Thanks for the clarifcation. Either way, the people who win such a dubious award are definitely noteworthy of the phrase, "Here's your sign.

I echo your sentiments Benji! In fact, I am declaring a mild cliffy. We do not know if the band will survive yet another hit attempt by Mario! The goat is so evil. We have no idea what is going to happen. Yet, he dares to accuse Shadowgod of being the King of Evil Cliffhangers.

Speaking of those whose talent is an inspiration... Yes, I must say that you are definitely deserving, corvus.

Welcome to GA, Will. I say just get into discussions about your favorite stories and jump into any topics that strike your fancy. There is actually a teen forum, and there is a lot of good advice there! Check it out.

I'll tell you next Monday.

That was definitely an interesting chapter. I am definitely looking forward to the next chapter even though I am suspecting it to either be "edge of your seat" for the entire chapter or for there to be yet another deviously evil cliffhanger.

Jan, that's a marvelous idea! I would be so honored. Added: Yes, I agree about the death count in Dawn of Tears. dkstories's new series is not far behind on the death count though.

Happy Birthday, Tom!

That is scary. They would take evil cliffhangers to an all new level.

Amen to that. Mothers are wonderful.

Happy Birthday!

I'm the same way. However, I do tend to have it more often than some. It usually means something really good or something really bad. Once I even foreshadowed death in a twisted way. I happen to prefer authors who do not just have gratuitous sex in their stories. I like it to be tasteful.

Welcome, Jonnie. I too did not post for a few months after joining. Since I did actually start posting, I have not stopped.

I will probably never become a vegetarian. I like meat and not just THAT kind of meat. I do not believe there are more GLBT people who are vegetarians. I live in a rural town in Missouri. We don't have vegetarian types around here, so I do not usually come into contact with vegetarians.

I almost always listen to music while reading stories on GA. It's just something I do.

Martina McBride is one of my favorite country artists. She has a song called My Valentine. It is very romantic. If there were no words No way to speak I would still hear you If there were no tears No way to feel inside I'd still feel for you And even if the sun refuse to shine Even if romance ran out of rhyme You would still have my heart Until the end of time You're all I need My love, my valentine All of my life I have been waiting for All you give to me You've opened my eyes And showed me how to love unselfishly I've dreamed of this a thousand times before In my dreams I couldn't love you more I will give you my heart Until the end of time You're all I need My love, my valentine La da da Da da da da And even if the sun refuse to shine Even if romance ran out of rhyme You would still have my heart Until the end of time Cuz all I need Is you, my valentine You're all I need My love, my valentine

Mike, there were awards and C James won King of Evil Cliffhangers for 2008. We decided who would be the King of Evil Cliffhangers.

I think only those who are no longer breathing are candidates for Darwin Awards. Those who live just need a sign to carry around.

He does not have the cliffhanging throne anymore. You won that title fair and square. He may be an influence, but you are still responsible for your own evil cliffhangers. I have used one or two of them myself, and I admit it. I also take responsibility for them, especially since they are fairly recent.

I do believe you are downplaying your own evil here. You are the one who destroyed of city of over 100,000 people. Shadowgod has never done such a thing that I am aware of. I also seem to remember Christ and Steve from FTL being in some rather difficult circumstances. Someone tried to kill them! I don't remember any person trying to kill one of Shadowgod's characters in LiS, ASOB, or DnCW. Then again, I have only read one of his anthology submissions.

I think someone should definitely say unto him, "Here's your sign!" How could someone not know that gasoline is an accelerant?

So this guy is really not very smart. First of all, having the substance at all makes a person a complete idiot, but he had to go and try to find it in a public place where he had lost it. Does anyone else feel think some people have failed to evolve, and that they are in fact not human? What is wrong with people? Do they not know that it is a felony to have this stuff? I think the War on Meth speaks for itself in this regard.

It's probably better for your liver, Patrick. I say kudos to you. I guess I'll have to try the Shiraz then. It sounds really yummy. I have to agree about the chardonnay and merlot. They are nasty. There is a chardonnay I like. I just wish I remembered the brand. I can tell you that it's in a mini bottle. If I drink 2 of those, I'm feeling pretty good. I really do feel like getting drunk. Sorry Patrick, but we can't all be good boyz.

I'm sorry to hear that, Steve. Cancer is such a terrible disease. Something similar happened to my aunt and uncle. They have both had colon cancer. He even has a colostomy.
