This isn’t going to be an overly emotional end of year post for two reasons: we’ll be here tomorrow, and writing a post slipped my mind until ten minutes ago.

This year definitely belonged to the consumers. You guys showed your strength by coming out in unheard of numbers in the fight against plagiarism.

We, writers, wouldn’t have made much headway without your unwavering diligence. Writers, not the publishers, asked for your help, and you were there for us.

That’s very humbling, indeed. Trust me, you folks sent a shockwave through the industry. Power to the people!

Through ups and downs, laughter and tears, bullshit and bliss, we pulled through 2011 together. The IRE family thanks you for your support and continued friendship.
 


Bring on 2012!!

That's for you, Cali! :)
