Site Moderator TalonRider Posted June 8, 2007 Site Moderator Posted June 8, 2007 1. What is behind that bricked up wall at the book store?. I suspect that the old tunnel leads to the church. I'm not fond of Chris being take to a prison for protection. Who knows, the Piedmont Sheriff could have an insider that that will let him know they have Chris. And I see that Graeme made an appearance in this chapter. Jan
Bondwriter Posted June 8, 2007 Posted June 8, 2007 1. What is behind that bricked up wall at the book store?2. What happens to Chris when he turns 18? 3. Are Chad's parents going to cause problems? 4. How will the Peidmont/Thaddeus/Eric situation get resolved? I can't believe that it won't require the boys to do something stupid, dangerous, and maybe even blond.... 1. I agree with Jan, the church it must be. 2. He doesn't have a pool party. He becomes an adult. 3. No, unless the sheriff's wrong. 4. In a big explosion/ fire/ showdown. By the way, Graeme, you had the fraud thing right. Maybe you won the cameo in CJ's ranting on California.
Site Administrator Graeme Posted June 8, 2007 Site Administrator Posted June 8, 2007 And I see that Graeme made an appearance in this chapter. By the way, Graeme, you had the fraud thing right. Maybe you won the cameo in CJ's ranting on California. Yes, I saw the reference and I had to smile. But I think that entire diatribe was a set of in-jokes. They helped develop Dex's character more, but also served as a bit of harmless fun. I'm a little surprised there wasn't a small reference to being tied up in knots with all the writing he had to do (Bondwriter) in there....
Bondwriter Posted June 8, 2007 Posted June 8, 2007 I'm a little surprised there wasn't a small reference to being tied up in knots with all the writing he had to do (Bondwriter) in there.... There was one. My lawyer is actually working on the case. I don't take to libel too kindly. I would advise Shadowdog to take action too, since the use of his characters and the situations he designed are a clear-cut case of copyright infringement.

At least I'm not the only one now, that I know of, who have had their avatar or screen name used in a story. Jan
Site Administrator Graeme Posted June 11, 2007 Site Administrator Posted June 11, 2007 Getting back to the story, I realised something interesting over the weekend. When Eric was first arrested (in the story), there were some stolen or fraudulent credit cards in Chris's jeep. I wonder if they were early test runs of the $50K hardware for making credit cards that the sheriff and Thaddeus had bought. If so, it is further evidence that not all of the Peidmont police are in on the crime. If they were, those cards wouldn't have been mentioned. However, the officer who questioned Chris seemed very aggressive -- was he one of the ones in on the deal and was trying to put pressure on them, or was he an honest cop who was being pointed at the wrong target by the sheriff?
EMoe57 Posted June 13, 2007 Posted June 13, 2007 A good chapter -- filled in my lunch break nicely We know have the information to complete a lot of the picture, but there is still the final denoucement to happen. I also noticed a few other possible confusions and confrontations that may occur. 1. What is behind that bricked up wall at the book store? 2. What happens to Chris when he turns 18? 3. Are Chad's parents going to cause problems? 4. How will the Peidmont/Thaddeus/Eric situation get resolved? I can't believe that it won't require the boys to do something stupid, dangerous, and maybe even blond.... 1. I agree with Jan, the church it must be.2. He doesn't have a pool party.

Site Administrator Graeme Posted June 13, 2007 Site Administrator Posted June 13, 2007 While the cat's away, they mice can pay to see the next chapter :chris: Ah... A man after Eric's own heart, I see. Personally, I think lots of people are after Eric's heart, but that's another story. Okay, here's the deal. I'll give you sneak peaks at TWO new short stories of mine, if you show me the next chapter sometime this week. Just keep it quiet -- we don't want the goat to find out....

I can point out that I do have 31 in my inbox but that blows away anonymity so I won't... I suddnly feel like the golden retriever in all those Bushes Baked Beans adds.... For those of you that don't have them the dog (Duke) is always trying to sell the secret family recipe to the Baked Beans.
C James Posted June 14, 2007 Author Posted June 14, 2007 Ah... A man after Eric's own heart, I see. Personally, I think lots of people are after Eric's heart, but that's another story. Okay, here's the deal. I'll give you sneak peaks at TWO new short stories of mine, if you show me the next chapter sometime this week. Just keep it quiet -- we don't want the goat to find out.... The goat might just be able to sneak online via an open wireless hotpoint at a passing hotel... But, fortunatly, goats have bad memories so I have no idea what you were talking about? :wacko: I should be back late on june 19th, just sneaking in here via an open wireless hotpoint at a hotel I'm passing. I've been 4-wheeling on some roads that would give an eagle vertigo, and for three days I was camped out 10 miles from the nearest trail (where I parked). I packed in, found a place, and camped. A grizzly came sniffing around in my camp one night, scared the heck out of me, but I scared him off (with intentional near-misses) and he didn't return. When the bear arrived I became very aware that I was probably the only person for 20 miles in any direction and no one knew where I was, so I had some trouble sleeping after that, LoL. anyway, I'll get going for now, and I'll reply to all the above messages (THANKS!!!!) when I return. I can point out that I do have 31 in my inbox but that blows away anonymity so I won't... I suddnly feel like the golden retriever in all those Bushes Baked Beans adds.... For those of you that don't have them the dog (Duke) is always trying to sell the secret family recipe to the Baked Beans. Now, Now, Mr. Anonymous Beta Reader, Shadowgod... No breaking anonymity... Sheesh, these anonymous beta readers... Take care everyone! See y'all in a few days, unless I become bear chow.
Site Administrator Graeme Posted June 14, 2007 Site Administrator Posted June 14, 2007 Thanks for the update, CJ! Enjoy the rest of the trip. And if you don't enjoy it, please try to make sure that the bears do....
Jack Scribe Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 Thanks for the update, CJ! Enjoy the rest of the trip. And if you don't enjoy it, please try to make sure that the bears do.... Update? I won't even say, "I told you so." Here he is, out in the wilderness, checking out his forum and making another post (number 7,000?). BTW, be wary of bears. Don't do it with honey. Enjoy the rest of your vacation. Jack
EMoe57 Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 Update? I won't even say, "I told you so." Here he is, out in the wilderness, checking out his forum and making another post (number 7,000?).Nope, but his NEXT is 3700!
Bondwriter Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 Nope, but his NEXT is 3700! You make sure to send him into a posting frenzy once he's back. Did he manage to send a further chapter of FTL once he got close to a wireless hot point? And should I add once again that figures don't matter, but words do?
Conner Posted June 16, 2007 Posted June 16, 2007 You make sure to send him into a posting frenzy once he's back. Did he manage to send a further chapter of FTL once he got close to a wireless hot point? And should I add once again that figures don't matter, but words do? Ok, have it your way. Thirty-seven hundred!!!
Bondwriter Posted June 16, 2007 Posted June 16, 2007 A post card I got from CJ. He had access to another wireless hot spot. Some inside source sent me this with the caption: CJames & Conner. Now, is it a genuine document, and then who's who? *hopes it will divert attention and prevent the posting frenzy*
Site Administrator Graeme Posted June 17, 2007 Site Administrator Posted June 17, 2007 Some inside source sent me this with the caption: CJames & Conner. Now, is it a genuine document, and then who's who? Conner is the faun (half goat), while C James is a goat, so Conner is on the left, and C James is on the right (ie. the one staring intently at the faun's groin... ) By the way, nice muscle tone, Conner!

I do look kinda erotic, don't I? Thanks, Francois. I hope CJ doesn't see this.
Ieshwar Posted June 17, 2007 Posted June 17, 2007 Guys, you have missed one thing!!! Where's CJ's black specs? Conner, beware! Just imagine if CJ had activated its red beam in the pic... Ouch! NEWS- CJ lost his black specs! Ieshwar P.S - Conner, you're kinda hot for a half-goat!
C James Posted June 18, 2007 Author Posted June 18, 2007 I'll respond to the posts later (they're great!!!) but I just wanted to let y'all know; I'm back a few days early (and I didn't become bear chow). I've been driving all day so I'm exhausted and will be asleep soon, but I'm baaaack.
Meeko Posted June 18, 2007 Posted June 18, 2007 I'll respond to the posts later (they're great!!!) but I just wanted to let y'all know; I'm back a few days early (and I didn't become bear chow). I've been driving all day so I'm exhausted and will be asleep soon, but I'm baaaack. Welcome back!!! i just finished reading the latest chapter, and all i can say is amazing!!! Love your work, keep it up =P
EMoe57 Posted June 18, 2007 Posted June 18, 2007 Welcome back!!!i just finished reading the latest chapter, and all i can say is amazing!!! Love your work, keep it up =P Just don't use Cialis, or Viagra for that matter. You could end up in a hospital with a permanent keeper-upper!
Bondwriter Posted June 18, 2007 Posted June 18, 2007 What kind of data is on the disk? Eric's motivation is money. He is a mad genius when it comes to making money in any way possible and in total disregard for others. So my guess is that the disk contains some data on credit cards, bank accounts and passwords of innocent people. Hugs, Michael. Went for a little old posts digging, and I bet Michael provided CJames with a little cold sweat with such an expert guess.
Jack Scribe Posted June 18, 2007 Posted June 18, 2007 ...but I'm baaaack. Welcome on your return! Saw the show Wicked yesterday in LA/Hollywood. The best line, when one of the characters - a goat - disappears, is said by a guard in the Wizard's court: "A goat is on the lamb". Jack
