So yesterday I took a look and my story, "Ithycca: Chapter 1," had reached 1000 readers. It's kind of a big moment to me. I'm so happy people are reading and commenting on my stories and appreciating what I do.

I've not been a member long- nearly two months. So to become a beloved and respected member here is really a blessing. I wanted to give out my thank yous. And, just ahead of time, if I don't personally name you, that doesn't mean I appreciate you any less!

-You seem to be very interested in my stories. Being a major writer on this site, I always felt like I was the student and you were the teacher, and any time you gave me praise was awesome! From reading your stories I myself got a lot of inspiration from you. The biggest thing was even though a story can be a drama, that doesn't mean you can't have a little humor in it as well. Got to keep it interesting, too much of one thing makes it kind of monotonous!

Laika

-Thanks for being really interested in Ithycca! I'm glad I'm not the only one who's interested in Mermaids and the like. Makes you kind of like a sister to me. Oh, and if I've ever bugged you too much, that's just me being all evil sisterly like!

Saless

-Thanks for giving me the opportunity to write in your Wyld universe! I'm happy you were willing to give me a lot of free-reign in sculpting your world. I know a lot of other authors would micromanage a lot of ideas that I make. I hope that we can get some more authors to write in your universe real soon!

Extravagance

-My Little Prawnie! Yay! I love your happy go lucky super hyperactive behavior! Makes my writing all the more worthwhile! *Snuggles*

Beyogi
-Thanks for being so honest with my writing. A lot of people would rather not criticize anything I do, as a courtesy or whatnot, but I appreciate constructive criticism, and a lot of things you point out helps me, and I fix any plot holes and clear any confusion. It makes my stories better!

Dorothy Colleen
-I think you comment more on my stories than anyone else. Always something witty or funny. You just seem to always be looking forward to the next chapter. And I can't let readers like you down!

Stanman
-Thanks, for many other things than being a fantastic reader. I don't know how transgenders lives are in their parts of the world, but in Ohio, it's hard to find people who actually care or support us, particularly from males. So you, and many other men on this site gives me hope that many more people can accept me and other transgenders as time rolls on.

Dustin Carter
-Thanks for liking Ithycca so much that you stole my ideas! ...Just Kidding!
I know we're gonna be picking on each other for a long time! Heh.

Poetheather
-I'm still your #1 fan! Still working hard, I hope that one day I'll make stories just as awesome as yours!

Drea DiMaggio
-Thanks for inviting me to the 1st annual BG get together! lol

And thanks to those I forgot or didn't mention!
