Okay so I know that I am waaay late in posting a comment here. I've finally given myself time to go through each thread page by page. I'm still not done damn it! We kittens have a lot to say!
Sara (tazraven) wow! I know it was a few years ago, but CONGRATULATIONS! How wonderful for you. It is always nice to hear someone else share their excitement about something like this. Especially knowing that you were chosen out of many people. I bet you I can fully understand how you were feeling at that moment.
I entered my story in the charity/contest that Amber Benson had not so long ago called "Runt" To The Rescue. Well for some crazy reason Amber chose my story and posted it on her blog on Valentines Day. How cool is that? What makes this even better...I went to her book signing earlier this month. I will never forget the expression on her face when I revealed to her who I was. PRICELESS!
