SciFi and Fantasy Book Club discussion

I guess 2018 is the time of new beginnings!

Sarah Anne, after almost 3 years, is heading off to new adventures, and I'm so excited for her. Thank you Sarah for everything you've done for us!

While we will miss Sarah Anne, we have the joy of welcoming Anna to mod-ship! Anna is much more organized than I am, so hopefully we'll get things like our group read threads posted on time more than once a quarter. (Sorry!)

Thanks, Anna, for stepping up!!

Thanks Allison! Also, yikes! Be gentle with me!

You're gonna do great! ^^

My first act as ruler of the world moderator will be to go to sleep.

Welcome, Anna! I hope you enjoy modding :)

Yay, Anna!

Wow!! Change is the only constant in the universe!! Welcome Anna!! Sarah you are great!! Best of luck on your new adventures though I assume you will still be around!!

Challenge accepted.

Welcome Anna!

You know what, I immediately thought of Anna when I saw the thread title. And I was right!

Congrats Anna, and thanks Sarah Anne, we will miss your awesome modship!

Yay Anna! You’re going to be great!! Sarah Anne we will miss you- hopefully you’ll still join us for the occasional group read.

Thanks everyone! :)

Also, obviously, thank you Sarah Anne for your amazing work!

Welcome Anna! Thanks for all your great work with the group, Sarah Anne!

Thanks, Sarah Anne!

Congrats and good luck, Anna!

Thank you, Sarah Anne.

Anna, congrats on the mod promotion.

Aww, congrats Anna!! How cool! Sarah Anne, thank you so much for all your hard work!!! You'll still be around for discussions, right?!

Thank you Sarah Ann! and congrats Anna. I am looking forward to more of your Finnish point of view!

Welcome/congrats Anna. And thanks, Sarah!

Thank you Sarah Anne won't be the same without you!
Welcome and congrats Anna

So Does Anna have a secret Cat name like the other Moderators?

Thanks all! :)

I don't think I could ever have a cat name, but I'd accept a fox name.

Kitsune would work

Thank you Sarah Anne!

And thanks to Anna for agreeing to be the new mod, have fun!

Wait, we have secret cat names???

Are they secrets from us??

Welcome Anna!

And ciao Sarah. You are most awesome!

Hello, Allison, Sarah Ann and Anna!

Bienvenue to the new moderator et thanks to the "vintage" ones. ;)

Thanks for everything Sarah Anne, and congrats Anna!

Welcome Anna and thank you Sarah Anne!

Welcome to your new role!

Thanks, Sarah.

Hi Anna!

Old thread title: Modifying the Mods...Welcome to our new mod! Again!


Hi 2018! I miss you! You were a good time! ^_^

Speaking of good times, I've had many modding around this place! All good things come to an end, and I've been on my way out for a couple of years now. Just hanging on because I couldn't release my hold on The Spreadsheet! XD Also who would nag Allison to update things on the hour if I wasn't around? Who would snap at Ryan if a mod update wasn't done just so? Who would do quality control checks on the format of their links?! (Most importantly, who would make sure Mod posts enough in parentheses?)

After posting this, I will remove myself from the mod list, and we can all start 2025 fresh with the new mod team!

(My GR profile is private, but I'm on Discord and you can message me there if you find something that looks moddish and needs to be updated but was posted by me.)

And worry not, I will live forever in circadian heresy, even though my mod title goes!

(I'm a little sad I didn't make it a full 7777777 years as a mod, but I don't think the mod shack could take five of us for any longer!)

My time masquerading as a human woman has come to an end, it's time I take my rightful place as the foxy AI in another machine.

(The mods are betting on how long it takes before I meddle. I agree it won't be very long.)

Is that enough parentheses to last a while? I think so. (Adding one more for luck.)

Thank you everyone for letting me mod in your excellent company! I've had lots of fun ^_^

And thank you, Anna, for all of your pedantic mod guidance! It has been much appreciated.

I knew there was a good reason for checking updates.
Only love for Anna!

But who tell newbies, "Look, we already have a thread for that"? Who will remind all of us Mandalorians that "This is the way"?

Thank you Anna for all your work making SFFBC the best group on GR!

thankee for your time

Thank you for all of your work, time, effort, links, parentheses, and not the least, all of the laughs! You will be missed, and I wish you the best :)

Thank you, Anna! You will be missed.

Thank you Anna for your excellence in modding this esteemed book club!! All the best to you!!

Thank you for your dedication and all the work you put into this club! <3 I hope you can now free up some headspace and fill it with something (at least equally) fun and rewarding! I'm glad you're sticking around on discord to talk about books.

Thank you, Anna for all the time and love dedicated to the group! All the best in whatever you choose to do next.

Thank you, Anna!

Anna! Forever and always the foxiest mod SFFBC had, will ever have.

what is happening? who let this happen?

Excellent question!

Thanks, Anna, for all of the vulpine mods and for introductions to some amazing authors.

Thanks for everything Anna! We’ll miss you around here!

Thank you very much for all the help to those of us new to the community. You are the best!
