[17:47] *** Topic is 'Welcome to the 1st Annual L&C Fanfic Kerth Awards! (Chatting is in #kerth_chat - please join us there, too!)'
[18:10] [ELK] I'd like to welcome everybody to our first annual Lois and Clark Fanfic Kerth Awards! As of this moment, this channel is moderated, which means only the people with Op status (indicated by an @ sign in front of their name) or someone with a + sign in front of their name will be able to talk. So if you're trying to talk to the channel and nobody is answering you, it's because no one can see what you're typing. :)

[loisrae SOUND]
[18:35] [ELK] Okay. Now for our next category, Best Fanboy Story. Here is Mackteach to announce the nominees and present this award.
[18:36] [Mackteach] when I was first asked to present this award, I asked ... What is a "Fanboy story"? <g> ... leave it to zoom and others to enlighten me ...
[18:37] [Mackteach] and now, I can enlighten all of you <g> ... A Fanboy story is an action story ... as zoom and others have told me "kick-butt Superman stuff" ... and little L&C interaction ...
[18:38] [Mackteach] which is quite ironic, considering that I write LOTS of L&C INTERaction [BEG] ... and little "kick-butt" Superman stuff ...
[18:38] [Mackteach] The nominees are ...
[18:38] [Mackteach] A Flash In the pan - Ben Pistorius
[18:38] [Mackteach] Carry Tiger to Mountain - Debby Stark
[18:38] [Mackteach] Faster Than a Speeding Bullet - Sheila Harper
[18:38] [Mackteach] Man of Kleenex - Louette McInnes
[18:39] [Mackteach] To Be or Not To Be Mrs Kent - Nancy Lemieux
[18:39] [Mackteach] and the winner is ...
[loisrae SOUND]
[18:39] [Mackteach] Faster Than a Speeding Bullet by Sheila Harper!!!
[loisrae SOUND]
[18:40] [KathyB] Sheila couldn't be here tonight due to a previous commitment so she asked me to accept on her behalf
[18:40] [KathyB] As such, I would like to cut and paste from Sheila ...
[18:40] [KathyB] [sharper]
[18:40] [KathyB] I'd like to thank all the little people who made this poss-- No, there weren't any little people. Just me working in desperate, lonely isolation [bg], typing with one hand while fending off the family with the other (CHILD: "Mom, I need lunch money." ME: "You know where the checkbook is. Fill it out and I'll sign it." HUSBAND: "You come home from work and sit down in front of that [fill in the blank] computer until bedtime. Is that the way things are going to be from now on?" ME: "Pretty much." :)
[18:41] [KathyB] Seriously, I would like to thank all the readers who have enjoyed my writing and voted to tell me so. Your support and encouragement make it a real pleasure to keep writing for you. Thank you.
[loisrae SOUND]
[18:41] [ELK] Thanks, Kathy, for accepting for Sheila. I have no doubt that she'll be thrilled. :)
[18:41] [ELK] Our fifth award for the evening is Best Alt Story. Here to announce the nominees and present this award is Crystal.
[18:42] [CrystalW] I am experiencing a great deal of lightning here, so I hope I survive long enough to make this presentation. :)

[18:43] [CrystalW] This Alternate dimention provided us with infinate possibilities for characters that we knew and loved.

[18:44] [CrystalW] Stories that take place in this Alternate dimention, or using the alternate characters that the dimention provided.

[18:49] [ELK] LOL! thanks zoomie. Congratulations!
[18:49] [ELK] Now on to our next category of the evening, Best Revelation/Lois. Here to present this award is Demi.
[Demi22] How does one introduce a revelation? Wow. Well...I guess we could always start with the immortal words of Tempus:
[Demi22] "Hello! Duh! Clark Kent *is* SUPERMAN!".
[Demi22] Of course, we all knew this, and even some of "Lois & Clark"'s best known villains got around to figuring things out...but Lois...Lois Lane was always another matter all together.
[Demi22] I know I can't count the number of times I threw something (soft ;) at my TV screen wishing she would get a clue! And by the end of Second Season...we were all about ready to storm the Bastille <g>
[loisrae SOUND]
[Demi22] In honor of such emotion, here's to 5 talented writers who stepped up to the plate and gave Lois Lane exactly what she needed! Knowledge of the covert identity of her partner *before* he got around to telling her...
[Demi22] The nominated stories for Best Revelation where "Lois Lane figures it out", are:
[Demi22] Amantium Irae Amoris Integratio by Ruth Ellison
[Demi22] Dawning I by Debby Stark
[Demi22] Dimensions of Loving by Chris Mulder
[Demi22] It's about time by Zoomway
[Demi22] and... You Made Me Love you by Zoomway
[Demi22] Ahem <g> May I have the envelope please?
[loisrae SOUND]
[Demi22] And the Fanfic Kerth Award goes to: Dimensions of Loving - Chris Mulder
[Demi22] COngratulations Chris Mulder!!!

[19:04] [ELK] It wasn't really five minutes, but welcome back, folcs! Now let's get on with the awards!
[19:04] [ELK] Our eighth category for the evening, Best Wedding Story, is going to be introduced, and then the award presented by Chris Mulder.
[19:05] [ChrisM^] Lois and Clark's wedding ... the moment we FoLCs waited for, and waited for, and waited for ...
[19:05] [ChrisM^] ;-)
[loisrae SOUND]
[19:05] [ChrisM^] Well, in fanfic we were able to indulge our romantic inclinations to the max at a time when it seemed that TPTB were *never* going to listen to us fans. In this catagory we have five wedding stories as opposed to the three given to us on the show. The major difference between "ours" and "theirs" is that in our stories, Lois and Clark always end up actually married. <g>
[19:06] [ChrisM^] The nominees are:
[19:06] [ChrisM^] A Virtue Rewarded - Barbara
[19:06] [ChrisM^] At Last - Ladee V
[19:06] [ChrisM^] Going to the Chapel - Pam Jernigan & Sarah Wood
[19:07] [ChrisM^] I Now Pronounce You Husband and Wife - Ketsia J. Lerebours
[19:07] [ChrisM^] Teh Wedding Day - Sara Kraft
[19:07] [ChrisM^] And the winner is ...
[loisrae SOUND]
[19:07] [ChrisM^] Going to the Chapel - Pam Jernigan & Sarah Wood
[loisrae SOUND]
[19:08] [ChrisM^] Congratulations, Pam and Sarah :-)
[19:08] [ChiefPam] Thank you! :-) Sarah asked that I accept for us... she gets stage fright <g>
[19:09] [ChiefPam] We wrote this story over 2 years ago, in the summer waiting for WHALTTA... in desperate hope that TPTB would allow Lois to know Clark's secret, first, then get them hitched eventually...
[19:09] [ChiefPam] WHALTTA ruined our villains <g> but I'm glad you all liked the story anyway!
[19:10] [ChiefPam] We need to thank Cesar and Kelley for being so patient with our writing habit!
[19:10] [ChiefPam] Thanks everyone!
[19:10] [ELK] Congratulations to Pam and Sarah for winning, and to all those other writers who were nominated. They were all terrific stories!
[19:10] [ELK] The award for our next category, Best Pregnancy/Delivery story, will be presented by ThreeD.
[loisrae SOUND]
[19:11] [ThreeD] One group of stories starts us into the next generation by giving us a glimpse into what becoming parents involves for Lois and Clark. Beyond the usual rigors of pregnancy, our couple is faced with Kryptonian and human physiology and compatibility as well as the requisite earthly villain.
[19:12] [ThreeD] The nominees for Best Pregnancy/Delivery are...
[19:12] [ThreeD] Hee Hee Hee Whoo Whoo Whoo by Deena J. Cross
[19:13] [ThreeD] A Homemade Gift by Abigail Jolie
[19:13] [ThreeD] Nine Months of Life or Death by Lily
[19:13] [ThreeD] Unknown Emotions by Jeff Brogden
[19:13] [ThreeD] When You Needed Me Most by Erin Klinger
[19:13] [ThreeD] And the winner is...
[19:14] [Volterra] This was *extremely* close
[19:14] [ThreeD] When You Needed Me Most by Erin Klinger
[loisrae SOUND]
[19:14] [ELK] Wow! I'm very touched that so many of you enjoyed my story enough to vote for it. That really means a lot to me! But I need to send a huge thank-you to Kathy Brown, Adrienne Vuckovic, Rich Synave, and Rachel Royce for refusing to let me trash this story after the first draft because there was so many plot holes in it. So thanks, guys! You're the best!
[loisrae SOUND]
[19:15] [ELK] I think this category strikes a special chord in so many of us, especially those of us who are parents and have been through the whole pregnancy/delivery experience a time or two. <g>
[19:15] [ELK] Now here to introduce our next category, Best Next Gen Story, is AMCiotola.
[19:16] [AMCiotola] We will always wonder what it would be like if Lois and Clark had actually had children. What would it be like to see them raise them
[19:16] [AMCiotola] All the authors out there have really done a good job with giving us the future we will never 'see' for Lois and Clark and I thank all of the writers for keeping them alive for us. Unfortunately not every one can be nominated.
[19:17] [AMCiotola] So with out further adieu. The nominees are:
[19:17] [AMCiotola] Aliens and Strangers - Susan Stone
[19:17] [AMCiotola] Chances Are by Sara Kraft
[19:17] [AMCiotola] Laney and the Giant Killers - Susan Stone
[19:18] [AMCiotola] Good night Metropolis by peabody
[19:18] [AMCiotola] My Three Sons - LadeeV
[19:18] [AMCiotola] and the winner is...
[loisrae SOUND]
[19:18] [AMCiotola] Good night Metropolis by peabody
[19:18] [AMCiotola] Congrats Pat :)
[loisrae SOUND]
[19:19] [peabody] Thank you, I suspect that allof you just heard me shout "Oh no" because I can't believe that I won.
[loisrae SOUND]
[19:20] [peabody] It was an honor to be included in the same category with these other authors. Thanks to my editors Bernie, Kate and Hank and a big thank you to my husband mike!
[19:20] [ELK] Thanks, Pat! Congratulations!
[19:20] [ELK] Our next category, Best Alternate Beginnings, may only have three nominees instead of five, but that fact didn't make it any easier for us to pick only one of them! <g> Here to present the award for this category is EmmyRose.
[19:21] [EmmyRose] Ever wonder how our most beloved couple would have lived their lives, had TPTB (often, TPT *didn't*) not written it for us?
[19:21] [EmmyRose] Three talented writers, like Frank Sinatra, can say "I did it my way" ;)
[19:22] [EmmyRose] The nominees for Alternate Beginning are:
[19:22] [EmmyRose] "If You Can't Beat 'Em" by Zoomway
[19:22] [EmmyRose] "In The Beginning" by BB Medos
[19:22] [EmmyRose] and...
[19:22] [EmmyRose] "Meet Me In Kansas City" by Chris Mulder.
[19:22] [EmmyRose] And the Kerth goes to.....
[loisrae SOUND]
[19:23] [EmmyRose] Meet Me In Kansas City by Chris Mulder!!
[loisrae SOUND]
[19:23] [EmmyRose] Congrats Chris!! Again...LOL
[19:24] [ChrisM^] This is *amazing!* I really appreciate you all voting for my stories.
[19:24] [ChrisM^] And my mother used to ask me if my writing would ever amount to anything. <g>
[19:24] [ChrisM^] She should see this! ;-)
[loisrae SOUND]
[19:24] [ChrisM^] Thanks again. :-)
[loisrae SOUND]
[19:25] [ELK] Here to introduce our next category, Best Rewrite, and present the award is Kathy Brown.
[19:25] [KathyB] We have all watched an episode of Lois & Clark and thought "What If?". But these authors took things a step further -- rewriting the episodes to actually *answer* that "What If".
[19:26] [KathyB] Some of these writers gave us alternate endings, some gave us entirely revised episodes, and one even explored Lois's split personality!
[19:26] [KathyB] But all of them wrote wonderful stories that gave us many hours of fun reading.
[19:26] [KathyB] The nominee are:
[19:26] [KathyB] Argh rewrite (4 stories) - Debby Stark
[19:26] [KathyB] Contact Ending - Sarah Wood
[19:27] [KathyB] Forget me not, Redux - Pam Jernigan
[19:27] [KathyB] If Only (Metallo Revised Ending) - Rhen Brink
[19:27] [KathyB] True and Amazing Adventures of Wanda Detroit -Nekanuq
[19:27] [KathyB] And the Kerth goes to ...
[loisrae SOUND]
[19:27] [KathyB] Forget me not, Redux - Pam Jernigan !!!!
[loisrae SOUND]
[19:28] [ChiefPam] This is getting embarrassing, but I love it anyway! <g>
[loisrae SOUND]
[At this point there was a very large netsplit which consumed nearly half the people in the room, so we had to take a short break until things calmed down on IRC :]

[20:04] [PeaceEv] When L&C was cancelled at the end of Season 4, with a tremendous cliffhanger to boot, a huge cry of dismay arose from FoLCdom

[loisrae SOUND]
[20:10] [loisrae] In the summer after L&C was cancelled I got on my computer did a search for Lois and Clark sites. I was surprised, and very pleased to see the number of sites out there. After further looking, I found one or two sites that really made my heart skip a beat.
[20:10] [loisrae] My show hadn't been cancelled after all! There were some wonderful people called FoLCs that were continuing my show into its fifth season. I was instantly hooked and have been ever since. This award honors those creative souls that have continued our favorite television series into a fifth season.
[20:11] [loisrae] The nominees for Best Fifth Season Episode are

[20:14] [KathyB] Of course, I also told Sheila that I would edit the log and keep this Kerth should she win (since she beat me ;)) "Those missing 18 minutes of the log? It was Nixon's secretary."
[20:14] [KathyB] [vbg]
[loisrae SOUND]
[20:15] [KathyB] But Sheila is an incredible author and I'm proud to be associated with her. She's taught me a lot, and she really deserves this award.
[20:15] [KathyB] So, in Sheila's own words ... "Thank you ... again. I'm stunned ..."
[loisrae SOUND]
[20:16] [ELK] Now onto our next category of the evening, Best Music/Poem Adaptation. Here to present the award in this category is Leanne.
[loisrae SOUND]
[20:16] [Volterra] Thanks, Erin. That's a nice outfit you have there.
[20:16] * ELK looks at her sweatshirt..."what? this old thing?: [bg]
[20:16] [Volterra] Every once and a while, a song comes along that has a certain meaning and we writers get the urge to write a fanfic around them.

[20:17] [Volterra] Anyway, the following stories are just like that. The nominees are:

[20:37] [ChiefPam] Besides Lex Luthor, our favorite villain has been the sarcastic Tempus. With his ability to travel through time and cross universes, all the while making wisecracks, he's a favorite in fanfiction as well, enabling our characters to deal with situations that are quite unusual -- even for Lois and Clark.

[20:56] [PeaceEv] Thank you!!!

* Sound request: can't find 'likelighting.wav'
[loisrae SOUND]
[20:57] [Lois_Lane] thank you Erin
[20:57] [Lois_Lane] FanFic allows us to explore all the possibilities of what COULD happen. And in the catagory of crossovers, the authors have done just that.
[20:57] [Lois_Lane] what would happen if two different sets of characters from two different universes could meet...oh the sparks would fly! ;)
[20:58] [Lois_Lane] After all, how else could Mulder and Scully ask to see Superman's green card, or Dean ask Lois just where the bathroom is in that apartment of hers...

[21:03] [EmmyRose] The genre of Nfic may be limited to those over the age of 18 but it still allows many of us to "expand" our minds ;) You don't have to be Star to know what our nominees were thinking [beg]
[EmmyRose SOUND]

[Demi] I'm so flattered and awed.
[Demi] Thanks :)
[21:07] [ELK] Congratulations, Demi!
[21:07] [ELK] There are probably many of you folcs who didn't get to read the stories in this category due to their age-sensitive material. But on the behalf of those of us who *are* old enough to enjoy them, I'd like to say "Great work!" to the writers of these five nominees. Maybe next year we can have a separate nfic awards so that the many other terrific nfics can get a chance to be nominated in the categories they deserve to.
[21:07] [ELK] The award for our next category, Best Deathfic, will be presented by PeaceEv.
[21:07] [PeaceEv] It's always difficult to write or read about the death of a character, especially those we've grown to know and love so well. And yet death is a part of life, and so stories about death have their place in the world of fanfiction.
[21:08] [PeaceEv] The five writers who have moved us to tears with their portrayals of the end of life are:
[21:08] [PeaceEv] A Dying Flame - Christy Kubit
[21:08] [PeaceEv] Angel of the Morning, Jennifer Bullock
[21:08] [PeaceEv] Because You Loved Me - Michelle Putkoff
[21:08] [PeaceEv] Remembrances - Dan Shawler
[21:08] [PeaceEv] Summer's Twilight - Jackie MacPherson
[21:08] [PeaceEv] And the award goes to..
[loisrae SOUND]
[21:09] [PeaceEv] Because You Loved Me - Michelle Putkoff
[loisrae SOUND]
[21:09] * PeaceEv hugs Michelle and hands her the Kerth
[21:10] [keina] I'm so thrilled!
[loisrae SOUND]
[21:10] [keina] I have only written one other fanfic and it wasn't so good. But when this one came into my head, I just had to write it
[21:11] [keina] I want to thank Bizarra for without whom I would have never written a word for any story
[21:11] [keina] god I'm shaking i'm so excited!
[21:12] [keina] everyone tells me I started the whole deathfic...well I'm working on a nfic to make up for that ;-)
[21:13] [ELK] Congratulations, Keina! Now our next award for the category of Best Elseworld story will be presented by ChrisP. Hi Chris!
[21:15] [chrispat] Elseworld, is a word and story genre that comes from the comic books. Virtually anything goes, because none of it is canon in the real storyline
[21:15] [chrispat] In elseworlds, heroes are taken from their usual settings and put into strange times and places - some that have existed, or might have existed, and others that can't couldn't, or shouldn't exist.
[21:15] [chrispat] The nominees for Elseworld stories are:
[21:16] [chrispat] "All the President's Men" by Pam Jernigan
[21:16] [chrispat] "Counter Clark-Wise" by Zoomway
[21:16] [chrispat] "If You Can't Beat 'Em" also by Zoomway
[21:16] [chrispat] "Join 'Em" by Kari Uberg
[21:16] [chrispat] "When a Great Man Loves a Super Woman" by Ben Pistorius
[21:16] [chrispat] And the winner is....
[loisrae SOUND]
[21:17] [chrispat] Counter Clark-Wise by Zoomway

[21:17] [chrispat] Congratulayions, zoom :)

http://www.geocities.com/TelevisionCity/Set/7137/kerth/kerthnom.htm
[21:18] [zoomway] I thank you the most for this one, because if fanfic writers are allowed to have a favorite of their own, this is mine, I started it way back in Dec 93 as an L&C script, it means a lot, thank you!
[21:18] [ELK] Congratulations again, Zoom! Here to announce the nominees and present the award for Best WAFFy Story is Cee-El.
[loisrae SOUND]
[21:18] [Cee-El] WAFFs, those Warm And Fuzzy Feelings brought on by seeing our favourite couple together and showing their love for one another.
[21:19] [Cee-El] The show managed to do that for me on a regular basis (as well as getting it wrong occasionally too <g>) and now the fanfic writers carry on the wonderful tradition of giving us WAFFy moments to enjoy.
[21:19] [Cee-El] These heartwarming moments can make us smile or cry (or even dance around the room singing <g> but they always leave us feeling better inside.
[21:20] [Cee-El] The nominees for the WAFFy category are ...
[21:20] [Cee-El] A Christmas to Remember by Barbara Geraud
[21:20] [Cee-El] Camping with Clark by Kathy Brown

[21:21] [Cee-El] Camping with Clark by Kathy Brown
[21:21] [Cee-El] Congratulations Cathy
[21:21] [Cee-El] oops - Kathy! :)
[21:21] [KathyB] Oh wow .. now I know what the others meant when they said they were shaking <g>
[loisrae SOUND]
[21:22] [KathyB] Thank you so much!! This was my first story and I had so much fun doing it. And to be recognized in this way is just incredible.
[loisrae SOUND]
[21:22] [KathyB] There are so many writers who have inspired me -- Sheila, Chris M, Demi, Pam J, Zoom ... and many more I just can't think of right now. Thank you to my editors and all my on-line buddies. Everyone has been so encouraging.
[21:22] [KathyB] Thank you. This is a huge honor. :)
[21:23] [ELK] Congratulations, Kathy!
[21:23] [ELK] I would like to make a quick announcement before we move onto the Best Fic Overall category.

[21:24] [ELK] Now-last but certainly not least, our final fanfic category of the evening. To introduce the nominees and present the award of Best Fic Overall, here is our very own Rhen. Hi Rhen!
[21:26] [Rhen] I have no idea why I was given the special honor of announcing the Best Fic Overall
[21:27] [Rhen] If I had my way each and every author who has ever put pen to paper and given us their special version of our favorite couple should get not one but a dozen kerths.
[21:27] [Rhen] Well, since only one could finally be chosen I guess I'd better announce the nominees

[21:28] [Rhen] Dawning - Debby Stark
[21:28] [Rhen] Love Beyond All Measure/Dimensions of Loving - Chris Mulder

[21:30] [Rhen] and the winner is ...

[21:31] [ChrisM^] I want you all to know that Rhen put up with me bigtime when I was just getting started with my writing.
[21:31] [ChrisM^] She gave me a lot of encouragement. Thank you, Rhen. :-)

[21:34] [Volterra] Rhen!!!
[21:35] [Volterra] Come on up Rhen!
[21:35] [Rhen] Wait! I want a recount!
* Sound request: unable to play 'lol.wav'

[21:35] [Volterra] No way, Jose :)
[21:35] [Rhen] Honestly ... I'm shocked ...
[21:35] * Volterra gives the award to Rhen and hugs her
[21:35] [ChiefPam] I know we didn't put this up for a vote... but the committee decided that this just couldn't be disputed
[21:35] [ChiefPam] And we wanted it to be a surprise :-)
[21:36] [Rhen] Gosh ... thank you all for making my L&C fanfic experience one of many years of joy - keep writing!
[21:36] [ChiefPam] Congrats, Rhen... no one deserves this more than you!
[loisrae SOUND]
[21:36] [Rhen] Can I say one more thing?
[21:37] [Rhen] It's so much bigger in real life!
[21:37] [Rhen] THank you all
[loisrae SOUND]
[loisrae SOUND]
[21:37] [ELK] I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Leanne for getting these fanfic Kerth Awards rolling, and volunteering to take charge of the nominations, voting, ballot counting - and probably so much more than we even know :) I'd also like to thank Pam for being brave enough <g> to volunteer to coordinate this ceremony.
[21:37] [ELK] And to all the many other folcs who helped make this whole shin-dig such a success! We'll see you next year for our second-annual Lois and Clark Fanfic Kerth Awards. In the mean time, keep writing!
[21:37] [ELK] Stay tuned for the fun of an after-awards party over in #kerth_chat! Just be careful-you never know which gossip columnists will be there watching and listening to everything you do and say! [vbeg] (Which should tell you to watch for the "Society Page" article in the next couple of days on a LOISCLA list near you. <g>)
