I-- uh... I lost count. Anyways, I agree!


Ame'n.

Amen

His will be done...

I'd like to thank Justin (aka Philip) for the maturity he is showing, and the encouraging posts he's been leaving. Way to go.

Plus I'd like to thank everybody! You're all just pulling close together. Praise God for that.

Yes, Praise God. It has been amazing to see everyone pulling together.

I'd like to thank everyone, who has been my encouragement. I haven't written in weeks, and, ya'll have been there and kept my chin up. Thank you...

You are very welcome!

I'd like to thank The Council, for staying valiant through all of this, and for being strong leaders.

I heartily second this too!

Third!

Fourthified!

I also would like to thank the Council--I honestly don't know what I would have done without you all, especially Brendan and Katie.

You all have been wonderful... your prayers, your unwavering trust in Jay, your loyalty to God and this forum, your love for me, your devotion to God, your hard work, your bravery during this hard time... I am so grateful God brought you all together for just such a time as this.

Hear hear, thankyou to all of you.

I'd like to thank all of my brothers in Christ on HW. Thank you for being gentlemen, both on the forum and in chat. Y'all include (but aren't limited to): Brendan, Seer, Reiyen, Varon, Arien, Andrew, Caleb, Mark, Joel, and Jonathan.

Thank you, Elly. I'm honored that you feel that way.

On that note: I'd like to thank all of my sisters in Christ on HW. Thanks for being a huge encouragement to me, both in writing and life. For being a friend, for being resolute pokers, and, of course, for putting up with all of me.
(P.S. The lack of a list is intentional. I'd probably go over a word limit or something. You know who you all are. )

You're welcome.

On a less serious note, I'd like to thank Calista, Ladies Adalia and Elanor, and RunningWolf for building a 5-level quote ziggurat in Viarri's blueship thread. Nice to see one of those once in a blue moon

Pfft. What's to put up with? Aside from the flooring side effects of your knockout awesomeness?

*agrees with Bush*

You are an incredible blessing, Elanor. Thank you.

Thank you. *Hugs Airi* You're a great blessing and encourager to me, Airi.

That's the first time in a long while that somebody's referred to me by my real name.

*wonders how long the list would be...*

(It seems that that 'knockout awesomeness' tends to backfire most of the time. )

It would be a long list, yes, to try and write down all the ways you're awesome.

That is not what I had in mind and you know it.

*opens Twinnie's mind, pulls out list he had in there, pulls out lighter, and promptly burns list*

You're so violent, Busheh...

Thank you Nemo, for making me laugh over your characterizations. This is not the first time you have compared some of us to fictional characters, and every time you do compare me to someone, I find your observations fun and day making.

Awww. Thanks. It's fun characterizing you guys. I'm the type of person who loves making connections to multiple things, especially when the fit so well. And in this case, it fit perfectly.

*huggles Airi* I'd like to thank you for being such an awesome "big sister," and for being there whenever we need you.

I am happy to do and be so.

*begins to protest, but gets distracted by shiney lighter, forgets what he was doing, and then revels in the fact that something is being burned*

You has a liking to fireses?

Aye, my Twinnie and I be two pyromaniacs of a kind.

I'd like to thank Lycanis Mimetes (aka RunningWolf) for his eager contributions to threads.

Me too! Thank you Lycanis Mimetes!

Thank you so much, Andrew, for all the fixes you've been doing in Tech Support!

I'd like to thank Wolf for commenting on the threads in my sub-forum to help me develop my world!

Hear hear! I was coming in here to do just that. Thankyou, Andrew!

I would like to thank Cephron for his help developing the cone-sunned Earths! (I have not forgotten, bye the way.)

I'd like to thank Ophelia, my encouraging sister in Christ. Za, you always know what to say when I'm feeling rotten. Thank you so much for caring about me! *Wipes eyes* You are a huge blessing to me.

*Hugs sister* I'd like to thank Milly, my dear sister in Christ. Calista, you somehow take my ramblings and are cheered up by them, even when I don't think I do a good job. I care for you because you are my friend, and a special one at that. You are also a huge blessing to me too.

~ZA

I'd like to thank Raven of the Wood/Raven Chana Mimetes. You're doing a wonderful job with the Weekly Challenge. Thank you for doing that, and thank you for helping out with the HW newsletter. In the seemingly small ways you help out, you're assisting in a big way. So thank you.

Aemi Kurisuchan, thank you so much for all the character threads you've been posting! They're very helpful.

I second this!

I'd like to thank Jon and Grace, for encouraging me whilst we were chatting on Skype. You guys are such good friends.

I'm glad we could. Thank you for being a good friend.

I'm so glad that we could. I enjoyed that time too. You are a very good friend. *hugs*

I'd like to thank Eleutheria, Airianna, and imnotthatshort for being so encouraging about my writing. It's easy for me to get downcast and feel like it's not good enough, but you guys are awesome and inspire me to keep going, and I really really appreciate that. Thank you so much for that encouragement.

And also, I'd like to thank the Council Members for standing forward like mama bears when the news came out about Jay. You guys weren't going to take any trash off anyone, and if any discontent person said anything, y'all would've verbally tackled them (in a display of maturity and politeness). In other words, your loyalty and faithfulness is amazing and inspiring, and I'd like to thank you guys for that example.

Amen!

I'd like to thank Elly, Joel, Alina, Cammie, Andrew, Mark, Za, Brendan, Eva, Zoe, Matt, Arien, Artemis, Milly, and Nessie for being awesome honorary little siblings, and putting up with their silly, bossy big sister, and making her feel so special.
