Rarely does my heart ever stop (since I'd be dead), but it skipped a beat this morning when I received a phone call and e-mail telling me HPANA was selected as JK Rowling's newest "Fan Site Award" winner
on her official web site.
Rowling says of HPANA:
I'm humbled and proud beyond words, and would be remiss not to give thanks to the wonderful people who helped create, work on, and contribute to this little site that has grown so much in just two years: So, to Geri and Scott, and forum moderators Natalie, Lamar, Marc, Kendra and Renee, and all our alumni/previous staff members: Great work, congratulations and thank you for your dedication to making HPANA worthy of such an incredible distinction from the author of Harry Potter herself.
I think I speak for all of us when I say we have much to live up to and will continue to do our best. Thank you, Jo, from the bottom of my heart!

Congratulations Jeff and all of the moderators! I cannot say with words how delighted and proud I am that HPANA finally attained the Fan-Site award from J.K. Rowling that it definitely deserves. The amount of toilsome work you put into the site, how friendly you've been to all the members, how organized you maintain the site -- basically everything about the site -- justifies this. I agree wholeheartedly with J.K. Rowling that HPANA is one of the most incredible, most unique, most compelling, most user-friendly, most creative of all the fan-sites imaginable.

Congrats, HPANA! You guys deserve it. All HP fansites do, really. Anyone who is this dorky and obsessive needs something to show for it! I especially like the house points system thing (even though I'm still a muggle, but I just joined a couple days ago, so I'll get there eventually.) By the way, how do you get points for doing things besides posts?
