Thanks Mellie. Yeah, I've had more limited internet access over the summer, so I wasn't always able to read or participate in as many discussions as before.
As far as hugs...
Sue/DJ for producing so much fanfic to keep us readers from getting bored. And for actually inspiring my first fic, a mini-extension of a part from FB.
Mellie, for being the first to ask me to beta for them, which I was glad to do, thus giving me a view into that aspect of ficmaking.
Doranwen, for introducing me to FoLCdom. (She's my sister)
QotC, for making me laugh, time and again. All the comedy fic writers, actually, but I think some of Mary's was the first I saw.
To all of those that have been here for so long, keeping the flame alive and passing on the torch.
