Thank You

[gen717]

Thanks so much to my friends here for your kind and comforting words over the loss of my beloved pet.  It was a hard thing to do.  She had been fine the week before, and when we took her to the vet after she'd shown signs of illness two days prior, we never expected to come home from that visit, with nothing more than a collar and a leash and

Feelings are never 'wrong' or 'right' because they are what you feel.

And you completely deserved to win the award hun; both you and Bella are excellent writers and you both are doing more than any other writer -- I think -- at keeping Chlollie alive!! And for that, I (at least) thank you will all my heart!

[gen717]

Awwww.. thank you so much! We're feeling better about things, and yesterday I picked up my dog's ashes. It's weird not having her around, but we're okay.

Thanks too for your kind words about the fanfic awards. There really are a lot of talented Chlollie writers out there, and I hope to see more people recognized next year for their work. *big hugs!*

you truely deserved the win! I can only agree with lilacs_roses, you people are the greatest support for the chlollie-community... you help it grow by providing us with amazing stories!

[gen717]

Thank you, sweetie! I love Chlollie and want to support my 'ship in whatever capacity. I was really happy to see a few Chlollie stories and authors on those nomination lists, and I hope to see more next year.

Oh Gen! I don't even think I managed to say Congrats for the win!!! I was soooo sorry to hear about the loss of your beloved pet that I forgot to send the Congrats!!! You and Bella both are amazing writers, writers who have inspired many other writers to write Chlollie. I was a die hard Clois reader and a Chluce reader before reading a Chlollie from you and Laurelnola and then BAM! I became a Chlollie fanatic! :D You deserve the win as does Bella!

Congrats, My friend, I am both happy and sad for you all at the same time! :D *GINORMOUS SQUISHY HUGS* :D

Thanks so much! How nice of you to say that I'm one of the writers to inspire others. Wow. That really means a lot to me considering I was sooooo worried and shy about ever posting my first story. *hugs you*

We're feeling a bit better here wrt to the loss of our dog. We picked up her ashes yesterday. My daughter wanted them, so I felt it was the least I could do for her, to give her Hallie's ashes to keep.

I'm hoping to get some writing done this weekend. Thank you for thinking of me. :)

Awww shucks Gen, everything I said was true! Your work did inspire me...I even used an excerpt from one of your fics in my own. You are an extremely talented writer and I am so glad that you got over your shyness and posted your fics. They are incredible and you should be so proud of your work. :D

Hey Gen,

I didn't know and I'm so sorry to hear about your dog. I have two cats which are getting older pretty fast and I can't imagine to not having them here anymore anytime soon. My parents used to have a cat which grew up with my sister and me and I cried like a baby for days when she passed away at a high age of 21.So I don't think any emotion can be wrong here, a pet isn't just a pet, it's part of the family and therefore it's only natural to grieve.
I'm sorry for being so lousy these days, but I can't shake the feeling that work is killing me off slowly and I hardly have time to read let alone write anything. But now that I found out you won, I of course have to use the opportunity to express my congratulations! You deserved it so so much as not only your stories but also your arts are perfect!!!!

Hugs

[gen717]

Thanks hun! We're feeling a bit better. We miss her, but we're dealing with it, and we still have our other dog who needs our lovin'.

I know what you mean about work. I've been stressed lately about mine as well. Try to take it easy and pamper yourself when you can. You deserve it. *hugs*

I am sorry to hear about you loved one, I too know what it is like to take a beloved pet to the vets and come home empty handed. I hope time heals. All the best. Cale.

On a more joyful note congrats on your skill as a writer being recognized and given the reward it deserves.

[gen717]

Thanks so much, Cale. Things are better, and I'm wanting to get back to writing. Thank you for thinking of me! *hugs*
