OH WOW! I had to go back to work (teaching...school started) and things have been so hectic, tonight is the first night I have been able to be back on FanStory for several days, and I find THIS! Oh Rachelle! Tears are falling down my face. What an honor! I think you are a wonderful writer and such a wonderful new writing friend, and that you chose me to honor is so precious and meaningful to me! I am so sorry I didn't see this until now. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

    It's fine! I knew you must be away (I was hoping on some Tahitian retreat, but, well, back to school is practically the same thing, right?!) I love our burgeoning friendship, so it was my pleasure to include you and your talents among my Who's Who!! xo

A wonderful puzzle to solve. You didn't give away too much and I could only pinpoint Helen as the first one. Good luck in the vote! Sending you my best today as always

    Nope, Sal; Helen's IN there, but she's not the first one!!! Thanks for the terrific review, though. You are always such an encourager. xo

Your poem is so well-constructed, flows like silken ribbons in a dance competition, and describes some very nice people. I look forward to seeing who they are. Your meter and rhymes are delightful. MM

    Wow! That is most fabulous simile I have ever received! Thank you for the ultimate compliment to a music and dance teacher! xo

    Thank you, as well, for the additional star.

This ode poem was beautifully written. I thought I recognized one by your description. I thought the poem rhymed well with a distinct rhythm. Best wishes in this contest. Great job!

Wow, nice one. I have entered my own rendition and you are making me worried. Whatever results, the event has been a kick.

I am relatively new to FS so I don't really know as many Fanstorians as some of the other entries do, including yours, but I can and will still give it a go. With a little research, probably a lot, I could most likely get your second verse author (birthdays a day apart) but my Gawd, how long would that take.

Any way, it's a really nice verse without even considering the contest. I wish you the best of luck.

    The same to you, Gary! I agree with you that it was SUCH a fun idea. I have read yours and thought it was terrific. It's always a friendly competition anyway; that's what I enjoy about this site.

I think I can guess who this is, and I think you're right, I think she's a writer's writer. I've been on this site for eleven years now, and I've seen many come and go, some have died, and very popular ones too, this is a beautiful tribute to the one you're describing. Well done, beautifully written, blessings Roy

    Roy, pursuant to contest rules, each stanza is a different Fanstorian.

    Thank you for your nice review all the same.

    That?s what I thought, so sorry I was mistaken.

Hi Rachelle, I loved this entry for the contes. It's anyone's guess who you're referring to, but at one point you say he, so that should narrow it down. Good luck. Ulla :)))

    There a different Fanstoran featured in every stanza. Once all the votes are counted, I'm allowed to divulge who they all are. So stay tuned!

    Oh, I will.

Rachelle, I love your poem. It is very well written. I do assume or hope the people you write about have the opportunity to know you were writing about them. Good Job. Terry.
