How were we supposed to know it was gonna be a zeitgeist? |
A long time ago in a galaxy that might as well be far, far away, when the 10,000 Gift Point prize pot for the Writer's Cramp was but a far off dream, there was one man who stood up and took on the hosting of a daily contest that promised loads of ideas, loads of fun, and a tenth of the Gift Points, all at the same time. Back then, we had no way of knowing what The Writer's Cramp  would become the multi-layered community foundation that it is nowadays. This item is a commemoration of a community icon in its earliest incarnation, and we look forward to what each new day brings at The Writer's Cramp of today! On this day, the 23 of January, 2003: we, as members of Writing.com, do hereby honor and award The Milkman  for his dedication to our community through the continued success of
Though this item was originally created by Liz Peake, The Milkman took this contest over, upon her departure from the community, to ensure its continuance. He has managed to keep "The Writer's Cramp" running for 365 awards; one a day, for a year. This is a remarkable feat for any one person or group to accomplish, as total prizes given have amassed, at the very least, 365,000 gift points, 1,000 per day of the Cramp. On this, the one year birthday of "The Writer's Cramp" , we decided something special should be done to mark this accomplishment.As a collective group, we all dedicate this trophy to decorate this loved and well-thought contest in honor of The Milkman 's friendship, generosity, and enthusiasm, and our love for him. Each name listed below had contributed, in some way, to the giving of this tribute. It is quite obvious, that we, as the Writing.com community, very much love you, The Milkman . The small amount of names on this list is only a small measurement of impact that you've had on us all! As a final note, the members of the committee, consisting of: give thanks to each and every person who was able to make this possible. It is by the generous people at Writing.com that this award was given, nothing more! Without further ado, here is the list of supporters: Lady Stars  Thanks for giving us prompts when our writer's block was screaming at us. We all love you for it.

ACCEPTANCE SPEECH FROM THE MILKMAN! "As a humbled Milkman how can I not shed a tear of joy for all of these kind words from so many of my friends on Writing.Com. This tribute has made the many hours I have spent writing, reading, reviewing and thinking up the next "The Writer's Cramp" prompt so worthwhile. You people should also pat yourself on the back and encourage yourself for entering this daily contest. I know I have filled a folder in many portfolios with entries, including mine. Writer's Cramp would be nothing without your support. I thank and give a hug to each and everyone of you. Sincerely, The Milkman " |
