I talk to a lot of members who were around 'back in the day'. Not that I was of course, but hey... I know they're still here. I'm glad to see anyone come back to the site so even if I didn't know you before, welcome back!! PS, you might consider editing your age since you's admitted you're no longer a tender 18 year old.

eyeful for one of your own, go to the 'show yourself' topic. Insanity!

I actually wrote this before we saw that log entry in the Price of Honor and submitted it in the anthology last spring. It was a bit of a prequel and a sneak peek for my readers all in one. It went over decently when it was originally released but I did essentially give the same info again in Price of Honor so they would both stand alone. As for other... I'm not sure that I could! I'm really glad you continue to enjoy my stories, I hope I don't disappoint if you read the rest! Cia

Well even if you're just jumping on the bandwagon there Hamen I'll say thanks! Goofy

When I grow up...or before I die. Something like that. ;)
Cia commented on J_Ross's blog entry in Jordan's Blog
You rave like how I feel. I read a lot, (when GA isn't keeping me swamped) and that is how I feel on the rare occasion I find a true gem. I had one last night that took from from exhausted at only 7 pm at night to still wide awake at 12:30 am as i read non-stop from beginning to end. Truly great stories are diamonds and sometimes you have to sift to find them but it's so worth it! -
How to Write A Steamy, Hot, Sweaty, Incredible Sex Scene--oh yeah baby
Cia replied to Kavrik's topic in Writer's Circle
Quite true Nephy, that sort of lack of skin contact definitely leaves something to be desired. No fair! I have to say though, she's definitely on my list of oh la la lady!! hot women fantasy material. -
I'm glad you like it! I'm definitely trying to stay true to how I envision the story and how readable the story is for the average reader. Honestly, I love everyone who takes the time to check out my stories but if they aren't for them, well, not much I can do. This one is very much something I am writing for me because I love the story as I see it in my head. I hope those who can make it past the accent, or like it, will go along on the journey with me. OH, and the woman? She's pivotal as you'll see in the coming chapter!

Yay! I'm glad it's not 'mundane' lol! I wanted to set the historical period fo the most part in Ch. 1 but throw in a bit of the fantastic to point to where the story was heading. That was more prominent in this chapter. I hope to marry the two aspects, mortal and immortal, in the chapters to come! I hope you continue to enjoy it.

Efiction, in fact all stories on GA are now in GA Stories on-site. I would say almost all stories in e-fiction were moved by staff and volunteers if the authors did not do it themselves but I can't guarantee the one you are looking for is in there. If you recall the author name or the story title then simply click on the GA Stories tab and the browse options are along the left hand side of the screen. If you do not recall those details you can try by using categories, genres, tags...

Second chapter is up. Again, don't be shy, I don't mind open criticism as long as I'm not flamed I can take any valid question as to grammar, plot, characterization... Really!!! Legends and Life Chapter 2

Thanks Adam, I really appreciate that!!

Rabbie woke feeling rested an hour later. His hand slowly slid down to rest on his dirk as he looked around; he could feel eyes on him but couldn’t see any living thing other than Duible standing quietly in the shade under a nearby tree. He rose gracefully to his feet, still watchful as he gathered up his fish. Placing them in a sack he kept tucked into the saddlebags, he grabbed one last drink from the clear cool water of the tarn before mounting up and riding for home. Wee Fearghus was

Welcome Docile! Very nice pics, so very serious looking. What is with the Canadians who refuse to crack a smile around here? Oh wait, that was just Jack and he's a fakie fake Canadian anyway. What was my point again? Oh yeah! Welcome!!

Hmmm... I've a girl and a boy. Barring small potty training differences I can say both of mine are pretty equal so far. I'm reserving judgement til teen years. A kid is a kid is a kid. They're all by turns sweet and annoying. They seem to know just when to pull out the big eye and awwww, aren't I adorable routine to keep you from smothering them. Evil little geniuses, I swear!

Rgveda, The oldest book of the sacred books of Hinduism. And yes, I looked that up!

I like the story and your characters. The interactions, the inevitable conclusion, the scenery you bring to life are all great. Once again we have water and cameras, 2 of my fav things! My only quibble is your flow based on formatting such as paragraph structure seemed off as I read it, especially around the photography scene after snorkeling. This story could benefit from some restructuring but plot wise it's great as it is!

I'm very glad that you have a healthy, strong heartbeating, baby on board. That's great! And as I shudder at the thought of having twins, for your sake, I'm also glad you get a singlet. No matter what, Congrats Daddy Andy!! Can't wait for the gender update.

Bob's suggestion has vast merit, and I daresay he's probably been there before. That being said, all I can give you is hugs. You have been given plenty of advice so I shall simply say I am sorry you are having to deal with such stresses in your life. Oh, and talk this out with Papaya too, I'm sure you have but I've found that sounding board who only has your best interests at heart is often the best one to share with.

I'm glad you like it. I think I might go back into this one and revise it in the coming months. I hate it when I'm reading a fantasy story I don't understand and I re-read after I finish and go, wow, it would have been so much better the first time if I had been told it that way to start off with. So I do understand. Plus this one is short enough that re-writing wouldn't be too much work. Thanks so much for the great review, I'm glad you enjoyed the story! Cia

Oh ughs! The zombies. All I can say is well done. They invoke the same horror the Reavers from Firefly brought out in me. So very nasty and gruesome and yet it's so beyond their control it brings out pity for them too. Of course if Mordred isn't careful he's going to get hurt from not being wary enough. I think in some ways being in Whispering Cliffs was good for him, obviously, but considering his helpless and pointless attempts to invoke divine help by saying, "Gods Mercy" and not striking on his own with his sword hampered him. Hopefully that will teach him a lesson. Expect no help from on high, live and survive based on your own merits! (or hanging on by the skin of your teeth in zombie situations)

The idea of the plague returning was enough to freak me out. I'm a germaphobe of the highest order at times I like the interplay between Mordred and Dmitri in the early part of the chapter. The sense of discomfort Mordred has with his own changing nature is fascinating, btw. How someone could know themselves so little is always an interesting dynamic.

If the length is limited Bob, it's not anywhere near 600 words. I just checked the sneak peeks area as it has some of the longest posts I've seen and one of the more current ones is around 2200 words in a single post. Without knowing where you tried to post and what specificially, as well as the exact error message you received I'm not sure what's happening to you. I'm sure it's frustrating though, I'm sorry I can not help more.
