I am really glad that you liked the story Cia. I have seriously considered continuing this story later this year sometime as i think there is a lot of potential in Abe and Tristan. The bar scene with Abe and Malcolm is one of my favorites in the story. Thank you so much Momma Rush for stopping in, you know how much I value your opinion. I had to embrace the straight guy falling for the gay guy theme in this for some reason and having no idea why, but I'm glad that it works out. You are very welcome.

Hello Cia, its good to hear from you again. I'm glad that you liked this chapter, i think it might be second favorite chapter in the series, thus far at least. Billy is making some very slight progress on his own, its a real two steps forward one step back situation, he's got no one to galvenize him into action. The convo with David and Walker was a tuffy for me, I wants Walker to remain loyal yo Billy and his secrecy but I also wanted him to be blantenty enough for David to pick up on it, glad it worked. I love Sam, she is just wonderful in my opinion, she does go overboard on the huffy stuff though, the conversation with her and David was one of funnest I've written, I couldn't help the Wizard of Oz reference lol. Don't worry about Zeek and Jake, we'll be seeing more from them soon, considering I am writing the next chapter as we speak lol Best Wishes, NightOwl Hey Drewbie, I'm glad you stopped in. I like David too and he is exactly what Billy needs, but then Billy is exactly what David needs too, funny huh? Their current situation will be resolved soon, I promise. best, NightOwl

That Princess is evil, and NOT in a good way either(and yes Evil can be good). I look forward to seeing how the connection to Tarenna comes into the future, it is a very intriguing idea. I so love a good journey, I look forward to seeing what happens. I didn't really think they would be storming the Villiage, but I am curious as to how they get in undetected. As always I look forward to reading more. And as before you are very welcome, you review for me and comment in my forums so its the elast I can do. I need to do the same to Nephy...she's so good to me but it seems I enver have time to get to her work. BEst Wishes, NightOwl

COOOOl I didn't realize there would threads for the stories...god I'm dumb some days...I hope everyone who reads the story will enjoy it!!!!

Hey Yall, I just wanted to let you know that the sixth chapter of Indiana Summer is up in the efiction section, check it out and enjoy, OR ELSE lol. Indiana Summer Ch6

I loved chapter 19 Cia. I especially liked the part with the whole *connecting to Tarranna during love making* it was very nice, I liked it a lot. I can't wait to see them *storming* the Village!!! And of course Darea was hillarious through out the entire chapter. Bel'loc's relief and joy at being home was pure and precious. The Pollala leaf was hillarious too. Best, NightOwl

I admit I find this thread to be slightly disturbing but what the heck lol. Keeping with the Yu-Gi-Oh theme I'd take the Pharoh version of Yugi in the first few seasons. Wolverine from any incarnation of the X-men, that goes for Nightcrawler, Professor X and and Cyclops too lol, but the Cyclops fromt he newest X-men cartoon series. Oddly enough this isn't that hard for me, I loved the X-men growing up...for OBVIOUS resons....Oh would Power Ranger people count, since its not a cartoon?

Good point Nephylim, I hadn't considered...

No worries about my continued patronage Cia, you always review and visit my forums so its the least i can do. I am curious as to who might be coming back unexpectedly, there are SOOO many possibilites, there have been a lot of charecters left in the past....

This topic really raises some pretty deep questions for me, which is something I need to think about more often; I don't want to be one of those formless, shapeless, uninspired people who just float through life. The concept of passion isn't something I've really considered untill now, in either sense of the word to be honest. Like Cia I don't think I have a single all consuming 'Passion'. I'm passionette when it comes to a lot of things though, my writing, reading, my dedication to my family and friends, the preservation and conservation of nature, my nature photgraphy; when i have the time to pursue it. You would think that people who have a sinple passion would miss the flavor of life, the variety. Like Corvus said life is constatly changing, constantly challenging, I think being dedicated, being tied down to a single passion would be hindering to the evolution of the person. Perhaps I'm wrong, I dunno. Best Wishes, NightOwl

I really like chapter 3, I am really hoping that Sorre gets his in the end, snatching Collin like that.

Their back on Tarenna....SOOOO happy. I can't wait, I am looking so forward to the next chapter. It was a great chapter, very touching with Bel'loc's amazment at being in space and his home coming to Tarenna it was very well written. I like Darea, just like everyone else, she's a very driven charecter; very colorful. I can't wait to see her in action.

Ok well first of all, very nice chapter, although I am about to choke you if you don't explain about Shawns dad soon, I mean REALLY I love an unresolved emotional plot point as much as the next writer but DUDE your killing me here lmao. I like how you did this chapter, I mean you have to tear away everything from a charecte before you can build them into something/someone better right? I also loved the whole *phantom* lover thing you did with Anthony, I look forward to seeing how that gets resolved. In answer your question about life/detail of charecters. I don't think i do this, I try to come up with as much detail as possible about them to make them seem real but without making them sound busy, if that makes any sense at all. Al though you to DO pose some interesting ideas, small stuff that I've never considered, allergies for instance, is something I've never considered writing into a charecter, but I think I'll consider it lol. As to getting some reading done I can't make many suggestions as to the Hosted Authors, having not had the time to get to them, but in efiction there are a lot of good authors, off top of my head I suggest Nephylim, Cia, Liukas Soli, Shatterheart, Emulated, and David McLeod. THere are of course many others, its just that these are the folks whose work I am most familer with.

This is one of my favorites to be perfectly honest with you, I've gotten it a few times in the last couple of years, although I have no idea why.

Get Well soon David, we all miss you.

Hey Paya, I'm so glad that you stopped in. I am sorry that you missed the chapter, I posted a thread in the e-fiction announcement area and in here, I dunno how you missed it. I'm really sorry the story is taking so long to develop, this is just how it worked out, I do appologize though. I promise things are going to start moving forward though. Don't count Billy out just yet, I have big things in store for our local county boy. Best Wishes, NightOwl

Hey Cia, seventeen is a GREAT chapter. I espcially like Bel'loc's trepidation and amazment on being on a tech *advanced* world, it was very endearing. I'm also a big fan Meln, he's been a minor charecter but he's very interesting. I look forward to seeing the kind of trouble Darrea gets into lol.

For a bit of a bear cub like myself you would be surprised how many folks don't belive i'm gay because I DON'T exibit any of the so called *effeminate stereotypes* I'm not *stylish* give me jeans a t-shirt and some running shoes and I'm set I hate to shop and I listen to country and southern rock(that alst one REALLY messes with the heads for some reson). Its funny though how a lot of my good qualities do get tossed in with me being gay, when folks realize it. I've been able to cook, clean, maintain a household, sew, and do laundry like a pro since I was thirteen years old and while most folks seem to attribute that to me being gay its in reality due to have a lazy a$$ slave driver for a stepdad and old world grandma. I think that some stereotype are picked up as we grow and others are preseant from the time we're born (which then i don't think are stereotypes but a persons actually personality). My ex for example could be a poster child for many of the so called *gay stereotypes* He's got the effeminate voice, the *gay* style with his clothes, he knows more about fashion then most models, and he's been like that SINCE CHILDHOOD. For him its not a stereotype it is LITERALLY who he is. Stereotype do exist but I think you ahve to be careful as to how you apply them, for some its not stereo, for some its who they are. What really gets me though are the ones out there who actually TRY to ascribe to the *stereotypes* of being gay or lesbian becuase they think thats how it is supposed to be. Thats sad.

The Olympic's being done doesn't really bother me, I never watched them anyway; never do. TV really ain't a big part of my life either, I watch maybe a handful of seasonal shows, but I can take or leave any of them lol and deffinatly don't do reality or sitcoms.

I'm far from generous Young Sage. I'm just an addict for feedback. I love getting in both the review and my threads so I figure why not do the same for the authors I read? Shawn is a drama queen but it fits.

It's coming Drewbie, no worries, not much longer. I promise.

Hey All, Its a bit later in the day then I planned but the fifth chapter of Indiana Summer is up in the efiction section. I hope you all enjoy it, and as always I'd love to get your thoughts. Indiana Summer Ch 5

Thank you SO much for posting this link, I loved this show as a kid. Watching this show is actually what got me interested in Shakespear, A Midsummer Nights Dream and Macbeth are my favorites lol. Lol Bronx did rock, he had that bit lovable mutt quality to him. My favorites though were Lexington *the nerdy green one* and Hudson *the OLD one*

The most recent chapter was very nice Young Sage. I really like the kind/mean dynamic you have going with Anthony, it builts great tension/anticipation. I liked the scene with Shawn and his mother, it was very real, a lot of scenes i've read along those lines are always missing some element of depth, yours worked really well. Best Wishes, NightOwl

The first two chapters are great Shatterheart. I love how you blend Occult/Myth with modern Sci-Fi, really looking forword to this story. BEst wishes, NightOwl
