A big Thank You

[dreamflower]

I have gathered that this is Fanfiction Author Appreciation Week.

There are so many good authors that I would not even begin to know how to pick out the ones I would want to thank personally. But there is one person, who seldom even writes fic any more, whom I would like to thank.

Every month, there is a day when I know I can look forward to my fill of excellent hobbity stories. It is one of the highlights of my month. I can go to one spot, and find a goodly number of brand new stories, some by established writers, and others for whom it is their first fic, or maybe their first hobbit fic. I spend most of that Friday checking off and on to see if it has been posted.

I am talking of course, about Marigold's Challenge. Our marigoldg works very hard every month to bring us these stories; she challenges us as authors to come up with new scenarios; she provides plot bunnies; she even betas when she has to. And she has provided us as readers with a seemingly endless supply of wonderful stories.

I've been lucky enough to meet her in person, and have fun with her in person. She is very special.

So Thank You, marigoldg

seeing as how were on the topic, I want to thank ALL of the hobbity authours! i enjoy all of your stories so much! (the G rated ones especially ;) ) Seeing as how i dont have the talent like you guys to write my own stories, i wouldnt know what to do without all of you! you dont know how much time i spend reading all of your guys' wonderful hobbitfull fics :D

so even if you're going, "longcleeve? who's longcleeve?" I have probably read one or ALL of your hobbity stories ;)

and, of course, thank you marigoldg for spawning so many of these! :D
