So glad you arrived at the convention, Dolly. Did you fly over or just take the typing tunnel under the Atlantic? I would have suggested the latter, as travel time is significantly reduced. Glad you had a good time at the FanFest.

How lovely! You made it sound like a very happy reunion of long time friends who are meeting for the first time in person. You're so gracious to point out Patricia's sewing talents as you are very talented in sewing yourself!

Thank you Helen for your review, I wrote my version before Jim mentioned the food fight and all the trouble that ensued, but I would have reported only the positives anyway, glad you enjoyed it, love Dolly x

Thanks for including me in your party, Dolly. Loved the string of pearls. I love all the descriptions you've given the different FS writers. I really felt like I could have been
there, if only for that long flight. Well done with this, I enjoyed it,
cheers,
valda

This was great Dolly. You went to great links to bring in a lot of us who didn't get there in time to make the fashion show. No wonder I was late having to drive all the way from Chattanooga to New York. I'm glad my daughter helped me out with the driving. I was excited to meet you. Your golden gown was amazing.

I am feeling jealous for not being part of this party, yet I am a bit confused. Did this party take place in the luxurious and creative mind of Dolly? In anyway, it was a well penned narrative, a very interesting read. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for your review, this is totally fiction and you too can write your version of events for this party and be there talking to other Fanstory members and joining in the fun. Give it a try, love Dolly x x x

What an excellent chapter to "The Powder Keg". I believe I've read each invited guests posts and they all are admirably written. All different as should be and all hilarious!

Sorry to have missed this convention of writers. Maybe the next one.

Good luck in the selection.
John

Thank you John for your review, you could still write a post for this convention as just because you didn't get a mention, does not mean that you were not there John. You could still promote your version of events and I would love to read yours too, love Dolly x x x

Man oh man. You had me going for awhile, Christine. I was wondering why I didn't get invited to this party, then I showed up. It must have been quite a party, because I can't remember a thing.

You made a smile Paul, yes you turned up in a Savile Row suit and polished shoes! I am honoured by your review and six stars. Since you were there, then you will have to contribute to this story now with your version, love Dolly x x x

Comment from Amelie Johns

Excellent

This was such an enjoyable read. Only after reading it did I realise it is a work of fiction. Your character descriptions made it sound so real and I am sure some of the descriptions were spot on as I imagine once here for a while you get to know members through their writing. A convention sounds like a lovely idea. I was almost wishing I was there as I was reading it. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you Amelie for your review, you are so right here, we soon learn about the personalities on Fanstory from their writings and their reviews as they add a little bit of themselves to every post, I appreciate your kind thoughts, love Dolly x

Comment from dovemarie

HiDolly, Was this fiction? It sounded like a real party with FanStorians that actually took place! I wish we could meet at a party some place and meet eachother in person! That would really be wonderful! " A name with a face, in some beautiful, out-of-the way place." That's the poet in me! Love Donna x x

This is very well written, and I enjoyed very much listening to it. You have quite an imagination when it comes to the various people and I could almost see each one of them as you read them off. You nailed me correctly I do not like to wait I do not like to be late for something and I do not like the people making me late for something. Have a wonderful day and may God bless you. Patricia.
