Dedication
Reviews make me happier and encourage me more than I could say. When I was growing up, the two things I loved the most were writing and performing, and I didn't get to perform as much as I wanted to because my parents didn't approve (one of the many aspects of my life they never supported). But writing has always been something I've been able to enjoy and take comfort in, and when people support and encourage it, I feel like I'm receiving the affirmation and encouragement I've always needed and wanted.
Needless to say, EVERY review, even ones with constructive criticism, makes me incredibly happy and grateful as well as gives me motivation to keep trying. But there are 3 people I need to thank especially.
Stessa, who in addition to being a consistently gracious reviewer, continues to turn out incredible piece after incredible piece on this site. Having such a gifted writer give such kind reviews has been more than a pleasure and something I always appreciate.
Tigger-Babe, who I admire endlessly both as a writer as a person. Her bio on this site is truly an inspiration, and if you haven't read it yet, I recommend that you do, as well as reading her fic, which is well-crafted and enjoyable especially given her young age. I truly believe that the sky is the limit for her, and I am humbled by her in-depth reviews, which I receive regularly.
And last but not least, LJ Bard, whose love for Kelpay brought us together as real-life friends. She exceeds as both a writer and friend, and I appreciate our friendship and support more than she probably realizes. Since this is a Kelpay fic, I absolutely must give her a shout out!
Ladies, this goes out specifically to you. Thanks for everything!
