If I had a million gps: I would 1) upgrade my account, 2) open a charity forum, 3) host contests, 4) randomly select other accounts to upgrade or those who asked and 5) buy lots of WDC stuff! (I always wanted a notebook or something with WDC on it ^.^)

If I had a million gps: If I had a million GPs, I would give it to the other people that don't have that many GPs.

If I had a million gps: I would continue my upgrade, then donate the rest to keep my favorite contests going!

If I had a million gps: I would finally upgrade my account to a higher membership. More reviews would be read and rewarded the points they deserve. And I would shop for items that would help promote this site to others I know.

Dreamer: Kasia ♥ Thanks Anon!

If I had a million gps: (Rhetorical question?) If I had 1,000,000 GP's, I would host raffles to earn more, support groups, buy showers for members, help new contests, be selfish and promote more of my own writing, promote my friend's ports, and much more!

If I had a million gps: I would make donations to a lot of different groups, including those I click on at random from the Groups listing page. (I've done it before.) Any that gave MBs, I would ask them to instead donate that 10k to other groups, kind of a pay-it-forward. :)

If I had a million gps: A million gift points would enable me to upgrade my membership and have it paid for a year or two, and with that I would also do the same for someone else. What's a blessing if you don't share :)

If I had a million gps: I would use it to first buy myself an upgraded membership (hey, I deserve it for getting a million gps somehow). Then I'd give other deserving people upgrades as well! Last, leftover money would go to my favorite groups, contests, and friends.

Dreamer: Sarah~goodbye writing.com
Dreamt at: 09-11-09 @ 2:55am
If I had a million gps: First of all, I would use it for my upgrade first, then probably donate to a few contests and possibly award some items I think deserves it.

If I had a million gps: I would create clever and fun events and disperse the majority of those GPs to several members/groups by way of contests, donations, and activities.

Dreamer: Sara - will be back soon
Dreamt at: 08-06-09 @ 11:21am
If I had a million gps: I would buy myself an upgrade, then choose members in the WDC Community who do a lot around the site and whose memberships are expiring - or don't have any - and grant them memberships. I would use the remaining GPs for contests and {item:league}.

If I had a million gps: I'd give them away to everyone who gives me a nice, positive review on writing.com. I'd also send them to random people who I get along with on the website. I may buy a signature with my gift points, as well.

If I had a million gps: If I had a million gift points, I would first find someone to bless with them. It makes more of a difference in what you give to others. I would then use them to further my writing here and always remain aware of others needs.

If I had a million gps: If I had a million gps: I would update my account so that I could use all the features on WDC. I would also start a contest for Magnificent 7 fan fiction and give away awesome prizes. :)

If I had a million gps: I'd buy you a monkey, but not a real monkey; that's just cruel. My upgrade my profile, and pick some random person's and upgrade theirs. Some very random person... it could be you.

If I had a million gps: I'd extend my upgraded membership, gift some upgrades, and offer more generous rewards for rating and reviewing my work.

If I had a million gps: I would pay up my membershp, it's always due when I'm broke. Spend some in the public review room, they don't get enough credit. Some in donations to some great groups. The rest? Towards prizes for my contests, handing out ribbons/MB's.

If I had a million gps: First I would focus on upgrading myself. Then I would be giving a lot away, I have a lot of people who I think deserve them, with the rest, probably storing or donating some to Raok and charities. I really think they deserve them

If I had a million gps: I would pay up a year's premium so I wouldn't have to worry about that. The rest I would love to pass on in ways such as memberships for others, Awardicons for deserving items, merit badges, cnotes to random members to spread some cheer.

Dreamt at: 08-24-08 @ 3:56pm
If I had a million gps: I'd put half of it into my membership fund and purchase a premium, give some to RAOK since they always upgraded me when I couldn't afford to, use them to help fund some of my activities, then split the rest up when I reply to reviews.

Dreamer: Hidden Writer
Dreamt at: 08-24-08 @ 1:02pm
If I had a million gps: If I had 1 Million Gift Points I would split it up with all the groups I'm in and me. Take my portion and send the GPs to friends and newbies that need the GPs and if there are any left, maybe upgrade myself.

If I had a million gps: I'd invest it in a stock market, become insanely rich, buy WDC, and then I'd technically have ALL the gps. Then I'd donate to a worthy cause.

Dreamer: WDCF Kim: till next time.
Dreamt at: 08-23-08 @ 10:50am

If I had a million gps: If I had a million GPs, I'd keep my upgrade, please. I'd give back to the community, and I'd sow some "pay it forward" seeds! (OK, so I *know* I'm not a poet...but I tried. lol)

Dreamer: Smiling Sonali WDC Power #1!
Dreamt at: 08-23-08 @ 1:36am

Dreamer: Bear
Dreamt at: 08-21-08 @ 12:23pm
If I had a million gps: I would upgrade, like everyone else, then share some, more points means more to reward, then see if I could use them in the online store. :) Wouldn't that be neat? I'd have oodles of journals and pens!

Dreamer: Cemetarykat says,Bring it on!

If I had a million gps: I would have to, as a sort of business type person, make it into two million (Not sure how, but I could find a way), along the way giving to charities and hosting various events (probably raffles, never liked the prospect of hosting a contest).
