The Story Lover

There are several new stories in The Dragon Earl Universe, please check them out and let 'Goos' know what you think of his story. TSL

I prefer Times New Roman and occasionally use Geneva. I have found Garamond works well for some things.

Kevin, It sound likes you are using the Felis Note Tracker and not The Felis Character Roster Program. If you try that program you will see the buttons every one is talking about. If you still have problems let me know and I will try and asnwer them. TSL

Will the boys continue collecting 'brothers'? Will Timmy ever get his koala bear? These questions and more will be answered soon. Stayed tuned. Let the author know what you think TSL

The level of violence in this story seems to be on the right keel. The vilonce is anecessary and integral part of the story.The violence is not there just for the sake of being violent. As slong as the violence has a point or serves to enhance a portion of the story i have no problem with it. The moral and messages througout the story as well as the support given to the characters make this an excellent story. TSL

Chapter Three is now live at my site. Check it out new Authors and New stories. TSL

Chapter Thirtenn of 'New Brother' by Graeme is now live at The Story Lovers Home A very interesting chapter the ice may be beginning to thaw for someone's feelings. Keep up the Great work Graeme. TSL

Cracker, Are you directing your frustration towards the readers who don't respond to you stories or the functioning of this board? I am beginning torealize the old saying "you can bring a horse to water but you can't make him drink" is true. I also belong to several boards and moderate one and I do see the same thing: lots of members and only a few posters. As a fellow author, newbie that I am I am experiencing the same thing. However as a site owner I do have a sligh advantage I can see daily how many people are reading my story from my site as well as the GA Links Page. I am going to ask everyone here the question I ask an author whose stories I also edited. Who do you write for? Do you write for the joy of writing? Do you write for yourself? or do you write for the feedback from the readers? I believe that you have to write for the first two and that if you write solely for the third you will spend many frustrating days and nights. Does that mean I don't write for responses? NO I beg for them also and when I do get them I am ecstactic whether positive or negative. I have been lucky so far the few I have received have been positive and the negative ones were of a positive nature. AS I have stated before I read for years before I started responding. I think a lot of readers just want to read a story and go on to the next one. I wish it wasn't true but I am believing it more and more. I realize that as an author of only 2 chapters so far and only a few humble poems I haven't experienced as much frustration as the rest of you may have, but for me II am going to continue to write until the muse leaves me. Of corse my mind may change when I have written as many stories and chapters as the rest of you have. As for me I am just going to read and enjoy the comments I do receive and go on from there. Thanks for letting me get my 25 cents out. TSL

Ethan, Definitely read Little Bear next and don't forget Johnny it is a very good story also. Chapter 48 of LAFB is in the pipe somewhere TSL

Mike, Sorry about the mouthful and it was directed at mostly readers this time. You notice how many authors have replied versus readers? And yes you have responded every time I wrote to you. I also read Louis L'Amour's stories while growing up many a chore didn't get done as a result. At least my missive provoked some heartfelt discussion among us I only hope it increased reader response as well. TSL

Myr. Movieguy's site is one of those that keeps disappearing. TSL

Myr, Thanks I appreciate that you are tireless worker. TSL

Ok the fight is over we will post the story in the archives shortly. Thanks for visiting The Cafe' stop by again real sson. TSL

We will work on that TSL

I haven't been around here much lately for several reasons. I have been busy editing stories and at the same time writing one. I haven't written anything like this since College and we won't talk about how long ago that was. The story is "Hearts Across Space" and is posted at Gunrunners Corner Cafe' The Corner Cafe' This is my first attempt at writing anything of this size so it is a little slow beginning. TSL

Ethan, Where do I find your story?

BW, You have a very good point and I do try and put the title in the subject and defintely in the body of the message. And I thank you for responding to responding to my emails regarding "Castaway Hotel" I do hope you continue to write your wonderful heartwarming story. I will edit my earlier post to include the suggestion about the story name. Thanks for all the feed back ,now where are the readers? TSL
