A friend had asked me the other day, because I sent out a invitation to join SearchWarp, and was telling everybody how there is something for everyone. There is comedy, politics, religion, and all sorts of articles from "Soup To Nuts"! Then he asked me an interesting question, when I had mentioned that he could also write, and that I would be his "fan", he asked me "What is a fan, and what does a fan do for you"? Well, naturally this got me thinking. I told him that a fan, was like that of a "Singer", the fan loves the music, loves the entertainer, and goes out and buys their CD's to support their fan so they can keep singing. It is also like a favorite sport, or better still, a favorite player, you join their fan club, same as the singer or musician, and support them. As a writer, we support each other and offer encouragement, and read each others articles, short stories, poems etc., so that they may become better writers, or that WE may become better writers ourselves. It is just as important to read short stories: or articles, as it is to write.

     That said, I made a personal commitment to myself, to not only write on a regular basis, but to also read all of my fans work, at least once a week. That is the least I could do for my fans being a fan….but then….as I read my fans work every week, I became addicted to their work, and to what they were writing. I would like to personally thank all of my fans to date that have that have joined my fan club, or who I find interesting (So far) I'm sure there will be more!. I would like to acknowledge who they are in no particular order and thank them for their support, and wonderful stories and articles, I would like to thank;
