  1. Eric: Lewd and lascivious behavior. Dumb pranks. Cruelty to (small) animals. General recklessness. Drunkenness. This is not a very good role model, is it?
  2. At the same time, in the original meaning of the word, (see Perils of Pauline), the cliffhanger is usually resolved at the beginning of the next episode. So, a tense situation not being resolved at the beginning of the following episode/ chapter is hardly a cliffhanger. Hence how could LiS 26 be deemed the "Mother" of all Cliffhangers? Maternal issues, maybe?
  3. Happy Birthday, dkstories! And four years of participation to GA to celebrate. Have fun.
  4. Be afraid. Be VERY afraid! (I'm a nice guy, though I do not use many smilies, which sometimes makes me "sound" more serious than intended. But yes, I hunt post whores for fun, and when I find one... Well, you don't want to know.)
  5. If you replace hero by "key character to move the plot forward", we can reach an agreement. We can't consider either to be main characters (Eric in FTL disappears for a huge number of chapters) and LTMP's is more prominent, yet not THE main character but ONE OF THE main characters. But they're both essential to the plot.
  6. Mmmh. I'm not the one to stir controversy, you know me. But it's been almost a whole day since my questioning above post, and no reply. So, do our volume-challenged participants (the PC way to call postwhores) shy away from tackling actual issues or what?
  7. Elle de Generes takes a few minutes to talk about the murder of a 15-year old kid who was murdered by a guy he asked to be his Valentine. She's quite emotional, and presses voters to take hate crimes into account when casting their ballot.
  8. Lots of insightful comments. I was wondering whether Eric was not being given a bad rap. I mean, he's in a minority of straight people in this story, and he pulls sophomoric pranks, engages in promiscuous immoral sex, is on his way to becoming a drunk. Isn't he going to make the minority of readers who are straight feel bad about themselves? On a completely different plane, did you notice Vladimir and Dimitri were the first names of the future president and prime minister of Russia? Though the roles are inverted, Vladimir being more of the boss in RL. I really wonder what political statement CJ is making through this story.
  9. Just checked my Cayman Islands account's balance. Then the Liechtenstein's. Nothing from Arizona there. No transfer, no support, I thought I had made my venality explicit enough. So I'll just deny having ever said such a thing.
  10. And now, for a little more randomness, the names of the guilty... Who posted in: SPiCE Poster / Posts TL The Writing Tiger/ 60 FrenchCanadian/ 37 BeaStKid/ 33 Benji/ 31 GaryInMiami/ 27 C James/ 15 shadowgod/ 14 TalonRider/ 9 Bondwriter/ 7 wildone/ 4 Graeme/ 3 EMoe57/ 1 Ieshwar/ 1 Jack Scribe/ 1 jkeeling/ 1
  11. His taste for three-ways must hide some strange leanings.
  12. Yeah. Indeed. But will you get them from the wearhouse?
  13. May starch, sugar and fat be with you! (As well as success, love and happiness...)
  14. And a year full of enriching experiences.
  15. It seems people are indecisive when it comes to choosing a side. 6,666 is the way to go! Down with the tyranny of the zeroes!!!
  16. I thought I was only reinforcing the stereotype about goats and the devil. Everyone knows about your shyness, and your lurkinghood, not to worry. 100% for 6,666 at this time, by the way.
  17. I have felt the presence of recently dead people, but I wouldn't go as afr as saying it was a supernatural phenomenon. The person below me went to the movies within the last two weeks.
  18. Yeah, he did blow up the sheriff's house, didn't he?
  19. Using explosives in an action fiction is a cheap way to end the story. Not worthy of Shadowgod.
  20. The sad news is that to become the next king of evil cliffhangers, you've got to write a 6,000-word chapter every week. Create some exciting adventurous situation. Have some lovable characters. Some very evil villains. And dedicate the last 500 words of a chapter out of 3 to torture your readers in coming back the next week. While avoiding clich
  21. I thought that with the recent flood of post whorism celebration (millennium club, bi-mi, quad-mi, and only God knows what silly worshiping of round figures...), it was time to make a difference in celebrations of quantity achievement. I thought that a derivative of the number of the beast (666) fir quite well the beloved leader of this forum. What do YOU think? Should we put a jewel on top of the crown of the King of EEEEviiilest cliffhangers?
  22. Not following the logic of recent posts, but I thought I'd mention "silverwear" brings up immediate visions of a scantily clad Princess Leia. Use FF with the basic install, and its wonderful spell checker. (This is my "be unpleasant to your friends" day )
  23. I'll go light a candle in the cathedral so that the Good Lord keeps you from owning a slightly nervous car before you're twenty-five. Your impending danger in chapter 14 makes me nervous; so does the fact you live in a place where you get rear-ended when you get a new car.
  24. Congratulations for the steady level of quality. As for the figures, it seems you reach a milestone every other day. May time flies, though. I was wondering whether we shouldn't wait for a more significant milestone for CJ, which would be his 6,666th post. That's how a King Of Evilest Cliffhangers should be celebrated.
  25. Yes, stuttering occurs in all languages. You should indeed wash the silverware (my unborn children must be grateful, somewhere out there.) What's with the PJs?
