It's still two months away though. Time for predicting who's going to win.

You had cause for being on the look out, people, for I'm pretty irate at the ethnic slur used by Jeremy. Zis is an outrage, and after Jack's April's Fool news item, it seems an anti-French pattern (and I'd even say conspiracy) is developing in Jack's works. Having focused on the coffee angle (it's mentioned three times in this final chapter), I didn't really look out for any other subliminal Gallic bashing. Otherwise, a happy ending and a new life ahead for Jeremy and Charlie. Glad to know everything turned out OK!

Yes, we might bring it back on target!

Actually the ratio of the "Last Post Wins" thread is 1:6.73 a this very moment. Thanks for the tip, BeaStKid.

You lay out the questions and come up with lots of answers. Living with one's characters is indeed very engrossing when you're serious about your writing. As for the story you've yet to tell, it will come in due time, maybe springing out from a short story you'll want to develop; you could just take it as it comes, exploring other sets of characters and universes. Having written your autobiography (I only read the first ten chapters, but from this I imagine how you relived a lot of the events having to view family differently) will certainly save you tons of analysts' fees in the future! From what you say, you now have lots of insights on your feelings. You should be able to let go of negative feelings with or without the help of some experienced person who helps you to talk out these issues with the ones you love. I sound pompous, don't I? My best to you.

This is getting ugly. People chase each other from a Games and Humor thread to the other. By the way if the solution for avoinding a dounle number of posts was given in the previous page, I cannot go back unless I increase the number of posts. Talk about dilemma. Is it just an option not to refresh with a box to tick?

Or should I bow to an admin? In any case, this is great. Agreed with Graeme, it depends on the number of novels, but they can't multiply as fast as chapters anyway. *thinks of another wish to make since they seem easily granted*

I'm bringing this back up from the depths of the forum. Though this was a nice move at the beginning, it's now a bit impossible to find information about the various stories. I was looking for info about My Jump Off, and it was on page 8. So, as the stories are finished, maybe having a more generic thread as a sticky, or making all threads into one could help the new readers to see what comments were made.

Let's say Kyle is the cutest one in Andrew's potential partners so far. I just found out that there's another story featuring Jarred as the first person narrator. I didn't see it commented anywhere, but it might be of some importance regarding the various personalities of the characters. Actually, I think that starting a thread for each chapter makes the forum a little confusing; I'll have to make sure first no one has talked about both stories somewhere.

A step-by-step to avoid refreshing is in order for us ignorant people!

There's one thing Eric's college fund would have been more helpful with: paying for Steve's tuition since he and Chris lack money to go to college. Who could possibly sleep in a dark, damp room underground but shady, criminal mastermind and spawn of the devil Eric?

What I liked best was the atmosphere at the (non-existing, maybe, but vivid in my mind) quarry; dusk coming and our three characters wondering about what's gonna come next. Should I say I shiver everytime they get to use a motor vehicle?

Luke and the dog with someone watching? Not too much into voyeurs of males having sex with furry animals.

Yes, saying goodbye to your characters can be tough. At the same time, you will have led them through tough times until they can manage on their own to have a fruitful and happy life (that is, if you don't kill them at the end, but deep inside, I know you won't do something this evil. ) As for the financial hiccoughs, I think there are some good role models in some of the fiction around, teaching you to set up a credit card fraud, an illegal porn website or blackmailing your relatives. Seriously, I hope you can pull through.

This definitely calls for redefining what average means! (Uh, by the way, people, don't be afraid and go have a read, it's way worth it.)

My favorite chapters are the country ones. I think the one(s) in which they get stuck in the snow storm are among my favorites. I'd have favorite pages in the Montreal trip (the evening ending at the night club with them meeting Lo

If you really want to get readers to pity the little pile of faeces, have him tortured by the Piedmont Sheriff and his goons in a melodramatic scene in which we might feel a slight positive feeling for a few seconds before he surrenders his last breath. As for the college fund, it could have been put to better use buying some ammos & explosives to blow up Thaddeus' lair.

So we can't get anything better than a 1:2 ratio? But someone can mysteriously defeat it? Call the manager, and the gambling commission, there's something fishy!

This story is not exactly a serial, so maybe reading it all at once would be a better reading experience. Still, brilliant writing and some intriguing narrative being woven. May I add it's enjoyable even following each installment?

No, I don't. Do you own Moby Dick? (the novel not the life-sized action figure)

Post meant to improve the ratio. And I never cheat. Which leads to such interesting literature.

Not only hearsay, there's an amount of serious literature documenting this as fact. Too few people know it.

Quite a sight! He's quite gorgeous, and plays amazingly well. As for the music itself, it follows decades of "melodic" rock, in which guitar players mimic violin players (Yngwie Malsteen, etc.) and it's overall a bit boring. What's really entertaining is the comments on the you tube videos, and the Jerry C. impersonators. There's a duo who are really funny; they cover the tune and play in turn; what has to be watched is not the one playing (they do fine), but the one waiting.

Same here as for the good balance. I really like the way this is moving, since now we know Thaddeus smuggles more or less legal goods. As I read every single word, as stated in the contract that yields all these nice dollars on my C.I. account, I was like "OK, so he uses a metal strip, a remote control and used gum to fix the wire... When does he actually explore the tunnel." But it goes rather fast, and added to my knowledge the day I want to set up a camera on a remote-controlled toy. Remeber, Ieshwar, Emoe is a real-life version of Dex, so he's not surprised by this stuff.

I don't know if this is supposed to be a compliment.
