The banner looks awesome, and I'm in awe how you all could take pics from the series to tell my story! So neat.

Congratulations to all the nominated stories!

Tracey

Tracey,

On behalf of the K-Comm, thanks for the kind words! We are thrilled to be able to keep the Kerths alive. Losing them is just NOT an option.

Val is totally killing it with the banners, as usual.
