I wanted to thank Erin and everyone who works to keep this site running for the new Random 5olos feature. Like several of us, I arrived here this year, well after this site was established and offering such great fiction. I felt a little overwhelmed at trying to catch up, given all the great writers who were here, some already with huge volumes of stories.

This feature has been so exciting. Just look at the commentary...some from a few days ago about a great fantasy or a sad lament or a fun parody written months or even years ago. I have found some really wonderful tales that I might otherwise have missed, and in sampling these, I've been able to connect with other stories by those same authors. It's really a great way to get to know everyone here. Thanks!
