As you know, the ceremony will take place on IRC on April 5. But none of it can happen without you! Not only do we need party-animals to make this huge fun and laughs and happiness, but we also need behind-the-scenes helpers to make the ceremony something special.  So... we need presenters. All categories are open, and so you're free to choose whatever you feel like presenting. Presenting means doing a small speech explaining what the category entails (it can be fun or serious, whatever you prefer) then listing the nominees, and finally, announcing the winner and handing out the famous trophee.  Just let us know, either here or in an email to K-Com or even to me, that you're willing to present and what category you'd like to be assigned to. I'll be updating this thread with the remaining categories as they get snatched.  Second... we need people for in-betweenies, commercial breaks during the ceremony. You can write fake commercials, tell jokes, anything you like as long as it's entertaining. If you're interested in taking part, raise your hand and then let me know what you'd like to do. Let the fun begin!  Kaethel

Just a suggestion... there's kind of a tradition that last year's winner of Best New Author presents the trophy - and the tiara, which looked just gorgeous on Shayne and Dave  - to this year's winner. How about it, Sue? Wendy

When it comes to commericials, are we allowed to create real ones? For instance, I have a superhero fan group which definitely places ephasis on fanfic; it even has it's own section. It's totally kewl if we can't and I'd totally understand, but I thought I'd ask.

I'll take Super Short if it's still available - they're right up my alley. (And I'll hopefully have time to actually read the nominees!) Dave

LoisLane , I don't see why that'd be a problem. Write up your text, make it commercial-like and off you go. And come on, guys, we need more fun stuff for in-betweenies. Here's a couple of suggestions for you writers out there: The 1000 ways to get rid of Lex (or Tempus) The 1000 Jimmy-Interruptus moments Fascinating Elvis Stories by Perry White Lois gets in trouble, episode #342. Come on, I'm sure you can think of something to do with that, or come up with ideas of your own! Sue, I got your email, and have to say, I was hoping you'd volunteer for BNA. So this category is definitely yours! Dave, marking you down for super short. So the categories left for presenting are: Best Short Story Best Waffy Story Best Comedy Best Revelation Story Best Episode Adaptation Best Drama Best Relationship Story Best Alt-World / Elsworlds Story Best Original / Supporting Character Best Overall Story Kae

I am actually off from work on the day of the Kerths! (Go figure, it's like my paper gave me the day off since I'm nominated for a Kerth Award and a limo is going to come and pick me up to take me to the ceremony and I'll wear a black dress and bring a hot guy to hang decoratively on my arm and ... oh wait, this isn't The Daily Planet ... bah.) Anyway, now that I am sulking about not getting to ride in a limo or have arm candy, I suppose I can help out ... from my couch. I went and read the log from 2006 and man, it's like the cyber Oscars! How exciting! I'd like to do Best Relationship, if it is still available.

LoisLane, the awards will take place on April 5, so that's your deadline. Elisabeth, it's absolutely no problem to present an award with James. El and I have presented together a few times, and I've also presented with Bethy once. Duet-presenting is a lot of fun! And no problem, you get best comedy. Best relationship is for you, Editorjax! Right, so that leaves us with: Best Short Story Best Waffy Story Best Revelation Story Best Episode Adaptation Best Drama Best Alt-World / Elsworlds Story Best Original / Supporting Character Best Overall Story Come on FoLCs!

![[Linked Image]](http://cache.virtualtourist.com/1/1861837-Sydney_Harbour-Sydney.jpg) This is probably the one and only time I'll ever regret living in the Emerald City (Sydney: historically called this because of the sparkling blue harbour, contrasted with the trees from the Sydney Harbour National Park) 2007 was the Bridge\'s 75th Anniversary, so our NYE celebrations were entitled: A Diamond night in the Emerald City... hence the pics.... ![[Linked Image]](http://img366.imageshack.us/img366/914/0534763400um5.jpg) not the best, but the nick-name for the bridge is the coat-hanger, and on that NYE there was a diamond in the centre of the hanger.... ![[Linked Image]](http://intelligenttravel.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/2007/12/06/p_emerald_01x.jpg) but yeah, beack to the topic... the only reason I mention this is that the time difference between Kansas City and The Emerald City is just too great for myself to be involved in the actual Kerth Ceremony...

I'll take Best Original Character, K. By the way, it's worth mentioning that if you do want to present but aren't confident that you'll actually make it to the ceremony, then you have the option of writing the presentation speech in advance and asking someone else to post it on your behalf. Obviously, we wouldn't want *all* the presenters to do that, but one or two is okay. Yvonne

Right, so my suit is pressed and my speech is written - all I need now is a date to hang adoringly off my arm and to know how early I need to set my alarm. *g* Has the time been decided on yet? Originally posted by beethoven:

Pish. It's worth getting up early on a Sunday morning, trust me.

Yep, a time's been fixed. It will be on April 5, 5 pm EST. The reason why it's not the usual 6 pm is that, with my timezone, 6 pm EST is very, very, very late for me and my day-job just doesn't allow me to stay up all night and then work again on the following day. 5 pm EST is 11 pm for me and hopefully that means I can be in bed by 3 am.

ARGH! the same night as the start of the new Doctor Who season. I'm not sure what time the internet fairies that allow me to watch episodes will have it to me, so there's a bit of a conflict there, dammnit.

An update on the categories left: Best Short Story Best Waffy Story Best Episode Adaptation Best Drama Best Alt-World / Elsworlds Story Best Overall Story Can't believe Kerth Night would be on DW night of all nights! Though it should start right when the eps end in the UK, so maybe we'll all have time to attend the Kerths before those of us who are obsessed with DW can rush and watch the new eps. Kae
