Booksy Owly, thank you so much! Look for a responce to this in Decepmyth. I wrote a Decepmyth special about your magic feathers...

Katydid: Time to let the cat out of the bag. You are going to think this is rather funny...

My brother loves your writing. He loves Giniva. You and I as Seth and Giniva have made hime laugh, and you have now become part of our "story reference secret code."

I think that most book lovers that are close friends/siblings have this secret code. Cloudy Dweller and I do it. She wrote a Cale and Amethyst (Fantasical RP) fanfiction story during Latin class, and made a joke about syncronized gasping (Ski Lodge) being an Olympic sport in Geography class. Queen Elizabeth and I constantly do it (it's become habit). Shadowmoon (previously Moonshadow) and I have the whole barfing wolverine thing (also ski lodges)... and my brother and I are constantly talking in a secret "reference code" about the Westing Game ("Look at that braid! She's turning into Turtle Wexler"), The Mysterious Benedict Society ("Maybe he learns their names like Nicholas does"), and Kyngdom. 

The point of that whole long paragraph is just to say: Katy, you're breakfast-table book reference talk around my house.

TardisRider: "Let's name this chicken Laria! She has black hair!"

That just says it all. I love your writing and your charries. And yes, I do have eleven chickens that I need to name. 

Here we go. St.'s compliments, new and improved...

Abigail S.: Where to start, Abi? It's hard to put anyone into words, especially you. You're fantastically creative, your writing's amazing, and you're really sweet.  I really don't know what else to say... the impact that you've made on me, and on the CB, is fantastic.

Shadow Dragon: In the other thread, Abi said you have wry humor. I like that; I think it describes you perfectly. You're a bit dark, but in a good way, and your writing is captivating. The spelling errors just give it a signature look. I really do think of you as a BCBB, South Dakota, and you're magnificent through and through. You doubt yourself too much, SD. You need to just get out there and shine.

CaykeTheCook: For the bajillionth time, you were my idol when I first came onto the CB. And it was just because of how much of an amazing person you are. You're so sweet, so friendly, and so great to everyone it's impossible not to like you. Cayke, it was a dreadful day when you said you were going to leave. Never ever ever do that again.

Ruby: Do you know how famous you are on the CB? You and Red... hey, when I first came on, I knew your name and I had no idea who you were. Now I do, and I like you all the more for it. You're quirky-- yes, that's a good word, I think-- and your personality is abstract, and you're really easy to talk to. You're rather serious, but in a good way. You seem like exactly the type of person I look for to speak to, and that's absolutely fantastic. 

Also, sorry I killed your son. Love, Kylo.

Somebody: Where do I start with you? Honestly. When you vanished, I was upset. I missed you more than anyone here could claim to, I think. You were my first BCBB and the one I feel I know the best. Shifting and Volcano and DNA and Agent Nightcat were, and are, all fantastic, you know, and I missed them nearly as much as I missed you. Now that you're back... that time when I saw your post saying so? It's impossible to describe how happy I was. And I topped it sixteen times because you were back and everyone had to see it because you're Somebody, and Somebody is amazing, and everyone must know she had returned. And I know I'm really saying nothing to describe you, just kind of saying whatever comes into my head, but isn't that the best way to say something, really? To say whatever comes into your mind? Sometimes I think it is, because then the real truth comes out. And that's the real truth, Somebody, what I just wrote. It really is.

Mei-xue: Everyone's said it, but I'm saying it one more time for emphasis. You've got a really strong will and you're not afraid to speak your mind. In a way, you remind me of my real life me, with your headstrong personality. And it isn't really in a bad way-- you just say what you mean and what you think, and that takes guts. I applaud you, Mei.

Katydid: First of all, your art is amazing. I've only seen a bit of it, not very much, but it's so original and obviously takes so much time and it's absolutely beautiful. And your writing is simply amazing too-- to be honest, I'm always glad when you join an RP I'm in because you're really, really good with them, I think; you've got a talent for RP writing, Katy. And I can't even begin to describe your personality, which is as sweet as Cayke's but as serious as Ruby's. Sometimes you seem so glum, and you write about it, but you still manage to be cheery everywhere else. I hope, I dearly hope, you can some day be as happy as you are on here.

Curio: You may not be on often, and I see you mostly on the Inkwell, but when you're there... you have fantastic writing skills. In my Hunger Games RP, you really impressed me with Gena-- how well you played her, and just the writing in general... it was absolutely perfect, and I admire that.

Cho C.: Cho, I can't even imagine you as the newbie that first came on the CB anymore. Your writing has improved so dramatically, and you've made yourself such an obvious presence on the CB, I couldn't imagine you going. You're a really sweet person, and social, and diligent as well. In fact, I actually imagine you a bit like Cho Chang: strong, sweet, and smart. What else can I say, my friend? 

Joss: I feel like we'd get along well in real life. You're obviously really dedicated to the performing arts, and I don't doubt you're amazing at them. I don't care if you still play with dolls; you're getting somewhere, Joss, that's for sure.

Novelist: I still can't believe you're as new as you are. You write amazingly, and you've made yourself a solid presence on the CB in a very short period of time, and I admire you for that.

Rose bud: First of all, your writing in Decepmyth is amazing. Absolutely amazing. And you were really, really kind to bring me back in. And don't even get me started on your poetry. But you're a big part of the CB, in all respects, and you most definitely will stay that way.

Do you know, there are some people I can't even write about-- it was hard enough writing about you guys, above. But people like Scylla, and Balletandbow, Savvy, OtR-- I can't even describe you. But you should know that you-- all of you-- have a special place in my heart. Don't you ever forget that.

Saving the best for last....

Admins: Where do I even start with you? You all really have my deepest respects, for reading through the longest of posts (*cough this one cough*), making Blue Moon Ice Cream have a legacy, and fixing eons of spelling errors. You're persistant, and dedicated, and trustworthy. You guys are the ones who really run the CB, and you run it well and kindly. I can't put into words how much I-- and the rest of the CB-- appreciate you. But we do, more than anything, and I hope that it will always, always, always be that way.

Thank you for your kind words, St.Owl. It's nice to be appreciated. And we sure appreciate each and every one of you!
