Last year I heard about it last minute and felt like I didn't get to do all I wanted to so I was intent on getting off the ground and all signed up and ready to go early - didn't happen LOL <br /><br />I love the idea of your favorite character feature, I'll have to check that out! I can definitely relate to never running out of characters to adore, there's just so many great ones out there. <br /><br />I hope you're still blogging in 5 years time, I've only been blogging for a year (well book blogging) and I hope I don't stop either, it's just too much fun! <br /><br />Great getting to meet you, I'll add you to my RSS feed :)<br /><br />April @ My Shelf ConfessionsApril @ My Shelf Confessionshttp://www.myshelfconfessions.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144784325334181261.post-22056266864452576742012-06-06T17:16:25.278-05:002012-06-06T17:16:25.278-05:00Eeyore, scrabble and Mercedes Lackey... those are ...Eeyore, scrabble and Mercedes Lackey... those are all pretty amazing things! :) <br /><br />Nice to meet you!Chrystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17960209705110683101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144784325334181261.post-44272946286841495312012-06-05T14:44:33.283-05:002012-06-05T14:44:33.283-05:00Hi Ryan!

Favorite Fictional Characters sounds like a great idea, especially since sometimes you can not like a book, but like some of the characters.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by my blog earlier!

I look back at mine every year and laugh at the simplicity of it.<br />Loved your It gets better post. So many kids need to read it (and adults). My cousin's son came out last year and there was no malice in her reaction, but she didn't know how to handle. It was dicey for awhile, but they've come through just fine.stacybuckeyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16811500448951042300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144784325334181261.post-46585259885759442532012-06-05T06:13:32.676-05:002012-06-05T06:13:32.676-05:00It's amazing how the years have past since man...It's amazing how the years have past since many of us have been blogging.

You were the reason I started my blog, of course, and you remain one of my best friends and your blog is one of my favorites too. Speaking of Deb, I miss her. I talked to her via email awhile back and she says she's going to come back. I really hope she does.<br /><br />Favorite Fictional Character is SO great. You are so good at coming up with characters. And your It Gets Better Post was absolutely wonderful.<br /><br />Have fun with A.BEA, my friend!Michelle Stockard Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03572227726980569386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144784325334181261.post-4995598095476546252012-06-05T01:51:30.135-05:002012-06-05T01:51:30.135-05:00You like Eeyore?

Woops, that didn't come out quite right, did it? :D Ahem, let us move on.<br /><br />I totally decided to do the Armchair BEA at the last minute, so we keep good company :D <br /><br />Single parents are superheroes. Well, all parents seem heroes to me, lol, but single parents are def. superheroes, I just had to tell you that. :) <br /><br />Now, this may sound sort of sucky of me to say, but of all the Intro posts I've read so far, I feel that the post you're most proud of is the one I'm most proud of reading. There can never ever be enough support and positive vibe for these kids, so every word counts, let alone such beautiful posts as yours.<br /><br />I'm truly happy to have met you through the Armchair BEA, and I look forward to stalking, errrrm, following your blog :D <br /><br />All my best!Livia @ Butterfly-o-Meter Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15900492244197943143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8144784325334181261.post-27108391520369136422012-06-04T20:39:48.265-05:002012-06-04T20:39:48.265-05:00Love your fictional character posts!

Thank you for sharing your story. I come from a very conservative town, and while I am straight myself, I have several gay friends who were too afraid to come out until they left for post-secondary education.
