The nKerths are held entirely separately by a different committee. It's more infrequent than the Kerths and bounces around the calendar a bit, so there's no set time for it. If you go into the story summary thread in nfic and pick up Dawn's eddress or PM you can ask her when it's likely to be this year. LabRat

Athos: No, no, by all means, let's keep things suicidal.

Thanks. I already had the 21st down on my calendar and wanted to get the other date down too.

Hi K-comm. You've got the wrong link for "The Early Snoop Gets the Scoop" It should be this: http://www.lcfanfic.com/stories/2008/esnoop.txt You've got the link to "I'm getting married in the morning."  Artemis

I already had the 21st down on my calendar The 21st? What's that for? Is that for the Kerths? I thought they were on April 4th.

Hi K-comm.
I'd like to bring your attention to the fact that March 29th is a Sunday, not a Monday. The Kerth site under Schedule is wrong.
Also Daylight Savings Time starts in the USA on March 8, so that midnight March 29 is EDT, not EST.
I understand there was much confusion last year on the deadline and some folcs missed it. It probably needs clarification this year. I posted a new thread with Time Zones in it.
regards

As I mentioned on another thread... Please don't make it midnight! Change it to a time that everyone understands - like 11:59 pm.

On the Kerth Eligible story list, Lessons has no link. I don't know if it will be on the Archive soon enough for it to matter, so the link to the TOC is Lessons I hope someone can post it on the story list, for the convenience of those nominating. Nan

Why is there no novel length category for the Kerths this year? We stop at Mid-length story on the ballot. This doesn't seem right. I say if you're going to have three categories devoted to length, you might as well make it four. That way, there is space in the Drama, Alt, Relationship and Overall Story for refined competition.

"Lessons" is on the eligible story list here: http://www.kerthawards.com/2009storylist.html Tricia cleared up any confusion on the nomination time here: http://www.lcficmbs.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=5;t=002503 and here: http://www.lcficmbs.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=5;t=002501 Hope this helps.

sueemma, there's only 5 stories over 500kb. That would pretty much mean all 5 stories would be nominated. I can't remember how many 500kb+ length stories we've had in the past, but I'm sure it's been more.

Yes, I know Lessons is on the list, but there is no active link to the story! That was what I was trying to say. The other stories on the list have links, but mine has none. The link simply puts you back to the top of the Eligible Stories list page. If that could be corrected, I'd appreciate it.

Sueemma, Karen is right. There are not enough stories eligible for this category. The total number of stories is lower than previous years. If anything, K-Com may have to consider deleting a category, not adding one. Tricia

grrrrr... fine, be right. I'm making my way through the list to nominate and the new novels are just so good... but only 5 eh? That mean I've only got 2 more to go. So sad... not that I can complain because I've only been devouring stories and not contributing.
