First, I'd like to offer my apologies to anyone who doesn't like superheroes or the Retcon universe for the utter spam of stories of late as I've built up to this, my first attempt at a real Retcon crossover storyline.

Sure, we've had cameos and brief crossings before now, but this is the big one I'd been leading up to for some time now. It's probably the most ambitious thing I've ever done as a writer, and the concept terrifies me. My Muse, however, remains confident (and crazy) as she eternally stands between me and sleep.

Yes, My second story is extremely short. The last lines say it all for me though. I have a feeling any future glimpses will be just as brief. I've never been too chatty.

Love,
Jonelle

Someone raided my PayPal account for $400. Paypal was suspicious so they flagged the transaction but NOT before charging my credit card. I contacted the seller and they have agreed to refund the charges so it will get resolved. Meanwhile I have to wonder who the heck got into my PayPal account and charged $400 against a social networking sites internal accounts.

As so many of you have pointed out to me from time to time I am in need of a good editor.

I'm looking for someone who can help me with my grammar and my vocabulary. I'm sorta lacking in both departments.

Thanks in advance,

I may not be on much today, there's thunderstorms and flashfloods predicted for this area from now till the early morning. We're pretty safe from flashfloods, there are arroyos either side of me to channel the rainwater away but lightning, winds or floods may take out the power. I'll be staying off line, mostly, till this blows over, using my laptop or phone to access the site.

Hugs,
Erin

This is so hard! Ontop of everything else, I just don't know what to do.

Mom went into my Brother's room awhile ago to get batteries so She could check my blood-pressure. She was concerned about the effect of my new antidepressants, as was I. Well, the pressure was O.K.,(though on the very low side), but a few minutes later my Brother came storming out of his room and slammed a bunch of batteries down on the table.

He was screaming about getting his own place as soon as he could.

I've been reading several comments about Assassin pertaining to Stan and not feeling the love. Several have said they can't feel empathy toward the boy. I'm sorry to pop that balloon, but Stan is an assassin. I'm sorry that some of my readers think that I'm not going in the right direction, but the story is what it is. A boy led adrift and he kills people. Yes he has many issues he hasn't dealt with and yes he's trying to be a patriotic citizen. The important thing to remember is that he's eighteen. Even if he had never been to Afghanistan he would still be immature.

For those like me who've been waiting with bated breath for the next Gabysode, the good news is Maddy has posted one. Click on the link.

How do I post Stories to Hatbox and what are the advantages?

Well, I'm going on a story that Lilith and I were co-writing. But she can't think of anything to do to it, so I'm finishing the story. It's coming, Batgirl/Catwoman retcon. But it going to take me a bit to finish it up. It's at 20 pages and growing now.

Don't despair, things will come.

Don't know if I'm going to be finishing the other series though. I have to just to wrap them up, but other than just tying up the hanging threads, I don't think I'll do much more. My Ninja Muse just isn't talking to me much anymore.

I Write Like by Mémoires,

Did I see the dress as a threat to my legacy, an insult to generations of men who fought wars and presided over propane grills? No, I honestly don't believe that a 4-year-old's Halloween costume has the power to cement his sexual identity for life. I was not threatened by fears of a same-sex, vegan wedding ceremony or a rejection of power tools and the Super Bowl. A far more immediate evil loomed in my magic mirror: children who mock other children.

I was informed that someone has been spoofing my IP address(s) here to badmouth other members of BC.

THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE ! and I do not apologize for shouting,

I may joke, I may kid others here -- ones I know well and who know me -- but I never have and hope I never will attack any one for being themselves or for what they post. I may not like things others might post but it is their post not mine, their opinion/taste not mine and it is not fair for me to criticize others except for when they attack me or someone else unfairly.

N.B. You may find it useful to read Born in a Watery Grave either before, during, or after reading this.

I just got the first half of part four back from my editor. Holly says she should be done with the second half in a few weeks. I'm going to post the first half, all twenty thousand words and will post the second half when it's ready. I'll try to get it posted by tomorrow at the latest, Arecee
