Novelty

I'm sure he'd prefer that you jerk him off instead, but that might be difficult given the distance you'd have to go

LOL, first on-board attempted romance for Dan. Oh well Dan, there's always a lot more Brits out there

I think the chatlog has something about Mist of Fates. Not too sure about Dawn though.

hello kit... or jed. Here's me formally welcoming you to this place. No I don't own this place or pay for it or maintain it, that would be Myr, but you probably know that already. Anyways, hope to see more of you

Welcome robbie. Glad to have you with us. This is a friendly place so feel free to take in all the friendliness and join the fun. Well, with the exception of dkstories ... that guy is just plain evil

Here's the log of the message with the misc chatter between the other people removed (otherwise the chat is going to be too long, but consequently the conversation might be a bit disjointed) and removed all the emotes, all the people joining and leaving. Also, i shortened some of the names, as some of them were showing up as their full email address on my client.

Myr, quick request from me: Can you log the chat and post it (or a summary of it) on the forums for those people who will be missing it? Please do consider this. Thanks.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Welcome Jole. Hope you have fun here.

It's good that we are going to break the 10k barrier, but Myr's original post gave me the impression that he was going for quantity and not quality. Well, that may not have been the case, I'm sure we do want both quality and quantity on the forums. Perhaps this should really go into a PM (but I'm lazy). When I first found this forum, I thought, "Hey cool, a forum with writers, this should be stimulating". Well, I was in for a let down. Most of the posts were less than cerebral with the predominate type of post being "Yay, new chapter. Awesome. Can't wait for more!". Although there is nothing wrong with those types of posts, I was a bit flabbergasted that this was a forum for authors. The quality of the posts seemed substandard to me coming from a group of authors and author wannabes. I mean, I've read more in-depth discussion about Jennifer Anistan's hair in the Friends forum. I wanted to "raise the bar" a few notches, if allowed, and to push the boundaries a little bit. After all, these forums are for authors and author wannabes. Hence the Do Over Redux reviews (and I'm sorry if I'm picking on you too much, Dan). What do my reviews do? It allows me to express myself, for one. More importantly though, it gives the writer feedback in a useful form as opposed to just being general encouragement. Do I expect everyone to write reviews? No. But it would be nice to have a good discussion going on about the stories on the forums and I guess we have got there with Do Over Redux. Hopefully, the other stories would move into that realm if they haven't already done so. At the end of the day what am I doing? Community building. I get PM'ed whenever Dan posts a new chapter by a number of people, which makes me wonder if they are waiting for my reviews after the chapter. I have had IM discussions about DOR with a number of people on these forums. And I'm enjoying it. At the end of the day though, I hope the pursuit of quantity will not let the pursuit of quality fall by the wayside. We need both to go hand in hand.

And what's so magical about the 10k mark? Is the world going to end when that happens? Or will we get the spring anthology by then?

Links on Dan's Do Over page

Well, I don't have recurring dreams... I just have dreams that are sequels... they don't run night after night though... it could be a few months later that I get the "continuation" of the dream. Very bizzare.

Myr, one thing I find missing from each of the story pages is that there isn't a direct link to the forums here. That would be cool and might encourage people to leave their feedback on the forums... that is if you do want them to place their feedback here. Well, just so that people are aware, I'm only on this site because it's the first place that Dan posts his Do Overs and I've been a fan of that since... chapter 1 of the first story. I don't particularly have the time to read anything else here though (not even Dan's Harry Potter stuff), so my apologies if I don't provide any feedback for anyone else here. My advice for people who want their stories to be read... and better still get some feedback? Make sure the first line, if not the first paragraph of the first chapter of the story entices and encourages the reader to continue. Bait them early, and they'll follow your story, hook, line and sinker.

Welcome to Lor83b. Hah! I beat movieguy to it for once

I'm sure Anthony Fedorov is just your type Sad tragic story abotu how he had a thracheaoctamy (or however that is spelt) when he was young, blah blah blah. I tell you 2 people I would be cheering OUT of the competition: That Scott guy from Ohio and Konstantin the rocker.

Are the original B5 crew interested in being in the movie though? It does take 2 to tango...

I was going to email Myr about this idea, but decided I'll put this here instead. I was just thinking that those "dead tree" books have a quick summary (usually on the back cover) of what the story inside the book is all about, and I was wondering if maybe the featured authors could have something similar as well on their pages... just a thought. What do you think?

Heh, you could start some of your own topics Mike.

I wonder how many of you are suffering from Do Over withdrawal. It's sad that even though I know it's over, I still check the Do Over page hoping for an update or something. It's good to know that Dan is considering a sequel (but please don't rush it Dan) so I guess I'll have to make do until then. Or I can "do over" Do Over again.

Welcome Rogue988, and enjoy your stay here.

Happy New Year, everyone. I hope this year brings y'all all that your heart desires.

I've been told that gay men only wear thongs. pffft! Why torture oneself with a permanent wedgie? What type of underwear do you wear and why?

A remember reading The Quartered Sea a while back (the 4th of a series of books) by Tanya Huff and was surprised that she got away with blatant homosexuality in there. The first three books weren't so blatant about it though. Anyways, I was wondering if anyone has come across these types of published stories.

Thanks. Wait...Just my site? Not me? :wacko: Well, glad you liked my site anyways.
