Hey Ephialtes, can we trust you with the last three digits in your member number? This is a tempting theory, only flaw for me is that the technicalities of managing to shoot/ edit/ sell a porn video secretly seem to be beyond the grasp of the brat. Can Eric be this mean/ wicked/ evil? I'd be more on some cuter newsgroups pics, like twinks in bathing suits. Or something more public, like a Chase and Shawn site advocating the "gay lifestyle"; thus Thaddeus may use this as evidence of their "perverted proselytic ways". I wonder as Steve does about the link between the pics and the Data Stick. shudder at the thought that a man of the cloth and a law enforcement officer could be involved in some sex scandal. But hey, this is fiction!

What amazes me is that someone would: * read fourteen chapters (even if they're not really long, and he scans through them, it still takes a while...) * take the time to email to say he's pissed. I must have missed a few stories because if I don't get it from chapter 1 (chapter 2 for a writer I know and enjoy), I quit. And I certainly won't bother annoying the guy who offered his work for free whatever I dislike it. And by the way, I'm still only at chapter 6 of Bodega Bay. Just too sad for me at the moment. And I really wonder where it will go. Stop! Don't tell me!

Hi. I'm not a Domaholic yet. But I have an interest in this culinary thread. Could I suggest a marinade to put the goat meat in for at least a night: for a haunch (if you say this for goats) 2 quarts of white wine (dry, I'd recommend Muscadet, but let's not be picky) 1 cup of balsamic vinegar 1 chopped onion 3 cloves of garlic, mashed into a pulp parsley sage rosemary thyme (3-5 branches of each) Strain the meat in a sieve once it has marinated for AT LEAST 12 hours. Cut generous steaks (it's the most difficult part with these skinny animals) Barbecue 3-5 minutes on each side. Enjoy.

UNDER NEON LIGHTS I was walking back home Warm evening Smell of tar An old man was limping down my building's staircase The bag that he carried seemed a heavy burden I even thought of a corpse he'd have to get rid of It's my laundry he said And sure he'd tell me where the laundromat is Why didn't I come along in the cab he had called His grandmother was from Orl

Love these pun things. Guess what these ones should do as a job: Alec Tricity Andy Structible Doug Graves Eric Shun Sue Permann Tyrone Shews

Nice chapter. The erotic scene is pretty good, though personally I'm not longing for these in the story. But they're nice when they come along! It's humorous, and Steve and Chris as Kim Basinger and Mickey Rourke wannabes is fun. If it was up to me, they'd use more silk ties! I was wrong about the fire/ ice thing. You goats seem to think alike. My Chase and Shawn theory seems to be the right one. Their pics are all over the Internet. But how come no one they know saw them yet? Is it on some shady site, www.chaseshawnandthebaptistpreacher.org? Something that caters to the people with a serious religious fetish, with Steve and Chris' faces put on the (clad) bodies of Thaddeus and Jerry Falwell. Yes, some people do have weird fantasies... *sighs* Not a big fan of fire weapons, so them training at the shooting range rings VERY American to my European ears. Makes it more exotic, I guess. But I like the fact they're no sissies. I'd rather see them win a hand-to-hand fight than a gun fight though. Manlier IMO. Their shopping spree is a bit too much, isn't it? 400$ on clothes? Don't they have books to buy? A tuition to pay in a near future? Presents for their parents? Come on, guys, don't be vain!

You need to post five times before the messenger is activated. Go to the Lounge, Games and Humor it's easy to find threads to post. Introduce yourself. Or comment on your favorite authors. Welcome to you by the way!

I guess you won't have to. But I'd advise watching Conan the Barbarian which is a great epic. With great pecs. And which is quoted in this spoof's credits.

It's been over a month since this was posted, and the Spring Anthology is about to bloom. Thanks to all of you who read the story and took a little time to tell a few (or many!) words of kindness. I had lots of fun writing something gentle and bucolic. I'm already thinking of the Rainy Day theme for the Summer Anthology, since tie-up fiction and setting up a site dedicated to it with my proofreader/ editor and friend Nicholas H. should keep us busy over the next two months.

These goats are quite horny beings, aren't they? I wonder if they taste good... I'd bet with Master of Cunning Deceit CJames, the "Fire and Ice" thing will have to deal with a volunteer firefighter they meet at the pizza joint and who calls them Shawn or Chase, since it seems fashionable in Lonesome Valley, and the ice thing will be the ice-maker of the fridge breaking down, and Steve's mom coming inside Steve's room as they're about to make out to tell them to go get a spare part at the hardware store.

Inspired by Rick's words "Berlin" and "airlift", my mind wanders around to the bombing of Dresden at the end of WWII. It's lengthily discussed (in his own words, as a witness) by Kurt Vonnegut Jr. in Slaughterhouse 5. Quite a puzzling event, but typical of WWII strategy and politics. Big controversy too, if your teacher is in the "two sides to the coin" frame of mind.

A Happy Birthday to You!

Yes, irony, as opposed to coppery , was involved in this whole fake trailer. But Nicholas Cage would be a wonderful Richard the Second.

A little addendum to the above: first of all, you can read Nexis's stories on the Mind Control Archives. The layout is not simple text, so it's a bit more flattering for such great fiction. The one I praised above, A Story for Mike, would be rated R. It is a bit dark, though it has the type of humour you might find in Roald Dahl's Kiss Kiss. Then, for you vampire lovers, go straight to A Dark and Stormy Night. It's just hilarious. It's great parody, the erotic subtext (and explicit content) will leave you awestruck. I'd say more, but I'd spoil the fun for prospective readers. Actually, the link here takes you to only half the story (it should be complete soon on the MCA). If you're impatient, It's here! And follow the adventures of Bert and Henry, a very dynamic duo of superheroes fighting to save Britain from the ultimate evil and the archvillain Sir Simon in Brighton Rock. Here is the link to the Nifty version. According to the author (who very kindly replied to my email, should I add...), it has been slightly edited since it was published on the MC archives. And in this version, there are explanations of some Brit pop-culture points that should help our non-UK friends to get the funny parts. Read only half of it, but until now it's PG 13 going onto R (PG 15?). I mean there are explicit acts, but nothing graphic, so our youngest members may have a good laugh with sexy superheroes (and a very evil, yet entertaining villain). I hope you enjoy, and leave a comment. This is worth clicking on the above links. I am neither paid nor brainwashed or mind-controlled to write these praises, by the way.

This is quite an impressive trailer. Hey Glomph, I couldn't locate the trailers of movies I've heard about on TV: Jean-Claude Van Damme's Henry the Fifth, the Ultimate battle and Joel Schumacher's take on Richard the Third with Gary Oldman. If you may spot them, they should be a nice complement to this promising version of Hamlet. To partially quote Iain from above, Billy Shakespeare is the most badass screenplay writer ever.

Just read this yesterday on Nifty in the authoritarian section: Story for Mike It's well-written, complete, and deals with strange fetishes, but has a nice plot. It's quite wicked, but it's really higher quality stuff IMO than a lot of stories in this particular section. I can't really comment further without giving away spoilers, but it's a nice 40 minutes of reading.

You're quite free to break your lines as you please. Of those who have filled my heart and warmed my body and illuminated my soul. Friends who were lovers, lovers who were friends gives yet another feel. A way to go could be to have different versions of your poem, let them rest for two weeks or more, then go back and have a look and reread the newest ones first and see if they still convey what you imagined. And which one you like best.

I don't know about this, but is it legal to give so many brand names in a single post?

Same as Graeme. If you put a nice spin on it, your characters are entertaining and your writing vivid and evocative, you'll have readers anyway. As a sub-sub-genre writer, I'll warn you not to expect tons of feedback from this place if you actually are into heavy gore fiction. But you might find people to work with, and there are actually other places where you'll get tons of readers. Plus it's nice to hang out here. And you were actually granted author status if you may post in here. So welcome!

I like the idea and organization (I think/ I wonder/ I weigh the possibilities. / I consider). I like the pace and the use of free verse (Of those who have filled my heart And warmed my body And illuminated my soul. Friends who were lovers, Lovers who were friends) My ginsbergian leanings would have it going more like: Of those who have filled my heart and warmed my body and illuminated my soul. Friends who were lovers, lovers who were friends I like the imagery of the vessel, and the way the question is asked. The last two verses: I see the temptation to repeat the question, which is also in the poem's title, but wouldn't "How do you measure infinity?" standing on its own be more effective? Plus you did give an answer above: "Surely my heart would have burst and my blood would have spilled From it like wine from a broken cask If a heart had limitations?" (BTW, why the question mark here?) These, once again, are just comments on a poem, and only my opinion, and should be taken as such.

OK, I like this poem. I read it like one month ago when you posted it. I hope I don't hurt your feelings, but here are the ways to make it work better for me. The two questions at the very beginning seem to be more or less what the poem is about, so it's kind of overly explicit. Dotage by Camy, arrogantly edited I know I love you as I stare into your eyes. But who knows what will happen: if in years to come, I'm suddenly struck, deaf, dumb, and blind. Will you care for me? as I enter my dotage. Will you wipe up dribble, and plenty worse to come? Will you say

The rhythm and the rhymes are quite good. I can hear it read aloud in my head. It might be the author's intent, but it remains really vague and it's not as touching as it would be (at least for me) were it with a few more stanzas and some more details about actual characters. Especially with such a poignant topic. Bring other poems, Kurt!

It takes place in Phoenix, Arizona. I think about you every time I see Patricia Arquette, CJames... Sorry if I project my own fantasies. In the Midwest, there are malls just like that also.
