Sending an enormous heart felt thank you! You have generously given us enormous chunks of your time and energy so that we can all be part of this crazy, wonderful ride. Every year I get excited for November (and really - who gets excited for November?!) because I get to do this thing that I love so much. You guys are GREAT!
Sorry I'm late, for some reason the email from MaMo telling me it was ML Appreciation day yesterday arrived in my inbox today. helpful. But...
MLs, I love you both! you are amazing and fantastic and you may think it's a thanless job but actually you are quietly appreciated every time people get an email from you, go to an event or spend a while on chat / forums. Even when you don't realise it, hell, even when we don't realise it, we're appreciating you.
My schedule means I never make it to any of the events, so I don't see as much of you (or of anyone in the community) as I'd like, but I do know how hard you work to make this month a fun, memorable experience for all of us, all while somehow juggling your everyday lives and your own nano novels like the rest of us, so thanks for volunteering yourselves for all that crazy amount of extra work, for doing such a good job at it, and for being generally fantastic people.
I've made (very passive) attempts at NaNo a few years in a row now, but this is the first time I've been out to any events, mostly due to the poking and prodding of Bdoing.
Incidentally, this is also the furthest I've gotten.
So, thanks to OilsDragon for being so welcoming at a huge group of people in which I didn't know anyone terribly well except my brother.
Oh, and Bdoing, too. I guess he did an alright job.*
*As my brother this is the legal limit to amount of praise I can give him. Forgive me for seeming lacklustre.
If you don't finish your novel by the end of the month, it's definitely Drew's fault - for not dragging you out to more events. #blameDrew #trollML #ohwaitthisisn'ttwitter
(Aren't you glad that evil minds think alike, Drew?)
Also we never got around to DS9 chatting, so I guess I should probably come out to at least one more event. My nerdery championship needs to be defended. (Hint: I will win. Just ask Drew.)
Well, you've gone and mentioned DS9 on the forums, so now you're technically required to attend another event and back up that claim to nerdery. DS9 cannot be escaped!
I know I've already said this once here, but I wanted to thank you guys again - first, for a terrific, fabulous month; and second, for the thoughtful notes in this thread. You've brought a number of smiles to my face in the midst of my (exhausted, zombie-like) post-overnighter slump this week. :)
THANK YOU to our MLs!
You're fantastic and we love you.

Re: THANK YOU to our MLs!
I am also late, but better late than never.

Re: THANK YOU to our MLs!
I am late too!
I'm so thankful, I may put you in a cartoon.... or two...
Re: THANK YOU to our MLs!
Is that like the threat, "I'm putting you in my next novel and murdering you violently?" :D
Re: THANK YOU to our MLs!
Yay! You are awesome and worshippable.
Re: THANK YOU to our MLs!
:D Thank you for doing a ton of work and writting a novel at the same time!

Re: THANK YOU to our MLs!
OH! You're the brother! Alllooo! I met you. :D
Re: THANK YOU to our MLs!
That's me! I'm not very talkative, hope I didn't seem rude.
If I did, it's Bdoing's fault.
(I'm glad to see, though, that most of you have already figured that out... I appreciate you, Bdoing! For taking the blame.)
Re: THANK YOU to our MLs!
The possibility this thread has of continuing scares me a little.
Re: THANK YOU to our MLs!
I'm okay with it. Stamp of approval.
Re: THANK YOU to our MLs!

Re: THANK YOU to our MLs!
I like this one. She can stay.
Also we never got around to DS9 chatting, so I guess I should probably come out to at least one more event. My nerdery championship needs to be defended. (Hint: I will win. Just ask Drew.)

Re: THANK YOU to our MLs!
Did someone mention DS9? And how it is awesome? And is even more than awesome? Because it is.
Re: THANK YOU to our MLs!
Yessss.
And I love how the "thank the MLs" thread has somehow become the "DS9 is awesome" thread. Warms the cockles of my heart :D
Re: THANK YOU to our MLs!
I never got a message about ML appreciation day :(
I LOVE YOU GUYS.
I've been through lots of Nanos and lots of MLs and events, and you guys have definitely done a great job this year.
Re: THANK YOU to our MLs!
hearts and bunnies and ducks and EVERYTHING
THANK YOU GUYS for introducing me to the Toronto nano community. Never felt more welcomed!
