These entries have been enormous fun to read as they come out. It's fun to pick up on the hints and think about who each stanza might be about. You've given plenty of hints but not been too explicit - I very much enjoyed :-)

    Yes, it's been great fun for me too, not only writing, but receiving the reviews as people try to work them out. Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for reviewing.

I am loving this contest! I'm positive on three...

Pretty sure on most of the others, but you've teased us well with your hints!!!

I like the idea of purple for ladies, blue for gents...

Great rhyme, great meter and GREAT fun!

Can hardly wait for the big reveal!!!

    I am loving it too! What a great idea it was. I love reading the entries of others and trying to guess, and I had such fun writing my own. It seems that everyone is having fun with this contest. Wins to everyone, writers and readers, and the ones who have been written about!
    Thanks so much for reviewing. Have you noted your guesses down?

Oh Wendy this is incredible! I love your fun creative humor as you wrote about your FS friends. I haven't had this much fun in a long time while writing and reading in the same prompt. I must do it a few more times to give more a chance to join in. Like I have been telling everyone who is having fun guessing, I feel everyone who wrote along with the recipients of the poems are all winners.
Your entry is great and I am so happy that I took the time to read, but having a hard time guessing who is who in it. But afterwards I'm sure I will say, oh yeah that sounds just like them. Thank you Wendy for this delightful poem and it will be so much fun when we reveal our friends. Awesome job my very dear friend!

    It has certainly been fun! Great to read each other's poems, fun to try and deduce the subjects, and also great fun to read the reviews! Giving sufficient clues to encourage people to guess - but not make it too easy - that's a balance in itself, as well as trying to rhyme and watch metre! Great fun. Yes, we are all winners! Many thanks for initiating this one.
    Many thanks too for the six stars - an unexpected but welcome surprise, and very greatly appreciated.

Your response to this fun prompt is beautifully written with perfect rhyme and a lovely rhythm, I know every FanStory friend you describe will be pleased by the stanza about them. I hope after the judging you will post their names so other members can look them up and enjoy their writing. Good Work!

    Thank you so much! I greatly appreciate the six stars - and feel pleased you said the rhythm was good, as that is a great weakness of mine. Yes, I will post the names in "the big reveal" later. It was such a fun prompt, giving clues, but not too obvious nor too obscure.

It's always hard to work out about whom one is talking about, except one, and I would have described her in the same way, but good luck in this, Helen sometimes likes me writing with Aussie words, which I didn't know they were until some American tells me. Beautifully written Wendy, blessings Roy

    Thanks so much Roy! I think I know the one you have guessed, and I'm sure you're right. The big reveal will show the other names.

I'm not sure exactly who's who in your poem. There could be so many. I'm guessing LisaMay could be your outdoor-loving, painting poet. The last verse could be referring to Theodore M. Enjoyed your entry and best wishes!!

Wendy, I love your poem. It is Saturday, and I am out of sixes. I wish I had your ability to write poetry as well as you write prose. I do recognize the eagle eye. A virtual six, Exceptionally well done. Terry.

    Thank you Terry! That's a lovely compliment, and I am still very glad to receive a virtual six. It's the thought that counts! The big reveal won't be too long. Is that the only one you guessed? (I am sure you are right!. He has a big smile, hasn't he?)

Thank you for sharing this writing prompt entry with us. I am pretty sure I know how three of them are. I can't wait for the big reveal and see if I am correct. I really enjoyed reading this.

    Thank you Barbara. It was such a fun prompt! Revealing enough to help people with their guesses, but not too much ....

You did excellent work of describing your friends on FanStory in poetry. Your identifying people by what they do was done cleverly. I've not been participating enough to guess who's who.

    I am so happy you enjoyed this - it was such a fun prompt to try and give sufficient clues, but not make it too easy for people to guess. Thanks for reviewing.

A pirate loves the life he lives and all he needs is a ship, a sea and a jug of grog. As for you, I think you lack for nothing at all. You have a dog, a bucket load of STARS and more time than most apparently for you rarely if ever miss a day of posting something.

    I do my thinking while dog walking - and sometimes when I am trying desperately to sleep. That saves time! Sometimes quantity would be better replaced by quality, of course. Lol. Thank you for responding. Can you guess any of these FS people?

    Only you and Roy and maybe Jan

    I'm not in it, not saying yet about the other two.
    Do I have more time than most? You got me thinking about what I did yesterday: (washing, cleaning, cooking, gardening, dog walk (all thinking times), Bible Study prep, some pyrography, out for morning tea, almost finished my library book, one short poem and one adjusted poem). Lol.

    Of course! Don't worry. I'm not easily upset. And I've been thinking through my next story ... while driving, or at least my husband was driving. Coming soon. Lol.
