Terrific addition to this marvelous story, Dolly. Loved your characterizations of your fellow FanStorians. This was a fun idea on our hosts part to open this up for our versions. I just posted another one.

    Thank you Yvette for your review for this one and it seems that after I arrived at the party, everyone went down hill after that with a cat fight and everything! Rachelle left in tears and it was a complete shambles according to some accounts. Seriously this was such a fun challenge and I have enjoyed reading everyone's versions, love Dolly x

Good morning, Dolly!
What a wonderful chapter to add to Rachelle's and Gretchen's book!
I loved your descriptions of Wayne, Valda, Paul, Debbie D'Arcy, Beth, Patricia and Tom and of course, Rachelle and Gretchen!
Wouldn't it be truly amazing if a FanStory convention really did take place one day? Folks have talked about it for years...
I so enjoyed your narrative!
Thank you for sharing!

fondly,
diane

    Morning Diane, thank you for your delightful review and six stars and I am so glad you enjoyed this one, yes it would be amazing to have a real convention and meet everyone. I wished I could have included more Fanstory members in my post, but it would have ended up too long. Rachelle and Gretchen created a wonderful crescendo to their story by inviting everyone to take part in their version of the party. I hope you will also write a short story for your version Diane. Thank you for your kind thoughts and rating, I am honoured your enjoyed this one, love Dolly x

I've been reading a few of these chapters; this is a good one, Dolly. I wonder what it would be like if there really was one. Not that I'd be able to fly to America. Can't fly again. But wouldn't it be fun? Well done, and wonderful addition to their story. :))Sandra xx

    Thank you Sandra for your review, yes it would be wonderful to meet everyone on Fanstory, perhaps we could have an online zoom convention! Ha ha ha, love Dolly x

    Actually, that wouldn't be a bad idea! Lol. We'd need large screens, though. 😂

After the wackiness of Wendy's chapter, a far more sedate and civilised rendering here of this glorious FS convention which, by now, has gone down in the annals of NYC history! Although you don't mention your own attire, I know you would have been looking stunning in a glittering mini dress (to show off those enviably toned, athletic legs) and of course the famous knee-length silver boots:)) And thank you for your lovely, flattering description of me (I really must update that pic by a couple of decades!) Thank you for sharing your wonderful story, Dolly. Love Debbie xx

    Thank you Debbie for your review and six stars. You should read Rachelle Allen's post called Powder Keg, it is hilarious and it describes the outfit I am wearing. I am so glad you enjoyed this one, this was a fun challenge, love Dolly x x x

You brought a big smile to my face with your chapter. I have just added mine (and you were featured!) It's such a wonderful collaboration between Rachelle and Gretchen, and the invitation to add our chapters makes it even better!
Well done.
Wendy

    Thank you Wendy for your review and I am glad you enjoyed my version, I shall have to read yours now. There were so many people I wanted to mention, but I left out a few so that other people had a chance to add more characters, love Dolly x
reply by Wendy G on 28-Oct-2024
    Yes, me too. Mine was already long!
    Hope no one feels left out.

    Yes, I was mindful not to make it too long as people are put off and won't read it x x x

Hello Dolly,
I'm so glad you chimed in on this amazing story. You wrote a great addition. I have to admit, I wouldn't know how to act in such a grand meeting of so many well dressed, well versed people. I doubt that I'd fit in wearing a plaid flannel shirt and blue jeans, with a baseball cap mentioning Hoonah Cold Storage on the front. It would be fun to watch from the sidelines though. Thanks for sharing this gal.
Have a blessed evening.
Tom

This is another fun story with lots of friends mixed into the party. I enjoyed your story very much. I think it was a great idea to add an ending to Rachelle's and Gretchen's stories. It was so much fun and so interesting to see how everyone thinks.
Smiles, Carol

Wow Dolly that's so amazing you got to meet fellow Fanstorians at a convention. It sounded like quite the party. What an honour to meet everyone in person, and have face to face conversations! You told the story so well too I really enjoyed it. Well done!
Best Wishes
Nicki xoxo
