Continues to be a great story. I love Josh's ghost stories and all the history/sightseeing you include. I miss Ricky though; the occasional email just isn't the same. I've been tempted to re-read the beginning again to get over my withdrawal

1. The hot wax dripped from the table like congealed blood from a vampire’s bite 2. The old lottery tickets on the empty train station seemed like hope unfulfilled 3. The oars on the boat rowed as if under the command of Poseidon 4. A pulled out slinky is like muscles stretched taut over bone. 5. Kevin swallowed the coffee as if it were life’s great elixir 6. The waves rolled over the sea with the hatred of a thousand scorned women 7. If I should wake before I die then my prayers ar

For me it would have to be Gene Roddenberry, and I'd ask him if Enterprise really did make him turn in his grave

I also like Der Schrei der Natur by Edvard Munch (my all time favs of Starry Night and Cranes Over Moon have already been mentioned)

I agree with Cia, so so cute

Some great tips from one of my favourite authors. My continuity notes and character profiles already take up nearly 5 meg of hard drive space but I don't know what I'd do without them; they are truly indispensable.

Happy birthday Myr Have a great day

The sun began to sink low behind the Gabilan Mountains and the moon started its ascent to take centre stage. Where, during the day, there had been a warm golden glow over the patchwork of fields, there was now a silvery, almost magical glow. As lizards ran over the crisp dry leaves, a skittering noise could be heard, and a clicking noise came from a nearby field, which was caused by field mice nibbling on some corn. Trees swayed slowly to and fro in the cool evening breeze. The moon was now

As part of the creative writing course I am taking, a recent assignment was to write a chapter to go at the start of John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men - written in the style of Steinbeck. I have decided to share it with you all.

So all we do is give this guy 1 trillion US dollars and he brings Gene Roddenberry's vision to life in only twenty years time? I say what is Mr Obama waiting for Can he do it? Yes he can.

George Takei is gay. He has been with his husband since the mid 1980s and they married about 4 years ago.

Thanks for the review (not sure how I missed it). Live long and prosper Taliesin.

I have no sympathy for the woman, and you definitely have nothing to feel guilty over. I've used the Underground since I was four years old, and rush hour is the most God awful thing in the world. It's the London version of Hunger Games. Nowhere else in the world could you put three thousand of the most civilized people together, and watch it descend into something out of Lord Of The Flies. I've been shoved, slapped, punched, kicked, spat on, told where to go, and on more than one occasion have even had my parentage questioned (and all by the time I was fourteen). Oh I've given as good as I've got over the years (and done far far worse than you) and revenge feels soooo good. Think of this as good practice for you when you go shopping up Oxford Street at Christmas - even I'm not brave enough to face that without my better half holding my hand . Keep up the good work and we'll make a true Londoner out of you.

I have to agree Dolores; this sets up so beautifully for a full length story. So many questions to be answered, but I wanna know the secret of the vases.

Thanks for reviewing Renee. I was feeling more than a little mischievous when I wrote this. I was so tempted to go with the obvious, but then I decided "Nah, curveball time"

Thanks for reviewing Yettie. One of my few prompts with humour in. Glad you liked it.

The feelings coursing through my body were electric. My heart was racing and pins and needles were running up and down my arms and legs. I had no idea it could feel this good; I felt like I was flying. I had denied myself this pleasurable experience for far too long; now I’d gotten my first taste I wanted more. I swallowed it and the aftertaste was incredible; the flavour lingered on my tongue and I could feel the creaminess of it on the roof of my mouth. I gave into temptation. I took ano

Thanks for reviewing Dolores. I'm glad you're enjoying the story.

It had been an unusually cold March and the land was covered in nearly eight inches of snow. The snow had started falling shortly before noon on the sixteenth and had fallen pretty much constantly for the past forty eight hours. Bryn Jones had just arrived in London. He had received orders from the Ddraig-Cyfrinachau to follow a team of archaeologists whose recent activities had been escalated to the Council. Professor Gillian Childs had been under observation by one of the Council’s academ

I didn't notice any women at all on the list. Was it only male actors this person included? The other notable missing person was Sara Gilbert (Darlene from Roseanne, and Leslie Winkle from Big Bang Theory)

Thanks for the review. Well, it is long by my standards which are usually under 1k Glad you liked it.

Thanks for reviewing Cia. I thought it was about time I wrote something more emotional for the prompts, as most of my previous ones have been horror/fantasy. The story ended up being a little on the long side for a prompt, but it kind of got away from me.

‘But if you don't do it, you know you will regret it for the rest of your life.’ I told myself that for the first time three years ago; the first time I saw two boys getting beaten up at my old school in the playground. They were stupid enough to get caught doing something at school that two boys shouldn’t have been doing and they got what they got. It sickened me; I knew all about gays and their ways, my dad had raised me right. I’d been expelled from my last school for beating up

A really well written piece of flash fiction. It has good flow, and the emotions leap from the pages. A truly touching story, which sadly shows probably the only time when an entire family gets together for anything. Like others, after I'd read it, I had to search it twice for the words from the prompt - a sign of how well they were integrated into the story. It's great seeing another author who is using the prompts, and I for one would like to see more.

Just realised I've left no reviews, my bad. This continues to be a brilliant series full of emotional highs and lows, especially with what happened to Tom and poor Josh getting dragged through court like that. At least things finally seem to be looking up for Kevin. Looking forward to the next book with Nigel's visit and I wonder else will come from Graham's "gift". This is one of my two favourite stories on here. Keep up the great writing.
