Move complete, I'm back on the job. :)
{original post below}
I'm moving today and tomorrow, if all goes well, I'll be without cable internet only for a day. If things go poorly, it might be Monday before I have hi-speed access again. I've asked Bob Arnold to keep an eye on the site while I'm handicapped by having only a dial-up connection so everyone please thank Bob for me. :)
Should be back for sure by Tuesday and soon there will be some new features and goodies for the site, including new cartoons I hope, and new stories by me. :) The rest of the BC authors have been keeping us fat and happy so be sure to show your appreciation to them, too. :)

One hiccup fixed
The system has been off-line for about an hour. Looks like a database problem. Restarting the DB service then kickstarting the web service seems to have fixed it. The outage looks to have started around 4:30 PM PDT by the logs. I'll try to track it a bit more to see if I can figure out where things are "burping".
Bob
Thanks, Bob
I should be back up later today, dial-up is a pain. :)

Poor baby!
I'm always on dialup, I can't decide whether to empathize with you, or mock your pain!

In process
I'm in the process of editing Zapped 22 for Bob right now. To quote my grandmother whenever we were being impatient, "It won't be as long as it has been."

Edit Like Your Life Depends on it
Great to hear chapter 22 is underway.
Fresh Start gave us a badly needed dose of Jennifer, but two? years in the future. What the heck happened when she and her, well, his daughter met? She's back with Adam and their cross-country romance, but how did they reconcile, did she or Adam ever stray, AAAARRRG!
You and Bob are very cruel, you know that don't you.
Seeing how your grandmother talked, we know were you get it from.

P.S. I am not impatient. Not not not not not!
P.P.S. Erin, I hope everything goes smooth during the move.

Huh?
Ok, John, wanna explain this one? Fresh Start?

About Fresh Start
Fresh Start is a story by Julie O. You'll find it here on BC Topshelf and on my own Stardust site. Jennifer Stevens from Zapped made a guest appearance in Fresh Start 2 and may appear again in additional stories in that setting.
It was a great deal of fun to work with Julie doing the story and I hope that readers have just as much fun reading it.
I also need to mention that the next chapter of Zapped explores the relationship between Jennifer and Alexis Eden, a character from Julie's story. Several readers of Fresh Start 2 have asked how Jen and Alexis met so I decided to expand on that in Zapped 22.
Bob
Ah, So!
Well, that explains why I couldn't find it. I assumed it was one of your stories, Bob, but couldn't find it under your name. I did just finish FS2, which of course left me with several unanswered questions that FS will hopefully be able to answer.
Looking forward to the new Zapped, thanks!
73 & 88,

The next Zapped!
As Amelia commented elsewhere, she's doing the editing it so desperately needs. When she gets it back to me I'll do a final approval on it and send it off to Sapphire. I'll also post it on my Stardust site since Sapphire isn't on a regular posting schedule at the moment.
Maybe, with a bit of luck, Z22 will be posted this weekend on Stardust.
BTW, there's a link to the Stardust site at the top of each page on this web site.

Will Try to Hold Breath
Great to hear about Z22, but I'm confused -- is that an early Camero?--

You may stop groaning now.
Seeing how busy our resident IT/computer guru is at the bank -- and we're only seven, soon to be eight branches plus HQ -- how do you ever find the time to write, Bob, given all the websites you help maintain? I feel lazy, all we have is dial-up at home and sneeker-net to connect our various beasts.
I sympathise with Erin and her move, simply helping Dad sort through Mom's stuff as she was dying was a major chore. Thank goodness we didn't have to move.
Good luck Erin. Thanks Bob and Amelia.

Ditto!
Fresh Start2 was great, but it left so many questions that like John, inquiring minds wants to KNOW!
Fresh Start is by Julie O, but JENNIFER guest starred in Fresh Start 2.
A very good read!!!!
Stardust
Thanks for the redirect to Stardust. One of the wonderful things about BI is the friendliness of everyone and the willingness to share. Thanks!!
I Thought It Was About...
I thought this blog was about Erin's move not about Bob's Zapped or Fresh Start 2?
Maybe I'm in the wrong Blog...
I don't envy you all the work Erin.

Sorry
Hmmm... comments like that last one are another good reason for me to give up on writing and concentrate on other things. I'll shut up now and go away.
Bob
Re Sorry
Don't go away Bob, and, "PLEASE DO NOT GIVE UP ON WRITING!"
If anyone wants to "Bitch & Moan" about the subject being changed then blame. "ME."
So thats my story and I'm stick'n to it!
P.S. The Complaint Department is on the 7th floor take the elevator!
"We" are not amused!
So, let it be written
So, let it Be Done!!
(Yul Bryner)
Don't go Bob!
Some people take things too seriously, I guess. I figure if Erin is unhappy with the right turn (or is it a left turn) this has taken, she'll let us know. Otherwise, let's all have some fun with life! And PLEASE!, keep writing! I gotta know what happens next to Jen!
Love & Hugs!

Sorry Bob, Erin
I'm as guilty as the next person, perhaps more, of getting off topic.
I also have a twisted sense of humor. If anything I said offended, I'm sorry. I greatly enjoy both Erin's and Bob's fiction and am in awe of the effort they must put into running these websites.
I hope all is going well with the move and I look forward reading stories by both of you.

I'm back!
I'm back online!
Thanks, Bob, for the backstop. Looks like it needed it too. You had to reboot after another duplicate post but this time the post didn't go through. I'm not sure why. I'll contact Tyrone to get the story and post it myself.
Things are looking good. :)

Glad this Moving event went well.

The horror
Now comes the HORROR!!! Unpacking!!! Where is that box with.....?
Re The Horror
Unpacking!! I'm still unpacking from my last move "Over 1 year ago"
and I'm still missing 2 frying pans and 5 plates :(
"We" are not amused!
So, let it be written
So, let it Be Done!!

Horror part 2
Ha!! Then comes the added expense of giving up trying find whatever items were in that lost box and having to go out and (when possible) REPURCHASE the missing stuff!!!!! The Horror never stops!!!!
