Now, this isn't something that's technically allowed or anything.....

but...

THANK YOU MASQUA!

You've been an inspiration to all the writers on ATS, be it new or old. One of the very first people I really 'met' on ATS during my early days and who got me interesting in exploring writing in a more deep way.

And even though I may not participate as much as I would like, the hard work I see you put in is invaluable to that forum and ATS in general.

So thanks Masqua, from me and ALL of us writers here on ATS.

I'm in full agreement...a HUGE thanks to Masqua for all his work in the Short Story forum, as well as in ATS in general. Your contributions are much appreciated by myself and all the other members here.

..and I'd like to mention for those who haven't taken a moment to follow the link in Masqua's signature....he's a wonderful painter as well.

I'm not usually an ego stroker, but seven years ago Masqua was one of the first to greet me and over the years has maintained the quality in this little corner of ATS. You also inspired me to write and you continue to challenge us with these contests. Thanks. If I could send you an applause I surely would.

Let's keep the stories flowing and draw more members to share.

If "Thanks" threads are generally not allowed - I'd like to jump on the band wagon here (apologies)..

To just say thanks to my self!

Thanks to me for keeping my sanity whilst roaming the crazy mad halls of ATS!

What was I thinking?!

Aha.

Thanks Masqua - For what ever you are being thanked for!

Agreed...to the one who brought me out of the closet and inspired me to write.
Thank you.

I would just like to thank Masqua for the applause he gave me, many moons ago. I didn't thank him at the time because it said 'do not reply' but he popped my applause cherry so thanks for that.

It was a great idea doing this event, we really needed a break from the constant political threads.

Thank you Masqua for everything.

I feel so much joy in my heart when I say Thank you Masqua.
