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.

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 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.

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!

Comment from Karen Cherry Threadgill
Your musings seem very accurate to me. I would have had many small parties. I do not like big ones. People bumping into me, The overuse of colognes, Loudness is very bad for my tinnitus. Today for some reason is a very bad day. I haven't thrown up, but I've been pretty close. Yuck. Did you have many trick or treaters? I slept through it if I had any. Love to you and yours. Karen

Barbara,
Lovely work. I finally made the party. Thank you! Ruby didn't come with me, she's nearby at a party where no humans are allowed!
Anyway, your story is so sweet; you included many of my favorite authors and some I need to reconnect with.
Note: should it be their flights just arrive(d)? If not, sorry. I dont want to detract from your wonderful story.
Excellent work, Barbara.
Good luck,
Blessings,
Cindy

In this post, the people behind the nom de plumes on the site come alive, as figures in this hotel room party. It is interesting that you made it a bit risque. Or maybe almost high school with that food fight analogy. But it colors up the figures we really know from their posts here on Fanstory. Sometimes we need to be reminded that there are real people with colorful personalities behind the nom de plumes. estory

The original authors, Gretchen and Rachelle had the food fight etc. I just took off from there. LOL Thank you.
Comment from Ric Myworld
Well, how you all manage to get all these people's names into your stories with any kind of purpose is new to me. But it more about the effort and time than with the actual content. LOL. Thanks for sharing.

My biggest fear is I forgot somebody, and their feelings will be hurt. That is not my intention. Thank you.

I think anyone left out will certainly realize your good intentions. But I'm sure you are the type to worry about leaving someone out. You're a sweetheart!
