*BigSmile* *Hug1**Smile**Hug2* LOOK WHO'S GOT INTERNET AGAIN!!! *Rolling*

I'm sooooo sorry to have disappeared on you guys in a ridiculous fashion. Long story short... my internet was iffy on the best of days due to the fact that I live way in the country, but then a storm came around and knocked some things off the roof, messed up my internet and I refused to pay for something I had no control over.

Anyway, I have internet again and while I may not be here every second of every day I'll jump in here and there. I'll catch up on things here by the end of the weekend, I hope *Laugh*, and it should be smooth sailing after that... as if. *Bigsmile* Keep your fingers crossed!

Missed you! *Heart*

Well would you believe that - I posted about you and LO! You Doth appear *Shock* *Bigsmile*. It's good to see you back for birthday week Gaby Author Icon !
Jellyfish Author Icon - Yes! So you are the one who conjured Gaby, Jenny! What an awesome power you have.

Hey! It's me! *BigSmile*


Oh, you don't remember me? *Sad* Well, that's okay. Maybe you'll get to know me again, eventually. I'm not what you call a steady presence on WdC but I'm around. As a matter of fact, I've got a ton of catching up to do. But my middle name is Procrastination once I get on here, so instead of what you expect of me, here's something you don't.

Now I've got to catch up with some other more serious matters such as MBs which are beyond overdue and such. You won't see me again here for a while... On the Newsfeed, I mean. I sneak in and out of the site all the time though. *Kiss*

Be good!

🌻 pwheeler ~ love joy peace Author Icon - Thank you! *Hug1**Smile**Hug2* My schedule is still a bit wonky but I'm trying to be here more often. *Bigsmile*

Kit Author Icon - I see! *Rolling* Thank you, Kit! *Heart*
Gaby  Author Icon
Have you missed me?! *Bigsmile*


I tend to fall off the face off the Earth whenever I disappear. One more week. One more week! Then I should be back to a somewhat more of a scheduled presence. I missed WDC's birthday and all the fun activities, but it couldn't be helped.

A lot going on in my life - what else is new?! *Facepalm*

Just wanted to let you know I'm still alive and kicking and will be back soon. As always, I've missed you guys! *Heart*
Glad to see you pop in, Gaby! Take care! We'll see you soon.
Miss you bunches! Looking forward to your return! *Hug1**Smile**Hug2*
Good to hear from you.
Gaby  Author Icon
Hey, guys! *Heart*

I feel like I've fallen off the face of the Earth, but I'm trying to get back. Well, I've finally unearthed my PC but the house demo took three times as long. Old house, unexpected surprises. *Sob* I'm really hoping to be able to get back into some kind of routine by the end of next week *Headbang*. There are still things that I have to do and catch up on, so please, have just a little more patience with me.

I miss you guys and this place! *Heart* *Kiss*
Do not rush things. We will be here when you find your way back. I too have a lot to catch up on. One step at a time.
So glad to hear from you! I've been wondering how you were. *Heart* *Hug1**Smile**Hug2*

Happy Mother's Day
April went behind the house. She didn't see anyone. The long grass covered the field. She wouldn't have noticed the stranger's footprints in any way. She turned to walk back.
That's when April saw them. Footprints that led to the road. And they passed by Auntie Janet's potato patch! So a stranger had snuck in here. But how had he managed it without April noticing?
Gaby  Author Icon
Hey, WdC! *BigSmile*

I have resurfaced - somewhat! There's still some MBs to be given out and what not but the majority of things for "Game of ThronesOpen in new Window. have been given out. Meaning, if you know you're owed an MB or two, they'll arrive, if not soon, then within a week or so.

Other than that, I'll be taking it easy the rest of this month, if not even next month. I still have the official contest to judge *Rolling* and my little one starts Kindergarten at the end of the month which I'm completely anxious about but such is life. I might elaborate some more on how the month of April went on my side in a blog entry, but there are a few things I need to work on before and so on.

I hope those who participated in the games have enjoyed themselves somewhat. *Angelic* To those who like to hang out on the Newsfeed, I hope you didn't mind the posts too much. I also want to thank everyone who made donations to the game, large or small. Without you guys the game wouldn't have been possible! *Heart* Several groups benefited from it as well as the participants who deserved it.

Again, thank you all for everything! *Heart* I love this community SO much! *Hug1**Smile**Hug2*
Thank you for all my GoT goodies, Gaby. You and your helpers have been wonderful this year, as always. I don't blame you for needing a rest now. You deserve it *Heartv*
You are a real inspiration to those aspiring to be a part of Writing.Com, Miss Gaby. I know I got WAY more out of participating in "Game of ThronesOpen in new Window. than I put into it.

Thanks for all you did for us all.

Remember: Rest is a weapon.

You guys have been amazing this year! *Heart*

As you might have seen from the newsfeed posts by the warriors,
"Game of ThronesOpen in new Window. is officially over!



It has been a harrowing month, with maybe a small hiccup, but overall, it was an amazing tournament with great warriors, wonderful participants, and not to forget superb supporters who cheered them on. I think this was our best year yet even if the participation was cut in half. I do hope they've enjoyed the game as much as I've enjoyed running it.

I know that everyone is eager to know the final outcome. So am I! It'll be a few days before I get there and announce official numbers. I'm packing up my house for a complete renovation and leaving tomorrow night, but I'm hoping to have the final numbers by the end of the weekend. I know, I know. Everyone is curious about who won, but to be honest, all of you were amazing! The game has always been demanding but never as much as this time. Be proud of yourselves for all the hard work you've done.

There will be a lot of prizes to give out! After all, we raised a total of

23,469,763 GPs


Thank you for the smooth ride! You have no idea how much easier that made things. *Heart* I'll be back as soon as I can to do the final numbers. In the meantime, back to the standard WdC news. *Bigsmile*


These Games have been a pleasure to participate in. Thanks, to you and your helpers for all you hard work. And, congratulations to everyone who took part. Now … Relax.

Geez, man, I can't even mL right anymore. *Yikes*

Congratulations to all the participants! And thank you Gaby!

It's the last day for the amazing warriors over at "Game of ThronesOpen in new Window.!! *Bigsmile*

Aren't you happy that you won't see any more posts about the game? Yeah? Of course you are. But they can use that one last push to keep going. 1K in GPs is appreciated as well.

Give 'em a cheer! *Heart* They did an amazing job.

Gaby, will your item be viewable after the competition? *Laugh* Cause I still wanna do them. Must not be in my right mind. I think I'll do them until the next GOT is due. *Laugh*
Gaby  Author Icon
Elycia Lee ☮ Author Icon - Yes, it will. I won't remove anything from the forums any time soon so have fun. Copy things so you can have them saved.

Better late than never. *Bigsmile*

You might want to consider transferring ten million of those GPs to me; for safekeeping if someone raids your hoard. Just an idea.

Whops! Did GoT really break WdC? *Worry* I know people joked about it before but... *Sob* I didn't do it!
I was online so I watched WDC crumble after this was posted "Note: For some time now I have been considering becomin...". *Laugh* That and the wind of Westeros blew the snow over to today. *Laugh* It was the snowstorm and some stray ghosts that claimed to be a writer.
Wait, so having everybody NOT playing GoT yesterday broke the servers? That makes no sense, so it has to be true.
Once again I defer to Sgt. Schulz. I know nothink...

For one day... An entire DAY! Peace reigns in Westeros. It's almost hard to believe it. My emails aren't stacking up, zero notifications, and ...wow just quiet. I like it. I missed it! *Rolling* It won't last long... *Sly*
- I didn't hang out with Hugh too often. I preferred Movie Stars ... Swimming Pools.
I thought the song went "Swimming pools...movie stars." *Laugh*


(Reference to the theme song to the TV show The Beverly Hillbillies, in case anyone isn't aware. *Wink*)
- Oh yea. I knew that didn't sound right. All that partying back in the days, you know. It was tough being a bunny.

Hey, there WdC! *Bigsmile*

I know you're probably sick and tired of hearing about "Game of ThronesOpen in new Window. while all my warriors are just tired, exhausted, and well, dragging feet. We are so close to the end. So close!

We've also managed to raise

Group Gift Point Balance: 9,689,068 GPs


What say you for some serious support? They need a pat on the back. That final push to cross the finish-line before falling to their knees with tears streaming down their battle-scarred faces? Anything? *Sly*

There's always grumbles about reviews each time "Game of ThronesOpen in new Window. is in session. I just want you to look at these numbers and stats. If you can't see it, just go to Recent Reviews, left side tabs, and look under most credited and most active reviewers!
Amethyst Agape Angel ♡ Author Icon - That's probably true, Angel, but what I said still applies. It's how much each review earns that'll get you up that list.
Yes, my understanding is Most Credited is got paid the most through review credits. However, being verbose can play a part. It's hard to do a really good review in 300 characters. But in 3000, you surely had to give some helpful tips and insight. *Laugh* Also, those who go through and just send review credits to anyone with a good review probably won't read the really long ones and just assumes they're good quality, thus long increases the odds of getting paid. *Wink*
To paraphrase that old saying: Grumblers are gonna grumble!
