Quite a few readers on this site, myself included, tend to prefer completed stories to part completed serials, many of which will never be completed, so it would be good if there was an effective way of searching for Completed stories.

I've just finished my fourth go round with Randalynn's "No Obligation" I get sucked into it almost immediately and have to keep reading it until I'm finished. There are some others like that, but this is one I keep going back to and just love it.

Got me wondering what stories others have to read until they finish, no matter how many times they've read it before?

One year and ten weeks ago, the first thing that I had written, that I allowed anyone to read, was posted on this site. It was a poorly written short story full of punctuation, spelling and grammar errors that made reading it very difficult. Apparently, there was something in that story that caught the interest of a few people, as the offers for help and guidance started coming in from people that I had never met, and didn’t know.

Last week's New Scientist had a special issue on "The Self", and one of the subjects it tackles is the way the mind human scopes out the extent of our own bodies. They cite an experiment in which the subject's own hand is obscured, and an artificial hand placed in front of them. When the two hands are simultaneously stroked, the sub-conscious mind decides that the visible, artificial hand is part of its own body. Even though the subject consciously knows the hand is false, s/he experiences stress if the artificial hand is threatened.

I was rather disturbed to discover recently that all past revisions to any story are available for any logged-in reader to view. I suppose there might be some value in being able to see my own history, but I find it disturbing that others can also go through it. Even the best of us make mistakes at some time, and personally, I would rather such mistakes did not remain on public record. What is even more disturbing is that, like me, other authors may not be aware that such records remain publically on view.

Well I'm back to writing again. I'm taking it really slow, only a few hundred words at a time. Since my writers block morphed into a since of distaste anytime I tried to write I am trying to supplant this emotion by stopping my writing before I get to the point of feeling too frustrated. Hopefully this will help to get rid of the negative emotions by only feeling the pleasure of writing. I plan to keep adding more to my daily word count until I am back to where I was before.

Oh boy, have I been having a rough time. This is probably my longest stretch writing an episode, but I am please to announce to those who have been following "Angel" that the second half of Motherland is almost done, I am hoping to finish principle writing tomorrow, then spend some time closing gaps and a few re-writes before handing it over to the editors. This will be another long one almost 45 pages and continues with the situation unfolding in Star City, Russia.

Ok I don't know if you all have been wondering, but Everything's Sunny with Sarah isn't finished yet, but It will be sooner or later well book 1 anyway, However the story is on hold, Zoe and I are writing an RPG Game for Sarah called Sarah's Adventure. We also have help from Cassie as well, We are going to be using RPG Maker VX Ace to make the game so just about everyone will be able to play it, all versions of Windows, and most Older and Newer Processors will be able to handle the game. I'll try to keep everyone posted on the games progress as we make some.

Just published... Beginning's End - the sequel to Behind the Enemy is now available on Amazon Kindle.

Now I must publicly thank K T Leone as I cant seem to get a PM through ..... So KT thanks for the reply on your story and thank you for starting the shifting from Classic to here.. they wont let me PM you so sorry for the publicity, but you are a darn good writer & I thank you again

Firstly I would like to thank everyone who has taken the time to read my work. I really, really appreciate it and hope I can keep you all interested.

As I was writing my latest, I originally intended that the protagonist would become the daughter of his lover, who he looked on with more motherly affection than physical love. My editors convinced me otherwise, and I think they were correct; I liked the ending more. But I still have the "stuck as a girl" ending as a preference - sometimes.

I think I've lost all semblance of control over my latest story

I would like to say that because of the IOC decision to remove wrestling from the Olympics that I will not be posting any parts of the story this weekend, but that would be a lie (but would make it sound like I have ethics).

A quick check on my account confirmed my suspicions. You lot have been very generous with your bestowing of kudos on me and my two feline helpmates - now before someone spoils it all by saying it was a sympathy vote - I can reveal that I now have the magic number of kudos in six figures, no not six kudos, but 100,000. Given that the kudos system didn't start until Bike was a couple of hundred episodes or more old, your generosity is overwhelming.

Thank you all for your generosity, if you keep it up I might yet write something worth reading.

Hugs,

Angharad.

Hi everyone,

I need help for my most recent story. Well, technical help. My protagonist is essentially a she-male (I know many hate the term, but I don't know a better one) and I figure he'd have troubles wearing girls' jeans. I need to know if you can actually squeeze your nuts if you don't do it right and what you need to do to avoid it.

Ok have a quick question regarding the american schooling system,mainly what grades etc relate to the age of the student.

Many Thanks

Dear fellow readers:

Caelarus was a very interesting and sometimes romantic story. I would say that the level of plausability is very high. It is 190 pages; a full book, not what some people who sell e books call them. I think the writing was very good in spite of the fact that I sometimes struggled to see who was talking.

There are lots of different settings and several Sci Fi theories that bear some thought.

I tried doing some writing again today and didn't get very far. Just sitting down and looking at the word document gave me a gut deep sense of revulsion. Like looking a mountain of house work when all you really want to do is something fun, only stronger. A real sense of repugnance for the whole thing. Has anyone else ever had that kind of feeling when they tried to write?

I'm just finishin up the first draft of week 10 of the next Eerie Saloon story.
