Great descriptions of FS writing friends. It's fun to try to guess who they might be. Great rhyme and meter and a nice flow to each of your verses. Thanks for sharing, and best wishes in the contest. Blessings.

Thanks for your always-wonderful reviews. Xo

You're welcome. My pleasure to read your writing. I've been down with Covid, but am finally able to do some reviewing.

Oh noooo! So sorry to read that. Hopefully, it wasn't a severe case. Hope you're totally on the mend now.
Comment from Sandra Nelms-Ludwig
Well-written poem Rachelle. I do not know enough FS people to guess. However, I do think this verse may be me.
Deep and sentient, every word.
With each line, her heart is heard.
Direct and brutal, brave and bold;
With this kind of writing, hard stories are told.
If not, I am that way in my own mind. Good luck in the contest.

Thank you for sharing this writing prompt entry with us. At first, I thought you were talking about one single person and then as I read, I realized you're discussing different people. I enjoyed reading. I have a few ideas of who you're discussing.

Will you let me know, after The Big Reveal, if you were right? I'd love that!
Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
You can tell you're musical, Rachelle, your rhythm is wonderful, you can almost sing the words. Then we have the words in your poem about five different FS friends, they are very clever, and so nice. I'm sure all five will be very humbled and so honoured. You're amazing. I have an idea who three of them are. It will be interesting to find out if I'm right. I wonder how many fanstorians have birthdays a day apart from you!! Lol. This is a brilliant contest entry, and I wish you the very best of luck when the voting begins. Love you lots, my friend. :)) Sandra xxx

I really did have so much fun with this one! Thanks for your kind words, Debi, and the extra star, too! VERY much appreciated.

I just wanted to reassure you that you did everything perfect for your poem. After reading one of your reviews that stated they wouldn't have given so much info, that was not at all how it was meant to be. Half of the fun, was to give enough to tease people and give them something to go on. You did it perfectly!!!

You have written interesting verses for the contest, full of positive characteristics linked to writing capacities. I think I would have tried to eliminate any hint of clues (e.g. sex of the FanStorian). Kate xx

I did at first, but then I found I was using "this writer" or "this Fanstorian" too much, and it sounded clunky. I don't disagree with you, though. There would have been more intrigue without gender!
Comment from Fleedleflump
I think this is a clever idea, leaving us to wonder about who fits which paragraph. There's a glint in the eye to these, injecting a little cheek and fun into proceedings. I very much enjoyed.

Oh, how fun! I just read the contest rules and can't wait to have you reveal your names! I'm definitely going to reserve a spot in this one!
Way to go, Debi, for coming up with the idea and kudos, Rachelle for being the first to post!
Love this!

The second I saw it, I said, "Oh, I am SO all in on this one!" It was great fun to compose! Can't wait to read yours!
Comment from Wendy G
I love this. My imagination isn't up to deciding who is who! Except I think I know who the last one might be! The only thing I wondered is whether your last line could say "so very right" rather than repeat "so". Best wishes for the contest.

Thanks, Wendy. I'm about to do a four-hour drive for a weekend away with my college roommate, so I'll mull that over en route.
Comment from Michele Harber
These are lovely tributes to five fellow FanStorians, who I'm sure will be very flattered. Your rhyme and meter work perfectly. The page layout is a bit disconcerting, but I based my rating on the writing. The only thing I questioned in the writing, and it's a minor point, is the use of "prolific" in two descriptions. Might "Productive" does not scratch the surface" get your point across without the repetition?

Good point! Thank you! As far as the layout, I just hit "centered."
Thanks for the extra star, too.
-
The issue with the layout is that your poem is, apparently, entered as a story ("General Fiction") so, instead of being centered under the picture, as you intended, the poem starts to the right of the photo and wraps, and the wrap point is mid-verse. It was a fun read either way, though.
-
Thanks for that tip; I truly just didn't know.
-
No problem. I?ve only known stories to lay out that way, so I checked to see how it was listed. It probably just defaulted, since you?d submitted stories recently.
