If it’s one thing you learn after eight years of Catholic school, it’s how to be nice. You also learn other important things like lacrosse and how fish and bread like to multiply themselves at the drop of a hat.

First, Laine P. Grey, one of the most notable authors on this site. Her stories hint at a deeper meaning, and her descriptions bring everything to life.

Of course I must mention THX 0477 “the” author on Ficlets. His stories never cease to amaze, his flowing vocabulary makes his stories more eloquent and enjoyable than the most. And his comments never fail to make my day.

Stovohobo, whose humorous narratives and enthralling sci-fi series always keep the reader hooked.

Horrorfan13, whose mastery of suspense never fails to make any story just a bit more intriguing.

And to all the others who read, rate, and comment countless stories: thank you and may (insert deity of choice) bless you.
