Sorry for not being able to help, but you might get some advanced assistance, if you'll post this same question at the administration communication. That I know will get you the help from the techs here!

I'm so happy that you are here and giving us your stories. This is a wonderful one and made me feel so happy. I need these lighthearted stories to keep my spirits up and this one did the trick and so much more.The element of nature was there again, hope you'll be using it even your coming stories, which btw I'm already fantacising about... I was kinda scared about the possibility of sharks when the boys went swimming at night time, but that's just me, with a shark fobia (and there is no sharks here in Finland, lol).I loved how the boys relationship grow naturally from friendship to love, childhood to the steps of adulthood. I don't remember being this excited about a new author in a long while. and I've read tons of good stories lately! You have rocked my world and went straight to the top list of my favs!

Inspired authors is what I want to see here! Just remember to give back the love you're getting, if you read stories that you like! That's the cycle that creates inspiration, motivation and good reading.

This author writes with pure heart and nature has a really big role in the stories. Fresh style! *Runs off to read some more*

Whopa! Really hot start *blushing* but I like this start, it was, surprising! It is really frank and demands to read more!

So happy to hear I'm not the only one challenged with these modern techs There is this publish button (red) in the up right of the site in blog entry. Did you press that one? If you use that after blog preview it should do the trick. I also mistakenly have 2 blogs, same reason with me! I just your the other one. I think you could contact someone from the tech suport to delete the inactive blogs that you have created...

USA The longer this thread is gettin the more you need to be aware of the words already used. Should there be a punishment when someone is gaught using a word, that has been earlier used or that can't be proved to be an actual word? Suggestions for punishment?

Niiice!

First: Amazing poem! Do you do a lot of poetry? **Must run and see if you have submitted any**Second: I liked that there was equally much context of both the supernatural adventure element and getting to see Matt's complexcity. He is a confident karateka and at the same time he is feeling small in front of his supnat task. Wonder what that's gonna be :)Third: I miss karate! Love to read how you descriped the gata. It's easy to write about the stuff that is familar and dear, that's why yoga has sneaked into my story to, more and more. Fourth: gonna crash now, I'll continue this story when I'm in a more alert state! Good work, hon!

How many people know about this magic Matt's powers...? Is there even a global magical world side by side with our natural world... Hmmm...?Wonder how big this supernatural element is gonna grow!

Omg, hilarious! he-heee.... Must have lots of build up emotions to put in a story with him, lol

Really interesting start! Handling magical povers and coming out must be a struggle Nicely introduced lead. Gonna spend my night with this story and I'll be popping some ideas in the reviews as I read (if my mind isn't going blank from insomnia, in witch case I'll have to do some serious re-reading tomorrow). Looking forward for the rest of the chappys!

Anyta! I'm so dissapointed... You can't tease us in such a horrible way as you did with this chappy. The office scene was building to be the hottest one in GA history and you didn't deliver it!!!!! Arrrgggg... No, sorry! It was fine and teasing is good , keeps us in place, graving for MORE!!!!!! Ps. If you pm me an alternative eding for the office scene, where B and K are not in so much of a hurry, I'd be willing to pay some!

Well I'm not limited to one author either! You can always describe the one that you like at the current moment. Or someone who impressed you or what ever. How you define the it-factor that an author whose works you fancy has on you?

I've been wondering about writing style too, how some authors have a strong signature style and some play with different styles from story to story. How some authors always come back to same story ideas... Think about your favourite GA author or two, don't say it to us. Think in a few words the style your fav writer uses, usually this is easy! You can both do the describing and quessing work in this thread. Just don't reveal! I'll start with three different authors. One writes about sweet first love, that is pure and magic. Sometimes bending the line, good taste or not, it is sugary sweet anyways. This author describes in detail every hair that moves in the loveinterest's head making the scene stop and letting your heart beat syncronice with the protagonist. This author favours first person. One author I really like uses English language in a witty way, avoiding the most predictable words and descriptions. This author can make you smile and cry in one chapter, writing style changes with the characters growth sometimes from poetic, slow storytelling to sarcastic and hard tone. This author makes even supernatural feel natural and believable. Ok, the third one (but not by a long shot my last fav) is a master in harsh reality. The stories are quite dark, never supernatural. This author brings out the dirtiest and sickest things in human nature, making the innosence really stand out. This author has a message and doesn't awoid hard topics. These stories are emotional, tricky rollarcoasters, but there has always been a happy ending.

I'm just as challenged! One option is to use the thumbnail below, works, if the photo is not too big. Or you can create an external online link fot the phot by downloading it to for excample to ImageSchack http://img841.imageshack.us/ This was a advice I got and it worked! You don't need to register there if you don't wanna. There is a downloader that you can use to get the picture from your computer's file, and that creates the links that you just "paint". Then add a link to "insert link" ^^ and that should work. Some one not so much challenged is porobably more helpful, but that was how I did it

Well if u dress up as a cat, then I'll convince Frosty too!

I like this Lugh!

Hi! And welcome Welcome to Breeze too

lol I noticed it too just a moment ago! I think I posted mine like minutes before Comsie These kind of things happen a lot for me... Scary sometimes, huh... Read my blog too, I was wondering about this weird case of inspiration I'm on... I got some inspiration out of Comsie too, last night in chat

lol, it's not supposed to be too easy!!! Mohawk :devil:

Do you finish all the stories you start? Have you a story (or more than one) that you have written for a long time and then gotten stuck with it. How do you deal with the effort you have already put into the work and then left it unfisnished? Do you covince yourself that one day you'll pick it upagain? Do you have a story that you regret never finishing? I'm working on my first three pieces and I'm scared when the famous writers block is gonna hit me for the first time... Are there any signs of it coming?

I can understand for not leaving a green rep if the story didn't do anything to the reader, but to give a minus rep is just pure mean. There is always the effort of writing that should be respected. Wonder who you pissed off...
