Dear DJ,

I do have a gift for you, it just is not quite ready yet (that must sound familiar... can I have eighteen extensions?)  In the meantime, however, I didn't want to miss my chance to say thank you.  I so so appreciate all the work you do and have done on these Games, and it's been an utter privilege to be allowed to take part in them.  I remember finding this year's invitation to participate days after the sign up deadline had passed, and wailing in despair.  I am so grateful you let me have a place on the team.  I had not posted or written ANYTHING since the last games, and to get this story out of me - to finally put down the words that had been rattling around my brain for so long, and actually FINISH something - it's all down to you.  I've had a blast, and been introduced to some brilliant new writers and artists.  I'm so touched by the generosity and love you tirelessly show for the participants, the community, and our wizarding boys.  These Games have been inspiring.

Thank you, thank you, a million times over.  Expect the gift of fic(ish...ness...) in the very near future.

Mia

P.S.  I think we live in the same city.   If you ever need some escape from Olympic insanity (Quaaatchi...), it'd be an honour to buy coffee/hard liquor for the Queen Mod herself.
