First off, a big thank you to everyone who has commented, voted and viewed my contributions. I know my story content aims are unconventional, but I do feel like I have this unique take on the whole TG storytelling genre. I don't know if anyone else writes from my perspective and even whether I can find appreciation here or anywhere but sometimes you just have to write what you feel - and it is what I feel. :)

Speaking of what I feel, I feel I need to comment on the recent influx of visitors to my Yahoo groups - and the difficulties some have had in accessing them. Please read below and I hope you'll understand why...

About 18 months ago, I created my first ever group, Family TG Captions, and a few months later, I started another group devoted to a single storyline epic called "The Pageant" Both groups are on membership approval basis - my choice.

In the past, I had seen many Yahoo caption groups deleted by Yahoo on the premise that they allowed minors to view adult material. So I decided that my groups were going to be approved provided the person had their age (18 and over of course) and a location (USA, Alabama, London, the litter box, Fantasy Land - etc.) The way you know that you have this visible to others is to check your Yahoo ID's public view - which you can do at
profiles.yahoo.com/whateveryournameis

If the two criteria aren't showing, you can amend it using profile tools, and Yahoo has help boxes to guide you along.

In the last 2 days I had to reject about 6 out of 20 new members due to no age and/or location. Furthermore, two people who couldn't come in emailed me to voice their displeasure. I am truly sorry that you were denied, and I really would love for you to reapply - but I cannot afford to overlook this requirement. :(

Going forth, I'm going to add a signature to my stories and blogs with a disclaimer that you need to be aware of the age/location requirement. Again, for those of you who got turned, please fix your profiles and try again. And please I don't need your actual birthday, street address, Social Security Number , or your cat's maiden name LOL

Thanks again!
