Thursday Thirteen the Fourth: Things FanLit Forever Did Right This Year

This is it for my FF promo stuff for a while, honest.  I just couldn’t resist a little retrospective:
 

1 – Came into existence.  Thank you, ladies, for joining.
2 – Inspired Lara’s story Perfect Pleasure, which has already been requested by an editor, though the only place it has been out is in a FF round, and a RWA contest.
3 – Inspired Anastasia’s story For Love and Honor.
4 – Kept Sindee going on Wings of Desire when her muse flitted off again.  Yay Sindee for finishing.
5 – Helped Renee through her rough draft and is helping her through revisions of her first book – Hellion’s Haven
6 – Inspired me to finish revising Zackly Right.
7 – Inspired me to submit Zackly Right.
8 – Launched the group blog Romance Roundtable
9 – Pulled off a great celebration.
10 – Encouraged Chris, Maura, and Sasha to keep writing, reminding them that their work is worthy.
11 – Held 9 rounds.
12-  Provided everyone with a place to unload, confer, and commiserate
13 – Gave me an audience, for which I am eternally grateful.

No, I didn’t name everyone and I’m not going to.  Each of us has gotten something out of it for all kinds of reasons.  These are just on the top of my mind.
