Novelty

Can't wait to not watch Jessica Alba Oh and something for the rest of you guys...

I write chapter by chapter reviews for dkstories Do Over Redux. The author doesn't mind them, and they get read some. I try not to dictate where I think the story should go (although sometimes I fail there), and I try to ensure that the criticism, if any, are constructive. If in doubt, ask the author first, I'm sure it varies from author to author.

Hope you have a day to Chill out! Have a great day.

You can or you can't? Oh and Benji, what do you mean by "weird"?

What will we do without Myr? I have no clue. What can we do for Myr? To quote a line from my favourite broadway musical: "I know, I'll get him a boyfriend!"

Hope you had a good nights sleep last night GhostRyder, and I hope the lawnmowers didn't wake you this morning Have a good one and here's to many more birthdays for you!

Like what you see as my avatar? If anyone wants an animated avatar, get all the pictures ready, PM me about it and I'll get back to you. Yes, this is part of my community service after annoying Dan earlier in the chat. Myr: Is there a limit on the filesize or image size for the forums, if the avatars are stored on site?

You might want to consider an ICQ channel that could also be accessible via a webpage. Just a thought.

Thanks!

Not really a "gay" story as per se, but it's a Sci-Fi with homosexual elements, the e-published "Earthbound" series of books by DM Arnold is always a good read. Here's a link. http://www.virtualimprint.com/earthbound/about.htm Also, to read (for free) books online by big name publishers (Mercedes Lackey, Larry Niven, etc.) try the Baen Free Library.

(This was going to be a PM, but then I decided there might be others who wanted an answer to this as well, so it ended up being a forum post. Feel free to delete this and answer via PM, Myr, if you don't want it cluttering up this forum). One quick question: What's the difference between all the groups? OK, so some are functional (Moderators, Administrator), but what about the rest? The groups are: Site Administrator Administrator Moderator/Author Hosted Author Published Author Advanced Author Editor Author Newbie Author Members Newbies Validating

Will do that when I write out the 17 review sometime tomorrow. Busy with a million other things at the moment.

Just for the record, I can't agree with the last part of that statement, but then you probably know that based on my DOReviews

Ah Cool, Trebs has an avatar. That's Ballad, isn't it? Anyways, back to the blogs: Recent comments is good as well, but it's no substitute for a proper forum IMO. Also, blog comments are not searchable too, or at least they weren't so yesterday. If you're going to tweak the blog, would it be possible to make the comments searchable?

Heh, score one for me. Neener neener neener.

It's OK Jole. Dan doesn't want a forum specially dedicated to him as well, and his reasons are in the first post of this thread. The reason why he started this poll was to: 1. halt everyone asking him privately for a forum dedicated to himself. I believe he was getting at least one a day since that comment I made in his post, and he's been a bit miffed by all that. 2. increase poster discussion OUTSIDE the Dom forums. The fact that you are posting here is proof enough that he's succeeding. 3. stroke his own ego by demanding 100 more "Yes" votes than "No" votes. Well, that and to ensure that the additional work involved in "maintaining" a forum isn't "wasted" by having it open to only a handful of people. That's good and all, I guess. The original reason I suggested that Dan should have a forum is so that the readers who want to post threads like "Why is Davey's mom such a bitch?" and "Whose funeral was it in Chapter 16?", for example, have currently no place to post them. Sure, they can be posted as comments to the blogs, but it gets confusing in there. Likewise, posting them in The Cafe is not going to get as much response as posting them in a forum dedicated to Dan's stories. But at the end of the day, it's up to Dan. On one hand, he wants more fan discussions, but on the other hand, he's stifling discussion IMO, by not having a forum for his stories.

Well, I have a few more hours until we get Chapter 17... so...

Quick question for Dan: If I created over 100 new accounts and vote yes on the poll, will we get the forum? That thought did cross my mind though I doubt I'll be doing it anytime soon.

Nyaah, I'm not going to mass PM everyone. The fun of the whole thing is the journey it takes to get there Let's see if it'll get the support it needs organically.

Urgh, your vote shouldn't count Dan Response to the edit: There are about 8 hosted authors here. Isn't 20% of the forum total a bit too much

Introduce ourselves? Uh.... urm.... Hello. My name is Novelty and I'm a Danaholic. Thanks to Dan, I'm now attempting to write my own story. I'm also filling in as the editor to GhostRider's Kombat Kids for the time being. I hope someone has 15 points for a Danaholic like me. Next?

Hey Ben. Don't mind Dan there, he's just weird these days. I don't think he can deal with the pressure that the Danaholics is putting on him so he's going a bit crazy. Oh where was I? Yeah, enjoy the forums and feel free to be yourself around here.

Heh, the site went down in 2003 which took the winds from my sails from it. I went on to work on another site. When I finally got the main site to work again, I really didn't feel like updating it, so I let it lie fallow for a while... Parts of the website though is still alive with activity - last I checked, it was averaging 20 unique hits and 200 page views a day - although it's not connected to the rest of the duchy. I've got my fingers in way too many pies. If you are really that bored PWS, log onto MSN or AIM and join the Danaholics chat - it seems to have become a regular thing after last weekend... we've had it everyday this week so far...

Hey Apollo. Nice to see you here as well. Feel free to post in the wider forums once in a while. I know the Dom forums are fun too... maybe that's why Dan's been stuck in there for a while now...

I like his music, but the closes I've seen how he's reinvented himself lately is an ad on Yahoo...
