Did he not READ wonderful fiction before he began posting it? Commenting on it? Helping to improve it through those comments?

Davewri wrote in a review I was expecting a Jerry Springer Thanksgiving family reunion Mark replied A Jerry Springer Thanksgiving? As the last chapter? LMAO. Are you TRYING to get Mark lynched?

I suppose by those standards David Eddings, Robert Jordan and Terry Goodkind as well as a host of other authors that occupy my bookshelves should stop cluttering up the bookstores too? You are absolutely right Thorn - I never go into a bookstore and come away with only the title I went in for. I usually leave having expended all my expendable income for that day.

Just taking a moment to say Happy Anniversary Mark Arbour Thank you for nine years of wonderful fiction!

I know I said this in the reviews, but I feel it bears repeating. Thank you Mark ( and team Arbour) for your patience, perseverance, and mostly for your love of writing. It shows in everything you do.

What a lovely way to wrap up the current story and still leave threads loose to be picked up in the next installment. I believe that the happy drama in this family is at least as compelling as the conflicts! Thank you Mark, for your patience, perseverance, and mostly for your love of writing. It shows in everything you do.

Very nicely done Wayne. The way you brought dad in to calm Franks fears without actually telling him the facts that would really have to come from young Chris to have the right impact was terrific. You couldn't have given us any more hints without everyone sewing the pieces together! One more brother would have tipped it for sure!

Hehehe - guess the bros had definitive ideas about there being a new Mrs Kringle, not a second Mr!

There are several success stories too - Lake Placid New York for example. They hosted a second Winter Olympics, serves as a training facility, and draws tourists year round. Was a trip to sit in the sun watching the ski jumpers practice their arial gymnastics to land in a pool in July!

10:15 on a sunny Sunday morning and trying to decide what to do to enjoy it before the weather man starts cursing and using the 4 letter "s" word again for tomorrow and Tuesday.

My My! Someone has been lighting fires under posteriors this week!

Now, now, An Unexpected Journey and The Lone Ranger quotes are hardly ancient history! I don't think Janeway would have gone over so well as Elizabeth or Nicole. Somehow Kate just fit the character, but perhaps that was a function of Mulgrew's portrayal Your turn fuzzy one!.

LOL NO I DON"T! I never can remember if I am talking to you today, tomorrow or yesterday! To paraphrase Capt Janeway from Star Trek Voyager, "Time differentials give me a headache"

You now have the comfort of knowing your wife truly does love you - and for who you are, not who she wants you to be. That certainly is a wonderful place to be.

Have a happy !!!!

Glad I am not the only one likes HEA's! And I love that we got the answer to the previous prompts questions too! Well done sir!

Last I recall, JJ was doing the home schooling/tutor thing to facilitate his traveling to tournaments and make scheduling ice time easier. I believe that is a common practice in the more advanced skating crowd, is it not? At least it is with the equestrian crowd!

LMAO! Daniel sounds like my hubby about 10 minutes before people start arriving on Christmas Eve around here! But his line is "ratty shorts and a sports bra" And you are NOT supposed to be giving that throw cover thing away like that!

When I first joined, I didn't really know anyone around the sight so I listed myself as ask, but I make no secret of the fact that I'm straight. I used to read a lot on Literotica but found myself becoming irritated with the sight. Seemed like stories were being stolen from there more and more, and it resulted in a lot of stories I was following just going poof. I sort of tripped on a M/M story accidentally and got hooked on the plot before I even realized it WAS M/M. When that author decided to make the switch over here, I followed him. Once I got here and caught up on his story, I started poking around and the rest as they say, is history. Why do I stay and read gay fiction when I am a married straight lady? Simple - I am a sucker for a good romance and good drama in a story. None of the other sights make finding those sorts of stories anywhere near as easy as GA does. When I first started reading here I swore I was going to stick to completed stories with the execption of the story I followed to this sight, but so much for that idea! I'm hooked so I start following a favorite authors new work right from the get go.

Insanely good, but still creepy!

LOL setting corporate policy with the cage full of monkeys again are we?

By the powers invested in me, I now pronounce you man and knife.

You go again wolfie - you got here first!

Gotta admit - I could remember the name of the character but not the name of the movie, so I Googled! Gotta sit this one out!

I would be interested to know how the participation this year stacks up as compared to previous years? Were there more nominations, or fewer? Did as many people participate in the final vote? I would also love to see a listing of all nominated stories, even if they didn't make the final ballot. It would be a huge boost for any writer to even get one nomination. At least I would have been honored if I had been eligible and been nominated.
