  1. Congrats! Purple looks great on you This is very well-deserved
  2. Congrats on the feature, Caz! Wow... that's a lot of reading! lol I'll try to get to at least some before the discussion day.

    Love

    One of the things I love about animals is that they love unconditionally. They don't judge. They don't care when we make mistakes. My cats always seem to sense when I've had a bad day and need comforting. They're not lap cats, but on those days they will lay a little closer to me, sometimes even right against me, and give me head butts so I pet them. I'll never forget those that have passed - Sebastian, Turtle, Rubycat... they were all special and will always hold a place in my heart. It sounds like Ripley was very special, too.
  4. Congrats, Puppilull!
  5. AC and Parker (along with many others) did a great job fooling us. Very tricky of AC to set the story in Europe and use European punctuation style. I thought for sure Puppilull or JHunterDunn wrote it. While Parker's story screamed "him", I thought someone else may have written it to make us think Parker wrote it... so hiding in plain sight was a good strategy. lol I'll have to re-read the stories when I'm home from vacation.
  6. I think that's a great idea, Tim.
  7. Wow! What a great thing thing to wake up to this morning! Thank you so much to everyone who voted for my story I'm beyond thrilled that Peter's story resonated with so many people. Congrats to AC and Parker and all who wrote such wonderful stories.
  8. I'm so sorry about Alpha Mini-cat looks like she's a great momma and the kittens are so cute! Congrats and keep us updated. I expect lots of pictures of the little fluffkins.
  9. I'm sure I'll sound like a broken record, since I say the same thing whenever I read your prompts, but more please! This was a nice introduction and I'm glad, too, that it wasn't Dillon who rescued him. I wouldn't be surprised if Maureen set up the talk. It sounds like Tony needs a smack upside the head. I'd love to listen in on his talk with Dillon. Nice take on the prompt. Welcome back!
  10. Great advice Cole, and I love the way you presented it.
  11. This is a lot of fun! lol From Faeries Anonymous: "Hi, my name is Jonquil--but you can call me Jon--and I am a faery." And then the murders began. From Max's Garage: "I'm very disappointed in you, Conners." And then the murders began. From Alex's Legacy: "Tell me about Alex," Aaron said softly, stroking my hair. And then the murders began. Apparently I start a lot of stories with dialogue. lol
  12. From Penguin: The man walking toward me had a cat on his shoulder. And then the murders began.

    LOL I figured it was a different Noel

    You have a very interesting concept. I'm very curious about what happened to Noel. I'm confused about the name though. Is it Noel or Ellie?

    This reminds me a bit of the Machine from Person of Interest. Interesting start. You left enough breadcrumbs that I'd like to find out more. On to the next chapter....
  16. Great interview I loved Crave and am excited to see you're planning a sequel. Do you set aside specific times to write or write when inspiration strikes?
  17. I think either Parker wrote it with the intent to make use think AC wrote it, or AC wrote it with the intent to make us think Parker wrote it. I also wouldn't be surprised if someone else wrote it -- like Macgreg--- with the intent of tricking us all, too. LOL
  18. Welcome! It's always nice seeing new authors.
  19. I'll have to review the stories again before making any guesses. There's some names I expected to see and others aren't there that I did expect to see... I can't wait to find out who the winners are!
  20. "Sparkle" is a great series. I'm really looking forward to reading more.
  21. I am planning on having two stories for this anthology. One is already completed and beta read. I need to make a few changes and then send it on to my editor. It incorporates both themes. The second one is in the planning stages. It will be another story in the Treehaven Woods universe and revolves around the "unintended consequences" theme. I don't usually write from an outline, but will jot down some notes and work from those.
  22. Thank goodness there's no algebra required... I freely admit to being perplexed by numbers, which is why I went into a language-based field. lol I have no idea about the mathematical concepts you write about, but most certainly appreciate your ability to bring life and poetry to something not typically considered poetic. My hat's off to you, sir.
  23. I can delete attachments now and my attachment allotment has increased. Thanks!

    Persistent

    I liked this. You kept me guessing through the whole story, and that's a good thing. The narrator must have really loved his friend to have stood by him through his entire life. It's a great tale of hope and forgiveness. And also a tale of redemption, since the friend was able to turn his life around. I wonder how much was due to his friend's influence? Thanks for sharing.
