Thanks everyone.

FROM CATHY: Sorry for the delay in posting this chapter. A computer problem is to blame, but all is fixed and here we go!

An incident prods our heroes to jump into action. Chapter 9 will follow very soon, I promise.

Reckoning -7- We ain't highlanders...we're better!

The heroes are all in one place. Can serious action be far behind? It might get bumpy from here!

Reckoning -6- Getting The Band Together

The Heroes have finally all met. They know their powers. Can they find the threat that will end the world? Stay Tuned! Shirt_Template_Road.JPG

Lady of the Lake

I am the Lady of the Lake. I tempt, I attract, I play. I am death in a beautiful guise. What you wish, I am, I will be, and will give you pleasure as you've never known. I will make your dreams come true.

Reckoning -4- The Heroes Revealed

We get more descriptions of the heroes and how they feel about being "Gifted" and descriptions of their powers.

Reckoning -2- Awakenings 3 and 4

Two more newly created heroes make their appearances. Read their backstories

Reckoning -1- Awakenings 1 and 2

The Earth has reached a crossroad. Destruction could be immanent. Can a Rookie band of newly created heroes stave off Doomsday? Chapter 1 of a collaborative effort by several Top Shelf writers will begin to explore this dilemma. Introduction of the heroes and their powers will be the first couple of chapters. Writers are: Catherine Linda Michel, Grover, Ariel Strickland, Erin Halfelven, Maggie Finson and Scotty, "Voice Of Reason" Bishop.

Comments.

They can be a good thing, and a bad thing, you know.

And no, not the ones I get.

I recently commented on a story that hurt someone I regard quite highly, though it wasn't meant to do that. I regret that. A lot.

You know who you are. I don't expect you to come and tell me it's okay, because it isn't.

All I ask is the you find it in your heart to forgive me in time. Not right now, or in the next few weeks or months. Just in time.

The upshot here is to let all of you know to consider what you say in comments very carefully before you post them.

Death is not the End

Thanks to EOF for coming up with this particular bit of madness. Since I tend to have a weakness for vampires, when the offer came to do a story here I of course jumped right in.

I'l warn you the first chapter is a lot of the setting up, history and all the exposition that takes. Future chapters will be more personal where Carmilla is involved.

This could be a treat or a trick. Your choice there. I'm glad I got it done on the day it was meant for. There was some doubt about that given how RL has been with me lately. *grin* But here it is, my offering for Halloween and for the very first time, posted on the actual day!

I hope you all enjoy it.

But don't want the job?

That is the dilemma that Dahlia faces in the next set of chapters of A Walk in the Dark.

Feel free to give suggestions or just make fun of it here.

Thougts on Spectre.

For those of you who have followed Shades of Grey, thank you. Thanks for the comments, the speculation, the arguments about justice vs vengeance, and mostly just for staying with me through the whole, largely uncomfortable story.

It has been noted that I never did say what my idea of justice is through the whole thing. No, I didn't and I won't do that here. I don't do politics, since in my experience, discussions like that tend to result in lots of arguments and bad feelings. Everyone has their own sense of justice, and nothing anyone else says is going to change that, right?

We just had another new addition to our family. I never thought I'd have children, let alone grandchildren, and now I have great grandchildren. Go figure. Though the father of my great grandchildren got started a bit early (I won't be sixty till later this year) I discover that in spite of the difficulties in my life I have been truly blessed.

One of my pet peeves

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

Author: 

I watch a lot of movies, okay it's one thing I do to just relax.

But the thing here is, why, why do the women in those always keep their high heels on?

A real woman (and me when I was going through RLT) would get rid of them in a heartbeat if they had to move quickly, quietly, or were in the wilderness.

Sorry, was just watching a movie where both female leads kept wearing their heels in a damned jungle.

And I know, I know, it's sexy and all that. But come on here.

Characters.

Hi all.

Recently, I've been asked more than once about how I go about creating my characters. I have the file in my HD, but thought it would just be easier to put it here so anyone who likes can see it rather than sending it to every individual who asks. Do feel free to argue points, suggest changes, additions, whatever.

But this is the way I go about creating characters.

Now, without further histrionics, here is my own character template.

A few thoughts on Spectre

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

Author: 

First off, to all of you have stuck with me through this dark and rather disturbing story, thank you. I know it isn't always easy to read, and trust me at times it isn't easy to write. I do appreciate all of you who have even at least looked at the story so far, and to those of you who have commented, do keep them coming. Comments give me ideas, and show me what I should do to clear things up storywise so what's happening is understandable to the readers.
