Dear Belletristica,

Of course we want to congratulate you for your 9th anniversary today.

Did you believe that such a small idea will become such a wonderful and great community? That fights together against the winterdemons, stands writer's blocks and is always looking for new ideas that really make this place a home for your stories.

That home isn't just made of lines and words, it's made of emotions and dreams. Who would think, that because of such a small idea, friendships could be made? Connections for a whole life?

That its the start of masterworks, gives his villagers the trust to grow about themselfs and even makes them taking the step of publishing their works?

The true magic of Belletristica aren't the fairies, the chaotic glitchcube or the mystery of the "lurkers bar", it's the persons that bring it to life. It aren't only Ben, Sebi and the fairies, it's you and me, it's everyone.

And to those people we want to say that we will carry the nine years of Belletristica in our hearts, so we also have an anniversary next year that we can celebrate.

So we can say: 10 years of Belletristica.

It may sound utopian, but isn't it the spirit of Belletristica to make the impossible possible? To make small and big wonders? To give hope?

The fire of Belletristica will always burn in our hearts and will never die.

Let's celebrate, let's hope! For Belletristica and ourselves!

Maybe it will be a bit different of how we know it, but in our hearts, Belletristica will still be like at it's first day. A wonderful idea that unites people.

Full of thank and hope we raise our glasses - Your S.T. Team.
