Leave it to Buffy, Spike, and Angel to snatch away our speech and make it allll about them. Little brats. 

And if anyone wants to write some Buffy/Spike/Angel ... I've been assured that Spike doesn't mind. As long as he gets more 'airtime' than Angel. Whatever that means. 

You guys are amazing and we all love your guts! :)

I need a bowing down emoji, cuz that's really more like it. All of you admins (and D'Hoffryn, I *know* he was involved) are so brilliant and fantastic for this. And for hosting our favorite people (and Angel) for the day! 

All are welcome to this amazing community - yay! Even Angel (conditionally). And I'm really glad that law suit has been dropped so we can continue our Spuffy fanfare in peace. Now if we can just get rid of that eyesore of a banner...

I had a blast yesterday, all of it really cracked me up. Also huge thanks to D’Hoffryn for his part in this 😆. This community has been such a blast the past drabble month! I need some rest but can’t wait to find out what the next event will be. 

Ha, I guess here is where I can write about the March event in general. I've only been here--strictly as a reader--since early February, and I was still trying to find a--what's the word?--healthy way of navigating through the SAD treasure trove, i.e. without spending far too many hours here, and trying to find ways of reading 30+ chapters of a story straight through, then finding out that NO, the story has yet to be completed!, when the March drabble event got started. And that was quite the challenge in terms of not-spending-all-day-reading!

It was a fantabulous experience! It gave me the opportunity to discover many other authors, leading to loading my bookshelf down with more and more to read... later? now? ASAP? It was interesting, fascinating, to see how each of the authors used the prompts to further their stories, impressions, jigsaw puzzles, and what-not. I was so glad to find a Dawn-centric one (I really love the character), and my mind was blown away by how some of them ran me, without pity, through the wringer of every possible range of emotions. I rarely did more than just "like" the various episodes, so eager was I to forge on and read more, so my apologies for that. I realize that the authors were grateful for feedback, and have noticed that most of it came from fellow authors who understand that need. I love the positive dynamics among the authors! I did plan to write a comment at the end, for the drabbles I liked best, and hopefully I'll get around to it. They're added to the already very numerous "Due for review" stories I have on my bookshelf, and even if it's late, I hope to show my appreciation to each of you at some point down the line. I have a lame excuse. I usually read SAD stories on my phone, and I'm just not that great at "tapping," rather than typing. I'm on my laptop at the moment, waiting for my daughter to show up for a Skype date that she seems to have forgotten.

What stumps me is how do you all find the time for so much of this? Your generosity to us readers is mind-boggling. I barely have enough time to read! I'm in awe, truthfully, of your energy. I'm impressed with the writing, the specific styles (I'm beginning to recognize the authors as I read), the originality, the fantasy, the hurt-and-comfort ability of each of you!

Having in my past life been in charge of several Web sites and discussion forums, I do appreciate the dedication of the SADmins and the (famous?) D'Hoffryn, whose profile I hope to find.

So this is just a note of HUGE APPRECIATION to one and all of you from this newbie SAD reader, who is hoping she will soon be able to pace herself so she doesn't have to go cold turkey on what is clearly an addiction for the moment.

Fantastic April Fool’s joke SAD admins! It was thoroughly entertaining and unique!!

You guys are hilarious. I'm sorry my yesterday was as busy as it was that I just caught the fringes of it. But you're all ridiculous and I love you.

You guys seriously make me so happy. 

I can't believe how much participation this event inspired. The comments alone are astonishing, but the writers who went above and beyond ... wow. Creativity? TEN! Interpreting our prompts in amazingly original ways? 11! I adore all of you so much and your enthusiasm is just beautiful. I am PROUD of you all and proud of this community we've built together. YOU are the reason we're here and YOU are the reason this place is thriving. YOUR voice matters here and always will. So much. I truly appreciate each and every one of you. I wish I could hug you all!

Months and months ago, the SADmins talked about our hopes and our plans and our goals for what we wanted this place to become and you guys have fulfilled it again and again. You showed up and showed out so many times that we can't even believe it. 

Thanks for being you. Thanks for being here. Thanks for letting us host your amazing content. And thanks for lifting each other up so often. THAT is what we wanted the very most. :)

XOXO,
