  1. "Billy" should follow what he feels is right. in that situation I would say stay in the closet until after college Most parents tend to figure this kinda thing out anyway but deny it
  2. Happy Birthday man!
  3. Does it have to be yellow? Cuz that for me is horribly difficult to read can it be blue again?

  7. Been reading over the thread and I'd just like to say that each of you are wonderful people with hearts of gold. I hope you can all beat the dragon we call depression. I have had my moments of depression (mainly whilst i'm at home or if something happens at university with friends thats the one i find hard to deal with). My thoughts are with you all always
  8. I'm going to keep my vote simple this time because lots of arguments are happening and i'm hoping others will follow. Sorry Vote: Quonus10

  10. Hey dude Well done man; you have come so far You only have a little few steps to go but take all the time in the world. You know you have love; you know you have friends out there We all love you and we know you can do it; these things take time
  11. What did I do? I'm just trying to get everyone to start talking. I think we all need to agree on a person and see what happens from there. Who is most likely to be against us. There's only four town people left (if this is a balanced game - if not you evil moderator!) and we don't want the Mafia to win. Who can we put the suspicion on?
  12. oh damn hope it comes back online soon
  13. That's alot lugh but you can do it I think i need to do this sort of thing
  14. good luck i'm just starting another story of my own
  15. Excellent to have more people interested I think plans will come together towards April time; so people have time to book and stuffz
  16. I will contact Libby and C James then Thanks very much guys And I love the mystery genre, but i've never had the confidence to write one but i'm feeling a bit more ready to write on now
  17. So who do we think is doing it? The suspicion has been raised about Q10, Adam Thomas and Krista. Do we lynch one of them? Or do we wait til night and one of us is killed off? (Note: Wouldn't it be funny if the moderator was killed )
  18. Hi Guys I was wondering if anyone could give me advice on writing a mystery/whodunnit. I've got this character running around in my head and she won't leave me alone. How do you approach writing mysteries? Is there anyone with specific experience on the website with this genre of writing who could provide a higher level of mentoring (aka some help with plotting, planning, how to approach structure etc.) I think once I have the above I should be fine. Can anyone help or link me to stuff that could help?
  19. I don't really have any favourites. I have food I don't like though Another deep question for the next person to quote Shakespeare: "What is Love?" - Twelfth Night
  20. In a bathroom If you could throw everything away, what would it be for?
  21. Glad hear she is recovering; stay strong Q
  22. Tell me I couldn't have the life that I want and to not be allowed to follow my dreams? When it comes down to it, What is your ultimate dream life?
  23. I didn't see this when it was initially posted. I have the same issue as to Efiction as many others; I had alot of reviews in EFiction that have just gone and now people just don't want to review again because they have already reviewed. I've saved all my reviews on a document but thats not the point. I like GA Stories as a writer because its easy to post stories however, I think the background colour is hard for a reader to cope with. As a beta reader, I don't really use GA Stories; i tend to just communicate via email or via msn. Around 6 months ago, I found myself in a state of self deprecation because i had no reviews and nothing coming in and I was finding it very hard to write. Just a little feedback is all I would need eg the anthologies; the reviews that are 3 words mean just as much as those that are 300. I respond to every single one. I would love for there to be a conversation section in the reviews; which would make it so much more interactive for the author and the reader. I personally dislike the emphasis on the forums now. I think it should be able the stories in GA.Stories and less about forum discussion. I think if the shift is made; there would be more physical reviews and more interaction. My main issue would be the lack of interaction in the reviews section. Oh and also it feels like there are no readers anymore. I post but it doesn't get read; which is very disenhearting. Thanks to a friend I'm now Peer Reviewed (100+ Likes) and still when I post barely any response. I never plan to leave but it would be nice to entice the readers in. An idea might be is to eliminate the 'author' status, and make another 'signature' role such as a 'Try Out' or a 'Applicant'; so that GA Stories isn't flooded with new stories. Said Applicants wouldn't be posted in the main stream and would have their own section in the website and then the populace would be able to vote via review to make them full authors. Then have 'Author'. Then 'Promising', who as they have now their own forum. Then the highest accolade of the 'Hosted' Author, which means they would have a website and their own personal page in GA. This is what I found put me off reading hosted stories because it feels like everyone is the same now; even though the abilities of the Hosted Author far excel the work of a smaller author (such as myself). Hope i didn't ramble too much
