  1. Thanks. Boas
  2. I am one of those peeps who is responsible for the millions of dvds delivered by Netflix. There are times that they come in with fingerprints on them. Is it ok to use windex to clean them? Thanks Boas
  3. I have no idea what a RSS feed is. I tend to read completed stories for the fact that I have started way to many stories, really get into them, and for whatever reason the author doesn't complete them. Also, there are times when it takes so long for an author to post the next chapter, that I lose interest, or forget about the story. (Best example of this would be Finding Family on Nifty. Great story. However there weren't any updates for over a year. Another example is The Scrolls of Icaria by Jamie. It is another great story, and the author has been on Hiatus for a long time.) I know authors have real life, and that may/does conflict with writing time. Then authors may get bored with what they are currently working on, so they start another story and get so caught up in that that the other story gets put on a back burner for an indefinint period of time. As for finding out about new stories, I have several places booked marked that I check on a regular basis, looking for completed stories. The Tarheel Writer has a page for recommended stories, both completed and ongoing stories. We have are Story Archive which gives a status of the story. There are times when I will see something recommended from here. In other words, its kinda hit or miss for me. Boy on a String
  4. Wow. What a story. I had two problems with it. The first was when Garret and Masako left for the Bolt Hold. Masako was due in two months. Garret spent a week in the bolt hold, then 'months' (don't know why, but that sounds like more than two to me, though maybe it was only two months) and then three weeks at the Capital of the Republic before heading back to Calos. After arriving, an indeterminate amount of times passes (a week or two?) before she finally gives birth. The second problem I had was with how it ended. I KNEW that BASTARD wasn't going to keep his word. I am surprised that there was anything in the escape pod. I was always unsure about Aaron. I could never put my finger on why, until he finally revealed himself, and the the clues jumped out at me, about how he made so many snide remarks to Garret about clones. As usual, DK wrote a fantastic story. This one, for some reason this story, in a way. took the wind out of my sails. I can't quite explain it, but with the ending, they way it happened ... man, o' man. I do wonder, DK, how your mind works and how you come up with such rich, vivid, wonderful plots full of details, descriptions, and characters who are so believably human. Thank you, again, for sharing your writings. Boy on a String
  5. Well, I wonder if Dan writes another sequel if it will be called, "Got it Right"? Fantastic story. I really hope you will write another sequel, with a "Happy Ending", but not sure if that is feasible. It would be interesting to see the Dan break the 'Butterfly" effect. I think he is one of the very, very few who could do it. Thank you, Dan for the great ride. I started reading this story line ... and lost sleep to do so ... well after you started "Lets Do It". I only had to wait for the last two chapters, so I feel fortunate. Hope your vivid imagination continues, and that you will continue to share your thoughts and dreams with us. Boy on a String
  6. Hi, I am looking for some stories to read. Because of time constraints, and how long it can take chapters to be written/posted, I was wondering if any of your stories have been completed. I am interested in Tim and the Corsair. Thanks for your time. Boy on a String
  7. Hi all. I am an avid reader. I usually like to read completed stories, for there are times that there are long wait between chapters, or worse, something happens and the author never completes a story (I have found this true on Nifty, and at times in the story archive here. I notice on Dan Kirks site, that his stories have a status that states whether the story is 'complete' or 'in progress'. I have only checked a few of the authors, for there are now so many of them, and I have noticed that the authors that I have checked don't have this on there pages. It would be nice, when I am browsing to know if a story is complete or in-progress, for there is so much to read, and so little time to do it in. I am wondering there would be a way to change things so I (we?) could see if a story was complete or in-progress when I (we?) browse through there sites? Thanks
  8. I have just read the Do-over series. I really like the stories ... and the horror that Dan did with the end of the world. It was really a fun series to read. Having finished Lets Do It, I like how this time it is Brian who is the narrator and who went back in time. I also notice that on the 'chapter page', it says the last update for 'Let's Do It' was in Sept. 7, 2007, in on the 'story title' page, it says that the work is in progress. Will there be more chapters coming out? Or is the story finished? I am most interested in how the CIA will view them staying? Of course that might mean that they try to blackmail them into something. Although that could set them up as well as deep sleeper agents. So, Dan, will there be more chapters? If so, how long till the next one? And how long until the story is finished? Thank you very much for sharing your active imagination with us.
  9. Hi, all. I just read Rider's Pride. I really like the way Dan can weave a yarn ... it is incredible. And I am glad that he did a fanfic of Pern. I have always liked these books. I would like to thank those that posted about all the Pern books and short stories out there ... I now have a couple more to read. I would like to mention that when I first read the second book, Dragon's Flight, while I didn't pick up on the point that caught Dan's eye, I did pick up the point near the end of the book where F'lar repramanded the Blue and Green rider who where weyrmates. They were out and about way to close to the green rising and it was making her rider very prodgy. The end of the story was sad. I also think it was the most appropiate ending for the story. (It could have been the Weyrleader dying instead, but this was the better ending). The other Pern books usually glossed over the loss thread brought to the Wyers. I am, Dan, extreamly interested in the epilogue ... however, I do hope you will right another fanfic of Pern. I was very saddend when you pulled your HP fanfics. They were wonderful, thought out stories, just like this one, and well worth the read. (I do understand why you did it. I wish I had downloaded the stories so I could re-read them, but I didn't.) I am glad that Anne McCaffery allows fanfics of her stories, and hope Rowlins will some day do the same. I wonder if anyone could give links to other fanfics of Pern that are worth reading? Again, thanks for the wonderful story, Dan Boy on a String ps, the link to the guidelines that Anne McCaffery has about fanfics is a dead link. pps. Well, maybe not ... I just clicked on it and it opened the window. I have tried for the last two days and got a site doesn't exist.
  10. I found it interesting. While I don't believe in the choice theory ... people don't chose to be gay, I do believe that it can be several factors combined. Part may be genitics, part may be hormones and part may be enviornment. All these factors have an influence. I am worried about how someone who is seen as 'efemininit' now that this has aired being bullied even more by family and peers. The one twin at the begining of the show may find his life taking a really rough turn when he enters puberty and or high school. Boy on a String
  11. What happened to Dan Kirks HP stories? I went to his hosted site, and couldn't find his fan fics of HP. Boy on a String
  12. I noticed that when you put the curser on Chapter 27, Chapter 28 also highligts. Chapter 28 opens up. I have not been able to find Chapter 27. Boy on a String
  13. http://www.comcast.net/entertainment/index...cvqh=itn_doogie I found this interesting. Boy on a String (I wonder if he will continue to play his current roll on CBS or not)
  14. Couple of days late ... and several dollars short ... HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MYR hope you had a good one Boy on a String
  15. Hi all. Thanks for the wishes. My folks were in town to help me celebrate, so I have not been around. And, thankfully, my Father, who is a retired general contractor was able to help me fix my plumbing (actually he did it and I helped him ) It only took 5 days ... man, what a pain Boy on a String

  18. http://www.nifty.org/nifty/gay/adult-youth...pare-a-quarter/ Can you spate a quarter is the nam of the story I was thinking of. Boy on a String Lib, can you provide a link to the one you are talking about? Thanks
  19. Maybe someone can help my out with the title. It was on Nifty, in the adult/youth section. A really good story where this gay man helps a boy who was living on the street. He passed him by the first time, just gave him some money, then went back after the meeting. He almost didn't see him again. When the boy revealed himself, the man took him home and helped him through recovery. I believe it took place in Canada. Boy on a String
