I had the sad duty to inform starbeam that his anti-campaign tactics failed utterly and he was selected as this month's Member of the Month. Who'd have thought that the threat of utter cookie deprivation was the way to win the hearts and votes of his fellow FWOers?

Who'd have thought indeed, my fellow FWOers should have taken the free cookies.

You have no one to blame but yourselves.

Quick! While the site is up! We drag our featured member of the month out of the wings and toss her the microphone -- please give a warm, swift congratulation to Michellelynn!

Fortunately fkurni was able to extract a bit more from her once the shock had worn off . 

Introducing our first Featured Member of the new decade, TheCaveman! Tracked down by Kukana, who reports that she found our resident Cro-Magnon using fire to char the ends of sticks so he could write stories on the walls of his cave.

Let's hear what other pre-historical mysteries she managed to unearth...

** UPDATE: TRANSCRIPT ADDED **

Cue the fanfare, clash the cymbols! Introducing our final Featured Member for the memorable year of 2009, interviewed *live and in person* by Bryce V. Giroux, skalds-and-shadows!

(Yes, Whackamatt, that means you have to hand over the MoM crown, thanks for taking such good care of it during your extended tenure). 

Please follow the link below to watch the very first filmed Featured Member interview. For those unable to view the recording, we now have a transcription of the interview (but really, do your best to find a way to watch -- it's *awesome*!)

Introducing the Featured Member for the month of October, and interviewed by our own lovely Erika, Whackamatt.

Well it’s about time everyone realized my greatness! lol. Just kidding! I figured I’d try and write the antithesis of the usual "What?!? Me?!?" acceptance speech.

Now for my response: *ahem*

What a perfect month to be MotM. My birthday is October 27th. Scorpio’s RULE.

September is the month for our beloved reviewing fairy -- Kukana. Congratulations, my dear!! Also, many thanks to Brynn for conducting this awesome insightful interview  

This proves one does not have to be a blabbermouth to get noticed. Congratulations, Kukana, on being selected Member of the Month for September!

It’s a pretty exciting feeling to get to join the list of MOMs. I love reading the featured member’s article and hope that my month won’t be too boring.

No longer just a pretty fairy, MissWrite is now FWO's Miss August and newest featured member. Congrats to you MW and welcome into the ranks of MOM's.

Who, wha-, me?  Is this a joke?  It’s got to be a joke.  Seriously?  Wow, first let me say how honored I am.  I never expected to even be nominated for MOM let alone actually be chosen.  I always thought I hung around on the periphery.  So, thank you very much.

July must be for body art and shoes, cause this month's Featured Member is the Tattoo Babe herself, StephyJH

And special thanks to Lenamilo for conducting this months interview...

Lena...

Never a fairy to get away, cause she will never be a fairy again , let me be the first to congratulate Brynn as our non-fairy of the month and FWO's newest Featured Member.

Welcome Brynn, the crown is yours.

Yay! Thanks to everyone who voted for me. You are all getting a gushy five star review on your next posted story! To those of you who didn't, well... Let's just say you'd better watch your grammar and syntax from now on.
