We need FoLCs from every skillset! Are you good at...? SPEECHES? We Need: Presenters for 16 Categories GRAPHICS OR VIDS? We Need: Nominee banners and/or videos Award banners for the winners New Author celebratory graphics or vids TECH STUFF? We Need: Ushers and Guides to help FoLCs navigate IRC A Voice On/Off Controller for the ceremony chat SCULPTING? We Need: A life-sized statue of Queen of the Capes riding a dragon-tiger and holding swords Queenie may not have expected me to leave this one in here! Join the Kerth Committee: See The Internet Stop by your local recruitment thread today! Thanks, Queenie, for writing a fabulous advertisement! It’s volunteer time, FoLCs!! Please comment, email, or message us and let us know what you are willing to help with! We have lots of categories, so we need lots of presenters! Are you willing to do one or two presentation speeches? Take on all the size-related categories? The comedy and and the WaFFY one? Let us know—and give us a few options to choose from of what you’d like to try, and we’ll do our best to assign everyone accordingly. Don’t know what we mean by presentation speech? Haven’t been to a Kerth Ceremony in a while or it’s your first one? Presenters write a speech (funny, sweet, serious—your choice!), and when it’s your turn to present, you’ll copy and paste your speech in a few lines at a time as though you were actually presenting in person. Then, after you’ve listed the nominees for the category, one of the K-Comm (probably Michael) will PM you the winner for you to announce to everyone! To get an idea what one looks like, I’ve pasted below Doranwen’s speech for Best Super Short Story from the 2007 Kerth Awards Ceremony. Quote <Kaethel> And please welcome Lisa onto the stage with our first award: Best Super Short Story! <YConnell> +v mrsmosley <MrsMosley> Actually Doranwen is supposed to do this one * Kaethel takes the Champagne away from Y <Kaethel> aha! * Kaethel takes the Champagne away from self too then <g< <Doranwen> Well, the nominees this year are . . . * Doranwen turns around as she hears a psst sound <Doranwen> What? <Doranwen> You mean I'm supposed to give a real speech? <Doranwen> I thought this was Best Super Short? <YConnell> lol <Doranwen> Oh, it's the stories that are super short, got it. <Kaethel> lol * Doranwen turns back to audience <Doranwen> Ahem, sorry there, folks. <Doranwen> The category of Best Super Short is for those stories which fit a size limit of 1-10 kb. They're perfect for a quick read as you scarf down your breakfast in the morning, get dressed, and do your hair. <Doranwen> They range from funny bits that have us clutching our sides in laughter to waffy mini-passages that make us sigh happily. For the fanfic addict who can't afford the time for longer amounts, these bite-size portions are the little doses of fic that can get you through the day. <Doranwen> This year, the nominees for Best Super Short are: <Doranwen> Damn Good Thing, by MrsMosley <Doranwen> His Body Above Her, by C_A <Doranwen> Incompatible, by David <Doranwen> Touch, by Chris Carr <Doranwen> World Enough, and Time, by C_A <Doranwen> and the winner is . . . * Doranwen waits for the envelope <Doranwen> Touch, by Chris Carr! Not sure you can attend the ceremony? Or maybe not all of it? That’s okay! While it’s ideal that you’re there, you can still write a speech and ask someone who can attend to paste for you! As you can see from the advertisement, presenting is not all that we need help with! There are a few different ways to help contribute! Has someone else already commented what you wanted to work on? No worries! With a few exceptions, we can divvy up work to spread the love around. Please respond as soon as you can to let us know how you can help! In the meantime, don’t forget to keep reading so that you’re ready to cast your vote! Have a question? Ask it here! Or you can PM any of the K-Com members or reach out on Discord too!

If that mission is accomplished than we have done what we set out to do, which is to entertain and hopefully educate.

There are still tons of volunteer opportunities and most of them only take a few minutes of your time and are lots of fun. Honestly the best part of the Kerths for me has always been the way it brings everyone out to celebrate and get involved. I love seeing people volunteer for the first time or for the first time in a long time. Presenting at the ceremony is always a blast, and if you're feeling shy, there are plenty of behind the scenes opportunities too. Being a reporter is as much a diagnosis as a job description. ~Anna Quindlen
