As some may have notice --- or not. I had removed BB: Falling towards the Abyss.

Why? Because I felt it wasn't something that fit well into the overall scheme of Bikini Beach in itself. This universe was created by the works of someone else whom I greatly admire but...

Looking for a place to springboard ideas, and not limited to tg related items. As much as I like the community there are stories that I would like to discuss but also afraid of sharing. Why? Because its could lead others to snatch the one doing the work to later snatch the idea itself. No I'm not suggesting all, but like many of the stories posted and then published by some other...well you get the idea.

There comes a time when a person must be honest with themselves. One is that I'm Emotional Inhibited, thus it makes it hard to put much emotion in my stories except for the same ones over and over again in my writings. I find I have to pilferage others to get a feel of what I want, not even sure if its actually the one I want expressed.

Where did it start? Possibly from being sexually assaulted over the years way back when as a form of living? I'm not wanting to use that for the excuse.

I'm sending out a request for someone to look over a story that I'm hoping to be done within the next few days. It's set in the BB universe but is not a Mel story.

What I'm looking for is for someone to critique it as well as offer suggestions on it. Its not looking to be long as I've been wanting to write a 'short' story.

I don't consider it to be one of the standard norms that have been submitted.

I am looking for peoples opinion who have used or are using the program Ywriter5. Its a free writing program and would like to know what they think of the product.

Have you ever wondered?

Wondering what type of writer you are? Be it the first, third or narrative speaker?

As I look over the writings of various authors that I would like to emulate I find myself asking, 'What type of writer am I? Where does my writing style fit in?'

By this I mean my writing style. Not so much about the first or third person, but more of how I structure the sentences, the selection of certain words vs spreading out the meaning. How compact vs length.

I am currently working on a story for the BB universe. I am looking to see if someone will be willing to read over the story with critical input. They 'must' be familiar with both Elrod's BB universe and with 'my' characters.

I would say don't be discourage or hampered if I do not reply immediately as I am still in the process of doing some editing an so forth. I will reply to all those interested of course.

Just received a call from Louisiana, well that's what Caller I D said. Answered and guy called saying he was from the IT department. Yeah we've heard them going around and yes his accent was pretty bad. Said he was calling about my computers operating system. I asked what type of computer I had. Sorry I'm not in the mood to play their little shit game. He said it didn't matter I have Windows OS. I asked what version, said it didn't matter, was the reply. I started on him like crap to the wall. Either he tells me what 'type' of computer I have else he ain't getting crap.

I'm kinda in the same boat as Elrod. As we have asked before and many times it seems we beg for them its the feedback that our readers provide us that keeps us motivated. Without them, good or bad we have no real inclination of whether our stories are having the impact that we are striving for.

If you were to look at mine from the last story about have of the comments are mine in response.

I like the kudo's but they don't provide me or others with how the story is impacting on you the reader.

Due to the sites unfortunate crash along with several days of hard work performed by those creative people to resurrected and breath new life back into its unfortunate demise the question I have is how story posting is being affected.

Case in point is the number of stories that are being posted. This leads me to ask about those that are being pushed further down the pipe than they normally would be. There were several that I'm sure were reposted due to the time differences from A to B.

Here is the POV of a girl and her thoughts of being a teen in transition. They speak in German but subtitles are in English. Thought it might be of interest.

As with everything in life a little fun must fall. So here is how the evolution of man will be as we go from ape to couch potato.

I thought with all that has been happening I'd provide a small exerpt from one of the stories I'm writing. Understand I haven't truly edited it and its still raw. But so you all know Mel is 13 and Dwayne is 14.

Lisa walked into the apartment when she heard the voices coming from the bedroom. That's right shove that piston in. Mel said.

Do you think I used enough lube? The boy asked.

I hope so I don't want it to be scorched. Oh god that feels good. Pump it some more.

Listening the conversation seemed to get worse.

Well it seems that the tab options disappeared for going to Home, Blog and so on in the header. Another software glitch?
