Congratulations! The 2011 Season is Over!

Nov 01, 2011 13:00

First off, CONGRATULATIONS EVERYONE! I can't say that enough! We've gotten just about a boatload of fantastic entries, and I'm at once humbled by the amount of participation and proud of each and every one of you! We've soundly beaten the totals of last year, and that is something to be proud of! So lets get to the numbers, shall we?

( Check out the stats to see how well you all did! )

Yay us!! I am really, really hoping to get around to reading and commenting on everyone's posts. I know how awesome it is to get comments on your work LOL.

And good luck to everyone on NaNoWriMo. I'm the same name over there, so anyone feel free to buddy me. It's all happiness:)

I know, right? We did so well! And next year will be even more EPIC.

Congrats to everyone! I hope next year I can actually buckle down and participate, instead of signing up and never getting anything done.
You did a great job modding, thanks for everything!

Aww, thank you! It means a lot to me for you to say that!

And don't worry about not posting - the fact that you signed up is great too! I know what you mean though; I've been on NaNo since 2005, and it took me until 2009 to actually finish and win! And you always have next year to keep practicing!

And so you did! We are so sorry about that oversight, and will fix it immediately. Thanks for setting us straight!

I had every intention of completing the full challenge, but unfortunately real life got in the way! I was sad to not fully participate, but I have to say that thinking about getting up to 1,000 words for each piece, whether I got to finish them or not, was an excellent motivator.

You two did an excellent job modding--it was so great to see you commenting on everyone's pieces and offering encouragement. Should my life be a little calmer next year, I'll definitely be returning! :D

That's what I like to hear! I nearly didn't finish myself, so no worries about life!

Thanks so much for the compliment and we'll see you then!
