Kermitgorf—Hands down the coolest storyteller on ficlets. He is unassuming and humble. He’ll stick up for you and at the same time be honest. He speaks out against smug know-it-alls and his comments always brighten me up. The originality, skill, and prolific tenacity in which he writes will no doubt land him in a larger venue someday. I simply respect him a ton.

Melia—It’s a virtue to dance like no one is watching and to me Melia epitomizes the meaning of this saying with her pen. I get the distinct impression that she writes for herself and is a natural leader. When I first read her stuff I sent her messages like, how did this go unrated or commented on? Because it outraged me, her ficlets were (and are) astonishing. Since then she has become well recognized and one of the most popular writers here on ficlets. Something that I’m very proud of and unsurprised by.

Kells—Incredible talent (period). Her ficlets are potent and meaningful. If you aren’t familiar, find her through my contacts.
