John Scalzi has announced that his contract with AOL runs out at the end of this year and is not being renewed, as he moves on to devote more time to his award-winning writing elsewhere. Please help us thank him for over four years of his humor and helpfulness to all of us with AOL Journals and to the greater blogging community. Leave your comment below, and we will include it in the next new entry. If you've written a tribute on your own blog, leave us the link and we'll pass it on.
Also, please see the entries below for more reasons to appreciate Scalzi, and more ways to join in the celebration. Thanks!

THANKS AGAIN JOHN FOR EVERYTHING. sam -
Dear John,
I have written a tribute to you in my blog Interface. I do invite other bloggers to add onto it. I have linked it to you announcement in November in By The Way.
I learned so much from you. You have always been there for Jland; building laughter, making bridges, teaching us how to blog.
It is sad because we have met each other at your site as bloggers and we have bugged and outbugged each other there!
We have enjoyed the photo challenges sooooo much!You have inspired many people to work on their craft and to share it!
We have loved hearing about your wonderful family and we will miss Krissy and Athena too very much!
We have enjoyed reading your books and we hope that you will keep us apprised of new publications coming up!
We will sorely miss you and we can only say: Thank you so much! Please come back and visit us from time to time; as we will miss you.
Yours Truly, Lurkynat

I've been here with you since almost the very beginning. I remember way back when we were a tiny little community. One of our most loved bloggers back then (Slomo) wrote an entry saying something about you being our friend even though she knew you couldn't comment on our journals because you worked for AOL. You became "real" to all of us back then when you surprised us with leaving a comment on that entry. We all really loved that and you have been "one of us" ever since. You will be greatly missed John. All the best to you and your family. Martha

I can't even imagine JLand without you. I've learned so much not only about things you wrote about but also about myself doing your weekend assignments and photo shoots. I can honestly say you've helped me grow and I thank you!
You will be soooo missed.
Promise
