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

    Thank you. As am now beginning to realize how many of my friends that I mistakenly didn't add. That makes me very sad. Only one trick or treater. I will pray that you start feeling better.

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.

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!

I thought you did just fine, Barbara. I've loved reading all these stories. Thanks for the mention! The twins are in a heap of trouble. You managed to bring in almost everyone on the site, some I've not even heard of. I must come on more. Well done, my friend. I thought it was a great story. :)) Sandra xx

your version of the party actually very much describes how I picture you as being I picture you as being much like myself in as much as you don't want to be there one in the spotlight. So I'm sure that you found me sitting in the corner someplace counting on my fingers the syllables for a new poem. Patricia

I am the same about social situations, especially the high-glam ones, so my post also reflected that! Seems there are a few wallflowers amongst us! Thanks for thinking of Sunny. The travel time of 27 hours would be too much for him to be in a crate in the cargo area of a plane. But I had to do a video call with him so he would eat his dinner - he was so worried about me being away from him! Well done with your post. A fun read!

It sounds like you and I have something in common: we watch the party from afar first, get the lay of the land, then venture in. My personality is such that I'm the life of the party if I know everyone there, but a shy little wallflower if I do not.

Wouldn't it be nice if we could all get together for a few days and really pick each others' brains? I would love that.

Thanks for your offering to this on-going story.

    I'm the same way one on one, I'm fine but put me in a crowd and I'm silent. Thank you for the kind review.

I've started a story/poem, but I'm not mouth of a prose or fiction writer, my typing is so slooow, really I'm a very recent writer in essence, i was a longtime sportsman, but then, that's another story, you might like to do some revision Barbara, there are a few typos, bless you for giving it a whirl, well done, blessings Roy

    I simply wrote it and edited it once. My novels I edit repeatedly for months. I didn't have time to edit this one. LOL I appreciate the kind review.
