NostalgiaKick: I have multiple world clocks on my phone so I know what the heck time it is where Val and Vicki are DeadlyChakram: Haha, I know you love me, Val! That's why your clock is set to mine Morgana: Banner is perfect! Folc4evernaday: Thanks Cuidadora: Beautiful banner and videos Millefeuilles: Indeed... Bravo! NostalgiaKick: Val does a fantastic job with them Lynn S.M.: Two thumbs up for the banner and videos. DeadlyChakram: She does! Lynn S.M.: Yay! Endelda: woohoo here we go! NostalgiaKick: Here we go! Morgana: Here we go! DeadlyChakram: An up front congrats to all tonight for having awesome stories and being a part of this! NostalgiaKick: Yay Ina!

NostalgiaKick: Speech! Very well-deserved award Lynn S.M.: Your stories are doubly amazing since they aren't even in your first language. (I wish my native-English-speaking students wrote a tenth as well.) DeadlyChakram: Right, Lynn? I was going to say something along those lines NostalgiaKick: Yup, you're right there Lynn. I'm constantly in awe of our non-native English speaking writers Millefeuilles: Screamed so loudly that I woke up my husband!! Cuidadora: Absolutely, Lynn! Yay Emma! Morgana: The sequel was very sweet. Glad you wrote it. Millefeuilles: You made me do it, so THANK YOU. Morgana: Urgh Ralph! CarrieRene: Congratulations again from a fellow nominee.

Endelda: think, wish, potato potahto Millefeuilles: Help, Superman... Ralph's here. Cuidadora: LOL!! Morgana: technical problems!!! Lynn S.M.: Am I experiencing technical difficulties? The last thing I saw was Ralph asking "As what?" Millefeuilles: So did I. Folc4evernaday: No Morgana's trying to reconnect Lynn S.M.: Oops... I think Cynthia answered the question even as I was typing. NostalgiaKick: No, you're fine, we lost Morgana Lynn S.M.: Ralph must have messed things up. Endelda: Leave it to Ralph DeadlyChakram: It's always Ralph's fault. Guy's a disaster Millefeuilles: Someone has frozen Ralf... Good thing, considering. DeadlyChakram: Thanks, Mr. Wells, for bringing Morgana back! Mouserocks: Ohh coming in late.. Congrats Millefeuilles!! Morgana: Fixed it! DeadlyChakram: Hiya Emma! Lynn S.M.: Nice ad libbing.

DeadlyChakram: Bwhaha, right? He looks so PAINED Millefeuilles: Oh, yeeeees. NostalgiaKick: Scarred for life lol Lynn S.M.: Is this "our" Lana (whom we never met) or alt-Lana? Either way, she is definitely not right for Clark... Millefeuilles: That's for sure. Lynn S.M.: Lana has the "less" down pat... But in her case, less is less. Endelda: Yay, a tie! CarrieRene: Yay for Val! And Maggie Lynn S.M.: Congrats to both the winners. Millefeuilles: Congrats, you 2! Morgana: Wow! A tie! NostalgiaKick: That's Val's first ever Kerth btw!

Lynn S.M.: Good question, Lois -- guess that's why you're the star reporter. CarrieRene: OOps.... I guess it's better than a miscount Morgana: A crime has been committed! Millefeuilles: Tempus did it! Kathryn84: Ralph changed envelopes? Morgana: Somebody call Inspector Henderson! Endelda: I make a mean meatloaf from-scratch mashed potatoes too Lynn S.M.: As long as it isn't from Ralph's Pagoda. (There's that name again...) CarrieRene: Ralph is all over the place. Lynn S.M.: Three-way? Wow! Endelda: wow, a three way! NostalgiaKick: Bahahahahahaha Lynn S.M.: Yay, Val, Thomas MC, and Morgana.

NostalgiaKick: Super proud of my KCOM buddies atm DeadlyChakram: Thanks Embracing was a bit outside of my comfort zone but it was fun NostalgiaKick: Your muse's holiday in Gotham was well spent lol Millefeuilles: Outside your comfort zone makes excellent reading! Lynn S.M.: Seems like being out of one's comfort zone is a good way to get a Kerth this year. DeadlyChakram: Thanks Morgana: Stepping into a new arena pulls those writing muscles ... in a good way! DeadlyChakram: Clark as Nightwing is allllll sorts of drooly Kissmatt: Lynn S.M.: Val, I'm all the happier that your story got you a Kerth considering that it is so personal for you. And I am so sorry that it is. DeadlyChakram: Hiya Kells! Didn't see ya there NostalgiaKick: Hey Kelly Lynn S.M.: Hi Kelly. Welcome. DeadlyChakram: Ditto, Val. Glad some brightness could come from such a dark inspiration Folc4evernaday: Thanks Lynn. I'm still kinda shocked Kissmatt: I'm here sorta, I'm at a found family dinner Folc4evernaday: Hey Kelly NostalgiaKick: Lynn- your story had me in floods of tears Kissmatt: We have 17 ppl and matzo ball chicken soup Lynn S.M.: NK, it was definitely therapeutic to write. May I belatedly hand you a tissue? NostalgiaKick: Aww, thanks Millefeuilles: And very enlightening to read it... NostalgiaKick: It's not something we've had to deal with yet but it's a potential future that scares me a little Morgana: Val, this is getting to be a habit! DeadlyChakram: Lynn's was a dagger in my heart, seriously NostalgiaKick: Val is going to drown in Kerths Endelda: Congrats again, Val's sweeping the awards this year! Morgana: But a truly happy one! Lynn S.M.: Congrats, Val! I'm happy to sat although my story left a lot unresolved, there has been a happy ending in real life. My son is now in a residential school filled with dedicated, caring staff who are trained to work with kids like him; we are both much safer, he's doing well, and our visits are generally filled with positive interactions. DeadlyChakram: Congrats Val! Millefeuilles: Congrats, Val! SuperWriter! CarrieRene: Congrats Val.

NostalgiaKick: Congrats Val! That story was rip-your-heart-out sad Cuidadora: Happy for you, Lynn Lynn S.M.: NK, I hope you never have to deal with it yourself, but if you do, you've a listening ear here. NostalgiaKick: DeadlyChakram: *hugs to Val* I wish your inspiration didn't need to be so true to life Lynn S.M.: Another five-year story? I second Vicki's sentiment. Kathryn84: me too. Millefeuilles: So so I. Lynn S.M.: I can't even begin to imagine how painful that must have been. Endelda: Endelda locks Mayson and her lips in a closet DeadlyChakram: lol Millefeuilles: LOL!

Hey that was a good story. Lois should not have followed Clark! Millefeuilles: Mary Frances is awesome! Lynn S.M.: Ooooh... Looking forward to another story about her. DeadlyChakram: Those Canterbury Tales were so much fun. We should go back to pushing those Morgana: Another story at the mission? This could be very interesting! DeadlyChakram: Ooh, yes, do come back, Sister! Millefeuilles: More Mary Frances! Power to Mary Frances! Lynn S.M.: As soon as you learn it, you'll be made to forget. Hmmm... Has anyone rewritten the episode to discuss what would have happened if they hadn't been forced to forget? DeadlyChakram: *Men in Black show up with a neuralyzer* Millefeuilles: ROTFL DeadlyChakram: hehehe Morgana: DC again! Endelda: Congrats Vicki! Folc4evernaday: Congrats Vicki! NostalgiaKick: Yay Vicki! Lynn S.M.: Embrace the Kerth, DC Millefeuilles: Yay, Vicky! NostalgiaKick: LOL CarrieRene: Like what would happen if Lois had remembered at the end of Tempus Fugitive? DeadlyChakram: Aww, thanks CarrieRene: Congrats Vicki Endelda: I'm really loving those stories, I was so happy to see that there's another one coming DeadlyChakram: Aww thanks. Val is betaing for me and we're hard at work on the next one Lynn S.M.: Carrie, that, too, but I had been thinking about what would have happened if Sam and Ellen Lane had remembered The Secret. CarrieRene: Oh gotcha in the Toy Story episode, you mean in Season Four Lynn S.M.: Yup. That's the one. NostalgiaKick: I'm being squashed by munchkins lol Lynn S.M.: Cherish the squashing, NK. Those times go by faster than you would imagine. Morgana: The days are long, but the years are short. NostalgiaKick: Yeah, Melissa turns 4 tomorrow She's my 'baby' Lynn S.M.: And you get a plot bunny, and you get a plot bunny, and you get a plot bunny... NostalgiaKick: Haha judging by that list, Vicki got lot of plot bunnies DeadlyChakram: One simple prompt and it gave birth to a litter! Lynn S.M.: Yay Queenie. Her stories are alway terrific. DeadlyChakram: Congrats, Queenie!!!! Endelda: Yay Queenie! CarrieRene: Congrats Queenie NostalgiaKick: Well, you know the whole thing about bunnies reproducing Congrats Queenie! DeadlyChakram: Right?? lol Millefeuilles: Congrats! Morgana: Queenie! How cool is that! Millefeuilles: This one was hilarious! Patrick West joined the conversation Lynn S.M.: HI Patrick. DeadlyChakram: Hi Patrick Morgana: Hello Patrick Lynn S.M.: Is Mxy still in the fifth dimension? Morgana: Let that imp stay there! Lynn S.M.: Look up in the sky... Endelda: It's a bird! CarrieRene: Its a bird. Its a plane Lynn S.M.: So why was the guy who said that line so excited about what he thought was a bird? Was he an ornithologist? (If so, he was a bad one.) DeadlyChakram: Yay! Congrats Val! Morgana: Your cup is running over! Lynn S.M.: Congrats, Val. You're doing well this evening. Endelda: YAY VAL!! CarrieRene: Congrats Val Morgana: This is a happy day! NostalgiaKick: See? Kerthalanche DeadlyChakram: Val's gonna need to buy a bigger house for all the awards Millefeuilles: Wow! congrats, Val! Lynn S.M.: Not an aVALanche? Millefeuilles: A mansion! Morgana: aVALanche! Too Funny! DeadlyChakram: Bwhahaa! Cuidadora: CongratCongrats, Val!s! NostalgiaKick: Joking aside, congratulations Val. It's awesome to see you *finally* taking home those Kerths Hahaha, nice one Lynn DeadlyChakram: Seriously. Took too long for it to happen Lynn S.M.: I'm still amazed that my story was nominated for Best OC/SC, since although the story was about Todd, he was barely in it. Thanks to all who voted for it. For obvious reasons, he's a character near and dear to me. DeadlyChakram: It was awesome and so memorable NostalgiaKick: I think your story resonated with a lot of people Morgana: It really made me think. NostalgiaKick: There's a lot of us out there that are either directly caring for someone with ASD or have someone they love with ASD Cuidadora: Absolutely! Lynn S.M.: Thank you. You're right, NK. ASD is *far* more well-known now than it was when I was growing up. Morgana, that's one of the best compliments you could give the story. My entire Todd series was definitely designed to be edutainment. Morgana: About ASD and how families deal with the situation Lynn S.M.: There's so little realistic fiction about people on the spectrum; I wanted to share a little of what it is really like, at least for me and my family. CarrieRene: This is what happens when I write a speech while watching MASH Endelda: lol Lynn S.M.: Of course, different families will have very different experiences. One of the best shows ever. Millefeuilles: Lynn, your stories made me grow as an human being. Lynn S.M.: I still tear up when I think of "Lieutenant-Colonel Henry Blake's plane was shot down over the Sea of Japan. It spun in. There were no survivors..." NostalgiaKick: Yup. If you know a person with ASD, you know *one* person with ASD Lynn S.M.: Or "Did you ever once, ever offer me a lousy cup of coffee?" Morgana: This is your year DC CarrieRene: BJ Honeycutt is my favorite character Lynn S.M.: Wow, Emma, I am truly humbled! That was even better than a Kerth! And speaking of Kerth, congratulations Vicki! Millefeuilles: no, Lynn, just the truth! DeadlyChakram: Aww, thanks Lynn S.M.: Exactly, NK. Millefeuilles: Congrats, Vicky! Endelda: Congrats Vicki! Morgana: The characters were solid. NostalgiaKick: Yay, congrats Vicki! CarrieRene: Congrats Vicki Morgana: Grandma Tildy and especially Chen. DeadlyChakram: Uh oh, I'm seeing in triplicate on stage! Lynn S.M.: UH, oh. Clones. Millefeuilles: clones, or alt-Loises? Endelda: **Endelda hides all the frogs** Lynn S.M.: Ah. Alts. Much better than clones. Morgana: Clone Wars DeadlyChakram: Thanks. It didn't hit me until the end that the name Grandma Tildy came from a book called But No Elephants that I liked as a kid and have now been reading to the girls Morgana: Share the stories of your childhood with your kids. Perfect CarrieRene: Just like Charlotte's Web. One of my favorites DeadlyChakram: I kept a whole bunch of books for when I had my own kids. It's nice to be able to share the exact same ones with them Morgana: Mouse went to the other side? Yikes! DeadlyChakram: haha Endelda: We need some extra Clarks in there to balance things out DeadlyChakram: *pours drinks* If we're seeing that many Loises WITHOUT being tipsy, this should be more fun Lynn S.M.: And you get a Clark, and you get a Clark, and you get a Clark... Endelda: wee! CarrieRene: Extra Clarks is always a good thing DeadlyChakram: oh yeah! Lynn S.M.: (But I'll keep a Clark for myself, too. ) Yay, Vicki! Endelda: Congrats again Vicki! Millefeuilles: Yeah! Hail Vicky! Morgana: Whee! Another win! DeadlyChakram: *blushes* Endelda: a round of Clarks for the house! bottoms up! CarrieRene: One of my favorites this year... congrats Vicki. I would even read some to my Jakey. (sshh don't tell anyone) DeadlyChakram: aww thanks NostalgiaKick: Man, Vicki and Val re killing it this year Morgana: Cover-up? Oh no, they cannot get into an investigation now! Totally! Lynn S.M.: Does that mean your presentations are hare-raising? CarrieRene: Its the year of the V's Endelda: LOL Millefeuilles: LOL NostalgiaKick: I'm lagging badly here btw people, my entire household decided Netflix was their favoured activity this morning DeadlyChakram: *claps* Congrats, Val!!! Endelda: Yay Val (again!) Morgana: The Rules win! NostalgiaKick: The Rules... ruled? Millefeuilles: Congrats, Val! The year of the V, indeed! Lynn S.M.: "V" for "Victory," indeed. DeadlyChakram: I have a cat to my left (across the room) and a cat to the right (other side of the room) and I can hear them snoring Endelda: Val-ctory CarrieRene: LOL Lynn S.M.: Taking cat naps? NostalgiaKick: Kevin's cooking bacon and it smells so good CarrieRene: Someone say bacon... Lynn S.M.: So you're one degree removed from Kevin's Bacon? DeadlyChakram: They each have an armchair to themselves Nice one, Lynn! Zing! Morgana: Will somebody please tell my cat to stay off my computer? CarrieRene: Cat stay off Morgana's computer NostalgiaKick: Bahahaha, Lynn's on fire with the lines Lynn S.M.: Cat, chase some other mouse. DeadlyChakram: Morgana - revoke his/her wifi privileges Morgana: He swatted the monitor! As if I don't have enough technical difficulties tonight! CarrieRene: My CK says "Hi folc friends" Morgana: That's what I get for naming him Nimitz.. Lynn S.M.: NK, Kerth ceremonnies always seem to bring out the silliness in me. Oops, ceremonies DeadlyChakram: Lynn, go for Comedy next Kerths! Man, we got in a LOT of people's heads this year, apparently Yay! Congrats Mille!!!! Morgana: Mille Lynn S.M.: Vicki, my fundaising fic that I wrote last year and promised not to post until this coming June definitely has a healthy dose of silliness. Morgana: Are you still awake? NostalgiaKick: You and me especially it seems LOL CarrieRene: Congrats Mille NostalgiaKick: Yay Mille! DeadlyChakram: Oh yay! Can't wait, Lynn! Endelda: Congrats Mille! Lynn S.M.: Well done, Mille.

You should be super proud DeadlyChakram: Oh yay for inspiration! Millefeuilles: Thank you to my wonderful Betas! Morgana: No matter how long it takes! Lynn S.M.: A teaser: Lois writes a Star Trek filk based on an Elvis song. And that's just a small part of it. Please do, Emma. It will have lots of eager readers, I'm sure. Millefeuilles: I'm going into shock! NostalgiaKick: Two Kerths in your first year is amazing Millefeuilles: I'm properly amazed! CarrieRene: Yes it is Lynn S.M.: Start clearing off a second wall, Val, for all those Kerths. Well done! Millefeuilles: 2018 is V Year.

DeadlyChakram: *pulls up special Val seat right on stage* Morgana: so cool!

Folc4evernaday: It was short for me Morgana: Cross country trips can be fun and rewarding!

Thanks for the transcript. Out of curiosity, how did you make it? I hadn't seen any easy way to save the conversation within the Google page. I also noticed that you changed me from appearing as Annette to having my regular moniker. Did you hand-type the entire transcript? Or is there a third-party app to let you download it and then you did a global find-and-replace to change my handle? Either way, thank you!
Okay guys sorry it took so long to get it up. I had to split it up a bit but here's the transcript for the Ceremony
To answer your question, Lynn, there's a feature in the admin that allows you to search the history of a chat. So I copied and pasted that into a google doc then found and replaced the names to match everyone's screen names and added the ubb equivalent for formatting. So some of it is manual but most of it was copy and pasting.
Congrats to all the winners! Thank you so much! I've been kinda in shock that I actually won a Kerth let alone EIGHT! Thank you, everyone!
Michael
