I promise to behave next time I go into the forest. No littering, no running over plants. I can see myself googling some names today. Thanks Andy, I really enjoyed the story. More would be good. Are all the fairies evil?

Cole, we talked about this story and you said you weren't sure if you'd post it. I'm glad you did. It's a great story. The 'medical talk' never distracted, you described Clay's problems believable. The ending is rather tragic, now that they stopped the research Jason can't benefit from his own work, can he? I really hope you'll continue this. Well done!

What is your highest education level? Do you want to go back to school
Aditus replied to W_L's topic in The Lounge
I'm a chemical-technical assistant and have a PhD in Biology. I worked in a lab at university before I became a teacher, tutor and editor for scientific publications/texts. I write plays with a friend, play piano at a bar (sometimes). I guess I get easily bored. I really don't want to go to school anymore, but I read lots of scientific publications to know what's going on in my field. I don't want to teach the same boring things teachers did twenty years ago after all. -
No storm, no volcanic eruption, no flood, still Nature's wrath was quite effective. A surprising take on the theme. My favorite passage was : but I also felt like one of Cinderella’s ugly stepsisters standing next to him. I couldn't help to picture them. Thank you, I really enjoyed your story.

After the beginning (they met in a bar, Robert looking for a one-night stand) I didn't expect a slowly developing relationship coming out of it. What a nice surprise! The only problem I had was trying to figure out why David had been afraid of Robert at the bar and why his friends, especially Douglas had a problem with Robert. I had the feeling I missed something important somehow and actually read parts of the story again. I liked that Robert made an effort to take it slow so far so that David felt unwanted at some point of the story. I could understand both point of views here. Great story. I'm glad you made the deadline and if you feel like it I would love to read more of those two.

2014 Spring Anthology: Nature's Wrath *now Live*
Aditus commented on Renee Stevens's blog entry in Gay Authors Archive
My plans for the weekend: Finish next chapter of T & F and reading all the anthology stories. Short nights ahead. -
Thank you for reading and commenting, Suvitar. I really liked to write Maya's character. It's good to know she'll always have Paul's back and hopefully will support him in the future, with whatever plan he will come up with.
-
Next one is from Paul's perspective and he has to have a backup plan, right? I'm glad you enjoyed the story.Thank you for your comment, Suvitar.

There had to be closure before they can move on. I'm glad I was able to show their difference.Thank you Percy.

Ha. I remember, I felt almost bad for writing it. No Sam didn't go back to Mark, I would have been mad too, if he'd decided to do that. I'm so glad you liked it and that you're not longer pissed at us.
-
You don't know how many storm videos I watched. I wanted to get it right, we don't have that many storms here.When I start a story I write what comes into my mind. Then I let it simmer,aka start deleting the blah/water, like a good broth. I'm glad you like it. Thank you Cia.
-
Yes. Although 'storm' and 'Nature's Wrath' isn't really new, it still is a very good metaphor for what Sam and Mark are doing here, and what Mark inadvertently did to Paul. Ha, you noticed it. Thank you Cole!
-
Yes, sometimes you wish you could undo things, take back words, but you can't. Life has only one direction: forward.Thank you Jo Ann, for the usual nudge too.

Many readers said how much they'd hate Mark for what he did to Sam. It made me think. Why would/could someone do what he did? Would he regret it? The more I thought about, the more this story took shape. It was one of the reasons I decided to write a Four Perspective series. Thank you Lisa! Couldn't have done it without you.

I'd like to have 3,14 pieces for my friends tonight.

Cumulonimbus Cumulonimbus, from the Latin cumulus ("heap") and nimbus ("rainstorm", "storm cloud"), is a dense towering vertical cloud associated with thunderstorms and atmospheric instability, forming from water vapor carried by powerful upward air currents. (Source: Wikipedia) Mark squinted through the rain, his fingers tapping the steering wheel in a rapid beat, willing the red light to turn green, Now! Now! Now! He briefly entertained the thought of how it would be if he could change

Mark's day starts with Sam's favorite song playing on his phone. Followed by storm warnings and a bad day at work he thinks the day can't get worse when he runs intoSam's truck on his way home. Mark knows he should have talked to his ex months ago and spontaneously follows him to do just that. It can't get worse. Right?

Writing Tip: Tips For Writing Fantasy
Aditus commented on Renee Stevens's blog entry in Writing World
I love bending AND breaking the rules once in a while. My vampires can walk in the sunshine. The new vampire learns that burning to death in the sun is just a rumor, like hating garlic or holy water. For me mixing these things with 'by-the-book vampire traits' like night-sight e.g. is the real fun in writing vampire fantasy. Another thing is what Cassie called 'high fantasy'. Funny as it may be, I try to write according to the rules here, holy grail and all that. -
This community is great, but sometimes you need a real touch, a real hug. All I can do is wishing with all my heart that you'll find them eventually. Until then an e-hug might help.

Thank you. Could we maybe not talk about him anymore?
-
Thanks nos. :)You always need a madman to spice things up, don't you think?
-
I forgot to remind Lisa. Oh shit! I reminded her everytime in the last years but this time I forgot!
-
Happy Birthday!

Welcome to GA, Benedicte! Have fun!

I'm with Sly, someday I want to visit New Orleans and compare Mardi Gras with our Karneval. We have parades, a big one on Monday (Rosenmontag) and smaller ones from Sunday to Tuesday in the other districts of the city. Karneval is a big deal around here, which means I usually flee the city.
