So my handful of followers (who seem to want to read all of my crazy comments or weird postings in The Pit) should see that I’ve Commented both here and on the chapter (I’m still confused about how Notifications work in relation to Following, it doesn’t make sense to me). And maybe if I add a sarcastic Comment on a certain author’s stories, I’ll stop seeing that nasty ‘reminder’ to Comment on stories as if I’ve never Reviewed or Commented on any of the stories I’ve read… The glitch has to do with the Publish/Unpublish portion of posting a story. I fear I may have made the error as I posted. In any case, spreading the word is helpful, and I thank you! 1 1 Link to comment
Timothy M. Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 (edited) Wonderful story, Parker. I look forward to the next chapter. You may want to go back and edit away the extra and empty lines in the text. Edited August 26, 2017 by Timothy M. 1 Link to comment

Parker Owens Posted September 2, 2017 Author Share Posted September 2, 2017 The last chapter of Fall Observation posts this week. I really enjoyed writing what one person called a 'crossover ' story. However, it is really hard to think for another writer's characters. Skinny gave me permission to do that, but still... 5 Link to comment

northie Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 I can imagine wanting to make the characters do things which weren't possible in the original writer's mind. And so, becoming frustrated or stymied. My admiration for you as a writer increases, my friend. 3 Link to comment

That’s what happens when you get a bunch of guys (and the majority still are men) with social disorders (where else can they go where their disabilities are seen as assets?) have an advantage when they can think like machines. Tech geeks don’t think the same way the rest of the population does. They often don’t understand how to make things user-friendly to the general population. What they see as easy and obvious, isn’t to the rest of us. There are several layers that separate us from Ones and Zeros, sometimes those layers get tangled up. Link to comment
Parker Owens Posted May 2, 2018 Author Share Posted May 2, 2018 I know that I work very slowly. I admit it. However, I finally got something down on digital paper. I don't suppose anyone would be interested in a single-chapter follow-on vignette in which we see our favorite pair? Just asking.... 3 2 Link to comment

I’ve been (relatively) patient and have pointed to this story with links a couple times in my comments elsewhere, although as I write this I realize one of the links should have pointed to Predator Prey instead. I’ve been interested in any sort of update on our heroes! ;–) Link to comment

The pandemic that was affecting the muses seems to be slowly coming to an end. And just in time since one of my favorite stories has ended and another two will end soon. @craftingmom recently posted a chapter of Ripped. And we just got a new chapter of @Timothy M.’s The Cardmaker and the Caretaker! ;–) Edited May 3, 2018 by Former Member Link to comment

Parker Owens Posted October 7, 2018 Author Share Posted October 7, 2018 I had a thought a few nights ago, one of those random thoughts which I recognize now as one that might be the seed from which a story sprouts. Andy and Zander would be in their freshman year at university now... 2 2 Link to comment

Former Member Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Summer’s End was like the tiny little tasting scoop at an ice cream shop (Ben & Jerry’s? Double Rainbow?). Just enough to tease the taste buds. I’m waiting for not just a single scoop in a waffle cone, but an all-out giant A to Z sequel sundae! ;–) Link to comment
