    This song immediately popped into my head when I read the title of the thread! Of course . . . I was out dancing to it in the clubs in my twenties then. Edit: Sept '93 actually! So, I take back my age . . . It was early thirties. Yeah, I didn't give that up until late.

    Ron commented on Topher Lydon's story chapter in Chapter 14

    I'd forgotten about Dickie and Serena. I was shocked all over again.

    The bar talk had me cracking up. The poor boy just seems so out of his element.

    Chapter 1

    Ron commented on Topher Lydon's story chapter in Chapter 1

    Because of forum interest in your writing I decided to check out your stories and I picked this one. At around four chapters in I realized that I'd read the story before, before I officially joined GA, and it made enough of an impression that bits and pieces began to come back to me. Enough so, Topher, that I have decided to read and enjoy this story again.

    Chapter 15 (3.5)

    Ron commented on JulieLHayes's story chapter in Chapter 15 (3.5)

    I loved those first two paragraphs. They really speak for the emotional bond that you've established for Marshal and Lee.

    Chapter 33

    Ron commented on dkstories's story chapter in Chapter 33

    There was an awful lot of information to take in but it sounded meaningful. I felt like my ship had sank and I was treading water while reading it though--and without a life vest. For a person who is not keen on war stories it was difficult to get through but I'm hoping I take enough away so as to not be out of the loop for the next chapter.

    Does that mean Rudy doesn't have to take the Prozac?

    Prompt 340

    Ron commented on Andy78's story chapter in Prompt 340

    I think your prompt got lost, Andy. The usual commentator group is late, including me--I just found the story. Only Valkyrie was on the spot prompt. That was quite a full stop ending to this Halloween treat. The mean old man setup was great and I liked the backstory for those mentioned early on in the story. Nice!

    Avalon 2005

    Ron commented on Carlos Hazday's story chapter in Avalon 2005

    I think the prompts offer a good chance to let one's fingers run away, to take a chance on different styles, and to practice all of those wonderful things that writing can do. That had nice imaginative twist to it, Carlos. I liked it.

    Chapter 14 (3.4)

    Ron commented on JulieLHayes's story chapter in Chapter 14 (3.4)

    I'm not a big fan of serialized flash fiction normally. I read them, but I don't particularly like the format. I feel differently about this story, Julie. You're capturing a tone with these chapters that strikes a very nice balance of the mundane and humor, masculinity and affection, and with a little fun discipline thrown in for spice. I find it an excellent combination.

    Sounds like you were in need of a great new chapter in life and have begun it already. Good for you. Happy Birthday. Many happy returns!

    Gifted at sports, he left the others to eat dust. Shit, did I have to pick today to tell them?! Jamie guessed at which one topped; that's who he wanted.

    Two Frisbees in air at all times—tension is rising.

    No one else? Fine! This story has a dark side (no relation to the Sith) to it but there is much to relieve that aspect, too. I find the story to be more firmly placed among the fantasy genre than that of Sci-Fi, and Renee points out some very good qualities of the story: Damon and Kai love each other very much and that comes across without fail; family plays a big role, and to good effect. Like Renee, I think, this is a good read. And, it has the benefit of being a lead-in to Andrew's newest work - The Chosen. For those who enjoy Andrew Todd's writing, and specifically The Chosen, it's a must read. Anyone who enjoys fantasy, with a hint of Sci-Fi, will appreciate Empath's Kiss.

    Although Wayne's story intro for Body and Soul scares me a little, I'm going to dive right in at the top and work my way down. Big applause to Renee and those others who had a hand in bringing us this fall's anthology.
