Comicality

So far, so good! All of the character lists and all will go up this weekend, and next weekend the beginning list of authors will be posted! So far, the first FIVE chapters have been spoken for! But I'm always looking for more writers! So if anyone else wants to join the party, send me an email, or post a request on any one of the three message boards, and I'll make it happen! Cool? Thanks for the awesome compliments on the story too! I'm happy that you guys liked it!

Thanks Wildcard! And we definitely need the help too! ::Giggles:: Evidently, a lot of us (me included) collectively seem to be either terrified or clueless about finding that special someone. So if you guys have any tips, advice, or questions, it would really help. I'm thinking of making this a month long conversation once speak week is over, because this is definitely a tool needed to find that cute boyfriend and 'write our own story' in life!

You know Jeff, that's funny that you mentioned that. Becaue originally, "Lost In Shadow" was originally going to be a spinoff about the 'Com' vampire charater's origin. (Years ago. The title was in reference to his extra.) But I like this idea MUCH better, especially with other authors involved! The thing is, while your idea might make a good spinoff of the spinoff...I kinda thought about making it a rule to not have any changing perspectives for the story. The sole reason being that it can either become confusing, or take the story in a completely different direction, following another character's thoughts and actions instead of the main character. But I am kinda curious how THAT dream turned out for ya! Hehehe! Big BIG thanks to Jamessavik too!!! I still have the emails you sent me about this, and I'm definitely going to use he awesome advice you gave me to help mold this into a fun experience for us all! I do, as of right now, have 3 editors for each chapter that volunteered back when the idea was first presented. And I'll be contacting all of them this week to see if they're still interested and all. So that will help iron out some rough edges before the new chapters are posted. So far, the 'info' stuff that I have written out to post along with the first chapter this weekend, is a character list (with descriptions and some info on who they are), a list of basic rules, a short list of possible crossover characters from the "Gone From Daylight" series, and a 35 term 'vampire vocab' section explaining what all of the words mean (Extra, hunter, crossover, elders, sun quest, etc). It's a very cool idea to start off with some beginning questions too. Just to get people's wheels turning when it comes to creating a plot for their particular chapter. And it's a damn good idea to have chats too to iron out situations and answer questions between authors. Communication would be a must. I think a month is a fair amount of time to create, write, edit, and post a chapter. A lot of authors may not even need that long. So if anyone decides to post their chapter early, great! I would assume that anyone interested in adding to the series would already have some idea about what they wanted to do before their turn even comes up. So, a month should be a decent amount of time for them to write, still be able to work and play away from online, and would give enough room for those unpredictable 'life issues' that tend to rear their ugly head from time to time. Of course, it doesn't have to be a 'deadline'. Just a suggested time limit. If anybody objects, now would be the time to tell me. And Dio's absolutely right, I think chapters for his series might be a bit longer than average, simply because thee's so much room for ideas to be added to the storyline, and all of those ideas would have to be presented with some kind of explanation. And by the time that's done, and dialogue, action, or character development would push the length even further. Slightly longer chapters would give any writer enough room to make a significant forward movement in the storyline, I think. Anyway, thanks SO much for all of the input! I'm definitely taking notes! Thank you all!

I had a blast too! I'm sorta working two jobs right now, so I'm not sure if I can make EVERY Saturday, but I definitely have a good time when I get to join the rest of ya!

Indeed. I think it really varies from person to person. Depending on what they're looking to see. Some people want a happy sunshine ending, some are more intrigued by darker endings, and I know of some that would rather have a mysterious 'you have no idea what will happen from here' type of ending that just leaves you without a definite 'punchline' of sorts. ("Welcome To The Dollhouse" or "Ninth Gate" would be good examples) A friend of mine, Alex, personally HATES it when movies or books end with the whole thing being a dream, or has a twist that pretty much erases everything you've taken in so far. But I LOVE being tricked that way. Hehehe! It's an incredible feeling. Like seeing a good magic trick. So I guess it really differs for everybody. But there are few endings that I've really been upset with, except the ones that really captivate you and then try to wrap everything up in five minutes without really giving you the kind of 'pow' you were expecting after the rest of the story. Hehehe, oh, and Neo and Trinity didn't just 'die'. They sacrificed themselves for humanity. So it's still 'technially' a happy ending, even though the hero doesn't make it out alive.

Ahhh, Dio has definitely done his homework! Hehehe, thanks! Actually, that gives me a few ideas, so I'm glad you posted this. I really do like the concept of each author sending a short summary (which will be kept private, of course) for their chapter before they start writing. That's an excellent idea! And it might prevent some mix ups further down the line. Also, maybe it would be cool, just at the end of the 'first' chapter, to mention possible questions that can be tackld throughout the rest of the series. Similar to the ones you asked, about what Exile is going to remember, what his ties are to this group of people, what his ties are to the teens in his memory, who he can trust, who he can't. They're all things that authors can think about while conjuring up ideas for the next chapter. Does anyone else think that there are any other 'pitfalls' that we should be looking out for? The process seems as thugh it should be pretty straightforward and simple, but that can be a pretty deceptive illusion sometimes when trying something new. Just wanna make sure all the bases are covered before we begin.

Definitely worth a new post! Just let us know where to find the story. I'd be happy to check it out when I get a chance. I'm sure some others would too. And I also have a library on my website (http://www.voy.com/17262/) if you want to post there and possibly get some feedback. Cool? Thanks for the post! And best of luck with the story dude!

Hehehe, just having fun sounds like an awesome plan to me! I just want to make sure that folks know that the series is 'open', but not 'limitless'. (I hope I'm saying that right) I see what you mean about the limits on what an author writes. What if we just had a 'suggested' length between 30K and 100K, with a lot of flexibility involved. I definitely don't want to compact anybody's ideas into a space that doesn't fit. As for authors that accidently run into 'life' on the road towards finishing their chapter, I was thinking we could simply move on to the next author on the list. And that list would rotate depending on who signed on to the next chapter. I don't see any problem with an author doing more than one chapter. But I think it would be cool to have it so no author writes two chapters in a row. Me included. Like...maybe if you write a chapter, you hav to wait for at LEAST two more chapters to be written before you can sign on again. Sound good?

::Giggles:: Thank you. ((Smooch)) It took a while for people to get into this story, but after a while, it did catch on. And hearing that people look forward to the site's weekly 'soap opera' is a huge compliment! So thanks to you all.

Thanks a lot you guys for helping me to start off the conversation. It's ultimately going to help me keep things in order in the long run. So if any of you have ANY questions whatsoever, whether you're contributing a chapter, or are just excited about reading the series as it develops, please ask now! Because I guarantee you that there are things I'm overlooking here! To answer Jeff's question ::Waves at his buddy:: Hehehe...the plan was to begin taking names for any author who wanted to contribute a chapter once the full first episode is posted on the site on March 4th. So they can read the full set up for the series, decide whether or not they would like to add a section to the story, and sign up. I'd take the names in order, and display them proudly on the site. Every athor gets full credit for their chapter, and I'd love to post it on Nifty's Gay/Sci Fi section if authors gave permission. Nifty and the Shack would be the only places to find the series online, but every author is welcome to post links and info at the end of every chapter to advertise their own website and stories. I'd love to connect to a bunch of different writing styles and ideas, and I worked hard to make sure that the story was 'open' enough for writers to fill in the gaps with their own ideas. So I think it'll be cool once we get through the first few chapters. Now...things to think about... 1) What should the boundaries be in a series like this? Afterall, we want to have some kind of strong foundation that sets a certain level of limitations for the storyline. You know...just in case someone has the idea of suddenly getting abducted by aliens and sent to another planet where they become a sex slave for Regis Philbin. That's just a LITTLE bit 'off topic'! 2) How long should we give each author to work on their particular chapter? I believe that we agreed on a month the last time. One month to write and edit their own work, and two weeks for our three proofreaders to look it over. 3) What should some basic rules be about treatment of the characters involved? Involving adding new characters, killing off old characters, crossing over with any "GFD" or "GFD fanfic" characters, or anything else that might have a huge impact on the storyline? I have a list of characters from "GFD" that I would be happy to allow to crossover into the series, but no one from the lot. (Secondary characters. Like Jeremy the blood dealer, Diva the vampire gossip, Soren who runs the fighting arenas, etc.) 4) Length of the chapters. It would be unbalanced to have a 300K chapter followed up with a 15K chapter, you know? What do you guys think about chapter length? Should there be a minimum? A maximum? Both? Let me know. Like I said, I'm sure that I'm missing a ton of stuff here. Reapersharvest really helped me out by emailing me a ton of really good ideas when we first approached this idea! So if you're out there, I hope you'll drop in with more good info! Anyone got any ideas? We're officially holding a staff meeting here now! Hehehe, so let me know what you're thinking, cool? Thanks in advance!

Thanks so much to Wildcard for posting the "Speak Week" questions here on the Cafe for me! As many of you know, because of the new format, I can 'reply' to messages here, but I can't post messages of my own. So as far as leading discussions here, I'm afraid that I'm at a severe disadvantage. But I would definitely love to see this place thrive again, and putting the "Speak Week" questions and answers here each month would be a great way to start. So if you guys are reading this, please feel free to add your own answers! I'd love to see what you think! And there are more answers over at the "Shack Message Board from our family over there! Anyway, expect more new stuff to be here soon! Wildcard has offered to help me keep things moving here by posting for me, so you'll see more of me than you have the last few months. Cool? That said...here are my first two "Speak Week" answers. The rest are all posted in order below! Question #1 - Is CyberSex satisfying for me? Actually, I've had some rather erotic cybersex sessions with people online, and much to my surprise...I liked it. It's still just masturbation, but for some reason to have the right person interacting with you as you do it...it's almost like reading the stories on Nifty, except that the other person is reacting to exactly what you want. So, I suppose I can see the allure of it for some people. However, does it 'satisfy' me? Not really. I prefer the real thing. The pleasure I got from the cybersex I've had has always been 'emotional', because I had a thing for the other person involved. (Of course, 'secret' little cybersex sessions can also be used to REALLY f**king **HURT** you when you get your f**king heart involved and it's done behind your BACK!!!! But...that's another story...) The excitement doesn't last though. So I don't really do that much anymore. Question #2 - Fully clothed, what inspires a sexual attraction for me? Beautiful eyes, nice smile...and necks too. I like necks. Cute lips are always a plus. That's hard to explain, but have you ever seen someone's lips, and they look so kissable that it actually turns you on? Hehehe! Yeah, I'm big on kissing, so lips turn me on. Skater boys...HOT! Goth boys...HOT (if not overdone)! Indie Rock boys...HOT! (Tight shirts on really slim bodies, mmmm!) Hip Hop boys...HOT!!! So what 'don't' I like? Well...it's never really that much of an issue for me, but I've never been much for the punk look, or frat boy look. And the body builder type doesn't usually do it for me either. Of course, there's tons of exceptions in every case, but I've always fallen hardest for the 'boy next door' type. And I really have a thing for the shy guy, 'geek chic', type of boy too. I think it's SO cute!

Question #3 - Is there any promise in internet hook ups? I don't think it's *impossible* to find someone special from an internet hook up, because it happens all the time. A lot of people from the Shack alone have met in real life, gotten together, and ended up living happily ever after. So, it's not impossible...but the odds are against it. Most internet hook ups are made for one reason...sex. It's a quick fix with low risk, you know? A lot of times, it doesn't require you to know anything about the other person other than what they look like and whether or not you're physically attracted to that image. I tried it myself, attempting to meet up with people online, having sex all night long, and then trying to 'fill in' all the missing parts you were looking for by trying to get to 'know' this person that you just had your mouth on for the last few hours. I had my fill of it, and won't do it anymore. If I fall for someone, it'll be for reasons other than 'They're in my area'. Question #4 - Would I swallow? Hehehe, I have to admit, I used to be REALLY squeamish about swallowing! I was! I've tasted my own, and it's fine when it's a drip on the end of your finger. But having a mouthful blasted into you all at once is a whole other story. And it used to terrify me, because I didn't want to try it and suddenly start coughing and gagging and looking stupid. But...since then I've learned the error of my ways. ::Giggles:: I took the plunge with a guy that I was having sex with, and I didn't swallow the 'first' load, because I figured the 'second' load (only ten minutes later!) would be a bit smaller. So that was my first time doing it, and since then, I don't have a problem with it.

Question #5 - Who was the first person I ever had sexual thoughts about? The FIRST sexual thoughts I ever had in my life were for this girl, Evelyn in the 3rd grade. It was more a result of me getting into my Dad's Playboy's (and his porn movies...on BETA!!!), and imagining her naked. But I clearly remember wanting to do stuff with her. Thank goodness I didn't. But she was my first 'awakening'. Then came Seth and Chris, who were my very best friends on Earth at the time. Seth was two years younger than me, and Chris was the same age. I guess it was maybe 4th or 5th grade, so I was 9 or 10 years old. I used to sleep over at Chris' house almost every weekend, and we grew up together, so we were always really close. And he was DAMN cute! Never got my chance to do the deed with him though. Seth, on the other hand, I first started having thoughts of him because he never had a problem peeing out in the open. Hahaha! So exposing himself wasn't a big deal. And naturally that's going to spark SOME kind of reaction in a growing gay boy like myself. I was in high school by the time we got together, but he ost his virginity to me (a 'few' times) later on. He was in the 7th or 8th grade still. And it was hot. It never became anything more than a few afternoons in his attic...but he's up there as one of my all time favorite sexual experiences. Damn...I miss him. Question #6 - Would it matter if the person I was persuing had slept with someone I know? Would it matter? A little bit. Not much though. I think the only thing that I would worry about is having anything 'rekindled' by them being together again. I doubt it would happen, but you can never be 100% sure, you know? The people that I've slept with in life, whenever I see them, the sex and how good (or bad) it was is the first thing that comes to mind. And if it was good...I have to admit, the thought of a repeat performance crosses my mind. So, I'd be careful about knowing what kind of feelings were leftover between the person I was with and the person I considered a friend. But other than that, I might give the relationship a try anyway.

Question #7 - Have I had sex in a pool or a hot tub? I've never had sex 'submerged' in water before. I'd like to try it some time! So no, never in a pool, bathtub, or hot tub. But I have had sex in the shower though. Which...really wasn't much of a shower at all. Hehehe! Just sex standing up. We did it because we never had before, so it was an interesting expeience, being wet and naked with someone in a confined space. I liked it. I would really love to have sex with someone in the rain. I think that would be hot. Question #8 - Have I ever intentionally 'seduced' someone, or had it done to me? Have I done it? Yes. Have I done it SUCCESSFULLY? No! Hehehe! Four names... -Mike (my best friend) I've been trying to get a piece of that boy since my freshman year of high school! And after afterschool get togethers, and parties, and college, and crashing at each other's house, and drunken parties, and even after coming out to him...there isn't a single trick that's worked yet. But dammit, I don't care if we're both 95 and I have to slip an ecstacy pill into his mush...I'm going to GET that boy one day! So I add this up to a 'work still in progress'! Hehehe! Scott (A REALLY cute skater boy/pothead with short blond dreads) Never really gave me any indication that he was gay, but kept inviting me over to his house. Like three days out of the week. Just to hang out. Damn he was hot! And it was hard to really sit there and have normal conversations with him while he was sitting there looking so damn good. So, I tried one night to see if I could maybe get him to try something. I didn't say anything, just tried to sit next to him on the couch, and lean over a bit. A few touches of the leg. A few silent moments. Some eye contact. I was hoping to maybe get a sign that he'd be interested. NOPE! He avoided every subtle advance, and eventually moved to the floor instead of sitting on the couch with me. SHOT DOWN! ::Sound Of Plane Crashing:: The next time I saw him, he had a girlfriend! Grrr! Ed (Who I was head over heels for when the Shack first started!) This one was totally my fault! And I'm still kicking myself for this one every single day! I LOVED Ed! I mean...*LOVED* him!!! He was cute, and blond, and sweet! We were both 21 years old, but he looked like he was TWELVE! No ass whatsoever, hehehe, but I wanted him so bad that I could taste it! (I mentioned him in "Boys", the very first thing I ever wrote for this website) So...what went wrong? I got scared. Plain and simple. I always made little comments and flirtatious remarks, we were always hanging out at his house, he was awesome. We had a lot in common, and he's the one who first took me out to the beach to see my first sunrise. I'll never forget it, we had a little cd player playing Bob Marley, and we sat in the sand, side by side. God, he was awesome. The thing is, he was REALLY receptive to every advance I ever made on him. Not only would he meet me half way, but he'd go even further. And for some reason, that TERRIFIED the shit out of me! Long story short...he moved away shortly after Mike and I moved in together. I wonder if maybe he thought Mike and I were, like, 'together'. But yeah...stupid STUPID *STUPID* me!!! I wish I had a second chance, because looking back a those days...he was more than willing. I missed out on something special being scared. Sucks. Rick (Someone I worked with) Cute, kinda shy, a real sweetheart. Used to hug me all the time, call in the middle of the night just to talk, always wanted to wrestle. He would say the sweetest things to me at every given opportunity. This was about 4 years ago, I guess, and he was about 3 years younger than I was. But he had this flattering way of just looking up to me like a big brother most times. It was this weird admiration that I never understood, but when I started getting signals that everything wasn't as 'straight' as it was supposed to be, I got nervous again. He was extremely cute, and beyond being affectionate. There were at least four or five times that I tried to get things moving, but it never happened. Rick had the annoying tendency to really get me hot and bothered, getting close and physical and being a real sweetie...and anyhing that I did to try to accept that affection would cause him to push me away again. So I'd figure that I had it all wrong and maybe he was straight afterall. But whenever I pulled back, he'd tease me again by giving all the signals. It SUCKED! We grew apart eventually. But I still know where he lives if I need to find him. So yeah...lots of attempts at seduction, but I'm evidently not very good at it. Hehehe! Ah well, I suppose my talents lie elsewhere. ::Wicked Grin::

Question #9 - Has premature ejaculation ever been a problem for me? A problem? Nope. But I do remember a few boys that I've been with that it was HARD to hold out as long as I did! Hehehe! There was one boy in high school that I seriously consider the best sex of my life so far. And he was REALLY into making out! His ability to kiss was just out of this world. And his body was just juicy and plump in all the right places. He was a very passionate 'bottom', and he lived for it! So that combined with his kissing made it extremely hard for me to go for very long. He moved around a lot too. But squirting too soon wasn't a problem...it just took a LOT of concentration! A LOT! Question #10 - Would I 'toss the salad'? Hehehe, ok, I've never done it before. Never once. And never had it done to me either. So I'm a 'salad' virgin as of right now! But honestly, it wasn't until finding the stories on Nifty that I started really considering it. Because they make it sound sooo sexy, you know? Since I've been reading stories online and writing my own, I've been noticing asses a LOT more often! And I look forward to doing it someday. Especially if it was in the shower. I think that would really turn me on.

Question #11 - Have I ever used, or been used, for sexual satisfaction? Not really. Although, a friend and I did sorta have sex a few times for the pure pleasure of doing it. We were really close friends, and weren't really attracted to one another like that. Not really. I don't even think he's gay, to tell you the truth. But it was that experimental teenage phase, and 'things' got started one day...so we kept doing it. I don't know if that means we were using each other just to get off, but it was basically release without attachment. Things got a bit weird later on though, where sex was the only reason that we were getting together. So..that had to stop. And we grew apart shortly after that. But that was a purely physical thing that we did to feel good. But it was pretty mutual, I'm sure. Question #12 - The one person in my life I'd like to do things with, and what I'd wanna do with them. Well, there's two actually. One is Sam. Hehehe, I can't help it, but ever since junior high I've always wanted him. He's the blueprint that I used for Sam in "Arcade Junkie"/"New Kid", and he's still a cutie. I remember one afternoon when I walked passed his house, and he invited me in, but I was on my way somewhere else so I turned it down. But he was on his front steps, (I was 13 and he was 12) and laying on the railing on the side. So it was slanted down the steps, and he had his arms over his head, holding on so he wouldn't slip. And his feet were up, and his cute little ass was balancing on the rail, and with his arms up, his shirt was crawling up...and that soft creamy stomach was all exposed. Mmmmm! If I had the chance, I'd love to recreate that moment, and give him a slow wet blow job while he was still sitting on that rail. Arms over his head, my face in between his legs, his legs over my shoulders...yeah. I'd LOVE that! And the second one is this boy 'John John' who I worked with for a while. VERY cute! About 20 years old I guess, maybe a year or two older. He's really quiet, very slim, and has this little hoop lip piercing, with bright eyes. I would just love to spend an entire day laying naked with him, kissing for hours and hours on end. Nonstop. Call in to work, take the day off, and just remain wrapped up in each other, grinding and rubbing and touching...wow. Not even SEX really...just a comfortable day where we explored and enjoyed each other's bodies as slowly and passionately as we want. He seems like the type who would kiss you with a heartbreaking smile, you know? I would love to just smile at him and run my fingers through his hair and..just...mmmmm. Ok, I'm exciting myself now! Hehehe!

Well, there are some stories that I'm willing to simply let sweep me along to whatever ending they have planned, as long as it's an enjoyable ride and somewhat believeable. So sometimes I don't even think about working out the ending before the story is actually there. However, some stories have storylines that make you WANT to figure out the ending. And that's when those little twists and turns really have a powerful effect on the story. Sometimes it's a good effect, and sometimes it just ruins everything. Like, some movies (Namely "Sixth Sense", "Seven", etc) have that last minute 'Bang' that just leaves you with a lingering feeling of 'wow'! You know? It's not always a happy ending, but it definitely has an impact. Then, there are movies where you pretty much know how things are going to end. "The Matrix" for example. You know it'll have a happy ending, but it's much more fun to just sit back and ride the movie out and not think too far ahead. Because it's an enjoyable ride, and even though the ending is predictably going to be a happy one, I'm satisfied when I get there. Another ending might actually make the story MORE interesting than it was originally. When I first saw Jodie Foster's "Contact", I wasn't really that into it. But at the very end (Spoiler alert!)...her testimony in court kinda gave the whole movie a deeper meaning for me. It was the whole 'science versus religion' idea, and how much alike they really are, that made me look ack at the rest of the story to see how it played out from the very beginning. And...of course...there are some stories where the end is SO predictable, or so bad, or so unbelievable, that it just seems lazy on the part of the person writing it. As much as I LOVE Stephen King's storylines and characters and ideas...he has a bad habit of sometimes just 'wrapping' things up at the last minute. Like...he just reached a certain page count and decided, ok, I'll just finish this off with something and leave it at that. And if the ending sucks, you'd better have one hell of a good story to prevent it from spoiling all that hard work you put into building up to it. Anyway, bottom line, the ending is a huge part of any story. But unless it's a mystery or something that inspires me to guess at the ending, I don't usually try to race the story to get there.

Why thank you much! Hehehe! Why don't we rent a giant limo and all go together then? I've got enough whip cream to cover everybody, I think. (Oh wait...that's for the after party! Oops! Forget I said that! )

Hehehe, why Mr. Jamessavik and Viv, I would most definitely love to accompany youto the awards show. No ruffles of course. But I might get into a tux for this one. (Does anyone here know how to tie a tie?) And thanks so much for the compliments you guys! ::Blush:: You make me feel so darned 'spesh-al'! ::Giggles:: It makes me happy to say......you ain't seen nothin' yet!!! Hope you're ready. ::Cocky pose::

Hahahaha! A very noble answer indeed! ::Giggles::

AWESOME!!! Thanks dude! I'd be MORE than happy to include the "Speak Week" posts on the Cafe! Good idea! Of course, you would have to post them every month, but I'd love to spread the posts here as well. Thanks! When I get my answers together, I'll post them here as well.

Wow....you know, we might have to talk more about this in email or something. I suppose that it would depend on whether or not the company would be able to keep my privacy as well. I really don't know, but drop me a line at comicality@webtv.net sometime and we'll talk. K? ((Hugz)) This is a huge offer, dude. Thanks!

Hehehe, why thank you my dear lady. ::Fingers in my ears:: (Did she say something about me being an idiot? Hmmm) Well, I've recently 'injured' myself! Hahaha! I was picking up some cans (a bunch at once), and had the ingenious idea of putting my pinky finger in one of the holes. I know cans are sharp, but you know...I figure I put my mouth on it, how could a few quick seconds from here to the trash hurt. Well...a 'few quick seconds' later I'm about 3 skin cells short of needing stitches! NOT good! I happen to LIKE the tip of my pinky, wasn't planning on losing it anytime soon. (See? Idiot...) DESPITE that, though, I'm typing with my pinky held high, and working on a story or two to post on the site soon. The last few months have been somewhat dismal, but new years is a chance to start all over again, you now? It's exactly what I plan to do. Sliced finger and all. How about the rest of you guys? Are you all still reading? Or has the hiatus caused you all to wander off to your various corners of the internet?

Hehehe! Ask and ye shall receive! ::Wicked Grin:: Updates are on the way.....

SCHWEET!!! THANK YOU!!! I'm extremely EXTREMELY proud to have a story that you guys enjoyed so much that it would be nominated for the story of the year! I certainly hope that "Gone From Daylight: Born Of Fire" will soon live up to expectations this year! Thanks again, and I will work harder to keep things moving! You guys are the best! ((Hugz))
