Nessa, you are awesome because you're always making my day. *huggles*

Aww! Thanks Manda! you too! <3

Well said! *hugs Ana*

*humbly gives Aussie cupcake* Thank you so much for this, dear! You are as amazing a friend as you are a writer/designer/musician, and you encourage me by the things you say to me and cheer me by the things you say to others.

*might I just explode with delight for a second? Holy Worlds is the best group of encouraging Christ-following super-intelligent and incredibly creative writers in the history of the entire earth!!!! And that goes for everyone. Period.*

Phili ~
1. You have the most welcoming avatar on the whole forum, definitely. I'm encouraged whenever I look at you handing me your cupcake!
2. Speaking of cupcakes... you bake the best virtual cupcakes ever
3. I love being your buddy on Intros! Your whole personality is extremely welcoming (when I first found you were the mod of intros, it made perfect sense). Your presence is invaluable to any newbie!
4. Your creative determination and skill!! {How could we forget that? We are on a creative writing forum, after all!} To expand, that encompasses both your onging determination to write, whether like mad or like sanity, as well as your creativity and imagination and talent.
5. Your always-evident love of the Lord, which shines through whether in breaking up semi-argumentative-discussions on intros, or in encouragements around the forum, or your whole personality in every post.

*will continue the list later*

Speaking of someone who knows someone well...


That list is a good start.

Editors, you are so awesome because;

1: You never miss a single thing, hardly,
2: You always help with grammar and such,
3: You are always nice and kind and polite when fixing everything.

Oh, Evenstar! I can't tell you how much that meant to me. It spoke where I needed it in ways you won't know, based on some things I've been working through lately. You've been amazing since the minute you joined HW; it's hard to imagine the forum, especially intros, without your horsie-star self!

Thanks, Jonathan.

That was great, Michael! I agree!

Steelie, for that delightful burst of editorial praise, you definitely deserve your own awesome section . So, dear sir, Y-O-U are awesome for the following reasons:

1. Your amazing knack for writing funny songs/poems that actually rhyme! That's no bag of peanuts, you know.

2. Your walrusi band and pickles. Who else but our dear Steelie?

3. You have the imagination of about 33.45 whales. I mean, really now folks, we all know Steelie is the most inventive, creative idea-monster for at least several virtual miles!

4. You are not just fun and games - you know exactly how and when to be serious and give some much-needed encouragement to people. I really appreciate this discernment, Steelie.

5. You're up there in the top three in the most welcoming HW-ers category, for suresies! It's immediately obvious that you take a lot of care and effort to welcoming newbies, and helping them get settled into HW by means of stunning them with walrus serenades.

6. You definitely get credit for a pretty sweet name.

7. And most of all, I love that you are so full of Christ. Your humble attitude, your kindness and care for us {demonstrated by your wholehearted participation in any thread that offers encouragement and thanks - such as this one}...every post you write shows that you value us as brothers and sisters in Christ.

Thank you so much, Steelie.
