Another Kerth ceremony is in the books. Who won? TriciaW has the details over on the fanfic boards, and we've updated our Kerth 2009 page — now with winners' certificates courtesy of ML Thompson. 4/14/2009

Sad news. Jeanne Pare reports that writer Philip Mogul has passed away. She edited his story "The Second Time Around" and has submitted it for him posthumously. Her editor's note tells us more about this fascinating and interesting man. He'll be much missed. 1/17/2009

Fanfic database project. We're still working on the database project, which will eventually let you zero in on just the stories you're looking for by searching on keywords and themes. In the meantime, check out the raw data. (*Updated June 28 to reflect all stories in the archive uploaded prior to June 22. The random story generator is also updated.) 6/28/2008

The 2008 Kerth ceremony is in the books. Who won? What happened? Find out on the fanfic boards, at the Kerth site or on our 2008 Kerths page, which have been updated with award certificates. Thanks to ML Thompson for creating the beautiful certificates and allowing us to post them online. She also sent certificates for 2007, and we've updated that page as well. 5/14/2008

Social networking for FoLCs. Want to connect with other FoLCs? Get to know other fans and share your views in a fun game environment — while helping a fellow FoLC! Betty (aka Simba) and her school friends have put together a new approach to social networking called Mindkin and are test driving the idea with a site specifically for FoLCs. Send e-mail to Betty if you have feedback or problems registering. 9/9/2007

Reformatting archive stories. Do you want to get rid of line breaks in archive stories? Do you print off stories to read but wish the short line lengths didn't waste so much paper? Do you spend lots of time reformatting stories to read or print in your word processor? There's a trio of new options to help. Our formatting page lets you convert a story to and from archive format. LaraMoon has written a Windows utility that batch-converts a folder full of archive .txt files, removing line breaks. And Sara has prepared an illustrated tutorial to walk you through the formatting process in Microsoft Word. 11/26/2006

AudioFic underway: Authors and Readers wanted! Authors, would you like your stories added to the pool of fanfics that may eventually be read as AudioFics? Readers, would you like to contribute by narrating a favorite story? We need your help. Writer Paul-Gabriel Wiener is coordinating the project and has posted details here. (Thanks, Paul!) 10/1/2006

Listen up! :-) Writer Paul-Gabriel Wiener had an interesting idea. What would happen if you gave fanfic the audio book treatment? So awhile back he picked up a microphone and recorded himself reading one of his stories — and Lois & Clark audiofic was born. Check it out on the AudioFic page! Thanks, Paul, for sharing it and becoming the first voice of the archive. It's a great idea — and a great story! And audiofic is something we hope to offer more of in the future. 9/24/2006

Reminder. Please note that if you want your story archived you MUST use a real e-mail address on the submission form when you send it to the EIC. Please do also check that if your address is able to receive mail. Not full or blocked. Otherwise, we'll be unable to contact you regarding the submission process and your story will be deleted unread. 9/17/2006

Pardon our mess! We're still working on updating and enhancing the Web site. You may notice some changes in the coming weeks and months — please bear with us.

Is there a Lois & Clark fanfic-related Web site event or phenomenon that should be listed in our News Update? tell us so we can tell the FoLC.
