You know what? FoLC Central got to start out award "season"! You know how all the TV/Movie/Music awards all come at the same time of year? Well, the FoLC award season consists (as far as I know anyway) of the new
(and oh so wonderful) FoLC Faves and the Kerth Awards. So, we started out the season. Pretty cool, huh? :o)
I think the FF (FoLC Faves ;o)) turned out great and we should definitely make them an annual event. I had the pleasure of notifying the winners. A few of them wanted to thank you subscribers out there. So, here ya go:

All Together Favorite Fanfic: "Full Circle" by Crystal Wimmer

There are no words to express how I feel at this moment (believe it or not)...and that's a major thing for an author to say. I am so pleased that Full Circle was so well accepted by FoLCdom, and that I have been able to give
a little back to the circle of writers and readers that bring me such joy.
Fanfic is more than recreation to me... it's a survival skill... an escape. If I can give even a little of that back, I am overjoyed. My special thanks to Anne Ciotola and Annie Lansbury... they keep me writing, and keep me sane.

Thanks again :)

AND
Favorite Dramatic Fanfic: "The Last Goodbye" by Pam Jernigan

Cristin,

You honor me :-) I had checked out the voting form a little while ago and was pleasantly surprised to see that I was on the ballot and of course I'm delighted to have won. I will most definitely plaster this all over my webpage Please thank all your members for me; it's generosity like theirs that makes writing fanfic worthwhile :-)

Favorite Humorous Fanfic: "Where Oh Where Do Supes Clothes Go?" by Erin Klingler

I'm both flattered and thrilled that so many of you thought enough of my fanfic 'Where Oh Where Do Supes' Clothes Go?' to nominate it for an award and vote for it! Knowing my stories are enjoyed means the world to me, and it gives me the motivation to keep on writing. Thanks so much!

Erin Klingler :)


Favorite Short Fanfic: "The Love Letter" by Susan

Hi Cristin****

Wow!! What a nice surprise!! :)) THANK YOU! You can tell everyone I am humbled by this and that I promise to write more vignettes soon :) I'll put up the graphic on my web page and put your URL there too... Tell everyone thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Susan


There were many other winners (as you now know since they are listed in this newsletter ;o)) that *you* nominated and voted for. As I already said, I think this should become a FC tradition. Great job, Molly, on doing the website, the awards, counting votes, and everything else that needed done. Color Me Happy. :o)
