[18:18] These stories range from a tearjerking deathfic to a hilarious extension of a great episode to a waffy story from Lois’ point of view to an original story that amuses the reader. Being short is probably one of the few things the nominated stories have in common. [18:19] Short stories are often my favorite stories because they can be read quickly and provide a smile almost instantaneously. [18:19] The nominees for best short story / vignette are..... [18:19] The Last Goodbye by Pam Jernigan [18:19] Lois Says (1 and 2) by Chris Mulder [18:19] It’s Genetic! by Misha [18:19] and [18:19] Where, Oh Where, Do Supes Clothes Go? by Erin Klingler [18:19] May I have the envelope please?

The term has become such a part of FoLCdom that Tim Minear even used it in one of his L&C episodes, Meet John Doe, to honor the FolCs [18:22] The stories in this category are those that give us that warm and fuzzy feeling. [18:22] They can be tender, romantic, or just plain fun. [18:23] And tonight, we have 5 outstanding nominees.

Christy (Attalanta) will be our esteemed presenter :) [19:05] *** Lansbury sets mode: +v Attalanta [19:05] To the uninitiated, it might seem strange that some of the best Lois and Clark episodes were penned by unpaid writers, starred actors who never got a peak at the scripts, and never graced the airways. [19:05] *** Joins: Carrielu (deandream@dial-23-TNT-BTVT-01.ramp.together.net) [19:05] *** cory is on IRC [19:05] But S5/S6 episodes are as much a part of L&C history as the day Perry introduced our two heroes. This award honors those who kept Lois and Clark alive in our hearts and on our hard drives, and gave life to their daughter, Laura. The nominees for best S5/S6 episode are- [19:05] Oh Give Me a Home by Jeff Brogden [19:06] Through the Looking Glass by Kathy Brown [19:06] It's Time by Pam Jernigan [19:06] Charity Begins at Home by Sandy McDermin [19:06] Strained Relations and For the Good of the Child by Chris Mulder, Pam Jernigan, and Barb [19:06] And the envelope please-- [AMCiotola SOUND] [19:06] this was a 3 way tie till the last hour!!!

[19:14] Full Circle tried to provide an ending for both the TUFS season, and for [19:15] "Lois and Clark" as a series. I think we managed to do that. Thank you.
