@Snoink is one of the few YWSers of whom I know their member number off the top of my head -- not just because she joined within the first six months of YWS, but because of her impact on the site. Whether it's her reviewing prowess, indefatigable energy, or SPEW, YWS is YWS because of Snoink!

Also, for those who don't know, YWS is the spiritual successor of TYWC, on which both of us were once active members (@niteowl is another still active TYWC refugee). So, she's been part of YWS since before the site even existed.

Thank you Snoink for being a member for 20 years!

@Nate I wasn't actually on TYWC, sorry. I was on writing.com, where you'd posted an ad on a teen writing forum.

Anyway, I'm a bit late, but I think this momentous occasion deserves an equally momentous gift! (I'll enspoiler this so it doesn't become overly long haha).

Oy, I recall Snoink from right off the first step. Snoink (and Griffinkeeper) were ubiquitous and...er, has it really been twenty years? 0_0;

Words are pale shadows of forgotten names. As names have power, words have power. Words can light fires in the minds of men. Words can wring tears from the hardest hearts.
