Krista Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Damn, I clicked on the wrong forum topic... Krista Link to comment
Site Administrator Graeme Posted June 8, 2007 Site Administrator Share Posted June 8, 2007 I'm sorry, Robbie, but I needed a new name, and you were viewing the topic at the time.... Now, if you want to write the scene where Justin meets Robbie, you get to describe how good looking and sexy Robbie is, as well as being a master mechanic. I think we're into chapter 3, but we need to find the right place for the break. Link to comment
Bardeara Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Kill nodded to Ben as he stood up and left the room. Ben hovered over Justin like a hawk while Justin could see he was struggling to ask something he dared not ask. By the time Kill was back, Justin was more then happy to leave. Link to comment
Site Administrator Graeme Posted June 8, 2007 Site Administrator Share Posted June 8, 2007 Now THAT looks like a great place to end chapter 2 I'll let someone else give a description of what happens next. Something other than horror would be nice... (hint, hint). I'm going to be away for the next few days. I'm looking forward to where the story goes from here. Link to comment
colinian Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 I'm just posting tonight because I'm here seeing how the story is progressing. This is the last week of school, and tomorrow I'll graduate from high school and the senior class will have our graduation party. So I've been a bit distracted, and trying to write something to continue the story and post it wasn't working. Maybe next week when I'm no longer a high school kid. The story has taken some, uh, interesting twists. They've been roped in so they make sense. Good job, y'all! Colin Link to comment
Bondwriter Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Just had a look. Agreed, Graeme, we'll stop chapter 2 where you point out. I'll do the copying and pasting later on. Have a nice graduation day, Colin. Link to comment
Bondwriter Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 OK, I just dropped in to copy/ paste. Weather: cloudy. Temperature: 72 Link to comment
James Albert Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 (edited) Was reading, felt obliged to add, going now, bye Edited June 8, 2007 by James Albert Link to comment
Bondwriter Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Ditto. Actually clicked the wrong thread. Link to comment
James Albert Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 I thought Bondwriter had further contributed to the story, so no new add again. Can someone tell me how we're doing on the replies:view ratio?? i'd much appreciate it, i'm sure after i've posted this i'd find a way to find out for myself, but anyhow Link to comment
rknapp Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 James: Take the number of posts and sit it next to the number of views, then simplify both numbers. e.g., if we had 100 posts and 700 views, 100/700 would simplify to 1/7, which is our target. Of course, a fraction greater than 1/7 is better! Like 2/5! [/rambling] Kill smiled towards the figure who was responsible for opening the door, Link to comment
James Albert Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 Thanks, i get the whole ratio thing, what i was asking was where do i find out how many views the post has had, i think i'd probably have to look in the lounge next to the topic right?? Well i had to post anyway, dont want to spoil the game. Link to comment
Bondwriter Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 (to James: the total number of views appears on the forum board; you've got Topic title, Replies, Topic Starter, Views, Last Action) Justin blew softly on the cup of hot cocoa Robbie had fixed him. He didn't want to get burned. "So, Sonny, you've been given the whole 'gate to the underworld' speech by these loony relatives of yours?" As Justin looked at him with a surprised look, he added, "No offense, but I don't really buy into this whole supernatural stuff myself." Justin moved a few engine parts that cluttered up the table to put the too hot beverage down. This Robbie guy was about to reveal more stuff. "What you've got to understand, Junior", he annoyed Justin further with one of these diminutive nicknames, "is that this town is rife with secrets. Juicy ones. And I'm not talking only about Mrs. Gunardsson sleeping -well, having sex, since it mainly takes place during the day- with her maid or Mr. Dellio embezzling his company's money. This is ordinary small town secret." He paused, and stood to get an old leather bound book. "There are secrets that date back to way earlier in history. There are a few things you should know first concerning how the Civil War affected this area." Link to comment

Kurt Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 I was going to add a part to the story, however, I am not sure how to continue, so I will add a part after someone else does. Link to comment
AFriendlyFace Posted June 10, 2007 Author Share Posted June 10, 2007 "But I have a policy. I never reveal information to strangers until they reveal something about themselves." Robbie said with a sly smirk. "So tell me about yourself, kid." "Well first off I'm not overly fond of the patronizing nicknames. So knock it off." Justin said with more confidence than he actually felt. "Secondly, I'm a Libra, I enjoy long walks on the beach, and cuddling on the couch while watching a movie. There, satisified?" Justin couldn't believe he'd just said all that, but the playful looks Robbie was giving him had encouraged him and let him know that it was okay. "Hmmm. Am I satisfied?" Robbie wondered aloud with mock exageration. "Nope, I'm not. However, I think I might be if we tried cuddling on the coach and watching a movie." Justin's mouth dropped open in surprise, and he nervously fumbled for an appropriate response as Robbie continued to look him over with something that clearly went beyond platonic interest.

Krista Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 blah... I clicked on the wrong topic again... lol Krista Link to comment
AFriendlyFace Posted June 10, 2007 Author Share Posted June 10, 2007 I came to see what Kirsta added Link to comment
AFriendlyFace Posted June 10, 2007 Author Share Posted June 10, 2007 Still not ready... LOL, I wasn't really ready to cover the Civil War section either. That's why I kinda cheated and steered it toward the romantic aspect. Looks to me like the next poster can pretty much take their pick on whether or not they want to carry on the romantic part, or shift back over to the Civil War/explanation part. Link to comment
Kurt Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Yeah... I don't really wanna do either, so I will have to wait until someone else does. Link to comment
Kurt Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Just checking where things are.... Link to comment
Bondwriter Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 *having a quick look* The events do not have to do with the Civil War, but an old secret that is 150 years old always works. Go ahead people, have a go at it! And it has been steered towards "romantic", so all options are available at the moment. Link to comment
