    I know. I'm sorry. I've been dining on fastfood for so long and I'm starving for a juicy steak, that's all. And heaven forbid you ever retire from writing or finish the last chapter. I'll starve to death. And this is usually MY quote.

    UGH! Mark, come on. We're back to three to one with Streak taking the high road again. I KNOW it's easier to write but damn. I'm getting the shakes and there's no HMS methadone equivalent. *sigh* Sorry, Hopes were just dashed again. Saw your name in the email and I was like, "YES! . . . oh never mind." Not that CAP isn't good too. I'm sure it is. But I left it ages ago when infidelity became an accepted practice. For me it was a story stopper. I know it happens in HMS as well but at least there is a conscience associated with the act of betrayal. I could never do it so I don't get the mindset. So that only leaves me with one Mark Arbour story and it's greatness. Just jones'in and needed to vent.

    Chapter 1

    ricky commented on Wicked Witch's story chapter in Chapter 1

    An excellent first chapter. I hope for long and meaty chapters that will allow me to immerse myself in this most wonderful escape. I like the flow and your style a lot. You've got a serious fan here. And kudos to your editing team as I found zero errors. Well done! You are a welcome addition to the GA author community.

    Prologue

    ricky commented on Wicked Witch's story chapter in Prologue

    Sounds like a great premise. I can't wait. I confess to reading the review before I started. I didn't get the "first-person" indication out of the prolog. So perhaps that was something they read into it. I look forward to it. Cheers r

    Thanks Sandrewn. I love hearing about the naval history of the UK. It really was the center of civilization of the modern world. It still is in many respects. This is nothing short of remarkable, to build such a thing in such a short period of time given the time in history and the technology available to them. Absolutely remarkable. And the men and even the cat that crewed her are a testament to their dedication to duty. I can't imagine it. 59 rounds in probably now more then 10 hours of daylight means constantly serving their guns during daylight hours. And six rounds an hour as well as maintaining the ship had to be daunting. I don't know the particulars about servicing the guns or crewing the ship but for the size of the crew it's obvious they had double duty or more. and 38c /100.4f would be unbearable even with some airflow. Wow.

    For those of you still following this thread. The story has been ressurected under the name, "The Boy of Sunst" and has been edited. Tristen is still no where to be found but we hope he will turn up in time to complete it. If not, this fine editor and friend of Tristen's is prepared to go on with it. He also has the last chapter written by Tristen which has never been posted. So I encourage you to go and see how clean the chapters are and show your support to Tristen and his Rip's efforts by commenting. Here is a link to the new blog: http://skorrip.blogspot.com/ Cheers, r

    Hi Kuragari129, Be welcome! We always love having a new author come onboard. Just make sure you read the FAQ's before you post. Unlike most FAG's these really DO apply and answer the questions about what you can post and how far you can go. It's best to know the limits before you post a partial story just to find that you have to do a rewrite to get it to conform. If you have any questions, just ask. Cheers, r

    Be welcome Trees Are Awesome. I;ll have to adnit, I think you'll be popular. People around here respect wood.

    No problem Mark. I'm working on a stihl for hard times. Don't feel you have to rush. Quality creates it's own demand. We'll be here and you'll eventually create more to add to the classic that will remain so for days longer then our lives. (Just don't croak in the middle of a book because nobody else could ever do it justice.) So don't rush thinking you have to satisfy the mobs. Having said all that, are we there yet?

    Any comment on how the next is coming alone Mark? Are we looking at days or weeks? I just need to ration out my liquor for the lean times. lol

    And the fact that your message to him was your 69th maple flavored post has no bearing on your right?

    Valient CH 13, the last paragraph. The Duke of suffolk says, "I have lived my life on this battlefield. I am familiar with the lay of the land." Referring to Lady Granger's affair with Cavendish and Mag Tredway. Is he saying that Granger's mother has had affairs? (Just rereading from the beginning for the umpteenth time but certainly not the last. lol)

    Com's a great writer. We have a lot of others here as well. And NEVER say just a reader. A writer without readers is an exercise in futility. We only writer for the readers. Writers writer for themselves first of course, but we could keep the stories to ourselves and our personal fantasies. So readers are uber important. Besides, you may one day to try your hand at it. If "I" can write, anyone can. So be welcome! You're a very important part of our community!

    I think you'll find that the 89th and particularly the captain are involved in smuggling or worse, slavery. The folks dropped of seven years ago need food and things. If those are only provided through corruption then they will pay dearly for them. And if the plan was to disembark many of the new settlers through capture and enslavement then Granger will be a very unhappy man indeed. And woe to the fool who makes Granger unhappy.

    Chapter 23

    ricky commented on Mark Arbour's story chapter in Chapter 23

    A brilliant chapter. And now I must assume the smuggling involves those who were delivered there seven years before. Something tells me there is trouble afoot and Granger is going to ferret it out. I can't wait.

    Psssst, MikeL, its because he doesn't feel comfortable yet. Give him time. And what's wrong with being a little odd? Truthfully isn't it the ones who think they aren't that are the problem? So shh! It's secret!
