Future Story Snippets

Submitted by on

Author: 

Since the last tranche of chapters are taking longer than expected, I thought I would share a three snippets. Until published things might change but these I'm sure won't

Snippet 1:
As they normally did when about to discuss something private, David ran the bug detector on his special phone. As he walked around the room, the screen turned red.
"Are you sure you want to study in here?" asked Helen, after seeing the warning. "It's such a nice day. Wouldn't it be better to study outside?"

Deleted Chapter

This follows on from Part 63. The day after the commitment ceremony.
Events in this were mentioned in several later chapters. I didn't include it as I thought it might have been a distraction. On reflection I think it does add something, so rather like Blu-ray disks sometimes contain "deleted scenes" I thought this would be a good way to share it – after the event.

Another mystery is how the students are selected and paired. Part of that process is a selection committee, whose membership includes the headmaster and the support staff. This Interlude doesn't address the entire mystery, but it does show some of the inner workings of the committee.

Hayfield Hall: Interlude-04

By: Annette MacGregor & Karen Page


As seen in A New Style of Education (in July of 2005) Rachel Ruiz is the Head of the Support Staff, and the previous year (as seen in Hidden Gifts), Kate Mayhew was head. What happened? Another staff change occurred at the same time. Dr. Sue only recently became the primary internist for the school. What happened to cause this change? Did something happen last year to cause this staff change? Was the change voluntary? I wrote this interlude to rationalize, in my mind, why some people in important positions might leave without jeopardizing the school — And, in the case of Rachel, lay the groundwork (in my mind) for why they recruited a new Head, rather than promoted from within.

Hayfield Hall: Interlude-02

By: Annette MacGregor & Karen Page

Since first reading the stories about Hayfield Hall, questions have been there about where the staff came from, how they are selected, and other similar points. One example is Dr. Rachel Ruiz. We know she was NOT staff at the school in 2004 and that Kate Mayhew held her position, but by the beginning of A New Style of Education, Dr. Ruiz was established. This interlude doesn't describe how that came to pass, but it does address some of the questions, at least in part. Originally written half in jest, this interlude is included for those readers that may have also had some of these questions.

Plagiarism and Copyright

As an author, one thing I would hate, and so would probably everyone else who writes on here, is someone copying your work. Indeed, I remember before there was a discussion regarding this June 2008.

However, one thing that I've noticed recently is that some people don't seem to think this applies to images. Some people have been good and if they use something under "fair use" they do then acknowledge the copyright owner. Heck, I am aware of one author who went as far as licencing the images they used.

Some people though don't appear to even be abiding by the "fair use" rule, and using complete pictures from other people's websites. Like people on this site spend a lot of time writing stories, some people have spent a lot of time creating images. I personally feel it is double standards to get upset if someone copies somebody elses writing, but then copy other person's imagery work. And to top it all off, even if they thought it was covered under "fair use", there is no acknowledgement of the image owner.
