Pinecone Tortoise
'Piney'
Since Christmas is coming around, I thought I'd start this thread as a sort of cross between Christmas cards and general kind comments. Here is a space for folks to comment on fellow writers and reviewers in thanks or congratulations for their activities on the forums.
Everyone knows how nice it is to get a glowing review. Here's a spot to give someone else those warm fuzzies without having to read through fics you don't want to.
Has someone left a special review on your fic, or a kept reviewing time and time again?
Were people kind to you as a newbie or have you seen someone sticking up/helping a newbie?
Has a story you've read really cheered you up on a bad day or made you laugh when you were feeling down?
Have people on this forum been true friends to you?
Here's you chance to repay some of that. Here, I'll start.
To my reviewers, you welcomed me onto these forums as a newbie and made me feel at home. My fic was my first here, but you encouraged me all the same with warm words and friendly comments. You not only eased me into a place at Serebii, but keep helping me to become a better writer.
lilbluecorsola: You are truly a considerate person. All newbies lucky enough to receive your reviews should feel thankful. Your gentle coaxing and deliberately softened guidance shows a real thoughtfulness for the young writer putting themselves and their writing out for the first time. Thankyou.
Sike Saner: Such a glowing reviewer and brilliant writer. There have been moments in Communication that were just priceless and came at exactly the right moment. Thankyou for that. People often underrate the value of humour and I'm so glad you're not one of them. Congratulations on your placings in the Summer Awards! Great to see that your hard work has been recognised. Thankyou also for your consistent reviewing. It means a lot to have a writer like you putting so much effort into reading my fic.
Quacka(Quackerdrill): For being both a talented writer and reviewer, I thankyou. Like Sike, I chanced upon Tangled Up at an opportune moment and it really cheered me up. What's more, you keep reviewing. Whilst one-off reviewers are nice to boost the review count, the sort that keep coming back mean a lot more, because you get to know them better and you can tell that you haven't scared them away. ^^ Thankyou.
Negrek: For that mamoth review you fitted in to your seemingly endless list of fics to review, a very big thankyou. Who needs a Spellchecker when they have a Negrek? Seriously though, I won't subject you to such a raw read again. Even though you had doubts about my fic, you still managed to be kind and find something nice to say about it. ^^ For your enormous effort, the time it took and the considerate way you went about it, thankyou!
Ash_Junior: One of my first and recurring reviewers. Thankyou for the time you spent reading my fic and leaving such glowing reviews. Thankyou for being so enthusiastic about it and for not judging me cause I used canon characters. ^^ For returning in spite of my fic, thanks!
Saffire Persian: For joining the collection of recurring reviewers and being so kind about my writing, thanks! And for agreeing with me that Zigzagoon are both awesome and huggable. ^^ ;263; Your reviews pick out bits in my story that I hoped people would, which gives me warm fuzzies. Thankyou so much for that.
BenJS: For coming out of the silent reader closet and reviewing, thankyou. I'd only been hoping for something along the lines of 'Hi. I read this.', but you actually left me a review! ^^ Thanks.
Ex_Kyogre: For being such a perky and friendly person, thanks. Almost whenever I log on, a new message from you is sitting in my inbox, waiting to be read. ^^ It's so nice to be remembered amongst what looks to be a very long and growing list of your friends. Thankyou.
Scrap: Even if your style is too dark for my tastes, the threads you start on the Author's Cafe are fascinating and original. Food for thought indeed. From pokecurrency to science stereotypes, you provoke thoughtful and considered discussion about details of the pokemon world that most people would pass by. Thankyou for spawning such interesting topics!
To all of you, thankyou. If I've missed people out (which I almost certainly have), please forgive me.
Hopefully, you folks will have seen the type of cheer we can spread here. It's the festive season, let's get festive! This is just my attempt to add something positive to the forums. A little help, please?
