Congratulations on winning this contest and I can see why! Mrs. KT's work is awesome - I particularly enjoyed her Christmas stories. I also really like your commentary on blind contests. I'm completely in support of you on this.

kI appreciate these words more than you know. The "blind" contests leave me skeptical more times than not, but Mrs. KT is as honest as can be regarding them, and I respect that. Thanks for this review. xo
Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
Why am I missing these lovely posts? (I suppose another blind contest. I wish I'd been more observant of the contests,). I agree 100% with your choice, Elle. And well done to you for such a great tribute! It's clear, concise and sincerely expressed (with just a little 's' missing in your 'system' :)) Well done on your contest win! Love and best wishes Deb xos

I know; I miss too many of yours, as well. But at least we are fine examples of not cheating!! Despite our daily chats, we don't tell each other when our works are up for voting, and I think that makes us awesome. xoxo
Comment from GregoryCody
Her words were musical notes. What?!! I LOVE that. Speaking of flowing seamlessly, your flow is perfect. Makes it enjoyable to read. Like your phrasing and choice of wording, bounces the reader along with the story. Great work!!

I really appreciate that, Greg. Thank you very much. xo
Comment from Wendy G
Very true words. I see many who devise ingenious ways of self-revealing in blind contests, quite inappropriately. As you say her poetry is always superbly crafted so I am glad you nominated her. Best wishes for the contest.

Thank you for saying that, Wendy. It just slays me that these 'revealers' think of themselves as so clever that the rest of us will never possibly see what they're doing. Their pedestrian creativity isn't relegated solely to their posts, it seems.
Anyway, thank you for appreciating Mrs. KT's worth, as I do. I appreciate the validation from someone who's none-too-shabby in the poetry area, herself.

You also had my vote, because you spoke of her integrity, and integrity is important to me, and although many of the other entries were fine entries, you were the only one to mention that quality.

Same. That's very encouraging to read. Thank you.

Thanks, Wendyanne; I appreciate this very much and know she will, too, when she gets to read these reviews. To know her is to respect and admire her.
Comment from Mrs. KT
Hello, Mystery Writer,
Oh my goodness!
I was notified by a member of FanStory that I should check out the "Secret Admirer" Contest because someone had submitted a tribute to me.
So I did.
And here I am.
And I must share with you that I am very honored and humbled that someone would write of their admiration for me and my writing and my integrity...
"Gobsmacked" is a better way to express my appreciation.
Thank you again, "Secret Admirer;" you've made an incredibly cold and dreary November day beautiful...
Will cherish your tribute always...
Thank you!

It was my honor to do so. You deserve to be admired.

I'm not certain many share your perspective, but I truly thank you...

Well, we all know the world is full of stupid people...so why would our writing site be exempt?! Once our identities are revealed, though, and you can read the reviews I received, you'll see that lots of people DO share my perspective! The Silent Majority is here supporting you. Ignore those ignorant, squeaky wheels full of sour grapes for the talent you possess and they do not.
Comment from Terry Broxson
First, is this in a contest? Looks like it should be. I agree with you. She is a terrific poet. I do enjoy her work. She is smart and creative with her words. I try to give her an idea every now and then, but I fall woefully short...kind of like giving you an idea...but I still working on it. Excellent! Terry.

It's the "Secret Admirer" contest. You should definitely enter!! You know a lot of people, so probably the hardest part for you would be choosing only ONE!
I know what you're saying about "making suggestions" for the uber-gifted. When I ever do that myself --and it is SOOO very rare that I do, and for the exact reason you cited-- I always add, "I'm reticent to say anything here, because I feel like a pre-schooler saying to Monet, "Um, don't you think that brush stroke there could use a little more yellow?" It also allows them to laugh with me and at me and not feel so annoyed.

Sorry, but I'm not familiar with Mrs. KT, but she sounds like a highly disciplined and talented person. Today, it is hard to find people who take the high ground.
Thank you for writing about such a Fanstorian.

I bet you'd like her work; it's beautiful. Check out her portfolio! And thank you for this very nice review. Very much appreciated.

I tried to locate someone Mrs. KT by that name without much luck.

Above the Fanstory logo, there are six categories, starting with a little "gear" icon on the far left. Two over from that is "Community." Click that, and you will see a drop-down list that includes "Find A Member." Click that, and the alphabet appears. Click "M," and all the members whose names begin with "M" appear. Far down the list, between "Mrs. Kristie Grogan" and "Ms Chevious" is "Mrs. KT." Voila! I hope that helps, but if it doesn't, please let me know. I'm nothing in this world if not tenacious!!! xoxo

Thank you, thank you. I found her and will certainly read more of her work. Getting a more qualified writer than one who has taught the craft for 38 years takes a lot of work.
Your instructions for finding her were so detailed that I wish every appliance manufacturer could have you write their manuals.
I so appreciate the time you took to help me out. Yours is a blind entry, so I can't nominate you for helpfulness--wish I could.

You are so right!! Thanks for going the extra mile here. I appreciate that. xo

I have to agree with all you have said about Mrs. K.T. She is a very special lady that is so talented and just a really nice person. You used great descriptive words that are so true about her. Thank you for sharing and best wishes in the Secret Admirer contest. Teri

She's definitely a standout. Thanks for the nice review, Teri7.
Comment from jmdg1954
I cannot agree with you more! Both parts hold her in high esteem. Her poetry is flawless. Though I have difficulty grasping the meanings many times in poems ( not just hers, most poets).
The point on following the rules... absolutely corrects.
Great entry. Good luck in the contest! I'm sure Mrs. KT is smiling.
