Hello everyone it is me here. I don't know if anyone noticed but I posted a story here a few months ago. I thought it was a good start at a long serial but my muse went away so progress stoped. I am sorry if anyone is upset. Well he returned from where ever he went to :) but now he seems to want me to take another direction. I have another idea for a story but I need some advice on it so I will give a few details. There was a good cartoon I used to watch way back in the 80s about a supercomputer that could project holographic images anywhere.

The highest day ever in terms of visitor and the second highest in terms of pages at 43,739. (We had one freak day last February with just over 50,000 page downloads because of several site reapers running at once).

But 13,658 visitors is more than twice the number of visitors on October 31, 2008. A few days later FictionMania went down and BC began a runaway traffic inflation. So fast that Bob and I have spent a lot of the last three and a half months trying to keep the server from crashing on a nearly daily basis.

If anyone wants a series they have finished converted to PDF or into LIT format I'm willing to do the work.

I don't know if it has been mentioned here but Gabyzone is up and running again.

A work colleague linked to this today. For some reason, more than other stories of this type, it's just left me feeling so sad and angry. I bet those parents think they're such good Christians.

Ok, I am loving all the comments for my stories and I am enjoying writing. My question to you dear readers is which story sequel would you like to see first.

Just found this Wikipedia article on Fictionmania:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fictionmania

For anyone who doesn't know the history of the site, it's quite informative. One can't help noticing, though, that in its current form, it reads rather like the obituary of a well-loved senior statesman or other notable person.

Let's hope it needs amending soon, and because Fictionmania rises from the ashes.

So I've posted my third story, it's imcomplete but I needed to post what I had to intice readers in giving me ideas on how to continue. Also it gives me time to start the sequil to "My life in a dress" and "Matt's Dilemma".

I am really amazed and quite thankful that Erin and Bob were able to do this whole move and reconfiguration thingie and have it all work so soon.

Thank you very much.

Angel and I were chatting and I was telling her about my Kelly's Journey, she challenged me to complete one of her unposted stories. Well, I accepted the challenge, then she challenged me to add the emotions to my characters. The challenge was to finish the story and make the characters real and make your readers "FEEL" the story.

I just posted Part 5 of my novel, Standing Up to Life. I will be posting the final part, Part 6, tomorrow night sometime. Just thought I'd put the word out there in case it gets buried in a flood of entries tonight :-). Thanks for reading!

I have to say that I've noticed lately that a lot of authors have been putting more work into the
presentation aspects of stories. Geoff and I were talking last night about this very thing.
