  1. I'll take a peek ASAP. I'm way behind on reading your stories Oooops, this is my post No. 100. The forum is appropriate, the timing is hugely delayed. I'll try to pop in a little more often than every other year (literally).
  2. It depends. Is the author any good? Can he write a credible sex scene? Is the story any good? What is the author's intention with the story? Is the sex relevant to the plot? Are the characters interesting to me? Am I in the right mood? I have read stories where the sex is the story, more or less, both excellent and horrible stories. I have read stories where the sex has enhanced, detracted or had little impact on the story. I have read stories where there was too much or too little sex, or the timing in the story is wrong. I have read stories where the sex was all right, I guess, just totally irrelevant to my preferences. IMHO there can be no hard or fast rules as to sex in a story. But if you go to Nifty, or here, to read stories, you have no right to complain that there is sex in a story... If you don't like a story, or an author, you do however have every right to vote with your feet (or mouse).
  3. I've been away for ages, and when I decided to pop in for a peek, I'd hoped for more TCH chapters. I am still hoping... I did notice however that something has happened with Sword of Kings 007
  4. Some cell phones have the ability to up- and download. ***** If you have an spare/old computer, you can rig something up over/near to the bed. A screen (LCD if awailable) on some kind of swivel table to be pushed out of the way when not needed, wireless keyboard and/or mouse. If you only use it for reading, even an old 386 with Win95 will do. ***** Personally, I opted for using my main computer, with an 19" LCD and a very good office chair, properly adjusted. I can sit for hours and hours on end, with no problems.
  5. Just testing to see if it works... But as someone said on another board: Why don't computers do what we want them to do, instead of what we ask them to do? Anyone who comes up with a quick fix to that one, will get very rich, very fast...
  6. Some sweet coding there. I've seen it before - with a NYC background, I believe, but I lost the addy. Thanks 007
  7. which is why I use a 19" LCD... Actually the list of features look interesting - we'll see how things work out. Expect some odd looking posts from me though... 007
  8. What a queer article. The author is obviously afraid of being different - being different should not be allowed. Now; I don't know the Bible by heart - far from it - but I cannot remember anything in the words of Jesus that says being different is bad; on the contrary, I'd say. So, to me the question is, why did he write this piece? - to prove that being different is being gay, and should be discouraged - to prove he's eloquent - to warn of fundamentalist Christians - to prove that being popular is bad Your guess is as good as mine. I'd rather Book 6 007
  9. Impressive, the dictionary that is. Somebody must have spent quite a few hours on building that site... for you too
  10. Is it a major publisher, one who is likely to bring in big bucks??? If yes, it is worth rewriting, perhaps. If no, it is better to find a publisher who is OK with gay literature, and do a minimum sanitazion when necessary. But remember, some of those who are likely to read it, have probably already seen it at Nifty, so the word will spread, whether you want to or not. So, either you need do a total rewrite, changing names, location, big chunks of story line etc. etc., or, better IMHO, be upfront about it. There are Nifty stories that have been published as books. Whether the author made much money from it is another matter. The title I liked best is 'The Children No One Wanted', but that title might put some potential buyers off. What about 'A Haven For Unwanted Children'? More upbeat, easier to sell, I think. BTW, I hope you'll finish the story. 007
  11. I have read several of Paolo's stories, and learned to appreciate his well crafted stories. Haven't checked Eunoch for over a year though, so he might well have written new stories I'm not aware of... Last time I checked Eunoch, there was an Author index, simple to use. 007
  12. OK, a week late , but never the less Happy Birthday, . You can however be very glad you didn't have to hear me sing 007
  13. Thanks for posting it , Hotmail is still playing nasty tricks on the mailed version. And oh yes, last but definitely not least, thanks for the efforts in writing it 007
  14. I haven't done any research, but I'd think direct contact with the warts could cause infection. Genitalia, including the scrotum, has a very thin skin, which makes it easier to absorb whatever there is to be absorbed, into the blood (the penis itself has fairly thick skin, but often small fissures that can allow contact with blood). Just some thoughts, the first to come up with some authorative research wins...
  15. Unless you're allergic, a small dose of Aspirin or other acetylsalisylic acid medication can also make the difference between life and death. Note: other kinds of headache tablets, such as paracetamols, do not have that effect. (As far as I'm concerned, paracetamols should be banned, except they're useful in certain situations not directly related to pain. Too inefficient, too many side effects, too narrow a margin between efficient dose and overdose)
