You did an excellent job responding to the prompt. "Tapped the
keys of the website' is such a nice phrase. I have one suggestion: that, in the last lines of the second stanza, you remove the comma after "kindly" and replace it after "honest." I'm guessing you'll do well in the contest; what could be more clever than this?

Comment from Susan Larson
You said so much of what I would say myself. I wrote a column for three newspapers and front page feature stories for a major city monthly paper for nearly 20 years. I get more feedback in a day from Fanstory than I ever did writing professionally! I've only been here four months and I'm already making friends!

Susan, I hope that you genuinely engage in the very beautiful clubs, the challenges, and the discoveries of writing in many styles as a professional, those of us who are neophytes, will undoubtedly value your contributions.

Your portrayal of FanStory's benefit for you, is much the same as mine. Educational to the nth degree and so many wonderfully talented friendly scholars. A very innovative approach as well the picture depicts.

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written poem about the benefits of FanStory. It is a place where we make friends with members all over the world, a place where we can learn from each other and grow as individuals.

Sandra, thank you.
Comment from Debbie Pope
You have expressed my sentiments exactly. I feel so lucky to have stumbled on FanStory myself. I wonder why I didn't find it earlier. I guess I found it when I needed it most, about the time that I became an empty nester. Your poem is honest and heartfelt. I am very glad that I read it.
The only things that I would change:
In the descriptive line it should be "writer's."
And in the line--Where friends you're sure meet--I think that I would say
"you'll sure meet."
Otherwise, I would not change a thing. Great job.

When I found FanStory, I was looking for a local group of writers. I joined never knowing that I would meet so many interesting people and make lasting friendships.

It is such an amazing place, that unites kindred souls.
Comment from Pam (respa)
-Nice artwork for your poems.
-An ambitious choice with
three nonets.
-Each one describes your
journey on FS, and progresses
smoothly from one to the next.
-I like your description of
"private university." That would
make a good marketing statement.
-I like your positive attitude about
the site, opportunities to write,
and friendships from around the world.
-Good luck in the contest.

Your triple nonet is very well-written, making excellent use of specific details, reasons for your praiseful opinion of FanStory. Yes, there is great
variety--of people, preferences, styles . . . --on this site.
