[DomLuka] I'm a new Domaholic

[NaperVic]

With the recent increase in number of declarations, this thread is being created to give new Domaholics a place to declare their addiction and obsession.

 

Just realized that you're hooked on Dom's writing and want to shout it out? Well here's your virtual town square .

Domaholic for life...I'm sorry but that man is brilliant!

 

DOMAHOLICS FOR LIFE!

[Lugh]

Ok, at first I thought I was not a Domaholic (silly me) then when I read that list I reaslized I was a bit worse off than I thought.

 

First, I do not check the email (nor the forums) constantly, instead, I have a rss feed to my desktop. I do however check to make sure it's working, frequently.

 

Second, six (could be higher but three don't apply) out of twelve is only fifty percent (hum, 6/9 is 66% -- is that bad?)so I can't be too addicted (yeah right), can I?

 

Sighs, I guess I am an addict. Oh well, at least it's not something that can kill me (is it?).

I can quit anytime I want... which is usually after I've read the latest update of the latest story.

 

See? I'm in complete control.

[Chris Muldoon]

I've been a Domaholic since the middle of TOU, but i resisted registering until now. I'm getting tired of watching my friends' eyes glaze over when I go on a ten minute diatribe on how Aaron needs his ass kicked.

 

I almost didn't read "You Know You're a Domaholic if..." because I already knew I was. But I caved and the descriptions are uncanny. I found myself shouting "yes!" or "that's me!" after each one.

I first read TOU.. after it was already finished, and thought it was really good. I didn't want to read "The Log Way" cause the title put me off, lol. But after reading it, I was hooked. Desert Dropping is the first story that I've actually been following, and thus have to wait for the chapters, which made me realize that I am, in fact, a Domaholic. That's why I registered, cause I feel the need to talk about it since I can't just read on and see what happens, lol.

Hi. I'm Greg and...I'm a Domaholic. The longer I'm away the more I crave. I've always been a fan of Mr. Luka, but DD was too much. I find myself checking constantly to see if my new fix is in. I stayed up for hours waiting for DD25. It's shameful I know, but it's good to know that there are others like me.

[Tim the Traveller]

hi, my name is tim(certain people seem to think i'm a slut,but i'm beginning to think that they're just jealous;) and i'm a domaholic.

 

as a domaholic, and being on vacation WIA for 3 weeks, let me tell you some of the horrific traumas of withdrawl from there being no domaliterature to be read.

 

1. insomnia

2. the desire to keep "refreshing" in the middle of reading books or magazines

3. paranoia that rory will get his head stuck up his butt again when it was just getting out of it.

 

but heres the good news- let me also tell you that i suffered no severe headaches,insanity(no more than usual anyway),nausea,hershey squirts,impotence,incontinence,heartburn,acid reflux or swelling of the tongue.

 

the symptoms i did have were relatively mild and included anxiety and depression, but it was nothing that eating valiums like candy wouldn't cure. ok so maybe the southern comfort helped a little too but thats irrelevant here since everyone needs to deal in their own way

 

hey vic do i get an award for using "domaliterature" or is that already in the dictionary here?

Hi,

 

I joined this site because of Dom.

 

Like Gregg, I'm guilty of staying up late and constantly refreshing the page to see if he has updated.

Yay! 1500! Go me...?

 

I've read all of Dom's stories and I'm just skimming through some of the stories written by other authors and I can already tell this addiction is going to be a bad one....

[Guest peter12]

Hi, my name is Peter... :: "Hi Peter", everyone waves :: ...and I'm a Domaholic.

 

'tis true. I find myself refreshing pages, copying RSS feed URLs, checking forums and blogs insesintly (sp?). (sigh)

 

I only just became a member thank to Dom. That last chapter (#28) got to me, and I just had to get out there. So here I am.

 

I've been watching (and reading non-stop) for several months now. I've read through Dom's entire collection, sometimes every chapter all in one night (TOU), and I just can't get enough. How someone so talented can just be content with posting chapters online and not get published in a book is beyond me...if only I could have a bound edition of everything he's ever written. I'd read it over and over.

 

See ya'll around.

Peter,

[AFriendlyFace]

Good you're in for a treat then. My personal favorite is TLW, but TOU is also really good, and don't miss his two short stories

[NickolasJames8]

Lol i guess you can have his babies.. kids don't tend to like me anyway.

 

lol Glad to be here.. I've only read DD so far.. i fell in love...

Thanks for the welcome

I would say that you should definitely go with Log Way first, then The Ordinary us because Log Way was the first Dom smash hit(that I know of) and it's his best work. Dessert Dropping is definitely next and The Ordinary Us is in 4th place, right behind Spirit of James, also an awesome story

[Tony]

I had read a bit of Log Way a while back, and I think DD surpasses it the most important areas, which I'm feeling too lazy to name at the moment.

[Tim1001]

You guys like TLW better TOU? i dunno, maybe its cause i see so much of me in Quinn and he finds love in the end anyway...but TOU is definately my favorite, although TLW is the first thing i read by DOM (read GOD) and i been enthralled ever since

[Ann]

Oh, I loved TLW. My favorite of Dom

[Raiyne]

Dear Dom,

Hm... I can't believe I'm actually trying to post something. How to start? Ok, I'll start at the beginning because I'm cool like that.

 

So, I've been reading Nifty for a while, and one day I was pretty much out of interesting titles to check out. I saw Desert Dropping and thought "What the hell could that mean?" So, I clicked the link and started reading. My fist impression was: wow... this is quite long... But, I got over that once I realized that every inch was jam-packed with chocolaty goodness. I read through all the chapters up on Nifty (maybe 12 or so), when I finally was suddenly tempted to visit the link that Dom inserted at the bottom of the stories. I guess I had seen the link before, but I never really acknowledged it. Looking back, I can clearly see the first signs of Dom withdrawal, but I didn't know that at the time.

 

After a quick copying and pasting, I was visiting Dom's sight. When I saw DD, my eyes almost imploded. I was jumping with joy that my favorite story had "hidden" chapters that were not yet on Nifty. After I finished off those remaining chapters, I meandered into the Dom Forums. No offense, but I thought that all of you were completely insane. I mean, Dom's a great writer, butyou guys were fawning all over him like he was God's gift to man. I was so ignorant and naive. I wouldn't understand how Dom was tightening his grip over my every thought until it was too late.

 

Now that I had exhausted the forums, I decided to try one of your other stories. When choosing between TLW and TOU, I ended up with TOU simply because I have an irrational aversion to log cabins ( ), and I was afraid the story might be about one. Wow, that sounds really weird now that I can see it in print. Maybe I should talk to someone about that. Anyway, so I thought I loved DD, but I totally wasn't prepared for TOU. It felt like Quinn was reading my thoughts, and then repeating them to me. I was pretty much going through the same mental processes as Quinn during the whole story, and I have never read another character that I could relate to in such a manner. So here's the mushy part of my story. I was so inspired after I finished reading the final chapter that I came out to my parents. They were absolutely fine with it, and they are about as liberal as it gets. *Happy Ending Dance*

 

So, here I am, surveying the battlefield, I had already downed what was up of DD and TOU, and I knew that TLW was the next step. I actually didn't read it for several weeks, partially because of that log cabin thing, but mainly because I knew any Dom story would totally consume my life once I started it, and I was busy with exams. Now that I have thoroughly abused the comma beyond normal human capabilities, I will continue my story. So, I started TLW, and I'm not sure if it's possible, but I might like it more than even TOU. I'm taking this one slowly because I think that I might enjoy it even more that way. I have a couple of chapters left, and I'm using the majority of my will power not to break down and read them. This has negatively affected my social life, and I think I have been snapping at people lately due to this Dom-induced stress.

 

Ok, I think that pretty much covers most of it. That all came out longer than I intended it. I guess that the reason that I'm coming out of hiding is that I realized that Dom does all this writing, and the only thing he gets in return are personal fulfillment and applause from the audience. I feel like I owe a lot to him (the whole coming out thing), so I thought I would do my best to show my infinite thanks and gratitude. Make that infinite +1.

 

Alright, I lied. I wasn't actually done with the post. I read the first chapter of WT (am I allowed to use that abbreviation yet?) and I am already in love. I don't know how you do it, but you're batting 4/4 (that's 100% I think :wacko: ) This might sound insane, but I think I might be looking forward to WT 2 (muahahah I'm using the abbreviation no matter what you say) more than DD 31. Stop messing with my head! I don't even know what to think anymore.

 

This paragraph means that I'm still not done ranting. I think I'll rant about DD now. I would formally like to declare my political affiliation as a strong member of the LRITE party. All supporters of Seth + Rory legislation are clearly communists. Clearly. :nuke: So... until I figure out how to manipulate people telepathically, I guess I'll just have to pray with my fellow LRITES for some type of major falling out between Seth and Rory. I'm hoping that Luke gets Rory to cheat on Seth during their pending camping extravaganza (TLW flashback). By the way, it appears that there are no log cabins in TLW... yet. I still have a few chapters left to go, and I'm afraid that the house that Chris, Owen, and Aiden are planning on moving into is a log cabin. That would completely ruin the story... so it had better not happen. If it does, I'm going to have to go crazy pirate on Dom :chris: .
