  1. Team GB still searching for that illusive first gold medal

    Prompt #155

    Thanks Wayne. I've loved these last few prompts. I'm sure there are those out there who would quite happily accept this curse.

    Chapter 13

    Thanks for the review Nephy. You are not alone, I'd love to see her as well!

    Chapter 12

    Thanks Nephy Your point on my dialogue is taken on board. I've tried moving away from including the information side in the text of the story and including it in the dialogue instead, but it's not working as well as I'd hoped. For some reason, it just doesn't seem to flow right, and I end up sounding like a history professor I'm going to keep working on it though. The archaeology team's murder could have been a real problem, and that was one thing Thomas was really worried about revealing. Hopefully the offering will be enough for Alex and his mum.

    Chapter 11

    Thanks Nephy I'm not sure what the future holds for Thomas and Alex since it quite literally hasn't been written yet In spite of their young age, I'd like to think they'll make it, because I really don't like writing heartbreak. But as the old song goes: que sera, sera.

    Chapter 10

    Thanks for the review Nephy. Alex and Thomas getting together is about the only thing I knew I wanted to happen with the story; I just couldn't imagine the story without them being together.
  7. First Olympic medal for Lithuania in swimming, it's a gold and she's only 15 Big congrats
  8. Britain win their first Olympic medal in the mens team gymnastics for 100 years
  9. There is a reason my native American name is "Bear With Wide Canyon"
  10. I’d tired of being the good kid. The kid who always did his homework, the kid who was never sent to the headmaster, the kid who was loved by his teachers, the kid who had never even so much as smoked a cigarette behind the bike sheds. Well damn it! I’m sixteen years old and I decided it was time to grab life by the horns and live a little. It was prom in a few days time and I’d had the devil’s own trying to find a date. My first thought was to ask Steven Short or Darryl Chambers. Both boys
  11. Welcome Andrea, echoing what Cia said, we always love seeing new readers I'm sure you'll find plenty to keep you reading

    Prompt #154

    Thanks Wayne. I really enjoyed writing this one. I was struggling a little with how to fit in the black roses, I'm glad you liked that bit.
  13. A really well written chapter. I'm enjoying the story so much. Keep up the great writing. I can't wait for more on Sarah.

    Hope everything turns out well all round. Keeping you and your family in my prayers.
  16. I was drawn to Dagen for some unknown reason. I knew what I was doing was frowned upon; hell, it was tantamount to being illegal. The Leanaí Scáth had been shunned since they first appeared on Earth a little over two hundred years ago. Nobody knows where the “Children of the Shadows” had appeared from, or where they had come from; one day they were not here, then the next day they were here. All that was known about them was that they did not appear to physically age and apparently, they are
  17. Renee if one day you snap I am prepared to offer you an alibi (and a place to hide the body) My BF's family are nice for the most part, but his younger sister sounds a bit like your hubby's sister. The only difference is that she doesn't really have anybody else in her life to help with stuff. Though thankfully she will actually take 'no', or 'not today, but we will tomorrow' for an answer without throwing a hissy fit. I feel so sorry for you and your hubby having your nieces and nephews used as emotional weapons. It's not fair on you two and it's even more unfair on the kids.
  18. Well the first medals of the Olympics have been handed out. Congrats to China on their gold and bronze, and to Poland on their silver.

    I haven't even been here for a year yet, but I'm amazed at the amount of help and support I've had from everyone on here. I finally started posting my first stories and if it hadn't been for the constant feedback and butt-kicking from everyone, I know I would have given up after my first story. The forums are a great part of GA, and I've learned so much about my fellow GA'ers. May GA and its authors continue for many years to come.
  20. We finally left the Eiffel Tower just before two o'clock and had a late lunch in one of the cafes. Kodi, Jess and I went with something we were familiar with, which was croque monsieur; which is basically Welsh Rarebit, but made with brie instead of cheddar. Our parents had some fish stew thing called bouillabaisse, and Jess was even brave enough to try a snail; rather her than me. After we had allowed our food to digest, we headed back to the Bir-Hakeim station to travel to the Sacré Coeur B
  21. I got calibre a while ago when I got my Kindle. A friend of mine had tons of books on his e-reader and we spent ages converting them over. You can also connect you Kindle to your PC and simply drag and drop files onto your Kindle (though I think it only works with PDF files, I think Word docs have to either be sent to your Kindle e-mail for conversion, or you can convert them yourself into PDF files). And I remember betamax. My uncle ran out to buy it as soon as it was released and it cost something like £400. Though I could never tell a difference in quality between betamax and VHS.

    A reason to smile

    I've always believed that every cloud has a silver lining. No matter how bad things seem, or get, there will always be one thing, no matter how small, that will bring a ray of sunshine. Enjoy the wedding, no matter what role you play.
  23. Many happy returns Hope you had a great day
  24. Saw the Olympic torch today as it was in my neck of the woods
