Just popping in to say how delighted I am to see such happy joyful posts from the two latest winners ........... brilliant news :cheer:

Well I've decided to chill out about the whole thing now B) . I've taken the competition far too seriously in ALL respects because ,I can't deny it, it would have been the chance of a lifetime to spend time with Will in such a informal situation. I freely admit I misunderstood Will's intentions about giving fans from his website ( and not the entire Sun readership) an exclusive chance to meet him at such a special event and I admit to being annoyed that I didn't think the first lot of entries could possibly have been 'the best' submitted, when some didn't even answer the question, but, that aside, I AM being comforted by the latest winner coming forward to explain his/her devotion to Will What is bugging me though is how website fans have such a poor reputation for bitchiness and for being cliquey. :( My heart sank to my boots when I read Roobedoo's post on the OS :( Of course fans who choose not to post on the sites are not lesser fans, most people would accept that, but when the opportunity is there in front of you to SHARE in Will's career, and interact with fellow fans, then I don't think they realise quite what they're missing out on, by staying 'in the wings'. We have our squabbles, that's true, but the fun we've had and the friendships made ( not cliques :angry: )on the sites overrides any of the upsets, a thousand times. I'm coming round to the theory that maybe 19 out of every 20 members don't feel inclined to post on the sites, and this would explain why nobody knows a winner! I had in my mind that by the law of averages we WOULD have a winner who posts, so , again, I got that wrong too, evidently :rolleyes: Ignorance i.e. not realising so many fans were silent, in this case, does tend to breed suspicions, and I still think it was understandable for some of us to be worried that Will might not get 'genuine' fans at his party. If I was lucky enough to be invited as a guest I would never dream of not coming back to the sites and saying SOMETHING about the evening, even if all I could remember was the colour of Will's shirt! I've grown up with a sharing mentality in the two communities in the past 5 years and , as fantastic as it would be on a personal level, I know how much it would mean to the site fans to share just a little in the experience. As for what I would hope to hear from any reports coming back from the dinner........ what was on the menu, Will's ideal dinner guests, an ESTIMATED album release date , or an idea of what he gained from his Vortex acting experience, if he's working with any different writers etc ...Oh I don't know, but nothing that would be a state secret!!! He must be expecting questions of that nature, surely........ it's unrealistic to think they'll all be talking about the price of fish or whatever and avoiding anything work related, isn't it?! :rolleyes:

I think it looks like this weeks winners have been justly rewarded for effort they've put into their entries this time. A much better thought out set of answers imo....as if I would know anything about winning competitions!! :D Still don't know who anyone is though :( ......maybe they've been subjected to a vow of total secrecy ;) The 'law of averages' where we must surely know one or two members willing to share some of their experience with us isn't working very well in our favour yet, is it? :(

Hiya........thanks for nice welcome. I'd put in a smiley emoticon here if I could work out which little face is smiling...they all look a bit tipsy and cross eyed to me!! Maybe that's a requirement of posting here lol!! :w00t: Looking forward to regular visits....... Suggy looks familiar for starters :cheer: I'm hopelessly DEVOTED too :D
