Well, here they are, folcs...the final list of nominees for the 2004 Lois & Clark Fanfic Kerth Awards! Congratulations to all the nominees!
Erin hopes to get the website updated by tomorrow, but since we have the ballot completed, we thought we'd go ahead and post the finalists a day early. After all, you have a lot of reading to do before voting starts on Saturday, March 6th!
Once again, this was an extremely competitive year for L&C fanfic, and we have an amazing list of really terrific stories. (Evidence the number of stories on the ballot for Best Overall -- this has never happened before!) And the outstanding quality of stories that *didn't* make it onto the short list also proves just how talented the writers are in our fandom! Everyone who writes fanfiction about our favorite couple is a winner in our book, since these stories bring us (and everyone else out there in our fandom, we're sure!) hours and hours of reading pleasure. Thank you!
And, of course, we need to send out a huge thank you to everyone who sent in their lists of nominations this year. Without your participation, these awards certainly wouldn't be what they are.
Remember, voting starts Monday, March 6th. Check the Kerth website (as well as this forum) for more information as we get closer to the time.
