I'd like to thank Aubrey for being an awesome friend and big sister, for caring about me and listening to me and talking with me and giving me advice and counsel and looking at my writing for me. *big breath* And for being my PM buddy. Thank you very much Aubrey for reaching out to me from when I was a newbie on the forums!

I'd like to thank Airi for her presence on the forums, and great, concise, wisdom-filled posts. For being nice to me despite seeming so scary to me ( ), for letting me do a podcast with her despite my lack of...podcastful awesomeness, for...just being awesome and a good example.

I'd like to thank Lord Tarin/Zac for adopting me and being my big bro, and for posting awesomeness all over the place. Miss you bro, hope you return soon.

I want to thank Cephron, for all his help when he was here shortly after I came on. For helping me with my worldbuilding ideas and such, and for being a great friend. I hope you come back when you're able, Ceph.

I'd like to thank Roager for being awesome, funny, helpful, friendly, and fun to talk with.

I'd like to thank Silver for being my little sis, caring for me, and making me tell her what's up and being so encouraging and kind.

I'd like to thank Rosie for being my writing buddy even though she's busy recently, and talking with me. And, especially early on in my HWness, being such a good help cultivating my drive to write, encouraging me, listening when I need to talk, talking with me, and getting me into word warring ( ). You're such a great friend, Rose. God bless you and lead you in all this busyness.

Amen. I don't know what I'd do without you, Twinnie.

I'd like to thank Cephron for the quality posts he would write and for making me look forward to the next Cephron post. Miss you, Cephron.

Thank you for everything too, Grace.

*gives a real, very fond smile* You two are such sweet little brothers, and I'm allowed to say that as a big sister. Truly, you both light up my day. I know I am often busy, but never too busy to hear you when you need me; please remember that. If ever you need me for anything, I will do my utmost to help.

When you randomly chat me, and I'm called away in a hurry, honestly, the fact you thought of me to open a chat and speak to me really means a lot, even if I don't get a chance to say so. You are both such bright spots in my life whenever I see you pop up. Your infectious joy, ready grins, caring natures, encouraging spirits, and cheeky humour are highly valued to me. Thankyou both, so much, for dropping in on your busy big sister so much lately. It means more than you know. God's richest blessings on you both, my friends.

*Day is made*

Wolf, thank you for enduring through my practical take on things *hands you a handkerchief* ;-) , chatting theology stuffs with me - *Thinks* (For a lot of the things you listed thanking me, I can thank you back. ) Thank you for being a good friend, Jeremiah, and for always being an encouragement. *Needs to remember to talk with you about plotting for April Fools day* And hahahah, I didn't even realize what you said was text until I clicked "quote". It's so small! O.O


I'd like to thank Shawn, for chatting with me recently, and adding me to Skype. You're someone I've always felt I would "click" with, just never got the chance too talk with much. I'm looking forward to getting to know you better.

I'd like to thank my HWer little sisters Cammie, Maye, Riah, Milly, and Misty for making me feel like an appreciated big sis, especially in this last month. *Smiles* It means a whole lot to me, girls.

*smiles* I'm very glad...knowing that makes it easier to pounce on you whenever I see your name with a green icon next to it. Really, I'm very glad to know this. Thank you again for being my big sister. =D

*very very glad it had that effect*

*smiles* It's good to have another perspective, even (in some cases, especially) if it clashes with my own...even if in the end it doesn't make much sense to me. ;-) *eats handkerchief*

(I find that is often the case...and I'm glad when it is *grins*)

I'm glad I've been able to be a good friend and an encouragement. *smiles*

: rofl:

*smiles* Thank you, Twinnie. The same goes for you too, you know. Send me an email and I'll be there ASAP.

*hugs* Love you, big sis.

Awww. *hugs Za* I've felt the same way, and I'm glad to get a chance to chat with you! Thanks for letting me pounce upon you, and start getting to know you better.

I'm planning to come in here with a Very Big Post soon... I have lots of people to thank.

I'd like to thank BushMaid for being such a good friend.

What an unexpected blessing it was to find this. Thankyou for being such a good friend too, Jonathan. You're a blessing. Ps. 91:14-16.

I'd like to thank Donn Quioxte for being there for me this evening.

How did I not know this existed?!?! I apologize in advance if I forget anyone...

Thanks to my sisters Jessie Quill, Camerie Tikva Mimetes, Renna the Gray Mimetes, Calista Beth Mimetes, Donn Quixote, and my brothers Sir Apeslugger and Lord Tarin.

Also, I want to thank everyone involved in running this site, and all of the HWers who've been really nice to me - NotThatShort Mimetes, BushMaid, Lady Nicole, Lady Rwebhu, Vivace Kondrael, Manda Noordzook, Black Hawk, um...*taps foot*

Oh, yeah! And of course, Mimetes the Seer who designed my first book cover.

I'll post again if I remember more!!! I know I'm missing people - I'm so sorry! Oh, Lycanis, Roager, kingjon (Though I haven't seen him in a while)

Glad I've been able to interact with you here, Balec. Hopefully I'll be able to see you more often, if I ever get around on here and in chat more often.

I'm glad. Thank you for the verses.

Aw, you're welcome, Giraffe. Thanks for being so much fun to hang out with in chat.

Thanks both of you! I've enjoyed chatting with you two as well.

Here comes at least a part of my monster post...

I'd like to thank Grace, for being a good friend, and for her enthusiasm about False Gods.

I'd like to thank 'Manda, for being a fun person to be around and being... 'Manda. And for her attentiveness towards The Girl on the Swing. Something that Alastar also appreciates.

And I'd like to thank Jeremiah, for his willingness to brainstorm ideas with me, hold me accountable, be encouraging, and show me awesome writing.

*is quite happified*

I'd like to thank Prof for being sweet and fun to talk to and putting up with my story-sharing (*cough*story-dumping*cough*). And for being all-around awesome.

I'd like to thank my Orthodox Ninja Horse for being an awesome editor/critique partner and someone I can trust to ramble on and on when I need a distraction. XD

I'd like to thank Nicoley-oley- for putting up with her bossy "big sister" and for being so sweet, kind and gentle with everyone she meets.

I'd like to thank Penguduck for always being there for me and being the big brother I never had, and a better one than I could ever ask for.

I'd like to thank Graciela for listening, praying, and being my friend, especially since we clashed in the beginning.

I'd like to thank Rachelbrey for letting me help with her books. It's so much fun working with her. =D

(Wow, I didn't think this impromptu post would get so long. )

I'd like to thank Sadie for being sweet and fun and AWESOME and anglophilic. ^-^ Even though she's never on HW.

I probably forgot a lot of people who deserve thanking, so... I'd like to thank EVERYONE (yes, YOU!!!) for being AWESOME!!!! I love you guys!!!

Awws! *hugs tight* Thankyou Shawnie. You yourself are the sunshiney one! You make my day whenever you chat me; I love our awesome conversations, whether or not we're discussing something serious or drooling over Loki *coughcoughcough* you're a blessing. We could NOT have a HW without Shawnie! You've been like... a pillar of HW ever since I joined! Plus, you can't ever leave, because if sHaWnie leaves she takes HW with her.

Thank you, too. I hope we can have another one soon.

Aww. I love chatting with you. I'm very glad I've been able to be your friend. =D Thank you for being an awesome friend too, and a good person to think with. =D





*loves doing those things with/for Red* You're welcome, Alex. =D and thank you for those things too (and for encouraging me about my writing like you did yesterday), I think our accountability emails will be a Very Good Thing for us both.

I would like to thank everybody who deals with the long, long waits for any posts by me.

I would also like to thank Jonathan Garner for being a patient and constant friend. I am glad Jay "introduced" you to me.

Aww. =) :blush: (*coughs* It's hardly story-dumping; I beg you for excerpts. ;))


*pinks and hugs Bushy* Thank you. =) :blush:


Thanks, Wolf. =) :D

Awww. You're awesome, dear. And. Ciiirrrccclllesss..... Thank you for introducing me into SC.

Awww, thank you, Shorty.

Thank you for the same. (And I think, with how long some of my e-mails take, that you are the patient one. )

You ish welcome. Thank you for those same sorts of things, and the chat we had last night.



Yes, and Brendan too. I know you all do a lot for us, thank you.

I'd like to thank each of my siblings individually, because honestly, I think it feels a little awkward just to put a list of names. Though I'd like to thank all of my siblings for two things--thank you for putting up with me; I know I can be annoying sometimes, or not much fun to talk to. And thank you all for always being there for me when no one else would.

Jeremiah/BigBrotherWolf - Thank you for always encouraging me to do something I'm nervous about. When there's something I'm not sure I can do, you almost always contradict me, telling me that I can do it, and I should. You make me feel more sure of myself and of my skills.

Blackie - Thank you for all of the support, encouragement, and reassurances you give me. You always seem to know when I'm feeling down, and give me the option of confiding in you or simply staying silent. I truly consider you my brother--it's gotten to the point where, when my family asks me who I'm talking to, I nearly say, "My brother, Robert".

Elizabeth/NotThatShort - Thank you for being such a kind, sympathetic person. I know I can turn to you whenever I need to, and you'll tell me what I need to hear to keep fighting. Sometimes, you tell me things I don't want to hear (about my having to eat dinner, for example), but you know they're for my own good. Even if you're feeling low yourself, you'll always take the time to give others a hand.

Roager - Thank you for all the fun and the laughter. You never fail to make me crack a grin when I think my facial expression will get stuck in a frown. You're friendly, optimistic, and always a joy to talk to. And when I'm grounded, you make sure to keep me in line.

Elly - Thank you for always wanting to talk to me, no matter what. We've had many a crazy conversation about various things, ranging from actors, to singers, to... other things. You can always find something to start a conversation about, and if I don't feel like talking, you cheer me up with pictures of singers or Viggo Mortensen.

Camerie - Thank you for the gentle reassurances you give me when I confide my troubles to you. You're my twin, and you are a lot of fun to talk to. I only wish I could talk to you more than I do.

Tarin - Thank you for being so thoughtful. You always seem genuinely interested in getting to know me and what I like to do. You can switch from a serious discussion to a lighthearted conversation in a heartbeat, depending on what someone wants to talk about at that specific time.

Sir Apeslugger - Thank you for being willing to listen, and for all of the encouraging, uplifting videos you've sent me in the past. When we first met and had hardly known each other for longer than a day and a half, you made sure I knew that I could always turn to you to talk. And that means a lot, having someone I had only just met care so much.

BushMaid - Thank you for always taking the time to help me out with stuff, or give advice. You have an uncanny ability to know exactly how I'm feeling, and an equally astonishing ability to know exactly what to say to make me feel better.

Balec - Thank you for being an awesome little brother, and--at many times in the past few months--taking the place of the little brother I live with. You encouraged me to start a thread about obsessions, and you don't mind when I go off on girly tangents in chat either. Not many li'l bros would put up with that.

MadeFree - Thank you for always being there to listen, and for giving me encouragement and advice whenever I need it. It seems like whenever I talk to you, I come away enlightened about either myself or the world in general.

Astronomer/Hombre De Paz - Thank you for always being willing to help me with my writing, and for being patient all the times you had to listen to me ramble. We don't talk too much anymore (I blame it on time zones and the holidays), but I'm always thinking of you.

You're welcome - and thanks for being an awesome older sister!

You are never annoying.


*laughs* You're welcome! I am glad you take the time to talk to me, and I'm glad we've taken the time to get to know each other better. I hope I can continue to cheer you up!

*cough* That's debatable...

Today I'd like to thank the Lord, for teaching me not to worry so much about the small things in life, but to trust in Him in all things. All things work together for good to them that love God.

You're very welcome, Teddy dear.
And I know I'm bossy. It's because I wish so badly that I could actually be there to take care of my siblings. You all need to move to VA!
Anyway, you're a great little sister and I love you very much. *hugs*

*smiles and hugs tightly* I'm so glad that I can make you feel better when I talk to you, JJ. Sometimes I don't feel like I help people when I try to encourage them, so I'm glad I can help you some way, lovely. You're such a sweety, I'm so glad you joined here.

Aww. Thank you, Marketh. I'm so glad I've got to chat more with you lately. You've been very encouraging and cheering to me.


*smiles* Thank you, little brother. It's my pleasure, truly. Don't forget: You're a good friend.


Aww, thanks Red! It's definitely worth being enthusiastic about it. I just wish your internet was more consistent so we could talk more!


*smiles* I'm glad to do those things. And I, too, am glad we were able to stop clashing. *hugs*

I hope I haven't forgotten to reply to anyone... you've all been so kind. It's a blessing to me to see all the love and thoughtfulness on this thread!

I'd like to thank all of my siblings, too.

Idril, I'd like to thank you for being a good older sister. Over the past couple of weeks you've listened to me complain about being sick. I can't remember a time when I've heard you complain. You are very thoughtful and caring, and a great listener. Thank you. ^_^

Taisia, I love talking to you! I'd like to thank you for always being lively and positive. ^_^

Calista, I'd like to thank you for your letter. It cheered me up immensely. I was having a hard day and out of the blue my mom said, "Did anybody check the mail today?" I trudged out there and - there was a letter! From you! O.O ^_^

Elanor, I'd like to thank you for being there. You're always bubbly and cheerful. Like the yellow flower in your avatar - Seer chose it well. You work so hard on the forums too, doing a lot of behind-the-scenes work that often nobody notices. Thank you. ^_^

Lycanis, thank you for being thoughtful and sincere. You are a great writer. You're also a good conversationalist! I'd like to thank you for sharing your thoughts, songs you like, and parts of your writing with me. ^_^

Caeli, thank you for being a good older sister. You listen to me, and you make me laugh. =D You're a good writer, too! ^_^

Renna, thank you for being someone who puts up with me. XD And thank you for trusting me with things. I appreciate it. I love our long rambly conversations. (Or... short rambly ones. XD)

Azlyn, thank you for being such a dedicated writer. You're fun to talk to. ^_^ You are a good writer and poet too. I love reading your poetry. ^_^

NB, I'd like to thank you for being a good sister. I liked reading your Doctor Who fanfic, and I love having someone to talk DW with. ^_^

Black Hawk, thank you for being a good brother! You are kind and thoughtful. And a good conversationalist. ^_^ You are always concerned about others and have a lot of empathy, which is a good character trait. ^_^

Cammie, I'd like to thank you for being pretty much a twin to me. I love our long talks, and I love the fact we agree on almost everything! *laughs* ^_^ You're a great writer, too. *pats her copy of Beyond the Walls*

Lt. Mopa, thank you for being a good little brother. Can't wait to see your sub-forum when you get it! I'm sure it will be fantastic! ^_^

Amaris, your name in the chat list always makes me smile! You are my Emergency buddy. It's fun to talk to you because you are always kind and sweet. ^_^

Arien, you are another great brother of mine. You are a great writer. I'd like to thank you for those thoughtful conversations. =D

Bushy, I'd like to thank you for always being positive and outgoing. You are wonderful to talk to and one of my oldest HW friends... oops! Didn't mean it that way! XD But yes, we've known each other for a long time and I am blessed by it. ^_^

Princess of the King/Abby, you were one of my first HW friends. ^_^ Especially considering how you activated my account and all. XD You are a good listener. ^_^

Elizabeth Kirkwood, thank you for being a thoughtful young lady! You are sweet and caring, and it's a joy to talk with you. =)

I am pretty sure I've missed awesome people, so I will come back soon and do more of these. :D

D'awwww, thanks.

*cough* Erm... yes. Short rambly ones...

Aww. *hugs her Elly little sis* I sure miss chatting with you! I watched Emergency just for you, and it's been so fun to talk about it! You are quite sweet.

I'd like to thank all the people in the prayer warrior group and FacelessPhantom!

@ Facelessphantom: thank you for your encouragement and support!

You're welcome, Ren. I'm so glad. =) And...you are not annoying. =)



Yes. =D

I do my best.




*smiles back* Thank you...I suppose if big sisters are always right, I'll have to believe you. *hugs* One of my fears is that I'm not, so that is very good to hear. Thank you. =)



Aw. =D You're welcome, I'm glad to have the privilege of being your friend, and discussing things with you. I can thank you for those same things--thank you for turning the moderaterly PM about my un-linked link into a discussion of musical taste, for talking writing and stuff with me, and for being my little sister.

Awww, thank you, little sister Elly dear! You know that if you need a listening ear, you can just PM me, right? *huggeths*

My pleasure, Elizabeth. It has been two-way though, you know.

Thank you for listening, helping keep me sane during my entire first semester of college, and for being an awesome friend and sister.

You're welcome, Eleutheria. It's a very pretty avatar.

I'm glad you don't mind. It's beautiful!

*chuckles* Likewise. And thank you. =)



Aww, thanks, Elly. *hugs* The same applies to you, with your sunshiney presence.
