Can you believe it’s December already? What a crazy year it has been! We’ve had ups and downs, people come in and out, we had to rebuild the group and we had two FAGE’s; both of which were complete successes!
We’ve had some new family members born this year, with a few admin and members welcoming new additions. We’ve had some losses too and we've had to really band together as a family to be there for those who have lost friends, or family, and for those going through troubled times.
It’s amazing to see how the group comes together during the good and bad times. Sure there are complaints, no person is perfect and no group run by humans is going to be perfect either. However, I like to think that we all do what we can to make it one of the best, if not THE best, general fanfiction groups on Facebook.
I really love seeing all the messages about how FFA has opened their mind to search out fanfiction for fandoms they'd forgotten about or didn't think to read up on. I know I've read quite a few different fandoms this year and it's been so much fun.
But what I love most is that this group isn't just about fandoms and fanfiction. It's become a second home for many. A place to speak with like minded, and some not so like minded, people and source different opinions on many different subjects. It just goes to show that hundreds of different people CAN get along, no matter where you're from.
In short, it's YOU guys that make FFA what it is and I want to thank you for being my home away from home.
With that said we thought that we would end the year with a big bang, and what better way to do that than to hand out some awards and have a good laugh while doing it? We want you all to share the festive spirit this holiday season. No matter what race, creed, religion or country you come from, you ALL can join! Even if you don't celebrate anything in December, we have something for you, too!
(At least we hope that we have covered all bases and there is something for everyone. Remember, we are always willing to hear your ideas so if you think of a category to add to our list of awards, please let an admin member know.)
