I just want to say thanks to hd_writers for hosting these awesome Olympic Go for the Gold writing events. You all are amazing.

I want to congratulate all of my fellow medalists. I won't name everyone because there are too many. I also appreciate all of the folks who participated.

Thanks especially to:
slytherincesss for all of your hard work on these great events. You rock!!
kitty_fic for all you do. You are very appreciated!
singlemomsummer for the fabulous banners. They are beautiful!!
kinky_kneazle for Drabble Day!!
And thanks to everyone else, who I don't know about that also worked hard on these events.

Is it rude to ask why I got bronze? Because I've been so busy, I almost don't remember participating..... so, even if it's only in a pm, can someone tell me?

/feels lame and weird.

Woot! Yay! I actually got something! *has never happened before*

Hi!

Drabble Day is usually a really awesome event with lots of participation, but sadly we didn't have many to participate this time. I guess it was just bad timing? :(

So what I did was award everyone who wrote for it with a medal :) I hope you don't mind :) I just really wanted to reward anyone who gave it a shot <3 Yay effort! <3

[kitty_fic]

YAY! You won! <3

[kitty_fic]

Thank you! <3 you!

[vanessawolfie.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's cool. I would have tried to write for all the prompts again, but I didn't have any time, I didn't even have my computer, I just stole some time to check on lj and saw this and tried writing one or two and only had time to finish and post one of the two I started. I'm considering writing for the all, even if the event itself is over, just to use the exercise.

Woo! This was so fun! I wish I participated in more events. >< I hope my participation during Drabble Day made up for that.

Thanks everyone, but the mods especially this was so much fun!

[jakuako.livejournal.com]

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaay! This was so much fun and I wish I'd had time to be more involved. But I loved every event that I got to participate in! Thanks mods and other helpers. You are all so amazing! I can't wait to share my medals with my country (Madagascar xD)! ♥

[celestlyn.livejournal.com]

Congrats, girl!! You so deserve it. You worked so hard.

[singlemomsummer.livejournal.com]

You're welcome, bb, I'm glad you like them!

[pir8fancier.livejournal.com]

So much fun! Thanks!

[thusspakekate.livejournal.com]

If I had known there would be actual medals, I would have participated more!
It was fun, and definitely helped me get my shit done!

[kitty_fic]

I'm glad you enjoyed it ! We enjoyed planning it!

You might want to check again - I realized much to my embarrasment that you earned another medal that I did't award the first time! Sorry! <3

[kitty_fic]

Glad you had fun! Thanks for taking part where you did and great job on getting things done! \o/

[slytherincesss.livejournal.com]

Good job, bb! Congratulations on your medals and thanks so much for your participation!

[slytherincesss.livejournal.com]

Oh, we always try and give our participants a prize/reward. I know how hard it is to write all the words, so great job on your part! :)

[mab.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I hope you hold another similar ww so I can get words out for hols.

[slytherincesss.livejournal.com]

I'm also doing Hols. Kitty and I have some ideas for the month of October, and I'm sure we can work in a word war dedicated to the holiday fic fests. October 21st will be here before we know it. :)

[mab.livejournal.com]

God! I know. I've already plotted out 10k in notes!!! I am not looking forward to actually sitting down to write the monster. Well.. Maybe I am a bit. ;) I'm really looking forward to being finished.

[scarletladyy.livejournal.com]

Oh wow, thank you so much for the lovely banner! I'm so happy I got gold! :D:D:D I wish I'd had time to participate in more, though...
