This is very charming, Barbara. Your writing is superb. I'm also friends with
some of the other FS writers you mention in your story. I hope you have a good evening and blessings to you.

Thank you for the support.
Comment from Esther Brown
Barbara I loved your chapter. So many people I know only as names were mentioned! I would be there in the corner hiding or possibly never go in the first place. You definitely "got this". There were a few typos but I was enjoying reading and forgot to mark them. Well done. Esther

Hahahahaha!! Oh Barbara, that is definately a party I would love to attend, and you would NOT be sitting in a corner if I had to drag you out! What a fun tale! Written with your usual panache as well as flawless!

Very much my pleasure, Barbara.
Comment from T B Botts
Hello Barbara,
I find it amazing that you are shy. I know that you've done a number of book signings. I've done a few, reluctantly. I share your same sense of inadequacy in a crowd. When I'm sitting at the computer and have time to think about what I'm going to say, I can kind of correct things before they get out of my control. Speaking, I sometimes say things that don't quite come out right, and everyone seems to be ready to be offended so easily, that it's easier to avoid the crowds. Well done on this post gal.
Have a blessed day.
Tom

Thank you for the kind review. I am very shy. In high school people thought I was snobbish, but it was shyness.
Comment from Carol Hillebrenner
You do have an advantage sitting in a corner with a (longhorn?). You could see everyone and what they were doing. I still haven't come up with anything worth reading. Good job giving most of them someone to talk to.

I struggled coming up with something. Finally, this came to mind. Thank you for the kind review.
Comment from Robert Zimmerman
Hello Barbara.
I started laughing at your first sentence. It was difficult for me to set up this piece because everything had already been said about everyone, including me, so I thought there was nothing else to say. So I told my Bob Dylan story. You did a good job in your descriptions of the different people you ran into. I failed to get that done. Good luck in the selection process.

You're welcome.
Comment from Pam (respa)
You did a good job with your version. A very good opening showing your hesitation about going through with this. I like your comment about Wendy G. bringing Sunny. You also do a good job including various FanStory members and what you like about their work and what you would like to discuss with them. Your two paragraphs where you are observing and also commenting on these Fanstorians are written very well with very good descriptive detail.
Your final thought is a good way to end, and maybe you did meet at least some of these authors.

I've realized I've missed mentioning some of my friends. I hope I didn't hurt their feelings. Thank you for the kind review.

I don't think you have. It is hard to include everyone. You are welcome for the review.
Comment from Sanku
This must have taken a lot of time to gather the details and you have done it very well . You have put together different groups discussing different things and it was funny to see Gretchen come from under the table...

Thank you. As am now beginning to realize how many of my friends that I mistakenly didn't add. That makes me very sad.

Comment from gansach
I really have been enjoying reading everyone's version of this wild and crazy pre-party party thrown by Rahelle and Gretchen in their fabulous suite. I'd be with you in the corner just observing everyone and avoiding all the crazy antics. I lived my wild life many years ago now and prefer the comforts of home and my writing, reading, & art. I'm pretty social on socials but it's because I prefer writing to chatting. Your descriptions of everyone are great and I can easily imagine your whole scene. Really well done and a fun read!
