Comment from Terry Broxson
John, when I realized the subject of your story was a reviewer who did the unexpected. I knew immediately who she was. Her reviews are always outstanding. One review she gave me a good while back was so good I almost forced her to post it as a story. She did. It was the #1 rated story of the month.
She is a great poet and prose writer, but we just can't get her to write enough. So, that is what I think of Karenina. And you did good, too! Terry.

John, when I started on FS, she was the first person to sign up as a fan. I had no idea what a fan was all about. She had to explain to me. Terry.

Looks like she hasn?t changed. Helpful as always.

Aww. She's done the same for me. Isn't she wonderful. She's such a lovely supporter and friend for us all. Well done, John (I think that's right) for posting this and paying just tribute to her.

Comment from Wendy G
That is just so typical of her sweet nature. How much time and effort went into that special gift for you ( for aren't time and energy the two greatest gifts one can offer? And the joy of seeing all those All Time Best awards. She is indeed very special and I can understand how special you must feel also. Thank you for honouring her too with this piece.

I'm sure you're not the first one to have been the recipient of K's many kindnesses. She is a special person, who is probably thrilled by your response, yet humble. Very nicely done.

Of course...it was just a comment on her nature.
Comment from Dolly'sPoems
I think I know who that is and she has often dipped into my portfolio too, bless her. How lovely that you felt like a lottery winner and it inspires you to write this wonderful post John.
Just one suggestion for this line:
(This is a prime example (of) the people here on FanStory (who) elevate this platform...)

Comment from Lea Tonin1
I like this! What a cool way to talk about fanstory! What a wonderful thing for a fellow writer to do! This is a success story and a truly great one too. And it'such a way of going about it. I see, no issues with grammar aesthetics punctuation subject matter. A great piece of work I wish you best luck have a great night!

Comment from Sally Law
Yes, Karenima has been known to do this. She's a dear thing. I have had this done to me by many FanStory reviewing angels. I'm the queen of 25 reviews, falling 1 short of all time best, LOL! It feels great, doesn't it? Congratulations, John, and thank you Karenina if you're reading this! Christmas came early for you, friend. .
Sending you my best today as always,

It feels great, but the better feeling is to know I have a friend named Karenina!
Oh by the way, you and many others comprise that group of friends!

Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
Dear John, this is a lovely tribute to Karenina who is simply amazing in her reviewing work, not to mention her writing. I always end up learning more from her than in my own research. That said, your portfolio would have been a treat to read and she would have been stealing all your recipes and jokes:)) Debbie

She is a talent with a huge heart for sure. Thank you for those kind words and giving me a laugh as well!
Sorry, it must be 2:30am?
Yikes!
