  1. I was just reading a story called "Colorado Game" by Andr0gene on DaBeagle's site. And it's not finished although I was told by a friend that it was finished. So I guess they just never updated the last chapters. The problem is when I googled it, it was only on one other site called the Rainbow Community Writing Project. And that website is down now. Anyone have a saved copy or know if there are alternate sites where I can find it? The last thing I read was a cliffhanger... AHHHHHHHHH!!!!
  2. Nothing occurs to me immediately. But I do remember the one movie that did inspire pure terror was Twister. I was about 6-7 when I saw it. And that very night a very dark cloud rolled in and it started to hail, and I was convinced a tornado was about to land on my house. Despite how very very rare tornadoes are in Maryland. As for actual horror movies, I generally avoid them because I'm a scaredy cat. But I do remember being really freaked out while watching The Shining and he was trying to get through the bathroom door.
  3. I just spent the day devouring all of Paul Sung's stories on Nifty and there is one that got off to a great start but isn't complete. It's called Prison Break. Does anyone know anything more about this story? If Paul wrote any more? Because I checked the link to his site in the story and the website is down. Considering it looks like it was written in 2003, I guess that's not surprising, though.
  4. Good point. But you really shouldn't be telling the competition why they should be interested.
  5. South Dakota? Oh, nvm.
  6. Thank you! I can't believe it didn't occur to me to just search nifty. Edit: I looked at him on Nifty - Prolific Authors and found a story called Dear Enemy... So good!!!
  7. Cute and rich... Must find where he lives
  8. Sum 41 - In Too Deep You have no idea how much I enjoyed this video when I was 13-14.
  9. Could anyone help me find a story? My friend wants me to read it but he deleted a bunch of stuff from his hard drive and the short story went along with it. I thought I'd ask you guys if you've ever read it to see if you could help us find it. It's called "The Ex-Boyfriend" and it's a short story. It's about a bookworm type guy who falls in love with an ex-marine and the dumps him after he finds him having sex with a guy from a club after they had an argument. And the short story chronicles the marine (Alexander Verga[?]) and his attempts to get his boyfriend to forgive him. Thanks
  10. Yeah he's great! I just spent the night reading New To This State by Ardveche and I loved every second of it. His writing and character development are sublime. He knows how to write love.
  11. Just finished reading The Copier Guy. Amazingly sweet little story. Loved it!
  12. A bit late, but still... HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
  13. Cohen is selling a movie, Eminem is selling a new album. Of course they want it to look real. Controversy sells. And it worked, we're talking about it right now aren't we?
  14. It was way too perfectly choreographed for Eminem to not have been on it. If he was really mad, those big black guys would have ripped Sacha's balls off. They were 'pretend' roughing him up. Watch it again, you can tell. Also did you know that Eminem is the top selling artist of the 2000's? Over 30 million albums.
  15. Currently reading Vlista - Chase. Vlista sure knows how to rip out your heart and stomp on it, then put it back and sew you up with a smile. K, I'll check your stuff out.
  16. Currently reading "Desert Dropping" by Dom Luka, at the urging of lots of people in the chatroom. It's great!
  17. Just read a bit of Somewhere Over the Blue. Nice story. BasStKid, Glomph & Krista, thanks for the recommendations.
  18. Yeah I'm in there now. Come join us!
  19. Yay for Rob Thomas! I knew there was a reason I liked his music.
  20. I do find it highly suspicious. I read earlier articles alleging that they were giving out phones to anyone at the party so they could cast power votes (10 votes at the click of one button). Probably as a promotion for a new phone. And once the company realized how much of an impact that actually had, they're now trying to downplay it. Note it went from them 'giving them out' to a 'few employees' brought along a 'few phones' in the official statement. This combined with the story that got out about how 20% of the votes came from Arkansas (allegedly 38 million of the 100 million votes cast), and I wouldn't be surprised if those text votes absolutely made the difference. Think about it, at the click of a single button, a person at one of those parties got the voting power of 10 regular voters. And considering how close they said it was, and the fact that they were doing this for FREE... Smells fishy to me. In the end it depends on the functionality of the phone. And the amount they were really handed out. Let's say through all the parties they gave them out at, they gave out 100 phones. It really depends on the speed at which you could cast votes with the phones. If it was a button mash and you could cast 10 votes every 5 seconds... 1000 votes per minute... You could reach upwards of 60,000 votes per hour on a SINGLE phone! And if they gave out 100 phones, that's 6 million potential votes that could have been cast by the very dedicated Kris Allen fans who showed up to those parties. Note: All of these numbers are completely speculative and have no actual foundation in fact, I was just attempting to demonstrate the potential effect that those phones might have had, depending on the quantity in which they were given out and the speed in which the phone cast votes.
  21. I can ride my bike with no handlebars That's not my name!
  22. I liked that. Make sure to let us know when you write more, I'm anxious to keep reading other stuff of yours.
