This is going to be a little extra comment about
franztastisch. Because this post is about the good that make us happy, right?
It's rare to meet somebody who just acts like a friend basically from the moment you first speak.
franztastisch was not just extremely welcoming when I joined the comm, she never tired to help with my questions, be it of a technical nature (Tumblr, grrr! *shakes fist*), comm rules or writing. She even gave my new attempts at writing my own stories a thorough and speedy beta - and didn't give up after encountering my atrocious use of commas.
If she held it against me that I promised her a book report on one of her fics and then went ahead and
wrote an analysis of somebody else's work first, she never let me know.
So yeah, you've made me happier in these past few weeks than you'll ever know, so I believe that deserves this extra mention. =)
