I sympathize with Linxe and Nephylim on this. Whenever I think of a story its like watching a movie in my head. Dialogue is where I need inspiration the most, I'm constantly worried that I'm either explaining things too much or too little, or that my word choices for a character are un-realistic or if they go against that Characters, well character lol.

Hmm, its been a long year... A lot of great things happened to me this year. I got to spend time taking care of my 2nd cousins, We moved into a better house, and I came here to GA. Eath of those things may seem insignificant but in reality they were huge. I got to spend time with my cousins because come next year I most likly wont seem them as often, Our old house was a death trap, and coming to GA has been amazing, I've made new friends, found a palce to post my work where I can get real feedback, and found some truely kick ass writers and people. I agree with you though Prince that the thing I would do differently was pack more education into my year, if I ahd been a bit more attentive I would already have gotten my Diploma. Reading...wow I have read so much good stuff here on GA its impossible to narrow it down. I haven't really read anything terrible, I mean the obits are sad but we all die. A lot of good music has come out this year, Reba, Brad Paisly, Brooks and Dunn, Montgomery Gentry, and Rascal Flatts have all put out some great work this yea, so have a lot of the other artists I listen to but these guys are my favs. No terrible music that I can come up with though. And liek you again what friends I have we have managed to make it another year, and I've made a bunch of new ones too, all acredited to this place.

I've never had it with sweetcorn but BBQ Chicken with Mushroom, peppers, and onion is amazing lol

You all have said some really great stuff here, so much so that I find myself at a bit of a loss for something to say myself, but of course I will give it a shot. My experiance with *Local* Christianity was mixed so I'll stay away from it here as i don't want to inadvertantly taint the topic with my negativity. I call myself a Wiccan but in reality I'm more of a Spiritualist, I love to study and learn about other Faiths. Most religions at their core teach three things. Reverance to God Personal Enlightenment Acceptance for Others In my opinion two out of three of these are vital to human existance (if you don't belive in a God/Goddess thats your right). There are too many people walking around out there that are lost and unfulfilled and just full of anger and hate. Religion isn't the only way to solve these problems but I know for me a it was a big step. Learning about Reincarnation helped me to understand and accept other religions and their point of view, after all i may be among them one day. Having always been a tree huger finding a religion that places Reverance on nature was not only a very validating thing for me, but also helped me to learn that being myself is alright, that the only person I have to change for is me, which made me want to be better. You can't make a difference in this world unless you have some semblance of peace with yourself. Like I said Religion (and certainly Wicca) aren't the only way to find that peace but it can help. Maybe I've rambled a bit or got off topic, if so I appologize. BEst WIshes. NightOwl

Happy birthday mate, and many many more.

I was flicking through the radio the other day and I found another song I could add to my list. "When I get where I'm going" Is a duet of Brad paisley and Dolly Parton, that makes me cry, but in a good way.

I can agree with Prince on this one. I mean yea what program is gonna make you a better person, but a lot of the stuff they have on during the holidays can be uplifiting. It can help to take your mind of the day to day grind and the tragedy and what not. In short it can make you smile, at least for a bit. Other then that I think the list is pretty solid.

The first and fifth on your list are the only ones from it I have seen, I think. I don't really have any favorite Christmas movies, I'm still a sucker for Rudolph and Frosty though lol.

Some could consider that arrogant. I mean how can you presume to write a Vampire themed book and just toss out DECADES worth of history and lore. I mean it doesn't really make any difference to me, I don't do Vamps, but still.

Hey Cia. I have to say that i really loved this chapter. It was very intense the way that you painted Bel'locs pain over Caleum's poisoning was very touching. The aspects of the culture that you've introduced and hinted at is also very very interesting. I look forward to learning more about it; especially the Shevan lol. Great chapter adn wonderful story. NightOwl.

Insert my usual appologies here lol. Seems Mass replies are the only way I can get things done.... Good to See you again GoWithIt, glad your here. I am glad that you are liking the story, and even more glad that I've sparked your interest. I admit to not knowing a lot about ASL when I started writing this story but it is one of the reason i have started to learn lol. I am not sure if handcuff, ice cubes or kinky have signs but if they do please be sure to tell us what they are lol. Also don't get in trouble on those library pcs lol, naughty naughty. Cia, so good to see you again. I'm glad that you like the story. It is a curious fact about two girls hitting hard on the disabled guys. I have a few friends with similer disabilities who have told me they get a lot fo attention not because they are disabled but because it seems to give them an aire of innocences or vulnerablity. Though I found it kind of dubious I thought I would add it in as a sub plot. I hope it worked well. I am glad that you agree with the quick progression in intimacy, it just seemed a logical course of action lol. Hello Nephylim, a pleasure to see you again, as always. I liked the idea too, I might also considering using it someday lol, if that is ok with the two of you of course. I am glad that you liked the chapter, I try to make my *heros* loveable and interesting lol. I'm not sure if handcuffs will come into play but hey...you never know THANKS to you all for visiting the forum and leaving me your thoughts, I really appreciate it; I look forward to this everytime I post a chapter lol. Love and best Wishes to you all. Nightowl

There really aren't too many Celebs that I'd go in for but I have managed to come up with three lol. For my reasons, well they're mainly sexual, sue me lol. Micheal Grant Terry is my first choice for the simple fact I like his scruffy looks lol. George Clooney Has to come in at number two, I've had a thing for him since Batman and Robin, and maybe it me but he just gets better looking with age lol Sean Murry caps off my list lol. More so his charceter in NCIS then anything else, smart, cute, funny, carries a gun and just SOOOO innocent looking. Yea I could have fun with McGee. P.S I would have post the pics themselves but I don't know how.

I've been told that a few times Nephylim but I can't do that lol, I hate to come into something and not know the beginning of it, I'd have to watch Twilight for the history. Yes, i think its great lol.

lol sorry bout the late welcome, I hope you'll enjoy your time here.

Hmm I dunno if I could have allowed that or not CIA lol, I'm too hooked

Hey all. Its a bit late but I wanted to let yall know that Lovers Blind ch05 is up in the files section. Follow the link below. hope you like, and look forward to hearing from you. Lovers Blind 05

HEY CIA I FINALLY have time to pop in and leave my thoughts. I LOVE this story. The plot line is what drew me in first, followed by the character complexities and the way you have so far described Tribal existence is very interesting; I'd love for a more in-depth look into the culture you've created. If you have anymore inner doubts about your work you can dispell them, this is a great story, interesting, in-depth, and makes you think a bit lol. Best Wishes. NightOwl

Hmm, I really don't have any right to be in here, having never read the books or watched the movies; but I couldn't resist popping in lol. From little I've heard of either book or movie has at best been mixed between the greatest thing ever made or drivel that should only be used for fire kindling, there doesn't seem too be much middle ground lol. Likely as not I'll end watching the movies and reading books, just to see what all the fuss is about. I don't think I'll enjoy it too much though. From what I've seen so far its more Vamp Oriented(I could be wrong), and I've always liked Werewolves better lol.

Happy Thanksgiving all, hope yall's days were as nice as mine.

My family and I ahve only ever done the dreaded Black Friday sales once, and I'd love to do it again. Sadly though I'm broker then three jokes lol. I might go with my cousin, just watch folks fall over themselves.

I know a few different superstitions, basic ones mostly. Broken Mirror (can be lucky if your magically inclined) checking the window if a black cat cross infront of your car, and Owl or Crow nesting in a tree means that the owner of the property the tree is on will die suddenly, opening an umbrella in the house brings misfortune, salt over the left shoulder to ward off evil. I know lots mroe but I can't think of them right now.

I've always loved Christmas myself. I go to sepdn Christmas Eve with my dad and his family. Its pretty cool, it means having to see my brother but that fact is redeemed by getting to see my aunt Jill and my Grandma, the two members of the family I get along most with. Its a small affair, only a few hours, but its nice. We have dinner and open gifts, sit and talk, its nice. Christmas with my moms family though is a little hectic. The entire side of my Mom's family that comes comprises around 20 some people with half that being kids under the age of 12. Its an all day event, we all get to my aunts around noon, have lunch, play board games, open gifts, play more games have supper and go home. I love the holidays cause its the only way that my entire family gets together in one place.

Hello David. I have to say that I really enjoyed the last two chapters of this story. The final chapter was very powerful where emotion is concerned. Thorby's death was especially tragic... Having said that I must also say I willmiss this story for some time, I grew rather attached to Ulee and Ian.

Congradulations dude,

Hey Nephylim, I just wanted to say congrats. I've only read a little of your work but hon it's great, you deserve the promotion. Keep up the kicking work, Best Wishes, NightOwl
