I'm dredging up the old stories but my memory won't cooperate. College student is moving into an apartment and meets two of his new neighbors, two girls. Various things happen and they end up a triad. Guy goes girl, which means as a would-be engineer she has to prove herself to her coworkers. Working for an engineering firm, she saves the day when new stress detectors of her own design detect that a city bridge is going to give way soon. The old design detectors weren't picking up the problem, but with the new detectors they have enough time to prevent any injuries and damage.

I'm looking for help in locating a story that featured "LC", a young Australian who'd taken on the persona of a reclusive actor. His/her experiences contributed to redefining / enhancing the actor's image. I'd love to re-read and update her adventures!

Hi everybody! My name is Jamie, and I am one of the minions behind the scenes here. If you see Erin mention one of the crew being sick and in the hospital, chances are it is me.

I just got a feeding tube placed, and will be moving in to long term care in the next few days, so I am hoping that I can be more productive there.

I have a few ideas that might help me help the team, so I'm wondering if some of you might be able to assist.

Well here we are again.

So Hurricane Callum has reached even GOC this weekend, not nice even with just the fringe, best wishes go to everyone suffering more acute symptoms than a stiff breeze and a few puddles.

Looking for more stories. Just have a snippet of a scene for each one so these are going to be tough. I'm revisiting my younger days and reading all the stories I enjoyed then.

Indeed, none of your foreign Frikadel today just pure 100% beef (?) Hamburger!

Sorcerer's Marks and Morpheus' "The Academy" which I am reading again thanks to Carpe Diem's blog entry 'Looking for a story'

While reading "The Academy" the MC is discovered to have a Sorcerer's Mark

This reminded me of a similar story of a magic academy, but this one was more of a Summer School\Camp, one of the MC's friends is a goth and her 'SYMBOL' (for want of a better term as I can't remember what the story called them) was a "Jack O Lantern"

News from Maddy!

So here I am - sat outside a restaurant in Nordlingen eating Gnochi Gorgonzola and drinking beer, wearing shorts and sandals as it's into the 20's c!

My stint as Nena, tour guide is 80% over as we fly home tomorrow. We've had a day doing the Roman Limes (think Hadrian's Wall but longer) around Aalen, yesterday we went down to the Donau for a Keltische visit and today has been the hillfort of Ipf before an afternoon here in the Ries crater at Nordlingen.

I think it may have been part of a recent contest!

Family of Mechanics\Engineers in rural US, youngest child of one branch of family becones introverted after beating from father and self imposed mute

Group of bullies (middleschool i think) drag the child into the restroom intending to give a beating. BIG MISTKE

Can't remember more

Actually, two stories.

One is similar to the Maddy Bell 'Nena' stories. A young man who looks a lot like his feckless sister gets sucked into substituting for her as a guide in a package ski tour in Europe. She is successful in the job but does confess to her manager./ All works out well, including her sister who manages to marry a rich American from LA or Los Vegas.

Just a general call for anyone who wishes, I will proofread items that are being submitted to the Hatbox!
PM me to work out details.

Wealth is not material things nor money.

That I wasn't able to post a new chapter today - my day trip was something i'd pretty much forgotten about but I really wanted to do.

What was it I hear you ask? Well for those who do history, specifically English history, I spent the day doing Richard III, Bosworth Battlefield, the Greyfriars excavation site and visitor centre and his last resting place, Leicester Cathedral. Just because it was there I visited the medieval Guildhall too - quite a full day!

Okay - well I had to get online for another issue that was unforeseen so I've taken the opportunity to fix the Gaby chapter stuff before I go home to write more. Seems that I posted the wrong chapter for 13, 23 is correct so if you go to Commitment you can read the real chapter 13 which might make 14 etc more sense! Sorry everyone, back to the grindstone!

I've posted another teaser from Volume 5 in the stories section. Vol 6 is a work in progress and so is Vesta's Hearth Volume 5. And then, hopefully I can see about planning a volume from my competition short story but that's months away.
Meanwhile, anybody interested in an awayday trip to Charlotte's island?

There are some series' that I haven't seen any new work in for some time. For some of them I haven't seen the authors being active here either... One of my favorite series is the SPA universe. Yet I haven't seen any activity in the universe or from any of the authors who wrote in it for quite some time. There are a couple of other universes that are on hiatus here as well but right now I'm quite tired and can't think of the names...
Anyway, maybe other readers here could post the stories they're missing too.
Have a nice day!

A golden Oldie. Story is about a teen that refuses to cut his hair during the summer. Mother says okay, but you have to take care of your hair. Washed, conditioned, dried, all of that. And one more thing, when she is home, in addition to his hair being clean, it has to up off his neck, not cut, just up off his neck. So he gets a succession of up-dos, such as a french roll, a cascade of pin curls from an up do, or a Gibson Girl. Then he is spotted by a couple of senior girls, and things get interesting!

Sound familiar?

Look I know its not really that bad, I've had my hols and everything is pretty much hunky dory in my world but I hate coming home after a trip!

So yes, i'm home in GOC and have proper interweb for at least a couple of hours which means you get to read Periodic Table today.

that isn't the half of it, the Hotel tonight has a free wifi connection through Vodafone which is, to put it bluntly, crap. What should have taken a few minutes has taken best bit of an hour but you can at least read Instant Parent tonight! I guess its not helped by the control pad on my lap top working in reverse, one day i'll have computers that actually work properly.

While watching CNN's 'History of Comedy' documentary I heard this great quote and I wanted to share the quote & concept.

" I'm just a person trapped inside a woman's body". - Elayne Boosler, Comedian
