I have noticed that I became a member here a year and a week ago, which for some is probably 53 weeks too long. I have frequented this site for a few years but previously as a reader, particularly attracted by Wanda's 'Kelly Girl', which I still consider one of the best stories here. In those days I was just an occasional reader.

Since then I've posted more than four hundred episodes of stories* and currently have four serials on the go, five if I include the Sugar Puffs I like for breakfast and which Bonzi occasionally shares.

Last night I posted the two hundred and fiftieth episode of Falling Off A Bike. I accept there are more popular authors and stories, and certainly better writers than I am. I have no pretensions or delusions, however, I seem to have stamina and those six or seven hundred regular readers who seem to enjoy my stories may be interested to learn that I have no plans to stop scribbling just yet. I have no idea what size Falling is other than probably getting on for a thousand pages in dead tree format. You may be relieved to learn I have no plans to publish it as such.

How it's kept going I don't know, but I start off reading the previous episode and watch and listen to the characters in my head. Bonzi gives me the odd idea, actually they are usually very odd indeed, so I don't use them too often.

So on the occasion of my first anniversary here as an author of one or two pieces, I thank you the readers for your support and encouragement in your votes and comments. Please keep them coming and I shall try to keep, Cathy, Charlotte and one or two other stories going too.

All the serials I have running will be concluded.

Happy Anniversary.

Hugs,

Angharad.
