For those who may not be familiar with my Harrie character - she first appeared in After Summer Camp . Jon Kent, eldest son of Lois and Clark, met her on his first day of Middle School and they had an adventure together. She next had a cameo appearance in Halloween in Smallville Finally, she got her own story - Hattie Kaplin - Reporter which takes place after Lois and Clark are promoted to coEditor-in-Chief of the Planet and Hattie is on the city desk. All three are short stories.

The archive's Kerth 2013 page is up and running with links to the nominated stories. We've also bundled the nominees into an ebook reading pack, in epub and Kindle-friendly mobi flavors, so you can catch up on the stories using your e-reader. (We weren't able to include all the stories in the ebook, however, because not all the nominated stories are hosted yet on the archive. For those we included links to their threads here on the message boards.) Congratulations to all the nominees, and thank you for another year of great reading! Lauren W.

Wow, thanks, Lauren, for all of your hard work. Time to power up my Nook (although, I believe there are few stories I have missed this year).

Lauren Your diligent efforts are definitely appreciated! There are several stories I did get to read, although some need to be read again - just for the fun of it! Thanks for all the help!

Thank you for assembling all the nominees into one easy-to-put-on-an-e-reader (or e-reader app) package. That increases the likelihood that I'll be able to read more stories which, in turn, increases the likelihood that I'll vote in more categories. And I'm sure I'm not alone in this.
Joy,
Lynn

Thank you all who nominated Tara. I can't believe I post one story and it gets a nomination.  Congrats to everyone else that was nominated.

It's simply thanking you in anticipation. In the same way a sign will say "Thank you for not smoking." or "Thank you for not parking here." before you do either.

Sigh...  Once again it will be impossible for me to attend the Kerths. Why can't the ceremonies take place in May!

Oh, my! I'm just tickled pink. A big thank you to everyone who puts the hours in to keep this healthy little corner of the Internet humming along. Looking forward to some good reading. Happy
This *is* my happily ever after.

Okay, I'm terribly confused. I have my list of stories I want to vote for all ready. I thought voting started today, but the Kerth site still looks the same as it did last night. Could someone please post a direct link to where we're supposed to vote, because I'm clearly not doing something right.
Also, the 2013 Kerth page still lists all the 2012 nominees under "Nominees", which could be confusing for anyone who doesn't actively visit these boards. (I don't know, but I figure there must be people who do most of their LnC reading at the Archives and not here.)
I appreciate your help.
Also, thanks again to Lauren for her great links to the stories page, re-reading those great waffy stories and I'm back to being beating myself up on who to vote for! They're all so good.

Virginia, as I understand it, the website hasn't been updated from its 2012 state yet because Annette (who has the responsibility and tech skills for that part of the Kerths) has been ill and in hospital (thankfully on the mend, last I heard).
Not sure how that will affect voting - whether it will have to be delayed or if K-Comm can work around the problem - but I'm sure that Tricia will post with an update soon.

So sorry to hear about Annette being in hospital. I am sure all FoLCs wish her a speedy recovery.

Oh dear! Please send my best to Annette and no worries about the Kerth timeline. We'll wait as long as it takes. Unless there hangs a new baby in the balance for the original Kerth date? Michael
