Wow, after that, who cares what they're advertising? Sign me up!

We don't have a plot bunny adoption area of this site. The closest thing to this is what W_L mentioned: our prompts. If you'd like to suggest one, then you will need to communicate with comicfan.

I admire a lot of what Kirk Cameron has done, but this video is hysterical! The actors in the video make some really good points and all the different ways they try to say "bumping uglies" is most amusing, especially the body language. I hope this video catches on. Let's all be cocks!

How about conscience? Why do people not know the difference between conscience and conscious? I often see "conscience" when the author meant "conscious." Or you'll get "conscious" when the author was really talking about a person's "conscience." This is like mistaking "their," "there," and "they're."

Any news/tidbits to offer (rumors, gossip, etc) about the new game?

Told you, you'd like it. They are an interesting couple, aren't they?

I love kinder eggs, too! I used to eat peeps by the dozens as a kid but now ... ew, too much sugar. One of our school secretaries loves peeps, though, so I bought some and put them in the freezer for a practical joke at halloween.

YES! YES!! YES!!! I know, it's like they keep delaying the release just to muck with us.

Thanks for the clarification. Truly, this was very moving. That young man was very brave, and so was his teacher. My respect to the mom as well, for listening to her son.

I can't find the particular article, just a link to the blog ...?

How did I miss this last year? You have the perfect birthday for you! Happy Birthday, Lugh!

Diablo III It's been put off or delayed for so long, I'd been thinking it was never gonna happen, but the latest date is so close!

Hello and thank you for the review. I'm glad you liked the story and characters. If you laughed or cried or winced, then that means the emotions got you and that's about the best compliment you can give any writer.

Hi Frosty. Thanks for the review. Yeah, this is a gritty one. I'm glad you liked it, despite the rough edges.

I think the East Coast gang has a good thing going with setting dates and voting. We need to get a move on for this thing or all will be lost. My last day of school is June 21st, so anytime after that would be ideal for me. May and June are chaotic what with state and AP exams and then finals. There's a big science thing I'm doing one of those first weekends in June, so... yeah.

If I'd had two dads, my life would've been radically different. My dad was in the military, so that never would've happened. His mom was also a devout Catholic, so the need he always had of living up to her expectations and the pain he had at never being her favorite child would've been much much worse ... Then again, maybe being cut off from them would've been a good thing! Hard to say. On the other hand, I would hope that he would've been happier. His marriage to my mother has always been strained because she's a very difficult person to get along with. My sister and I used to play the 'what if' game growing up, mainly wondering if our parents were going to get divorced. We prayed for it sometimes. With someone more supportive at home, I wonder if my dad would've been home more and spent more time with us kids. Many times growing up my mother was my only parent and that was rough on me because we rarely got along. I love both my parents, but sometimes I just don't like my mother much. I can't help but think that with a different partner in his life, my dad's life would've had less stress and not led to some of the health problems he's had. (would he have been a work-a-holic if he felt more comfortable in his own home?) We also would've probably stayed in one place instead of moving around and I wonder what that would've been like. I also think that with two dads I could've talked to at least one of them about the identity crisis I had as a teen and maybe I would have figured things out a whole lot sooner, and not shoved all that stuff so far away it took me years to find and sort out. Without my mother, the dynamics between my siblings would've been very different. I think, maybe, that a second dad would've helped balance things out -- my mother has never understood or accepted how differently she treats all of us. Maybe I would have a closer relationship with my sister and brothers ... Who knows? I don't think it's wise to dwell on what might have been.

This is a very engaging story and I love how smoothly the dialogue and action flows. Even as a short story, I feel that I really know the characters.

Well, I wouldn't necessarily call it 'light' reading. I am glad you enjoyed it and super-glad that this fan-fiction didn't mangle any good memories from the real thing. It's still hard to believe that there will be no more books from such a great author. To Pern!

Thanks! I'm glad you took a chance and it turned out to be a good one for you.

Thanks! I love the different options your mind came up with.

hehe. mission accomplished!

Thanks! a little bit of light fantasy is good for the soul.

This little story leaves a fuzzy spot in my heart. Perfect for the holidays!

~ Planning is Everything ~ Plans are nothing; planning is everything. ~ Dwight D. Eisenhower To Martin Brown’s mind, anything was possible, provided you had a plan. Unfortunately, plans had a tendency to go awry. “Yes, yes,” he hissed into his cell phone as he slammed his car door and jammed the gearshift into drive. “I’m there. Five minutes.” “Marty…” “Five minutes.” Gritting his teeth, Martin let the phone fall from his shoulder as he pulled into traffic. He swore at the inevitabl

Marty's figured out what he wants and what he's willing to do to get it. In fact, he's got a plan, a really, really good plan. Happy New Year 2012!
