Have I really been here a year?

Apparently so.

During that time I've commented on oodles of stories, written 13 short tales and have a fourteenth under construction (plus an abandoned story which I might upload somewhere so others can hijack), and somehow came up with the daft idea of producing background resources for this site's very own soap opera... (not to mention persuading a certain Kiwi to help out!)

Just as I'm currently writing (slowly, as/when inspiration for a scene hits and I'm feeling fresh enough to attempt scribbling it down - I'm dead envious of all you real writers!) the next installment of Petra, I've also got ideas on an epilogue for The Genie, which would establish the two characters in their new life and show the genie using subtle magic to aid students and reduce discrimination. If/when I can get that done, it should provide a basis for anyone else to write vignettes.

Now, what else have I done here over the past year? Oh yes, discovered just how amazingly friendly and supportive we all are - and not just to other TGs. I've enjoyed several random PM conversations with various members, and have enjoyed reading your comments on my inane blogs - yes, I know I don't write random, incomprehensible gibberish but it's a fun phrase to say :)

Oh, and talking of my 13 tales (I'm not superstitious, unlike most UK housing developers, who seem to omit the number from streets - apparently number 13 doesn't sell as well as any other number - sheesh!), they've generated 19,805 views and 123 comments to date - with the most popular being The Genie. Just in case anyone else has a statistics fetish...

Statistically speaking?

... there's a 99.87426% certainty that you are one of my all time favorite people! (the other .12574 can be attributed to a statistical anomaly.) Congratulations on your Anniversary.

She was born for all the wrong reasons but grew up for all the right ones.
Con grande amore e di affetto, Andrea Lena

Hey Ben,

I must say your impact is far in excess of your duration here and I mean that in the MOST positive sense.

with love,

Hope

Once in a while I bare my soul, more often my soles bear me.

Happy Birthday to you...

I know it's not really a birthday, but before you poked your nose in here we didn't know you, so it is a birthday in some respects... um - maybe I should have let Bonzi write this one?

Thanks for your support with the Bike archive/plot summaries, occasionally even I know what's going on.

Hugs,

Angharad
