Funny, Stacy, I was thinking the same thing...who do you have to sleep with to get on this list?  I'm new, but I'm aiming high for next year...

@Sean You just have to be totally super duper awesome like me, that's all!  We are just filler! no one stands a chance against Howie and R. Moon. Maybe if I sleep with one of them I can get their t-shirt and pretend I won.

I had to vote for myself, but in all honesty, Howie is the fucking man! Dammit, I want a t-shirt! Can we get a runner-up t-shirt? I'm all about free t-shirts!

I wanted to vote for Howie, but he never reviewed any of my work. No worries though. Go Team Howie! Go Team Obama! Two completely random sentences back-to-back.

R. Moon has the most indepth and thoughtful critiques I've ever read.  He knows his shit and is kind about the advice he gives.  There are a lot of good reviewers on this site, but nobody that does so many with so much positive reinforcement and care.

Thanks man! I feel the same about your reviews. There are a lot of really good reviewers on the site now. I can think of five or six that are deserving of this list. Frankly, it's an honor to be included on a list of such highly regarded reviewers. And speaking of reviews, I'll be getting to them this week. I was away for the weekend and got in yesterday.

I've received both Rian and Bryan's reviews, and they're both supremely helpful. Let me just say that sometimes Rian's reviews are sometimes longer, and more in depth than my story he's reviewing.

I'm literally genuinely surprised and honored that two people chose me over Rian and Howie, even if it was out of pity.

I think the voting is stalled.  There's many more workshop members than this.  Where's the love?  Is it because we're too awesome and you're confused?  If so, may I suggest you vote for the one whose name starts with the letter closest to the first letter of the middle name of the girl you had a crush on in 7th grade?  

Because that's how democracy works.

For me, that middle name was Michelle.  That alone justifies my vote for Moon.

I don't remember her middle name, but her first name was Casey. Her last name started with an L.
