Okay, I'm back to make a personal note. I really want to thank all of you who nominated and voted for my fic. I am stunned by the results and to say that I feel extremely grateful just doesn't seem adequate enough. You girls are some of the most supportive people I've ever had the pleasure of knowing and it is a joy and a gift to have you in my life. Reading your comments always makes me smile and can turn a bad day to a good one. This site brings me such contentment and I am so honored and lucky to have friends like all of you.

Thank you for these awards. I can't say it enough and it really means a lot to me.

:hug:

It's because we love you and you deserve it, Amber! ^_^

I guess this is the thank you speech thread, so...thanks so much you guys, for nominating me and voting for me! I was really surprised, I didn't know you liked Rosalyn that much. :cmon: But I'm so excited and it means a lot to me! It's what keeps the story going, all the encouragement from my dear readers. Aww, definitely feeling loved now. I love you guys. :grouphug:

Congratlations to everyone! Hopefully next time, I can participate too. I've missed this place, hehe. :love:

Just a quick shout out and super huge congrats to all the winners and nominees of the awards.

To all the winners - My hats off to you all. You all deserve the recognition you are receiving. *high fives all around*

To the nominees - Congrats. It obviously means that you are doing something right to receive nominations for the awards. You should be proud of yourselves, I know I am proud of you all.

And lastly, I just want to thank each and everyone of you that nominated one of my stories for the awards. To say the least, I was floored and I blushed more than once. Your support is amazing and that is why I love this board so much. In fact, I actually feel bad for not being able to contribute as much as I had in the past. Let's just say that your nominations were a gentle reminder to get off my butt now that summer is here and let my muse run wild.

Thank you and congrats again to all the winners! :getdown:

Hey everybody,

I just wanted to thank you all for voting for me.
This does mean alot to me and I thank you all for reading.
I never expected that my first fictional story would be so apriciated.
I have no idea what else to say since I already ranted a bit in the tread of Downfall.
I do have to congratulate all the other winners, congratulations guys, you most defenitly deserve it.

Love, Moon

Although I didn't win anything, I still want to congratulate everyone who did especially Amber and Moon! You gals both deserve it!

And thanks to everyone who did nominate me, it put a huge smile on my face that people really do appreciate each other's works around here and no site I have ever been on has made me feel this way.

So thanks to everyone :hug:

Katie

Just a quick stop to congratulate with all the winners about their achievements.

:love:

Congrats to all the winners and nominees!!! :hug:
I'm glad we're all able to participate in something like this to show support for each other and to build confidence in writing.

The banner making is in progress and I will be posting them this weekend!

It took me a little while to get here, but I want to congratulate all the nominees and winners, on such a fantastic and diverse selection of stories. And thank you so much for my own award, it really means a lot that people were touched by my sad, disturbing little fic!

*hugs to all*

Jaime
