These are the results, as reported to me by the chief vote-counter, Leanne Shawler. For many categories, she includes notes on how the voting went. Nominees, if you didn't win, you may at least find you were a close second - then again, you may find that you weren't... these results will be posted on other sites without comment, if you prefer them that way.

Best Alt Story - Always Something There to Remind Me by Zoomway

Best Series - Love Beyond All Measure and Dimensions of Loving by Chris Mulder
Best Series Continuation - Season 5 (S5)

Best Poem - 'Twas the Day After...' poems by Sue Tremblay
(proving that stuffed ballots have absolutely no effect)
Best In-Betweenie - 12:01 by Zoomway
(Wow! By a LANDSLIDE!)
Best Lex Story - Dimensions of Loving by Chris Mulder
(There wasn't even a race in this category, Chris' story stood it's own ground and won by a very large margin.)
Best Tempus Story - Tempus Fugitive Revisited by Kaz from Oz
(pulled out ahead of what could1ve been a three-way tie)
Best Round Robin - Mirror Image by Sheila Harper, Zoomway, Pam Jernigan, Chris Paterson, Annette Ciotola, Jennifer Stosser, Peace, Kathy Brown, and Pat Heidkamp

Best crossover - SwapMeet by Debby Stark/Margaret Brignell
(Actually this came in second to an overwhelming *no vote*!)
Best nfic - Heaven's Prisoners by Demi
(There was quite a race in this category. All 5 stories did very nicely in the overall votes. It was clear that the FoLCs definitely have different taste in nfic!)
Best Deathfic - Because You Loved Me by Michelle Putkoff
(honourable battle for second)
Best Elseworld - Counter Clark-Wise by Zoomway
(by an incredible LANDSLIDE!)
Best WAFFy story - Camping with Clark by Kathy Brown
(This fic won by a LANDSLIDE!)
Best Fic Overall - Meet Me in Kansas City by Chris Mulder
(This category was by far the closest race among the categories that I had. One interesting note was that Chris had 2 stories in this category. Both of those stories were in the lead at one point of the voting. KC won by a margin over Dimensions, with the other three trailing by only a few votes. Congratulations Chris!!!!!)
And a suprise that wasn't on the ballot...
Lifetime Achievement Award - Rhen Brink
For her invaluable efforts in distributing fanfic as the fandom was just getting started, the Kerth Awards Committee (Leanne, Pam, & Erin) are very pleased to recognize Renate Brink - and it should be noted that this idea also came up in #kerth_chat before we announced it :-) so that makes it nearly unanimous.
And that's all she wrote... congratulations to all the winners, and to all the nominees - and remember, the real winners are the fanfic *readers* <g>
