[AMCiotola SOUND] Day Breaks was a scene I wrote some time ago, in hopes of wrapping a full length nfic around it. I never got around to writing that story, or even plotting it , so I put the scene out there for a stand alone fanfic. And now I'm very glad I did! :) Thanks to everyone! * KathyB waves as she exits the stage. :) [AMCiotola SOUND] Congratulations, Kathy! Kathy's plaque can be seen at http://www.geocities.com/area51/meteor/7378/roy99.jpg Our next category is Best Dramatic, presented by Chris.

[AMCiotola SOUND] Sheila's plaque for this story can be seen at http://www.geocities.com/area51/meteor/7378/mark51.jpg Kathy will now be presenting our Best Next Generation category. [AMCiotola SOUND] Next Generation stories follow the lives of our favorite characters into the future.

Accepting on Julie's behalf ... she regrets not being able to attend but left me with this to share with you Wow! Considering that my "muse" has been MIA for going on almot 10 months now, I never in my wildest dreams believed that I would win an nKerth. I really and truly feel that being nominated in the company of so many incredible writers is the greater honor. There are a few people that I do want to take this opportunity to thank: My heartfelt thanks to the ladies on AOL and IRC who urged, cajoled, cheered, twitched , "next"-ed, and supplied my muse with encouragement, inspiration, and cyber-coke. Ladies, it has been a great pleasure to be a part of your company. My thanks to Demi, Sheila, KathyB, JCWimmer, LabRat, FlakeyDom, and all the other incredible writers whose works of fiction -- n or not -- continue to give me and other readers innumerable hours of pleasure and fantasy. You're all the best! Thank you once again for this award. I'm very grateful. Congratulations all!

[AMCiotola SOUND] Strange people are always breaking into your home and shining bright paralyzing lights into your eyes. You're afraid to answer the telephone or open your mail for fear of threats, dead roses, smashed cakes and itchy rings. You need Dr. Friskin's new book "Why Me? or How to Live A Normal Life As A Target for Terrorists and Maniacal Homicidal Psychotics."

This is the award for Best Original Idea, and in this category we have some truly outstanding stories, most of which are long-standing favourites in FOLCdom. Lois and Clark once agreed that there were no new stories, just new angles. Well, I think most of us would argue that with these particular stories, the authors found more than just 'new angles' - though perhaps there were a few of those as well, particularly in Sheila's Mxysplit! The nominees are: Camping with Clark by Kathy Brown Heaven's Prisoners by Demi How He Needed Her by Carolyn Schnall Man Out of Time by Anonymous Mxysplit/All Mixed Up by Sheila Harper Reach Out and Touch by Becky Foxx and Julie Mack Revisionist History by Kathy Brown Sanctuary by B. B. Medos A Shot in the Dark by Sheila Harper And the envelope, please...? The Runner-up is... for the THIRD time tonight.... A Shot in the Dark by Sheila Harper And the winner is....

I'm just--dammit, would someone get that security guy with the phaser offstage! ...stunned. * sheilah collapses in a graceless heap. [AMCiotola SOUND] Congratulations again, Sheila! [AMCiotola SOUND] Sheila's plaque for this story in this category can be viewed at http://www.geocities.com/area51/meteor/7378/billy22.jpg Our next category is Best New Krypton presented by Alexis. Hi! As most of you know, my name is Alexis. This is my first time at an award's show and I am very happy to be here. I am honored to be presenting this next award since I just started writing Lnc fanfic/nfic myself. =) This next category is Best New Krypton nfic. This is the category where author's could abundantly be using the word Dean had to describe the black Kryptonian suit. Now only if we knew exactly what that was! ;-.) So without further ado, the nominees are: The Concubine by Jennifer Eagan Endless Nightz by Menolly The Heir : The Healing by Peace and Piper Joined by Lyds The Secret Knows by Peace Taken by Sandy McDermin and the winner is.....

[AMCiotola SOUND] Dawn is lagged now, oops... we'll have to announce that plaque later Next up in Anne Ciotola to present the award for the Best Elseworld Nfic :) :) Did you ever wonder what happened to outside the relm of the show? What if Clark and Lois didn't wait until their wedding night ;) and what if things weren't always as happy as they can be ... Those who showed us how it could have been are ...: Faster Than A Speeding Bullet by Sheila Harper Heaven's Prisoners by Demi Investigations by Gina Di'ubaldo Joined by Lyds Plan 69 from Outer Space by ChiefPam, chrispat, PeaceEv, Demi, sharper, and Zoomway Sanctuary by B. B.

[AMCiotola SOUND] Hoooboy Now I have to say something clever and my brain is all slimy and mushy ! :) Well, I think the most rewarding and exciting experience for any writer is the moment we realize that in whatever small way, we've managed to reach our audience on an intimate or personal level. Thanks everyone.. I just have no words!! [AMCiotola SOUND] And thank you, Demi! And now, we move to a short commercial break ... don't touch that dial! Er, keyboard!

NKerth award winning author Sheila will now present the Best First Time Rewrite category. * Demi snags Mxy with the cane.. (Gotcha! Go ahead Sheila... .coast is clear! ;) There's something special about a couple's first time, but even more so when the couple is Lois and Clark, whose love crosses the boundaries of time and space. The series gave us the kiss that proceeded their first time together and the afterglow that followed it, but the rest was left to our imaginations. And FoLCs are nothing if not imaginative! I think I'll repeat that since we just had the splitters rejoin us. thanks Sheila There's something special about a couple's first time, but even more so when the couple is Lois and Clark, whose love crosses the boundaries of time and space. The series gave us the kiss that proceeded their first time together and the afterglow that followed it, but the rest was left to our imaginations. And FoLCs are nothing if not imaginative! Clark's status as a vir--v-very patient man, in combination with his super powers, has provided an almost irresistible lure to nfic writers, so Lois & Clark's first time has been written many, many times. Tonight, I have the honor to present to you seven of the very best stories that focus on that first time. The nominees for Best First Time Rewrite are "And the Answer Isn't" by Demi "A Consummate Revelation" by the Gorn "Crossing the Line" by Peace "The First Time" by Lillonely "Honeymoon in Metropolis Take Two" by AMCiotola, chrispat, CrystalW, KathyB, Lansbury, Nekanuq, Mackteach, Shadowcat and Zoomway "Sugar and Spice" by Doc.

She's the best. :) Thanks again! [AMCiotola SOUND] Congratulations again Kathy!

Fanfiction is such a fulfilling and enriching hobby, and I have the FoLCs to thank for introducing me to it, and for cheering on even my most pathetic first attempts. ;) It's a debt of inspiration I'll probably never be able to repay because as a writer of this 'stuff', I'll always feel as though I'm receiving far more joy than I'm able to give back… Thank you all so very much … :-) * KathyB hands Demi a shovel ;) [AMCiotola SOUND] * Demi elbows Kathy (good naturedly ;) Congratulations again, Demi!

The basic idea is that each person writes a segment of the story, then passes the turn to the next writer. Some groups like to just see where the story goes, while other groups like to map out a general plot ahead of time. Regardless, the writing of these stories provides both a challenge and a fun time for everyone involved. The strength of this category proves how many wonderful Round Robins there are currently in FoLCdom.
