Web Site Update

Due to America Online difficulties (in other words, AOL is BEING difficult), I've been having a lot of trouble with the web pages. This includes the SuperSite AND the FOLC Central site. Don't worry, they're still there. But I have to get everything back in order before I'll be able to update them :) Please be patient, and they should be back to normal by the middle of next week at the latest (I hope!) Thanks!

FANFIC CONTEST WINNERS!!!
******************************************************************************
Yes! It's the moment you've been waiting for! :)

Quick re-cap: In April, we asked FOLC Central members to send us their own fanfic for the First Annual FOLC Central Fanfic Contest! The deadline was June 1. Since then, the judges have been working hard to read and rate the fanfics, and we can now officially announce the winners!

And The Winners Are...

Crystal Wimmer (JCWimmer@aol.com), for her fanfic "Full Circle"

and...

Susan VanCott (Kirshnera@aol.com), for her fanfic "Give Me One Good Reason Why Not!"

******************************************************************************

Full Circle is just astounding. I couldn't put it down (I had printed it out). The judges gave this one high marks. This is one of those great fanfics that you can read over and over again and still get more out of it! It's like a really, really good movie. The characters are realistic, and the plot will keep you very interested. A++

Give Me One Good Reason Why Not! is short, but very sweet :) What caught my attention was the way it was written. The author has a unique style of writing with this one that's just beautiful. Plus, the plot is very...well, I'll let you read it. The judges enjoyed this one and gave it high marks as well. I think you'll enjoy it, too:) A+

******************************************************************************

We plan to put both of these fanfics, along with the many wonderful others that were submitted, on the web site as long as it's OK with the authors. THANK YOU!!!! to those who entered. :) And SUPER THANKS to the judges, I know it sounds cliche, but we couldn't have done it without you!

Susan (Kirshnera@aol.com) is also the winner of our random prize drawing! Congrats!

******************************************************************************
L&C Questionette!


The question from the July 1st newsletter was...if Lois and Clark were online, what would their screen names possibly be? You can use your own online system and the rules that apply to it for picking a username, and make the username fit the personality or something about the character. Also, make up screen names for Perry, Lex, Cat, etc. if you want! :) Please don't send in any more answers...well you can send them, I just probably won't get to print them (unless I get a whole bunch or something! I can always make exceptions!) :) Why? Because we have deadlines, people, deadlines! Hey, I kind of sound like Perry, don't I? OK...maybe not... :)

******************************************************************************

Clark's could be Farmboy@aol.com
Lex's could be 3rdrichest@aol.com

Ok I have spent some time thinking this one over. :o)
Clark: CKluvJen@aol.com (I like this one! )
Lois: FalFrumBldg@aol.com
Jimmy: Holdelvtor@aol.com
Perry: DaKing65@aol.com
Cat: SlpWithU@aol.com (hehe, sorry! Had to do it!)
Lex: Baldfreak22@aol.com
Ok that's all I thought up! Sort of dumb, but I really like that first one! j/k!

Lex-MoneyMakr@aol.com
Guy behind the camera on lois and clark- SeenItAll@aol.com
ABC's name-KillDaShow@aol.com

--From Erin (ErinFOLC@aol.com)
****************
Lois: LaneK@bellsouth.net

I think Lois would have a simple, no nonsense kind of name incorporating
the fact she's married. no cutesy stuff for her.

Clark: farmboy@bellsouth.net

I think Clark would pick something like that just to have fun with Lois
about his "farmboy charm"....

Thanks everyone! :) I'll put a new Questionette in the August 1st newsletter!

SuperSite Trivia Contest


Sign up by e-mailing supertrivia@hotmail.com and be sure to tell us your NAME, or whatever name you want to go by during the contest, and say I WANT TO SIGN UP.

Every Monday and Thursday (starting THIS MONDAY, July 20), we'll send out two trivia questions to everyone who has signed up.

Your job is to answer the questions as best you can. You may study your tapes to find the answers, but be aware that you are on a time limit. You must answer Monday's questions BEFORE Thursday's questions are sent out. And you must answer Thursday's questions before the next Monday's questions are sent out. If you send in your answers too late, you won't get credit, even if they're correct. That's why this contest should only be entered by people who check their e-mail at least once every 1-2 days.

For each question you answer on time and get correct, you'll get 5 points. You can earn up to 20 points a week. The scores will be posted on the SuperSite. For each question you answer on time and get partially or sort-of correct, you'll get 3 points. Even if it's completely wrong, you'll get 1 point for at least trying. If you don't answer at all, you'll get 0 points.

The trivia questions range from very very easy to downright difficult. There WILL be prizes, but we haven't decide how or what quite yet. The contest will end in late August and the FOLCs with the highest scores will be honored on the SuperSite.

So, L&C Trivia Champ hopefuls, sign up SOON. If you have any questions, e-mail LoveLC@aol.com!
