Hey Sean, I saw your interview where you specifically said you did this, and you did!
Re-read your story the other day. Forgot how artistically written it is. Most excellent.
Thanks for the very kind words, Dustin!

Haha. I know. It's ridiculous. I couldn't find a quick way to get smaller images.

By the way, I really enjoyed your story. Vol. 33 was the first I read (it was the most recent one one ebay that was cheap) and your story was at first the only one what really spoke to me. In fact, I sort of copied my third submission after your story (not intentionally, obviously), although that didn't work out too well for me.

I haven't turned in my Q4 story yet. I do have an idea of what story I will write for Q1 and I'm starting to work on that. I tend to stick with fantasy. I enjoy reading it and it's fairly easier for me to research and write than Sci-Fi.

Is this just like a catch-all thread?
I saw on pg 48 something about speeches there and was rewatching some of the parts from this year's gala and it got me thinking-- anyone here have a favorite speech from this year or years past?
I really loved everything that Storm said and Brittany's just felt so warm, genuine, and brimming with gratitude I nearly wept watching it.
Did I do this right in this infamous thread? I didn't break anything, did I?

This is the thread that never ends.
It just goes on and on, my friends.
Some people started posting here, not knowing what it was;
And they’ll continue posting here forever just because

I'd argue Martin had it right a few posts back.

After Martin's stirring story regarding this thread's origin it hits me... whatever happened to the jibber jabber threads for each quarter?
[Has a peak around Vol 29 Q1's blanket fort]
[the blanket fort has become a massive castle]
[there is a moat around it and a drawbridge]
[wow! the snacks have been replenished]
[there are literally tables and tables loaded down with a king's feast]
[notes that there are endless corridors filled with rooms]
[rooms with beds, rooms with desks and libraries]
[rooms for all sorts of fun and work]
[is that an exercise room and a pool?]
[no wonder this thread is maintained]
[may it go on and on]

Somehow I lost my Guthington profile, but it's me. Amy Wethington = Guthington = Physa
[Peeks into v29 q1 pillow fort as well, and wonders if we should mover v39 q2 fort to it.]
