  1. I was cruising the news and found a sight for ads that don't work anymore. This is a SEGA ad from 1990's. I couldn't resist sharing. Read the small print too, it's almost pornographic.
  2. Hi Bucket! Having a good day? I'll let you in on a secret. The gif was carefully chosen. I'll explain later...after Albert takes a shot at it. I hope he doesn't disappoint me.
  3. Don't worry Spike. If his aim was even as good as Wille Coyote. He still couldn't catch me. Besides, I have a fall back, fail safe glitter shelter to hide in.
  4. You hear that everyone? You are all free to sleep whenever you wish. No curfews for you. Don't worry about me. No matter how great Drewski's spy network is (in his own mind) I will always find a way to stay up as long as I like. Drew Darling,

    Character Empathy

    You are too modest @Mrsgnomie. You do a lot of things at a high level. While reading this essay, you were one of the authors that first came to mind. All one has to do is read the comments you receive to realize your readers have great empathy for the characters in each story written. ❤️
  6. Just like a kid, Drew thinks he'll live forever. 😇

    Chapter 1

    Sounds like a deal to me! Don't worry, I'm a cheap drunk. Since I like to share the wealth, we could do a Loelife scheme. I'd share one bottle to the first Recommend for each chapter. We could get @Pickalane, @weinerdog, and @Clancy59 onboard to promote the scheme for one bottle a month. Let's see. Nine bottles for readers plus three bottles for promoters that's twelve bottles? That would leave me without any. Sorry, but I've got to think this over and get back to you. Laters!

    Definitely not! Whoever offers the best bribe!
  9. I am heading to sleep. Drew I am so proud of you. You haven't broken the treaty even though provoked. You only need to hold you fingers off the button for a few more hours. I hope the prolonged patience will not drain you too much. Play nice kids!

    Hot, buttered theater popcorn! How did you know??? Mrsgnomie never give me a gift like that. I'm yours forever, or until the next Mrsgnomie story.

    Chapter 1

    Count me in! I'd do it just on faith, because Spirit Wolves was so awesome. With the 🤐 and I'm willing to bet the start of this story will be more twisted and bizarre than the start of Spirit Wolves. Remember Reilly?

    Chapter 1

    Sorry I can't help with the popcorn A. I haven't made it to Costco to replenish my supply since Jay and Loren got married. I had to do without for the Epilogue. 😢

    Chapter 1

    Walking back to the Spirit Wolves universe had me on a high. I really go attached to Elijah and the feeling was carried over to this new story. I was looking forward to a reunion and meeting his parents when you so evilly turned Elijah's world upside down in the first 100 +/- words. The jolt I felt when he learned his parents were dead felt physical to me. I know that those who know him were trying to let him know that they were there to help. To someone like Elijah it is very difficult to respond those kind efforts. Tyler and his parents' warm support did help. His decision to go back to his home was natural, but the state of the home only added to his pain. His reaction to the crime scene with all the dried blood felt sickening to me. By that time, you had build my empathy for Elijah to a new level. Like others I suspect these murders may be related to what happened in Spirit Wolves, but the presence of Kage is not as sinister as one might expect. Fascinating start to the new story.
  15. Thanks for the warning Clo! *whispered while quaking in fear* (Val knows how to deal with Demons.)
  16. Sorry, @Valkyrie He was wandering loose, so I tried to find him a home. I will send him back immediately.
  17. Hi Clo! Are you and Albert a bit gun shy of Drew? Neither of you have claimed the two hunks yet.😂
  18. And you said I was playing with fire???? Pot and Kettle.
  19. Hey Bucket! Does this remind you of a song? Hint: Recent topic here.
  20. A Young Chris Evans up for grabs.
  21. Doing well. Just finished dinner. Aod and his sister are planted in front of the TV, and I am obviously chatting with you!
  22. Tonight's dinner?
  23. Hi Albert! How are you and Steve?

    Character Empathy

    This was an amazing experience reading this essay. The clarity of your observations and depth of the videos you selected to illustrate your points left me feeling very emotional. I have read many of your stories on other sites for almost 2 decades and want to thank you for many hours of reading they gave me. After I finished this essay, I better understood why many of my favorite authors have created characters and situations that move me to emotional highs and remain vivid in my memory long after I have finished reading. These writers' successes are because of the very things you have pointed out in this essay. You can see it in the comments to each and every chapter they write. Thank you for writing this. I look forward to reading more essays by you.

    Confirmation

    You really have me torn between more chapters, and waiting so long for the guys to impress their dragons. Patience is a virtue I have in very short supply. I does appear that they are a shoe in for a dragon as well as they did with Zorleth. Also, I hope that Jevikel's talk with Kemi will help her understand her mother better. Kemi's weyrmate seems one of the few green riders that is not gay. She deserves the best, so I am happy that Sh'ros is both green and straight. She gets the best of both worlds that way. He is safer on a fast and agile dragon, a dragon that doesn't get proddy, and he probably has a lot of experience in the bedroom. 😉
