This may not be the right place for this, but I couldn't figure a better spot on the forums, so here goes.
I am feeling the need to express my gratitude for those who work to host this site, and for those who reach out to help other authors.
I feel extremely honored for my stories to be hosted alongside those of Comicality, Carlos Hazday, dkstories, Mark Arbour, and many others too numerous to mention. I feel especially honored that some of the ones I mentioned have contacted me about my writing with kind words and encouragement.
I, like many others, was saddened to learn that we lost Carlos Hazday, and I feel fortunate to have exchanged a few brief messages with him before his passing. I hope that someday, people might say that I am 1% as good an author as he.
If you're new here and need a friend, don't hesitate to reach out, as this community is more than willing to assist with almost any issue you may face as an author. I include myself in that list, and will repay my debt to this community by encouraging others to excel at their art.
Again, thank you all so much.
