One Year On - a message of thanks!

[dizzojay]

Exactly one year ago, my fab buddies jj1564, milly_gal and I decided that we loved our little Mini Funko Winchester dolls so much that we decided to set up a little mini community here on Livejournal so that we could give ourselves a valid excuse for having fun with them, and hopefully put a few smiles on a few equally mad peoples' faces in the process.

And on that modest foundation, on the 8th July 2014, spn_on_parade was born

Today spn_on_parade celebrates its first anniversary and during that year, we have been amazed and delighted that our little plastic peeps have been embraced beyond our wildest imaginings by almost 100 wonderful people from all around the world.  635 posts, and in excess of 40 Funkos later, the community is still going strong; hopping with mini madness and Funko frolics.

So this is where I want to say a massive and sincere thank you to those people who follow our adventures with the mini boys, laugh along with us, support us and encourage and enable us.  I know many of you are on my f-list, hence this post.  As I've said before, without you all we'd just be three women who are old enough to know better and a lot of plastic dolls.



If you haven't discovered spn_on_parade yet, hop on over and visit us; we'd love to see you!

You're most welcome!

As I told Milly, I should be the one thanking you. I hadn't written fiction or drawn anything in YEARS, procrastination and intimidation putting a double whammy on me. I knew I was rusty as hell, that other people are light years ahead of me (especially when it comes to SPN fanworks), and figured I shouldn't even try.

Then here comes this comm, and suddenly the intimidation is gone. It's tiny plastic dolls, surely I can handle that, right? Turns out I rediscovered the joys of writing and drawing, which killed the procrastination. I'm not the best, and I don't have to be, but I'm good enough to give the comm a few minutes of fun, and that's enough for me.

My writer's/artist's block is gone because of SPN on Parade. I can't thank you enough.

Your mini comics are fabulous, a real legend of the community and I'm so glad you're with us!
