Happy Birthday, Wildone!
-
Thank you, CassieQ. I do have something in the works for these two. I quite like them myself.

That's just it, Y_B, it's during the process, as you say, not afterwards that you get the impression that you might be comfortable with the person you're talking to. Afterwards, any further interaction emphasizes that initial gut reaction or thrashes it and you move on.

It is my understanding that Quote and MultiQuote are tools of the forum to reference someone else's previous post. I don't think your (hh5) use of quote to post a new comment into a thread works well. Shouldn't outside references be acknowledged by quotations marks and an indication of where it originated. The way you use "quote" here is misleading and perhaps it is best that you adjust your use of it.

It seems you have a Hiccup in your Hook-up.

I like your use of box/diary concept in the story. You turn Nathan into a Pandora trying to avoid reading/opening the diary/box which kind of turns this Pandora into a Zeus figure. Twisty! 'Not all lies in a relationship are bad.' - I think Ovid wrote something similar to this. Lies can sometimes serve a purpose. Such as getting your boyfriend to read your diary, yes? So this lie wasn't necessarily evil so much as it was subterfuge. All is well in love and war it has been said. That this diary/box and admonition to not read/open turned out good is a lucky thing. Very nice little story, Advocatus D., very nice indeed.

Mimei Ogawa, the Bright Star Who Flickered Out Quickly
Ron commented on thebrinkoftime's blog entry in Rise and Shine
You tell a good tale. -
What an incredibly involving story. From beginning to end my mind never wandered one bit. Do you write like this all the time? Consider me hooked. Like Aditus, I never want to find that damn thing in the walls of my 156 yr old home. This was very well written and felt so polished up until the very last sentence and then I thought ugh, what's this doing here? Minor quibble aside, I meant every compliment. What a gem you have created with this. Thanks, Cassie and Bravo!

Now isn't this interesting. I had no hint in what was going to happen as I didn't look at the tags. A shape shifter vampire is a definite new twist. Who was the old lady that lived in the house? Was she guardian, protector or worshiper of the vampire thingy in the cell? And why was there no replacement for her there to keep the young folks out. It was only a matter of time till it happened but the nosy little thieves got there first. Cool and colorful take on the mythos, Celethiel.

Happy Birthday, Totallyy!

Here is the nasty thing.

Absolutely Fantastic. What a showman!

Hey, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Do you mean this guy?

It's nice that your focusing on Dean (totally as a suggestion, of course) for a few chapters. Gives us a chance to get to know him as more than the talented jock brother who wants to get drunk. Right? Dispelling the typical work hard - drink hard - play hard jock boy image to give some depth won't hurt his rep.

I dislike it on the iPad 2. The swipe pop up feature interferes when reading on it. I swipe from the bottom of the screen to scroll dialogue when the pad is in a holder when I read. The swipe up feature keeps popping up and I have to stop and knock it back down to continue. This is something I find quite annoying. All the features in the pop up can be accessed already elsewhere with little effort. I don't see the need for it on this device. As for the phone, it's a 4 so not everything in the update applies. I use it for texting and talking to people (imagine that), take a few pictures, maps and look something up (rarely) so not a big deal.

Matthew Lewis sure grew up nice and attractive.

That looks so much better than toad in the hole!

Political Battle Rages on in Texas Over HIV/AIDS Drugs for Low Income Patients
Ron commented on WNevinJ72's blog entry in The Saga Continues...
$19.2 million in funding for over 2,000 people - this figure is misleading, it could be 2,001 or 100,000 people or more. If the number is 2,000-2,999 then $19.2 mill would be the shocking number for even that low number of people. HIV meds can run upwards of 25K a year per person without insurance. So it seems a drop in the bucket to ask for. -
I'm afraid that Toad in the Hole doesn't look all that appealing regardless of how it tastes.

I think that it is safe to say that you are not a professional science fiction writer. Still, this is an enjoyable story and the basic idea is interesting. It seems the alien has been dropped off, indeed sacrificed perhaps by his culture as a means to test the puny earthlings. If we advance sufficiently they come back, if not it's just one individual of who knows how many others. Or, it could be a race in decline hoping for future partners in the cosmos with the capacity for understanding the knowledge they've acquired before it is lost to the ages; this idea of hope entombed with the alien ties in to the Pandora myths well. Thanks, Bill.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you not one, but TWO Benedict Cumberbatch
Ron replied to Thorn Wilde's topic in The Lounge
This is my last nod to this topic. As you all probably know already, Benedict is the voice and movement of Smaug in the new 'The Hobbit' move this December. I ran into this (below) when running around the web looking for anything related to that. This is Cumberbatch reading 'Ode To a Nightingale'. I had no idea that his voice was so mellifluous. This is perhaps best listened to with a pair of good quality headphones. It resonates in your head. HEAR it is: http://benedict-cumberbatch-voice.tumblr.com/post/53480681873/omg Just so masculine and beautiful. -
This is a fine story, Comicfan. It was a nice take on the box and with the gods. The real story for me were those that came into the Lunch Box, particularly Charlie. I began your story during lunch and I had a difficult time swallowing past the emotional upswell when I got to him. You gave just enough info about Charlie's difficulties that it was so easy to make a connection and with Pandora's observations... Well, I really got caught up in it. Everything flowed so well throughout. Thanks for putting this in the anthology.
