Hit counts on BC fascinate me.

Like others have pointed out before, a hit count of 3000 has become a kind of badge saying a story is doing well.

Well, my Hollywood! project is on hold indefinitely. Why?

1. Unforeseen continuity and balance issues.

2. My Summer Romance contest entry has grown to epic proportions (for me). It may not be finished in time for the contest, but since it is upwards of 40000 words twice over that is more than likely for the best.

Amazingly, I have obtained a free laptop!

Toshiba Satellite 1850
Processor: IBM 386
RAM: 4Mb
Hard Drive: 120 Mb
Monochrome B/W LCD
OS: DOS 5.0

The floppy drive is dead and I can't use it for the internet, but I've always had a soft spot in my heart for decrepit electronics.

A few questions for anyone who reads my stuff.

1. Where's the comments? Oh Cheers 3 feels all lonely and dejected with only 2 comments actually about the story.

2. Drabble Theatre? Good idea, bad idea? A drabble a day 'cept weekends sound interesting?

3. Two trains are on their way to Boston...

There once was a fellow named Lance,
Who could not find a date to a dance,
So he put on a dress,
Strapped some boobs to his chest,
And went with a buddy named Chance.

Yeah its lame, but I was bored. Got a better one?

You know, there's a lot of things about me that I like, and there's a lot of things about me that I dislike. Then, there's the things about me that I'm not sure how I feel about, and to be honest, my natural femininity is one of them.

It's about time! I should be able to post the first part of 'Oh, Cheers' later today! Looks like it might get expanded to 5 parts from 3 due to some missing bits I found, but regardless it's all coming along great, and this time next week I should be able to post part 2. With any luck (cross your fingers here) I'll be able to have this finished posting by the end of June or July, then I can get back to Echoes. Thanks for being patient with me and my rambling on all the time :)

I have almost completed the second draft of the first part of a three part story, and I already have the draft of part two finished and three outlined. The only major question now is what to call it? Its your typical Reluctant Cheerleader type story, and suggestions are welcome, with more information provided if requested. Also, for the one person who may still be waiting, Echoes 5 is still on hold until I have a computer again. On a related note, anyone wanna give away a laptop with wireless?

Part IV of Echoes will be up soon, following a quick re-re-re-readthrough and a few minor changes to try and make it seem a bit less whiny. With any luck, I'll have it up by Wednesday or Friday!

If anybody wants to read through it and maybe give me ideas on what to change, I always appreciate offers of help, especially from those who have an interest in the story. Thanks!
