[underthehoodster] Some Thoughts

More.

More feedback, more suggestions on how to refine or improve the site, more contributions to the Gallery. Please.

I think the site looks fantastic, and that is largely due to the efforts of Dennis-DJD here at GA.

Please thank him here at the forum.

I'd like to see pics of some of the other characters like Tom, Morgan, Gene, Jessica, etc...Just keep their ages in mind. They are 8th graders at this point in the story.

Do you want me to make announcements when the site is updated? I'm thinking no, since these aren't really new chapters--not even rewritten really. If you compare the new versions with the old ones (at Nifty) you will see that most of the differences are subtle, a smoothing out of the style and the occasional rewriting of a sentence. And of course, I am adding 'illustrations' to each re-edited chapter as it is posted. Still, if you think update announcements would be useful, let me know.

I will add pictures to the Gallery as I receive them, although I do ask that you follow the guidlines posted there. I'm throwing in some of my own pics along with yours, but I'd really like it to be mostly a readers' gallery.

I enjoy reading the discussions here about the story and characters. Everyone sees them in different ways and that is fascinating. Positive and negative critques are welcomed. I only ask that we keep the tone civil.

One last thing. I am planning to add a page for links to other sites. I am open to suggestions. You can leave them at the forum, PM me, or send me an email.

Thank you to everyone who supports the P&J site and this forum. Your thoughts and participation are a great motivator and I find myself writing more enthusiastically on Part VI than I have in a long time.
