HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAN!!!! I hope you had an awesome day!

WHAT KC SAID!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY (gotta get in the Xmas spirit!) JOHNATHAN!!!!! I hope you had an awesome day!

I'm so curious about the narrator. Where did he come from? Where is he going? Why is he walking for so long? He also has a mean streak - pulling off the poor spider's legs! What would Charlotte think? lol Ok, that was lame. I'm looking forward to chapter two.

What a great story, Rachel! I was crying at the end! I'm so glad TJ got his HEA and I hope Scott and Collin burn in you-know-where. I hope you're having a great b-day!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RACHEL!!! I hope you're having a great day!

What an awesome story, Wayne! I love Mike - he's so sweet and he certainly didn't deserve all the bad luck he's had. I'm wondering though, why didn't Janet tell Mike that her dad worked in the mall? Hmm, maybe she didn't know. She was only four, going on five, after all. I'm so glad Mike got his HEA. =)

What a great story, Bill! I love the idea of paying it forward. What a terrific message to send out! And now, along with Britney Spears, I share a b-day with Nathan and Teddy!

What a great song Donovan picked to do! It was hysterical! This was such a good story, Bill! Now, on to your other story!

What a great story, Cole! I agree with all your reviewers! I was thinking the same thing as Gary - I had thought that MARC was the one cheating on Zack, and I didn't know who the heck Aiden was. At first I thought he was a jealous guy who wanted Marc (or Zack!) for himself! And when I read the beginning or the preface, I thought the story was going to be another one of your most awesome scientific stories, like your other antho piece. I also like the way you brought up Gastronomique; that's the cooking school you mentioned in Porcupines. I could never forget that name b/c when I first saw it on the page I thought it was a disease. Lol A gastro disease. Sorry! Terrific story, Cole. Maybe you can write a HEA for Marc and Peter in another story. =)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALLAN!!!! I hope you're having a great day!

Tim, you're such a wiseguy!!!!! lol I think I've been slacking!!

This was actually the perfect Christmas story, Addy, even though you didn't plan it out that way! I really loved reading it a second time around, and of course I fell in love with the kitties and Lox (hmm, takeoff on Nox? lol) Oh, and you stuck in Dec. 2, 2014 somewhere in between two dates later on in the month. It wasn't in italics like the rest of the dates. Lol Didn'tcha know I'm trying to forget that date!!!! lolol Loved the story, Addy!! You are a terrific storyteller. =)

Congratulations to all the authors who put their blood, sweat, and tears into each and every story. I tip my hat to you guys because it's a lot of hard work creating all the wonderful stories that are on GA. I think GA is the best site for its authors, techs, site admins, and all the great people who contribute to it every day. And let's hear it for all the reviewers who 'Like' and review these stories, giving the authors feedback on their work. I've written a few reviews here and there , but there are some amazing reviewers out there who write such insightful and thought-provoking reviews (no, not me - I wish!), and it adds to the whole reading and reviewing experience. So congrats GA for having such wonderful authors, contributors, site admins, and extremely knowledgeable tech gurus. Here's to another 100 million words and 100,000 reviews!!

'Who knew there were this many people who could read in LA?' Mrs. Claus took half the elves to work at Amazon...these two lines were hysterical, Mann!!! I never read stories about bestiality (not even sure this is one!), but I HAD to read this one b/c YOU wrote it and you always make me laugh! I was not disappointed! As some of your readers have said - I'll never look at Santa and Rudy the same again! lol This was a terrific story and you really made Rudolf 'human' in his thinking, his actions, and his emotions. I felt so sorry for him. I'm glad it all worked out in the end. Oh, I must have read the part where Santa put the bridle and harness on Rudolf and climbed on and rode him hard throughout the night about ten times thinking they must have been flying in the sky all over the place, when I FINALLY understood that's not the riding they were doing!!!!

I'm crying right along with Malcolm. I thought he would get his HEA with Tommie. I mean, one good thing is that Tommie didn't leave him b/c he doesn't love him; he left him for a fantastic job opportunity in NYC. That could be the big time, you know? Why didn't Tommie ask Mal to go out there with him? He could do woodworking there I guess...although he would have to garage Chase unless they got a place in Brooklyn or Queens with a garage...anyway, I'm over-thinking this way too much! lol And Chase, is the truck named after Rice or Bryant? lol I read your response to Irri's review. I used to watch Nathan Fillion when he was a teenage Buchanan boy on One Life to Live, back when Hayden Panettiere was a seven-year-old little girl trapped in a well. Maybe that was her brother trapped in the well...anyway... I loved this antho, Sasha! True, I wish Mal got his HEA, but I loved the characters and the emotions and the descriptions. As usual, I learned something from reading your stories. lol I know anthos are one-shots, but maybe you could write Malcolm and Dave into another story...a new story perhaps? Just a thought...

That was a great chapter! It was definitely needed after the sadness from the previous ones. =) Mikey has certainly developed a sense of humor! I loved his email! Ditto for Matty. Now Matty has to make his lie a truth - LA here he comes? Can't wait for more! P.S. I love reading about dirty Jerz - although I never heard that expression before. Just "Oh, you're from Jersey? What exit?" lol

I don't know what rock I've been hiding under that I missed not one, but TWO updates of this terrific story. Such a horrible thing the Burkes had to endure - their daughter tragically dying in a car accident, and then the families of the teens in the other car suing them. For what? Will it bring back the dead teenager? So, so sad. Ok, on to the next chapter.

Zayne Malik is Asian??????? I just Googled him to find out which 1D boy he was, and one site listed him as Asian. I would have never known. But my blondie is still the cutest one of the bunch.

Awww, that sucks, Benji. I hope you feel better soon so you can at least have a belated celebration.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BENJI!!!! I hope you're having a great day.

OMG! Now I REALLY have to read the summer anthos if the winter anthos are already here!! lol All of these stories look so good; I definitely need to find the time to sit down and read them.

Penguin saves the kitty!!!!! I'm so glad the little guy made it! Of course Penguin wouldn't let anyone else take care of his "baby"! lol Penguin and Timmy are such great cats! Great story, Val!

LOVED IT!!! It seems Harry and Blondie still have that teen boyish look while the others are growing up.

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY JEREMY!!!! I hope you had a terrific day!

Owl, I'm sorry for all the trouble you've been having. I hope your grandma is better soon. As much as I ADORE all your stories and would LOVE to see updates EVERY DAY, you do what you need to do. Your grandma is way more important than updating. I will be waiting patiently. I hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday season.
