I guess my comment about Eve was removed. I was just expressing an opinion that was not meant to to be offensive. I was just frustrated about being teased so much about the story. Just when you think the answers would finally come. It just got frustrating. If I offended, I'm sorry. As an author, I believe in getting to a point in a story and not dragging something out too long. I have seen too many Soap Operas milk a plot line too long sometimes and it gets to be frustrating after a while. I never wanted to hurt anyone's feelings. I just love the story a lot. I was just being sarcastic!

I've said repeatedly over the past few months that I'm not an author, and I doubted I'd ever be one.
Yet somehow, after not writing a word of fiction since High School (~1993), my mind has evidently decided that's long enough.

Go through your story list, and make sure all of your one-shot, solo stories are marked as such!

When the update that allowed stories to be set as either series or solo was put on the site, the default setting is series. If you want your solo stories to be able to be grabbed by the "Five Random 5olos" feature (which is pretty awesome), then go through all your solo stories real quickly and make certain that that ARE marked as solos!

I should just take a breath, shut up, buy a gag, stick my head in a bucket, get a whippen, be locked up, dominated, and get over myself!

Sorry for my sorry assed, bratty out burst.

I'm looking for a new home ... For Sephrena.

Everything will be shutdown as soon as i can arrange it - this is due to piracy of the gabyzone and lack of interest in the chatroom

I have a curse.
How do I heal my brokenheart?
I can love yet I can not be loved.
I search for it the world over,
Yet it can not find me I am unloved!
My heart breaks with every step!
When I think I found it my heart breaks again.
I scream out in pain while noone can hear my agony.
When I am on the threshold of giving up,
You appear before me out of the blue,
I made you cry and you made me feel loved.
The curse is broken! I thank you as I weep tears of joy.

Hi, everyone!

It's time to start the 2009 Terry Awards. Actually, I'm a little late starting them but the first half of January has been very eventful. I'll be progressing slowly too, because I'm very busy these days.

for your condolences and kind thoughts. Your tender messages have helped ease their pain a bit, and for that, I thank you all as well.

Appears to have become the most viewed story on this site, according to Popular Content, with well over 32,000 hits.

I know Karen J joked about having hit on it 28,000 times on a slow night, but as long as she read it each time - it's one of my better efforts - I don't mind.

A friend sent me an email which says:

You don’t dare miss this amazing Video Clip . . . but, first, read this properly, all the way through…

This video shows the winner of "Ukraine’s Got Talent," Kseniya Simonova, 24, drawing a series of pictures on an illuminated sand table showing how ordinary people were affected by the German invasion during World War II. Her talent, which admittedly is a strange one, is mesmeric to watch.

The images, projected onto a large screen, moved many in the audience to tears, and she won the top prize of about  £75,000.

Good Evening ALL,

I am in need of an editor or two. I have two stories actively being worked on, one a Serial Comdex...(eight chapters, 3-5 more) and the other a much shorter story, "Between Christmas and Hell."

What I'm looking for in an editor:
1) Someone who will smack my nose with a newspaper and say no no no! Bad Writer
In other words someone who isn't afraid to make suggestions or tell me I'm wrong!
And then won't get bent out of shape if I don't always take their suggestions.

I've been out on disaster relief twice before; to Honduras after Hurricane Mitch. Of course that was 12 years ago, and I've had a broken back since. Still, I get around OK, and I'm only 63. I't thinkin I'd leave the Hijab and skirts at home. I am still a very good electrician and for me it comes down to my personal freedoms as opposed to a clear need. I'm thinking I'll make a couple calls tomorrow to see what develops. It would be a financial stretch for me, but I just feel driven.

My best friend Tina's, Granddaughter died suddenly, at the age of three months. I don't know how long the process and everything is going to take, but my place is with her right now. Forgive me, and please say a prayer for little Tehya (Tay-uh)
