Wow! Awwww...thank you guys...soooooo much! ::Giddy And Strange Now:: LO! I love you all sooo much! Thanks! You've just made it that much better!

Maybe we should have a limit? Like five chapters or something? I don't know...we don't wanna spoil it for anyone who hasn't read a longer story all the way to the end, you know?

A sexual encounter??? With WHO? DETAILS!!! Hehehe! GO or it, man! ::Giggles:: Heehe was it with Elijah Wood? He's soooo cute! LOL! I got to meet him once...his eyes really ARE that blue! Mmmmmm!

Ok, so should we get a list together? And what day would you guys wanna do it? Maybe once a week? Like Thursdays or something? I'd definitely be down for the 'exclusive' content idea too! Although I have to work on my Summer Anthology story first! I need to get back to readingother stories on a regular basis. It's something I wanna make time for.

Agin made a good point in his "Never Again" post! I was thinking that maybe we could get some story assignments to read each week, and discuss what we like and don't like about them and how they might improve. We could have people submit some of their favorite stories (I'm sure everybody is reading something different), and if you're a writer...submit one of your own! Why not? You know? Hell, it might even make me read faster. I put everything off til the last minutes! Ugh! But I'd love to talk it over with you guys. What do you think? Maybe every Friday we discuss a new one?

((Hugz)) Thanks Ag! Wow...you know what, I seriously have to go and re-read that story myelf, now that you mention it. It has been a long time. Hehehe, I toss stories aside like a footbll before I get tackled for the chance to start on another one sometimes! I DO remember what I was going through when I wrote it though. Rought times. I doubt that particular boy ever thought about me again, which sucks because I really cared for him something awful. But you know...not meant to be. Life goes on. If you liked this one, you might like "Save Or Sacrifice", Ag! (That one's also 'finished'!) I was ACHING with heartbreak when I wrote that one! LOL! But the story, I think, came out pretty close to how I wanted it to. So I'm sorta 'proud' of that one. ::Ego Moment:: Ps- I'd love to discuss more stories on this board! Sounds great! Not just MINE all the time, of course! Hehehe! But if you guys have any suggestions...let us know! From GA, Nifty, AwesomeDude, The Fort, The Chat Shack, wherever!

Hehehehe, nothing! I NEVER get to see one! And if anybody saw mine, they didn't say anything. Athough there WAS one time that I was on the subway with it on, and I got invited to a party by a young guy (young like..18/19) who was with a bunch of his friends. I didn't know him at all. Didn't even have a conversation. He just asked a few seconds before he got off the train. One of those things I'll prolly regret the rest of my days! LOL! But that's a TRUE story! One that I eventually made 'fictional' with "We Are Many". So that's where that idea came from. The best stories are just reality with a personal twist, I always say. ::Kicking self for not going:: Stupid. If only life was easy to go back and re-edit. Could have had a happy ending. ::Winks::

Hehehe...it's a nice day out...I might just wear my "C" too. Just to see what happens. Never know. Maybe I'll run into a creature of the night myself. ::Wicked Grin::

Thanks sooo much, dude! Hehehe, I LOVE ya for it! And like I said in an email to ya....there might be a sequel before the end of the year! So I hope you'll like those too!!! Ps- I *LOVE* Elijah Wood!!! I met him in person once...his eyes really ARE that blue! My GOD! SEXY!!!! Sighhhh...............

http://www.voy.com/17262/ Brand new vampire spinoff, "GFD: He's My Music Now", and the new chapter of "Gone From Daylight: Blood Ties" went up last night! So check it out, and let me know what you think!

Hehehe, good detective work, sir! But...you actually found all seven! As "Boy #6" was originally posted in TWO parts, instead of one!

http://www.voy.com/17262 A new vampire spin off, "GFD: He's My Music Now", and the newest chapter of "Gone From Daylight: Blood Ties" is now up in the Comicality Library! You WON'T wanna miss either one of them!

Wow...some EXCELLENT points made, dude! Seriously! You've definitely given me more to think about. ::Nods::

Parts one and two of this short 'spinoff' story is now available in the Comicality Library! ( http://www.voy.com/17262/ ) So check it out! Also be sure to read "GFD: Archaic Envy" and "GFD: Ransom" by Kiwi and Prince! You don't wanna miss 'em!

Another Mechanics 101question today. I've been wondering about this for some time. Because my spellcheck always catches this word, and maybe it just needs updating, but I would think that it was a valid part of the English language by now. So...simply put... Is 'OUTED' a word? The past tense of being 'out' (as in the closet). Or...maybe a verb? An action. "He 'outed' him to the whole school!" Am I crazy, or is that just a 'glitch in the Matrix' as far as my spellcheck is concerned? Anybody know for sure?

Whenever an author writes a brand new story, they get a chance to truly create their own little world. One whre they control the characters, the situations, and the outcome....happy, or otherwise. But if this is an everyday story taking place in the real world, it is undoubtedly limited by 'realistic' people and events. That pretty much goes without saying. You can stretch things a LITTLE bit, but only so far before your audience goes, "Hey WAIT a minute....!" Hehehe! However, an author writing science fiction, horror, orto a further extent, 'fantasy'...those boundaries can be as limitless as the imagination can take you. You ARE making it all up, aren't you? Starting anew. Tearing down the walls of reality and building them upagain from scratch? This weeks question is...does an author have 'total' freedom to whatever they want to do when writing sci-fi and fantasy? Or is it even HARDER...knowing that you've got to set up the rules and adhere to them even closer than ever before? And how do you set up those rules without being boring? You'd have to explain an entirely different world, with it's own history and possible future. Just think of how long it took Tolkien to do it in the "Lord Of The Rings" books! And yet, not as long or detailed with the "Harry Potter" books. What are yurthoughts on this? How much 'freedom' does fantasy give you? Let us know!

Hehehe, yeah, I know. I'm a total slacker. LOL! Maybe by the time Vol 3 is ready, I will have earned my stripes!

Hehehe...Ricky! ::Giggles:: ((Super teddy bear hugs)) Thank you! you're the sweetest guy ever! And Kiwi....hehehe, you know how I feel about you, cutie! ::Winks::

Howdy everybody! I hope you're all feeling great this weekend! Sunshine and all! Believe it or not, I had completely forgotten that this was Easter weekend! ::Smax Forehead:: I have been so backwards this week with stuff, that I didn't realize the holiday until I saw the kids out of school on Friday. I'm odd. Hehehe! Anyway, I had some fun, I worked, I BBQ'd, I worked, I even did the church thing this year...and then I worked. But all in all a good holiday! Alright, first things first... I am having some severe problems with the mailing list, and it doesn't look like this problem can be fixed. The frustrations can be conveniently 'rearranged' from time to time, replacing one 'ARGHH' issue with another one equally aggravating...but it doesn't look like it can be repaired. Hehehe! But I TRULY want to give Jim and ACFan thanks for working sooo hard to try and correct things. They realy did. Some things just aren't meant to be, I guess. SO...for now, I'll be putting *ALL* of my story announcements right here on the "Comicality Announcement" page! ( https://www.gayauthors.org/forums/forum/176-comicality-announcements/ ) You can just go to my homepage at any time, and see all of the brand new updates right there in the sidebar on the left! I'll keep you guys up to date on everything going on personally. But don't go cancelling your mailing list spots just yet! Because if I find something else, I can just transfer all of your email addresses from one list to another (IF that becomes neccessary)! There's nearly 600 of you,so I don't wanna have you all sign up all over again. So I'm working on it to see what I can do. And then we can hurry back to business as usual. Cool? That said, April marks the beginning of the brand new "30 Days Of Night 2" updates!!! Which means vampire stories GALORE are waiting for you to gobble up one by one! I've been working night after night to explore the "GFD" saga from many different angles, and tried really hard to come up with something new, something different, and yet still undeniably "GFD"!!! So I hope you enjoy them as they hit the site, one after the other, and let me know what you think! And look for "Gone From Daylight: Blood Ties" to begin again on April 11th! That's just *ONE* itty bitty week away from today! Hehehe! Also, keep an eye on the "Blood Bank Forum" ( http://www.voy.com/208535/ ) for additional comments, extras, etc! AND...starting Thursday, the "GFD: Treausre Hunt" trivia is moving to the Comicality Library ( http://www.voy.com/17262/ ) for the month of April! Take a chance and play! You never know when a special little 'prize' might be attached for getting the answers right! The bloodsucking fun begins tonight with the post of "GFD: Circle Nocturnus" ( http://www.voy.com/17262/14508.html ) on the Comicality Library! So check it out, and I'll talk to you soon! (Look for part two on Tuesday!) Remember to look at the "Comicality Announcement" ( https://www.gayauthors.org/forums/forum/176-comicality-announcements/ ) page for current updates until thi problem gets resolved, and I'll do everything that I can to stay in communication with you all!

They say that the symbolic significance of a circle is a magical one. It represents the concept of completion. Where the beginning and end of the circle coexist in the same place...at the same time. Where the current, inevitable, design is revealed. And the acts surrounding it are given meaning. Purpose. They say that prophecy is an illusion. And yet...there have been many cases where, in the dark of night, fortune tellers have discovered a means to pierce through this 'veil' of time...and see what is on the other side. Seeing the design...before it is finished. They say that love conquers all. But that has yet to have been fully tested. Can love conquer death? Can it conquer madness? Can it somehow create a barricade between you and the frightening threat that is scratching ever so savagely at your front door? Or....does it truly TAKE a demon....to BEAT a demon? The circles are getting smaller and smaller. Constricting. Tightening. Signaling the coming 'end'. The completion of the prophcy. The revelation of the ultimate design. None can escape it. Their very <i>inclusion</i> in the design....*IS* the design. The end result was put into motion the moment the journey began. The circle is completing itself now. You merely have to wait for the two points to reconnect again. To coexist. And only then will the unavoidable event come to fruition. It's pointless to fight prophecy. It WILL happen... It is the Mimic's duty to witness this...And it is his duty to bear the unmerciful pain that comes with it. <p>It is the only way. He's all we have... - - - "Gone From Daylight: Blood Ties" - - - "Lives hang in the balance...and the only thing standing between one's undying love and one's neverending hate...is MADNESS!" THE SAGA RETURNS ON APRIL 11TH!!!
