One of this sites most wonderful members is planning to leave on August 14th.
I’m not going to beg and plead (not much anyway) with her to change her mind. I’m sure she has good reasons for what she is doing.
What I am going to do is throw her a good bye party with this contest.
Let her know how much you love her and how much you enjoy her contests or just write a short note to tell her good-bye. The choice of material is up to you. I just want her to know we care.
I have just posted a second part to this contest. It only requires a yes or no answer. Please take a moment to enter it for Riftkin.

Contest is Over
- Contest was judged on August 6, 2008
- Rewards: Gold: 1500, Silver: 800, Bronze: 400, Honorable mention: 15 people
- Final notes: As may of you probably now know, Riftkin has changed her mind about leaving!!!
I though that knowing this, it would make this contest a breeze to judge. Boy, was I ever wrong!! Each entry I read is filled with so much love and respect for our friend that it became a very difficult decision for me. So much so, that I’ve added enough HMs so everyone will get a cup and some points. I hope you all realize that I did not do this lightly, each entry deserves a reward and that’s why I did it.
As with all my contests, these are in no special order.
Thank you all for a wonderful heart felt contest.

She's leaving allpoetry?

Yes she is. I was shocked when she told me so I'm counting on all her friends to enter this. Even if you just post a short note to let her know she is loved. I appreciate whatever you can enter.

NO promblem...I will definately do so. I just don't understand why she would leave
I don't know her that well, but saw her around ALOT -
-
I'm not sure of her reasons either and am trying not to pry. Boy is it ever hard! LOL. But she's a great person and I know she is doing what she needs to do at this time.

I honestly hate having to say good-bye, I'd much prefer, so long. I do hope someday our paths will cross again. I hope everyone enters this-- because this can be the little part of you -- she carries along the way.

I surely will miss you my friend Riftkin and know you will be missed by many. Take care of yourself.
