But Jack, you will have a very long wait... I'm still 45 posts away, and I am, after all, a lurker..

I'm really looking forward to it! There are just so darn many possibilities on where it will go. It is one of the most thought-provoking stories I've ever seen.

Yep, that's me too! Yet here I am, lurking in this thread! Baaad me! The person below me has insomnia.

GM's, as they have a better 4-wheel drive system, but window shopping only for me right now. Forign or Domestic (US) vehicles?

Yup, yup, I should be asleep by now, but here I am, lurking... The person below me IS asleep right now.

Ooops! I fixed it. Thanks!!

I am indeed! I'm prepping the Fairy Tales Anthology stories, getting them ready to go online around the 14th! (Send them in if you haven't already!!) The person below me has a story in the anthology!

The Fairy Tales Anthology submissions are due today, Feb 1st, unless you have contacted me to make other arrangements. Send 'em in!!

No, no, let's DO forget!! Shhhh....

Nick, I have no doubt you will do it!

I might be mistaken, but I think it was chapter 11 of LiS, shdowgod's story, that got eaten by his computer (due to windows deciding to update and shutting down on an unsaved document). I loved that part too! I'm really wondering about the whole "new family" though. The new step=brother doesn't sound too promising! Anyone have any thoughts on that marriage/new family issue?

OMG! My very first fanfic! Ummm, Chapter 49 and the guys haven't even been bale to kiss since Ch 18?!?!!? OK, WHO LEAKED THE PLOT! BTW, Bondwriter is indeed the Zeta-reader! He reads the chapter right after I put it online, and points out any remaining goofs that I have made. I then go in and fix the posted chapter. THANK YOU Bondwriter!!! (BTW, any errors usually occur when I make changes AFTER Emoe sends me back the edited version.) Don't worry, its all just a coincidence... really... Hmmm, now that is an interesting translation, Bondwriter! Jack, Jack, Jack... I make you wait a week between chapters becuase I need to write them! However, speaking of long delays between chapters, there is a certain story called "Moving on" where the author keeps us waiting and waiting and waiting...

Hi Nick! Welcome to GA, from me too! I've read both stories, and to me they are very, very different in most respects. I hate to use a sci/fi analogy here, but to me it is like what was done with "Battlestar Galactica": the new series has some premises remaining the same, but it is a totally different story with very different outcomes than the old one.

What a thing to say about your fellow Goat!~ Whatever happened to Goat solidarity?? I went with Joanna because the first half of the first chapter seemed to be her story. That, to me, made her the original character. If you read just the first half of the first chapter, it does seem (to me) like the story is about her.

:king: :king: :king: Happy Birthday! :king: :king: :king: I hope you have a great birthday!

There were several reasons why I picked a '69 Charger for Steve's car. That line was one of 'em. Sorry, though, I'm not done with it yet...

Midnight, Feb 1st, (US Eastern time) is the actual deadline, but as I won't be checking my mailbox for the last enties until the second, well, I won't bounce anyone over a day.

This made me curious, and I checked, and he is 17! That would be illegal as heck here. Uhoh... Um, nope, not here. Edit: I cross-posted with bondwriter, and yes, I am making a nice pot of coffee! The person below me has snow to shovel.

ROFL!! But Rick... It's only Ch 12, and they have already had sex once in the story... But is it appropriate for the author to write himself in as a cameo in his own story? Hmmmm, though, our Editor does have a cameo... There are wild goats here, up in the high country, but not in the low desert where Chris and Steve are. Thanks!!!!! Yep, Dad is non too pleased about that, and it is, to say the least, WAY outside of normal or acceptable behavior for a Sherrif. But I was merely narrowing down the list of possibilities to... everything. Hehehe... Well, i heard that sexual tension is a good thing to have in a story, so surely sexual frustration is good, too?

I loved this chapter!! :2thumbs: Gloria (Zach's Mom) is great! Sky meeting Dex was very well done, and throughout there is the wedding looming. The new family sounds rather unlikable to me at the moment. I hope I'm wrong. Poor Jonah!!!

That was hilarious!!! :2thumbs: You did it very well, Bondwriter! "His lust for Praline"

Ummm, if they fought it off, wouldn't it be an attempted seduction rather than an actual one? Seriously though, they didnt exactly seem unwilling!! Hmmmm... That was one mind-blowing chapter!!! (I still think you should call it "the Deli")

GREAT NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :2thumbs: :2thumbs: :2thumbs:

Six so far.

Thanks Graeme!!! Some of the things were rather obvious; the Sheriff's behavior was surely a clue the guys would have picked up on. On some other things, they are merely speculating. THANKS!!!!!!!! We are getting very close to being able to judge the contest you proposed a while back. I'll comb through the thread and post the predictions in one post, and see how we do. Obviously, we don't know what is on the data stick yet so I may have to wait on some of it. I will confirm that they guys are right that the Sheriff is up to no good, and also that the Sheriff beleives they have the data stick. Further, the Sheriff wants the data stick. Also, I'll confirm that the charges being mysteriously dropped against Eric were not merely a coincidence. On some of the minor details, we, just like in real life, may never know for certain, and have only a reasonable supposition based upon a preponderance of available evidence. As for the speculation, well, all I'll say is that when people speculate, sometimes they get it right, sometimes they get it wrong, and sometimes it is a mix of the two. I will also, at the risk of becoming a pincushion <looks around nervously for the Echidna..> confirm that the Deer are NOT members of the conspiracy. Thanks Emoe!!! I had fun writing that scene.
