| I'm a fan of Beauty and the Beast since I came to know this series. I was 11yrs. old when it was telecast here in Manila, Philippines. I'm still a fan until now! (",) |

| I came late, and had to leave early, but I enjoyed the time I did spend at Winterfest immensely! The Daily Challenge and Daily Question were a lot of fun! Everyone did such a splendid job putting it all together. I loved the new games, too! Thank you all! I can't wait until next year! :D |

| Hi again. I wrote about my chocolate cheese nuggets, and it was solved! And I finally DID make it to the treasure chamber. Whoa, that was QUITE a treasure. I liked the nice and tidy AND the "naughty" treasure. It was fun. I raised my arms in victory, when I realised, I had made it to the treasure. I am looking forward to the next Winterfest. Trust me..."I'll be back!" ;-)

| This years Winterfest was my first and I will never ever forget how special it was. Thisis now my favorite holiday. :) Everything was absolutely amazing and well put together. Many many thanks to the WCM. The videos were wonderful, the writing, the games...To Chan: Found the pic and it was very well done. I love your work. Keep it up hun! I was amazed by all the talent as well from our family. I had so much fun with you all and am so glad for all the new people I've met. I cannot wait until next year! |

| I have to say, I have been to all the WFOL's and they just keep getting better.
To all the Wintercandle Makers, who spent months cussing and discussing, writing and rewriting, asking, begging, and threatening to get submissions, for all the reminders sent to lists, all the lost sleep, and internet heroics, for the wonderful, sweet, hearts of each of you that make it possible for us to gather from around the world and celebrate not only this show, but this fandom that has become family for so many of us...
::deep breath::
I love you, I respect you, and I wish I could be some of you when I grow up. I ache to be able to contribute more and know that I can't and may never be able to.
You share your time, your talents, your sleepless nights, your abilities to reach out into cyber-space and snag lost chatters and deliver them into YM. You patiently give directions to treasure hunters that don't even speak your language, and celebrate with them when they reach the prize.
You, the Wintercandle Makers are my heros!!! |

P.S. That surprise in the Bathing Chamber was great! ;) |

Thank you for all the hard work, it shows! A particular thank you for the special effort made for translation, this year. As a foreign webmaster and listmom, it has made the task of "leading the French fans through the dark" much easier for me! |

| Hi!
I really enjoy Vinterfest Online. But I have a BUT, when it comes to the treasure hunt! It is on Sigma's page; when I try to write chocolate cheese nuggets, that Joe is eating, it says "wrong!"
As far as I remember, it WAS chocolate cheese nuggets, that Joe was eating in one of the episodes. Cathy says, her headache was going to move to her stomach, if he kept eating those. Which I DO understand.
I truly LOVE this winterfest and the many things one can do here...but as I mentioned; I really would like Sigma's page to be a bit more cooperative. :-) |

| OK calmed down a bit now. So I apologize if I sounded a bit harsh in my last guestbook entry. I do appreciate all the hard work that goes into every Winterfest, including this one; and, there is a lot of good stuff here, as there is with every Winterfest. No other fandom has people willing to undertake such a monumental task and I do thank you for that, along with I guess just about everyone else in the fandom; but, it is true that this year I found the site especially hard to navigate and the site map confusing. Same thing goes for the Treasure Hunt, but then again maybe I wanted things to be too easy, and Yahoo Messenger Instructions I felt could have been plainer. What I needed was specific, not what to me was general, instructions on how to join the group. And what happened to the role playing chat. It was supposed to be in the Simple Chat Room at noon, but I went there and no one was there. I did not hear of any time change. Was I the only one who showed up or did I somehow missed news of a change even though I do subscribe to the wfol group? |

| What a wonderful week! I found everything very well thought through and easy to work through. The Treasure Hunt was great, challenging, but great! The fiction was well written and enjoyable to read. The Art and graphics were good too. Can't wait until next year. |

| Han sido maravillosos los días que me he pasado enganchada a la página. Es alucinante que habiendo pasado tanto tiempo haya nostalgicos como yo, y como otros que son más listos que yo, que mantengamos vivo el recuerdo de esta serie maravillosa. Espero expectante a ver si algun día se atreven a sacar la serie, aunque sea en ingles con subtitulos en español, ya que he perdido la esperanza de que la saquen en castellano, y ya no pienso que la saquen en euskera. Con la esperanza de que aunque sea en ingles pueda disfrutar de la susurrante voz y la fuerte personalidad de Vincent, me despido y os agradezco que me hayais hecho pasar estos días maravillosos. |

I'm sorry that I haven't had the chance to participate as I'd like to, but I'm amazed at all of the wonderful things the WF committee has pulled together. Congrats, everyone! And happy Winterfest! |

| Thanks so much for this event. I only just got reacquainted with Vincent and Catherine after all these years when I discovered the first season on DVD last spring. And much to my wonder, I found that there are all of you folks all around the world who have kept it alive all these years. Wish I'd found you sooner. This is wonderful! |

| Personally, I always look forward to the Treasure Hunt more than almost anything each year. I'm loving this one a lot so far! I've gotten as far as finishing Annick's pages and have book marked it so I can continue tomorrow. I haven't found as much time to spend on Winterfest this year as I'd like to, but love the fact that the games etc. will go into archive mode so if I don't get them all done now I can visit them anytime and finish them up. : )
I don't do chat simply because I don't think fast enough to do so but I admire those who can do it. I know I'm missing out on some great, enlightening conversations.
I look so forward to Winterfest each year and congrats to the whole committee involved. You've surpassed yourself, again!
Thanks so much for all the hard work, long hours and for "keeping the dream alive" for us! |

1/19/2008 2:16:25 PM |
| You explained the obvious about YM, but not really how to get into the voice chat. So I failed. You have to consider that some of us are not computer illiterate. Know how to install, what not to click and what to uncheck; but don't normally bother with chat because we find it deficient in intelligent conversation. By that I mean the best conversation is when people have time to think about their replies.
But to get into things like voice chat, we need step by step instruction, because this is something we never do. Partially my fault, I thought I could figure it out. Couldn't. Better instructions next time please.
Also I haven't got all day to bother with a Treasure Hunt like that presented this year. Some I know enjoyed it, still are enjoying it. I found it a pain.
I hate Internet Explorer. I object to any page which requires Internet Explorer. Fewer of these pages next time.
Needless to say, I haven't particularly enjoyed this Winterfest. I hate to complain, but you can't improve unless you hear about some of the things some of us didn't like.

Thank you, candlemakers, for taking the time to pull this all together and espcially for sharing your tremendous talents with all of us. Winterfest is truely a bright spot in an otherwise bleak time of the year and one that I always look forward to with great anticipation. |

| Alucinante. Sois como una droga. Tengo que conectarme todos los días a ver las novedades, a ver las imagenes otra vez, a ver que nuevo juego hay... Es alucinante todo el material que todavía se puede encontrar. La pena es que para las personas que hablamos español no tengamos la posibilidad de comprar las 3 temporadas de la serie, aunque sea en ingles, pero con subtitulos en castellano, ya que la única versión en el mercado está completamente en ingles sin subtitulos. |

Just as the Con's seem to get better and better, everyone i go to... the ladies outdid themselves yet again on Winterfest!!! Looks incredible in here. Lets hear a round of applause and raise a toast to our Winterfest crew!
So..... HAVE FUN..... everyone!!!! Happy Winterfest!!!! |
