Post Auction Thoughts

[gioiamia]

Now that this auction is over and some of the really hard work is begun - both for the authors and for those of us who handle the accounting side of things - I found myself reflecting this afternoon about some of the praise I’ve personally received over my part in the auction.

I don’t mean to sound like I’m unappreciative of the ‘thank yous’ I’ve

You do a great job being the "face" of support stacie.

Thank you, Chants! You're awesome! *smooches*

I had to laugh at the last paragraph. LOL It's so true. Heck, it was being produced DURING the auction.

You are amazingly gracious Gioia and I want to publically thank you for all that you do for the auctions. *big hug*

I also want to publically thank every single one of the people behind the scenes that help to make the auction run as smoothly as it does. Each of you is absolutely amazing.

Finally, I would like to thank the auction participants. None of this would be possible without you, no matter how hard people worked behind the scenes. So whether you've donated your time and talents to the auction, placed bids, entered friendly bantering battles, been a part of a bidding war, or just plain cheered everyone on, Thank you, from the very bottom of my heart.

*giant hugs to you all*

Well done and well said about all involved.

[gioiamia]

Thank you, Iwanna!

[gioiamia]

Thank you so much, Squid! *huge hug*

But at the same time I want to make sure I acknowledge that I’m not the only one doing this and that I really cannot take credit for the success we’ve seen anymore than I expect Fox News to show up at my house next time one of my favorite candidates is elected and ask me about how I personally brought it about.

Copying and pasting this so you'll know I've seen it, read it, and understood it.

Now I'll proceed to completely ignore it. *g*

I think you did a fantastic job. And yes, all the other volunteers did, too. So I'd like to dedicate at least a drabble to you guys (well, those of you who like Doctor Who. *g*) And you, as the official spokesperson, have been chosen to give me a prompt! :)

[gioiamia]

Seriously? OMG, what an awesome treat! I'm in the middle of processing a bunch of payments at the moment, but as soon as my brain clears a bit I'm coming back with one. THANK YOU!

[gioiamia]

Actually, I already know. *grins*

Some of the other DW authors who were in chat during the auction may have already done something about this, but:

Jack & Woodstock. Your choice of whether or not the Doctor or Rose are there, too.

Jack & Woodstock. Your choice of whether or not the Doctor or Rose are there, too.

*squee* Oh yes!!!! That prompt is made of win on SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO many levels.

*puts on serious face* What a lovely offer yamx. Despite what gioia says she TOTALLY deserves it! Happy Writing, I can't wait to read it! :)
