Just came home from church

Submitted by on

just came home from church. Not only a nice service on hungering for God, but a communion service, and they also gave me a healing oil and a prayer. I also got a chance to have a nice long chat with the minister's partner, and she's really cool. Finally, I have a church I can call home ....

Has something changed?

Submitted by on

Did anything change recently with the Topshelf software? I've been using firefox browser, with the down-them-all add-on to batch-download the new posts daily, so I could read them on my phone. The site was down on the 2nd March when I visited, and then when it came back, down-them-all no longer works. Does anyone else read the same way? Have you hit the same problem?

reverse wedding

Submitted by on

have you guys ever hear of a a reverse wedding? If I remember right, it was something that would take place the day before an actual wedding. They would take a married couple, have the girl put on a wedding tux and the guy a wedding dress, and do a usually funny version of the wedding ceremony.

anybody else hear of this idea?

What story on here can't you stop until you're finished?

Submitted by on

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?

Being Christina Chase | Chapter 49: Crash

Submitted by on

On the way back to Nina's room, Christina felt a mechanical rumble from the back pocket of her jeans. She took out her cell phone and saw that Richard was calling. She immediately froze, feeling a slight tightness in her chest. She was transfixed by the name on the tiny screen and was unable to move her fingers on the device before the call went to voice mail. Christina waited for the notification that indicated there was a new voice message, but it never came. Instead, there was a second rumble indicating that she'd just received a text message. She felt her stomach sink and it was though she'd temporarily lost her ability to differentiate up from down. She forced herself to read the message.

It read simply, "We should talk."

Looking for a story I read a few years back. A successful well-off bachelor has his life (and body) stolen from him by renegade witch with a grudge against men. Her coven rallies to help the new witch get back what was stolen monetarily as well as getting some revenge on the "new" him. Think I read it here but not sure.

A story got stuck

Submitted by on

and I'd like some help deciding what I should try to focus on until the other story gets free. I'm going to try to work on another story while this one germinates some more. If nothing else, even the discussion of what's in my queue may jar the current story free. Opinions welcome. Bear in mind, this isn't a democracy, so while I will listen to suggestions, I'll make the decision on my own.

Anyway, here's a preview of what's in the queue. What tickles your fancy about a next story priority?

Love The Voice

Submitted by on

A great many drag performers go for the grotesque. Jinkx Monsoon (a.k.a. Jerrick Hoffer) seems to go for the ironic. I'm pretty well impressed with the presentation (makeup, wig, outfits, etc.), but it's the voice that's most impressive.

I'm not sure why this upset me so

Submitted by on

Had a conversation with a friend the other day, and she mentioned how I looked when I am having a flashback - my face gets flushed, tears form in my eyes, and I get this "I'm not home" look. For some reason, finding this out shook me, I dont exactly know why ....

Summer with Em

Submitted by on

Sorry my last chapter was a bit hurried. I needed to show I took notice of readers who wanted more so it was just a quick catch up. I try to keep a standard that I set by 1 kudos per 10 readers for the first 500 who open my stories. But I still write around true life when I can since there are better writers for fantasy.
Glad I could respond and so more to come.

Kindle Release

Submitted by on

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.

Kindle Buffet Comics and Graphics novels

Submitted by on

Today's Kindle Buffet ends page 3 with 10 Comics and Graphics Novel books. It looks as if they are samplers and commentary, no9t so much actual stories, but I wanted to let people here know about them while there is still time to get them for $0.00.

Looking more closely, at least one of them has some actual comics.

Is it just me or do some blogs disappear before their time from the 'newstuff' page. You know, the page you get when you click 'more' under the recent blogs on the front page so you can look at older ones than the newest seven? Are people deleting their own blogs or do they get shuffled off before their time some how? I have noticed this happening to a number of different blogs in the past. Is it just me? am I going crazy?

Virginia in Bloom, Chapter 6

Submitted by on

Author's note: This story takes place during the last half of the American Civil War. The war has already turned against the South. The casualty rates have devestated families in many Southern communities. A draft has been instituted. Unless a family held a large number of slaves, every male able to hold a rifle was suddenly called to fight for the Southern cause. As the war drug on, boys as young as 13 and men as old as 65 were expected to fill the already depleted ranks of the Army of Northern Virginia.

The Angry Mermaid 56

I would first suggest that any readers read back to Chapter 55 just to pick up any loose threads and recollect the gist of this saga. basically, for any newcomers, The Angry mermaid is a story that describe's Drustina's many adventures as she tries to make her way home and recover her homelands from the Viking Pirates who stole it from her when she was only fourteen and lucky to escape with her/his life.

We pick up the story where Drustina has visited Brendigan to use her testimony to ensure the succession to the throne of Dame-mark and thus ensure a lawful peace amongst the Baltic and Scandinavian countries.

Wheels and wings 38

This is the final chapter of Wheels and wings. I am retuning to my earlier novel 'The Angry mermaid'

Mermaid is not complete yet but there are 67 chapters written so far, consequently I have decided to resume posting the chapters about one every three or four days.

Olympia Universe

Olympia Universe

So my plan is to eventually turn Olympia into something of a universe around Greek Gods myths, legends, and mythological creatures. I will add more detail to this as I go along. In general though you need to stick close to Greek myths or have the story be based off Greek myths in some way.

Revision History

Submitted by on

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.
