It must have been a very hard decision for you to give up the board which was and is so stamped and infused with your creativity and ideas. It has been a major part of so many of our lives since its inception—for me always the first thing I go to when I turn on my computer.

You have brought an element to fandom and, in particular, to fan fiction which had been missing and I don't think even now is in evidence in any other fandom. Before the blueboard, the only discussion about fan fiction writing was in the comments people would make on the storyboards. Comments were always a tricky business for the writer as well as the recipient and therefore one could not discuss the writing with any depth or meaning. You provided a place to both examine canon writing and talk about fan fiction writing together—very heady stuff.

I shall miss your deft and sensitive leadership on so many facets of the board, as well as your creative ideas as to what to discuss and the interaction those topics provided. I hope the dropping of the responsibility will free your mind and open the door to more of whatever you love to do. I hope, too, that it includes more writing (LFN in particular) because your writing moves and affects me and gives me always a great deal of pleasure.

A very warm welcome to the new boardmoms and many thanks for keeping this very special place going.

Ellen
