The Academy of Young Riders Fanatics

Proudly yields the 1999 Award for Verbal visualization to

JOANNA

Hereby Joanna is rewarded with an honorary Master's Degree at the Academy of Young Riders Fanatics (AYRF). The Scene that conveyed the Award that expresses the admiration for her work is;

"Jimmy approached the scene and leaned against a tree, folding his arms across his chest. He studied Lou carefully, smiling broadly as she laughed at her own attempts to learn the dance.

Then his smile slowly faded as he really looked at her.

Her hair was turned to copper in the firelight, and her eyes glittered with the reflection of the fire. There truly was fire in her, he realized. She was made of fire and had the uncontrollable spirit of fire. He nearly shivered as she moved freely to the primitive music, forgetting her shyness as Curly led her confidently in the dance and as she felt the drive of the drums. She was breathtaking, Jimmy thought. Full of grace and life.

And love, but for another man…"

Excerpt from the story Captives

Beth nominated Joanna and is thus Yielded an Award for outstanding skill in Talentspotting. Her motivation for the nomination was;
I love the scene when Jimmy sees Lou dancing around the Indian bonfire to the beat of the drums, in traditional garb.  I can picture it clearly.

AYRF congratulates both the AWARDwinner Joanna and the outstanding Talentspotter Beth for their splendid work in creating and promoting TYR fanfiction.
