Is it, karenina? I think it is. I love her. Such a kind lady and so talented. We are friends. Sometimes she'll go in my portfolio a read my old posts. One time she told me she was going to have a Gypsy weekend. :) Thank you for sharing.

Comment from Dawn Munro
"This is a prime example that it's the people here on FanStory which elevates this platform..."
and this--
"Even better then the ten reviews I received, this person reviewed posts which were one review short of the All Time Best status. "
Wonderful! That's the kind of support any writer needs. Well done. You obviously impress this reviewer.

As I was reading, I guessed it was Karenina! She is our Fanstory fairy and she does this for many. She contacted me last night to review someone's post so that it could reach All Time Best.
Yes, it's people like her that make this site a great place to be!
Thanks for celebrating her kindness!

Absolutely. And her big heart surrounds us all!
Thank you for all the kind words, Helen.
Comment from BethShelby
She did it for me as well, several weeks ago. LIke you I was in shock. I felt like I'd won the lottery. Why on earth would anyone read all those stories and poems from years back for two pennies. I feel like there is no way to repay her. She even got someone else to read one to elevate it to All time best because she had reviewed it.

Comment from Karen Cherry Threadgill
That was very nice of you. I do that too. And nobody has ever thanked me like that. Kudos to you for doing so. I think the scoring is dumb the way it is done. So do most of the folks I talk to. How about scoring by words? Or lines? And 150 letters is difficult on a six word poem. I thank you from all of us unsung reviewers who look for work needing points, read with little points, and keep reviewing all the same. Karen

Comment from royowen
Of course Karen! And there are one or two others I could think of that might do that, Robyn Corum did that a few years ago, and there was an epidemic for awhile, I must admit I don't care personally if I have something recognised or all time best is on a post, their value doesn't rest there anyway, but what Karen did is way beyond commendable, it is a golden act of love. Beautifully written John, blessings Roy. So go Karen,

She?s an absolute peach.
Comment from Thesis
I agree that is an unusual occurrence. You did hit the lottery, Lol. I also agree with the family concept on Fanstory. It is rewarding when someone wants to read your work even when it's not being promoted, but 10 in a row, that's special.

Comment from Wendyanne
How lovely for you!! I often wonder about poetry that is not highly promoted. Are people missing out on some amazing because of the lure of the points and member dollars?
