Lugh, now I know where you got your great sense of humor from! You were born on April Fools' Day. Happy Birthday!

I just know he's going to do something bad to Eric. We must have SPiCE on alert in the coming chapters. Lord Goatamort is going to do something dastardly to him.

I think he's going to torture us with the Cody/Joe angle for a while. This is Shadowgod we're talking about.

Thanks for pointing out Dan's evil cliffies. Now I won't be accused of using those for a while. I just got into the story myself. I like it!

You must have ditched the title. Oh well! Anyway, I think I know what the title is all about. Who says Wikipedia never has anything useful? I most certainly won't say that. That must be foreshadowing of something delightful. The question is, "What horrors shall it take to get to that point?"

Maybe just a little. On a side note, I hate Barbara Streisand. [insert puke smiley] We'll have to wait and see what happens between the two. As I pointed out, there is a slight tendency to misdirect. Just as his title says, "The shadow knows..." Edit: That's what it used to say.

Some may never know the answer to that question.

I actually like the idea of perpetually staying the way it is right now. It means more evening time during the winter. I wish they'd just leave it. Going back and forth makes me tired, especially the spring one. :wacko:

Kev, I am the first to admit to not understanding the gender identity paradigm. At the same time, I do try to be sympathetic to gender minorities, because they are attacked just as much as we are. Having said that, I am definitely happy with my gender and have no plans to have any kind of surgery to change it. I have actually been trying to imagine what it's like, but I just cannot imagine having gender identity issues. I also do not think I would ever cross-dress. That is not my thing at all. I will try to remember to use terms like biological female in the future. I meant no offense to anyone at all.

That's an excellent point, Kevvie. While some may hide their emotions more than others, most people are emotional. When you say or do something hurtful, people are going to react, even if what you said was taken out of context or if what you did or said was unintentional. I know I have been guilty of such gaffes, and even straight friends have been mad or hurt at one time or another. I'm not know for being intentionally cruel, but I have been known to say things i should not say. I am quick to apologize though.

Well, I did just as you mentioned. Well, I can find out easily enough. See above! We have discussed this issue. You know why I am saying that by now. Quite frankly, if I am going to be accused of it, I will show everyone just how capable I am of using them!

Has anyone ever heard of a transitional bisexual? Well, for those of you who don't know a transitional bisexual is a condition of sexuality transitioning from heterosexual to bisexual. I believe myself to be one, and I think I'm to the point of being completely gay. I think part of my issue was accepting, and I have. I even made the change on my profile. I still see a few exceptions like Halle Berry and Carrie Underwood, but for the most part, I like men. Even with such exceptions, I could never really love them. It's not just on sexual level either. It's more about a joining of souls. Yes, I am a hopeless romantic, so please do not bother saying so. In other news, I will be working with the GAzette team. I will mostly be doing reviews, and as many of you know I have already done some reviews for anthology this year. Most of the anthology stories and poems I read were quite good. I intend to read some more of them soon. Also, if anyone has read my anthology story, I encourage you to talk about it in the thread even in you think it sucked. Well, I am going to be releasing a new chapter of Second Chances very soon. Gary has been thoroughly checking the chapter to make sure it is as close to perfection as we can get. I must say that I really appreciate everything he does. He is an exceptional beta reader. I would recommend him, but he is admittedly stretched thin right now. I can understand. There are only two authors that I beta read or edit for on GA, and I have no intention of having anymore. As it is, I write stories on top of the edting and beta reading I do. I'm also working on the GAzette team and hopefully I will continue to work with the anthology team. I too risk overdoing it if I take on anymore right now. In addition, I won't be posting quite as much in the forums, because I think I have overdone that a bit. For anyone who thinks it's good, one of the admins has told me that it creates a hassle for them, so please do not follow my bad example. From now on, I am going to try to have less than 20 posts in any given day, partly out of kindness to our wonderful moderating team. Also, I do not think I will have enough time on my hands.

Thanks for the anatomy lesson, Greg. I really don't see why the story is such a big deal though. She's still anatomically female, so there doesn't seem to be anything that unusual about it. Now, if it were the male-to-female post-op transexual, that would be huge news imho.

You, sir, have no room to talk, since you are also a contendor for such a title. I see this rivalry between you two. Okay, now that we have read Chapter 4, we have a lot more clues. Cody definitely has a thing for Joe, and Joe secretly feels the same way. While it looks like things may be heating up between the two, there's also a chance that we are being misdirected yet again.

There's already something in the works according to what they keep saying about Chapter 9. Don't blame me. I like evil cliffhangers. I just have not yet used them. Besides, Shadowgod does a lot of good. He's one of CJ's beta reader, and he writes some of the best stories on GA. Even if I did not like evil cliffhangers, I would still like what Shadowgod does.

You've got that right for sure. I know some people think it's weird to have straight friends, but I will never understand why. With straight people, you can just have a good time. On the other hand, gay friends are more likely to understand you. I judge people as people and not by who they share a bed with. I try to keep an open mind. Some of the best friends I have are straight.

I don't think Steve has ever claimed responsibility for those. Rather, he is falsely accused. Besides, Shadowgod is too busy creating diabolical cliffhangers in Dreams and Clipped Wings.

I added the all of that to the discussion thread. I should have added it to the story, but I forgot. <blushes> Thanks for the reminder, Sacha. I got an instant message about this very subject.

Tiff, I reviewed 15, and I still have 8 more to read. I read Myk's earlier today. Yes, the level of participation is most certainly wonderful. I just wonder if the summer anthology will be even bigger. I intend to be involved with it too. Now I'm inspired to write. Thanks again to everyone for making the Spring Anthology possible. As CJ said before, the authors are the ones who deserve most of the credit.

Who's Brendon? I have never heard of him. <hides from Mike>
