Congrats to the recipients and nominees. I had an absolute blast. The ceremony was extremely professional but somehow had more laughs than this year's Oscars. I hope all of the available members of this board can attend next year.

Wow! Thanks everyone for voting for Without A Superman. I'd particularly like to thank my Beta Readers on these stories Gerry, Carol and Irene. I only hope these women know how much I appreciate all the time and effort they put into these stories. And I'd like to thank my editors Tricia, Jeanne and Lynn for there efforts in getting the stories ready for the archives.

I wish I could have been with you all tonight. Hope everyone had fun. And Congratulations to the other winners and the nominees. And Congrats to the Kerth Committee for another job well done.

Thanks again.

Congrats to everyone!

This was my first time attending a ceremony and it was just amazing!

Thanks to K-Comm and to all the writers! It was just a blast. Everyone did a great job, including the Designated Presenters (1 and 2 ) for those winners who were unable to attend!!!!!!!


Thanks everyone!
Courtney

Congratulations to K-Com on a fantastic night!! We had a wonderful time. And thank you to the presenters, especially those whose speeches were pure comedy routine.

Finally, thank you to everyone who voted for Dark Side of Christmas. I'm stunned and delighted. Thanks!!!


Wendy

Congratulations to all the winners!!! Voting was especially difficult this year because all the nominees were such great stories! Especially congratulations to all of the first-time winners this year .

I missed most of the ceremony because I was at my cousin's wedding shower and then had to go to mass for the pope, but I was there for a little bit, and had a blast!

Finally, thank you to everyone who nominated and voted for my story. I am still too shocked to make a coherent thank-you that covers everyone I would like to thank. But I would like to thank Tricia especially for being more than just a beta reader, but a great friend !

- Laura

And thanks Anna for the great sounds.

Tricia

It's official. I'm shocked. Shocked and delighted. Thank you very, very much to all those people who voted for A Gift From Shetland and gave me my first ever Kerth Award. It's not something I expected to happen.

I know that the Kerth Awards are not the be-all-and-end-all of fanfic writing (I'd have given up long since if they were!), and I know that to get on the ballot is a major achievement in its own right… but to finally win something…

Mind you, that blue ribbon is going to really mess up the red theme I've got going on the archive page!

That you've helped me win for A Gift From Shetland gives the award a greater meaning on a personal level for me.

When I wrote the story, I had no idea that I would end up living on Shetland for a summer. (If you have ever wondered where I disappeared to last year, now you know (part of it, anyway).) I wrote the story because I fell in love with the place when I went there on holiday. Having spent more time there, I find the story still holds a special place in my affections, as do the islands, themselves.

A Gift… is not a story that I ever really expected to get nominated, let alone win anything, for the simple reason that it is pretty quirky. That it did both gives me more confidence to continue writing and experimenting.

Thank you again, and a congratulation to all the other -- oh, how I like that word! -- winners.

Thank you, also, to the Kcomm for organising the awards once again… and may those of you seeking it have a very happy retirement!

Chris

Surprisingly alert after a very short night I'm joining you to again congratulate all the winnners of this year.

What an evening!

A big thank you to everyone who attended last night and to those who organised and participated in the ceremony itself - you're a great bunch of guys to hang out with. I had so much fun.

And a huge congratulations to all the winners. It was icing on the cake and such a delight to see the Kerths favouring so many first time winners. Excellent! And all of them thoroughly deserved.

Well done, everyone! You're what makes this fandom such a pleasure to be a part of.

LabRat (looking forward to some of those presentation speeches winning alt Kerths )

Congratulations to all the winners and nominees who've kept the spirit of "Lois and Clark" so alive for us. Thank-you for the pleasure that reading your stories has given me over the past year (and in previous years too )

And thanks to K-Comm too

Wow!

What an exciting night! Adrenaline does wonders to keep one awake until 5 in the morning.

Congratulations again to all the winners! And thank you, sooo much, to everyone who nominated and voted for Reluctantly Engaged/Readily Engaged. I was over the moon to be nominated, especially amongst so many other incredible stories, and was just *amazed* to win! Wow!

And thanks to all the K-Kom and presenters! I had a blast preparing my speech (and filling in last minute for El, with Kae) and loved all the other presenters! Not to mention attending, live, in the same room with Kae!

All in all, a *wonderful* night!

Bethy

Congratulations again to all of the winners and nominees!

And thank you, once again, to the K-Comm. I had a blast.

Congratulations to all the winners, especially our first-time winners, who are now requested to write more and more and more, for our greatest pleasure.

I had an absolute blast last night. I was a bit worried that my old age would put me to sleep as I had to stay up so late, but hey, the moment the ceremony started, I was totally wide awake and stayed that way throughout. I was just too excited to even *think* of closing an eye! It was particularly fun to attend with Bethy in the same room... I actually wonder which one of us two screamed louder when she won her Kerth. We were both really excited.

Thank you to everybody who made this year's Kerths another success: the writers of course, who gave us so many hours of enjoyment with their fantastic stories, the readers who gave all the writers encouragement, support and constructive criticism throughout the year, all the FoLCs who nominated and voted for their favourite fanfics, Meredith, Hazel and Wendy for their great quizzes on the fanfic list, all the behind-the-scene helpers whose job is worth gold, and of course Erin, Annette, Pam and Kathy, for dedicating so much of their time into making the Kerths what they are to us all. Thank you all, guys!

You're a fantastic community.

Kaethel

Congratulations to all the winners and to all the nominees as well, you're all very talented authors and reading your fics is always a treat (yep, angst included ).

K-Com, you guys do an awesome job, thanks!

Cris

I woke up this morning too late to attend church (Spring forward, Fall back darn it, that always messes me up) and jumped on the computer to see what I missed this weekend. I was almost too afraid to check this thread, but clicked on it anyway. I was honored by the Best New Author nomination, but am truly humbled by the win. Thank you everyone for your votes because it really means a lot. Of course, now a bar has been set and I’m paralyzed with fear into inactivity, but hey, can’t make an omelet, etc. etc.

Congratulations to all of the rest of you, winners and nominees alike because the stories I read were all wonderful and deserving of every praiseful statement they received.

And a big thank you to the Kerth Committee. I, unfortunately, wasn’t able to attend, but I know a lot of time and trouble was put into this and I know the rest of us are all grateful for your efforts, so once again, thank you.

-Michael
