First time comment from me. I got to know about you leucimia a few weeks ago. I'm glad that you're doing well, considering the circumstances. My best wishes for successful fight against the disease and a fest recovery.

Um... my pleasure? I simply felt, that the BB didn't get the attention it deserved, through being rarely mentioned/linked. Daniel PS: The last installments of Savage Moon were great. I'm curious what happens if Wesley meets someone out of his "old" life, or even someone of his family. But I guess that's ways down the road, if it even happens.

Hehe. Thanks, but I'm quite capable to google for blood + bank + comicality. If it's the intention to keep the blood bank hidden, my apologies. I wasn't aware of that. But then I'm curious, why so?

Heya! I know Comicalitie's stories for years and are a pretty big fan. Maybe I should finally take the time to write a mail of appreciation. But my post here has another reason. Today the "GFD Blood Bank" came back into my focus, because of an email from it's mailinglist. Most should know the Blood Bank, it's a fan-project, promoted by Comsie himself, where everyone who's ambitious enough can try to publish fan fictions that play in the GFD-universe. Personally I think it's a good project. The problem is that I tend to forget about it, cause it isn't mentioned anywhere. Maybe I'm plain dumb, but I even can't find one link to it. Not here at GA's main site, not in the Shack Out Back, not even in the mails that come from the Blood Banks own mailinglist! Especially newbies should have a really hard time finding it. I have to google it, to get it's address! As I said, maybe I'm to dumb to find it referenced anywhere, but if I have somewhat of a point, who can install links to it at strategic points? It's a pity if the Blood Bank doesn't get the attention it deserves, because it's rarely mentioned. So long, Daniel

Same for me. If you look on his site, there's no chapter 14. I guess somebody announced it, before it was really uploaded/published. *shrugs* So I'm still impatiently waiting. Regards, Daniel

Just my thoughts. The few days I played "Sims 2", I had two boys making out. Don't know, if it's european thinking, but I sometimes don't quite get it. Example GTA Vice City: Bar from it being a video game, for fun, not the real world, it's quite ok if you kill people en masse, but if there

A bit late, but happy birthday! Does it mean something, the we've got the same birthday and are both into DK's writings? Daniel

Just got this link from a friend: The song is in dutch, but there are english subtitles. I found it quite moving. Made me dream, that, not so far away, we're this far. Sadly I'm quite pessimisitc for free adoptions to happen in Germany or, "god beware!", the US, in the near future. Greetings, Daniel

Hi Howie. Well, if you're thinking about posting it online, you should offer it to a german audience. I suppose there are quite a few german people surfing gayauthors (as myself), but I it's not the right place for german content. A well known german site with gay fiction is www.nickstories.de. Take a look at it. I can only advise to submit your work there. Beste Gr

I don't use the Internet Explorer. So this is out of option for me. And why was the first thing that came to my mind, when I read Dan's comment, Homer Simpson saying exactly what he wrote. Is there a episode, where he says something similar? *unsure*

I'm not really sure. It was over a year ago, that I discovered the site. But I've narrowed it down to two possibilities. Either there was a link in Dan Kirks "Dawn Of Tears" at Nifty, or I googled for the story. Quite often developing storys are hosted elsewhere and posted a bit faster there, than at Nifty.

Wooohoo! *rofl* This made my morning. :-) PS: I've also minor problems with the site. There are sometimes short outage which make the site unavailable. Normally they only last a few seconds. If I try half a minute later everthing works again. Or at the moment the lookup for the subdomains doesn't work. I only got on Dom Luka's site, cause I acessed it via subfolder in the URL. But don't bother with my tech talk, I hope Myr understands it. ;-)

Thanks for all the birthday-greetings! Didn't read it until now. Stupid time difference. Daniel

Definitely "Event Horizon". Saw it in cinema. Big screen, the volume on the loud side, it really scared the hell out of me. But it only worked in the theater. Saw it once on TV, didn't impress me at all.

In my local intranet we use DC++. A filesharing-programm based on "hubs" that one connects to. This noon I was quite surprised that a function, normaly used for update notices, is now used for US election propaganda. At start a message window pops up containing the folloing message: I don't want to comment this much. Only that it's true. I can't access www.georgewbush.com directly. What do you think about this? One one hand about blocking european IPs on this address, on the other hand about using a non related program for such a purpose. Daniel

Sorry to disagree, but in my opinion it's to much information at once. It's kind of overwhelming. The "old" index page is rather simple in design, but states a easy to recognize welcome message and presents links to, and and an overview of, the different parts of the website. Now there's too much at once. While former links of the old index page are in the menu bar (as konwn in the forum), there are to much other menus. Also I don't think all this forum infos (pinned and new topics, votes, latest discussions, recent articles) belong onto an index page. These infos may be important for me and other users, that use the site often, but is it of interest for somebody who visits the site first time and simply wants to read a story? I can live with one more click to the forum, wich presents me these infos in a more organized fashion. Then (again my opinion) the index page is to big. I suppose it was one of my prof. who recomended, that a start page of an internet presence should present an simple an easy to recognize overview of the whole website. In addition it should fit onto one screen page, if possible. Now I'm using a rather high resolution and the index page needs about 3 screens. I need to scrool down whole screens, if I want to view everything. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to smaller the work myr put into the page. He did and does a really impressive job. I simply don't think such a brimful (hope that's the right expression, I mean "

*rofl* Just great! Actually I already saw parts of it one the evening news. But complete it's much funnier.

I didn't vote yet and I'm not sure if i'll vote 'cause I don't live in the US. But I'm not sure if I understand the term "National Sales Tax" right. Tax on everything sold? Is automaticly payed when you buy something, 'cause the tax is already added to the price of what you're buying? If that's what is meant I'm a little bit surprised that the US doesn't have such a tax. In Germany (Right! That's where I live. ) we've got such an tax since I can remember. It's ... *searches for bill from last groceries shoping* (Funny! It's from Wal-Mart. Guess you know this chain. ) 7% on food and 16% on everything else. By what one of my roomates tells, from his vacation in USA, the food is expensive enought as it is. This means fresh and regular food. Burgers and other fastfood ought to be cheap, compared to here. I spend about 60 to 80

For those interested (if there is anybody ), I made a few higher-quality screenshots and put them on my small webspace: screenshot gallery Have fun! Daniel

Stupid game. Kept me awake whole last night! But actually that wasn't so bad, cause I was awake and could let the painters in at 7:30am. I'm going astray here... I have to agree with Myr, it can be rather astonishing what two Sims can do together. I couldn't resist and created my own little "family": They're even political correctly reffered as couple (in law). I was surprised, that this is possible. There are a few more interresting screenshots, but picture size an quality was still set to standard (wich means very low ) and I'm playing with a rather high screen resolution. So there's not much to see, cause everything is really small and rich with artifacts. In all Maxis did a really great job with this game. I have to go now, there's this addictive game just an alt+tab away... Daniel

Hehe. Don't give me any ideas. A vacation to the Phillipines ist one of my little dreams. There's only this problem which is symbolized by an '

Hi there! I hope this topic doesn't produce to many groans. I just got an email-rebound, to the adress I created for this forum, stating that many recipients are unknown. Seems some computer is spreading the Sober.G-worm, spoofing my email adress, amongst others. Normally I wouldn't be bothered. Happens all the time. But two things make me wonder. First, I created this adress only for this forum. So it shouldn't be known much/elsewhere. Second the infected computer belongs to an broadband ISP named "Cable 21 Technolgies" in the Phillipines. Judging from the assigned IP-range the company must be rather small. So, if anyone uses this ISP, check your machine! ;-) I hope the rest isn't to annoyed by this post, or all the tech-talk. Best regards, Daniel

Happy Birthday, Myr! Be glad, that you can't hear my singing. Daniel

Comicality did it again! Took quite a time till I started reading "Savage Moon", but now I'm done and i want MORE! :-) That I'm not on my knees, begging, is all. Only bad thing ist, that I have to wait till april. But I'm sure it'll be worth the wait, also it may be hard. TheDaniel PS: At last I replied in some way to Comicality. I'm reading much online, but normaly can't work up the courage to reply to the author. I know it's stupid. ;-)
