    Chapter 1

    WOW that was some start. Quite a few shocks in there I like Andrew and I think Elizabeth is AWESOME The end bit is really shocking. I am hoping it was a dream. I mean, would he really have taken that bag into school... with that stuff inside; and would he really have gone to put it in the bin. God I hope it was a dream One note of caution. You mix your tenses quite a bit. Need to look over that and keep it in mind in future.

    That's very chilling. The whole scenario is very imaginative and not too far beyond the bounds of possiblity to make it comfortable to think about. I like the characters and the flow. My only criticism is that you confuse the tenses. Get an editor to look at it and you'll be sweet.
  3. Actually, I wish that Rover was still here. I feel awkward and I don’t know what to do. Ummm. “It’s okay, Felix; he’s gone. You’re safe; there’s only me.” Slowly he lifts his head to look at me. “Safe? I don’t feel safe.” I wonder if he can see me blush. “I’m sorry, but you keep running.” “And you keep catching me.” “It’s not safe out there for us.” “It’s not safe here for me.” “Well, I know it doesn’t feel like that. It didn’t feel like that for me in the beginning; but you get used to it

  7. I wouldn't worry about the reviews issue. Take a look at other authors. Some of my read counts run into thousands with only a couple of reviews. Simple fact... most people don't review If it's a comment on your work then I'm screwed
  8. Thank you darlings. Things are pootling along fine Thank you for the birthday wish. I have been incredibly lucky that people have missed it and came in afterwards so I have felt the love for almost a week. YAY. Thanks for giving me another day
  9. WOW, that surreal. It sounded like the lyrics of a song.
  10. It's not only straight people who can be assholes. Gay guys can be just as obnoxious as straight ones.
  11. Go on... be brave... change your profile Ooops I haven't either... off I go. And let me tell you Mr that you are NOT ALLOWED to be old or feel old. I am almost a decade older and I'm not
  12. Happy birthday, O wild one Have some cake
  13. Woo hoo, even more smiling. It's great to have birthay wishes on my birthday but just as great to have it late becaue then I get to smile on more than one day. Thanks guys
  14. I agree with Krista that you can't 'lump them all together' At that age people are exploring the sexuality all the time. Also, as Krista says, saying you're bisexual is 'easier' than 'going all the way' to admitting you're gay. I think, therefore that sometimes people will say they're bisexual and then go on to acknowledge to themselves and others that they are, in fact, gay. It isn't a matter of choice it's a matter of courage, or even of a deeper understanding of what feelings mean and how they define themselves. Nothing is clear at that age and minds change all the time. On the other hand I also think that being gay is becoming 'fashionable' in some circles and it can be another form of rebellion. I would hesitate to say that anyone says they're gay just because they want attention or are trying to be 'cool' or whatever; maybe they do but I think that even if that's the case they are still exploring, still questioning and not entirely sure about what they are and what they want to be.

    NaNoWriMo

    Closing count today 26,419. I'm writing an average of 2300 ish words a day and today i wrote 5100. I need to write just over 1040 words a day to finish on time. I am scheduled to finish on 17th November. I have some stuff coming up so I think that there will be times when i won't be writing this manically and I will be getting to point in the story soon that won't be as gripping so, yeah, I think I will for sure finish before the end of November but I want to finish the story by then if I possibly can and it's looking to be at least 75k so I need to write write write

    NaNoWriMo

    So, I have decided to do NaNo again this year. My last effort Death By Dreaming turned out pretty well so let's see with this one. Thanks to Maria for forcing me to wait for two days before starting even though my head was bursting with ideas, so I started on November 1st like a good girl. So. I have the whole thing planned out... as much as I ever do, although I doubt that I will be sticking to it; I never do. The characters are pretty wild this time and there's a lot of action, Some of the character are Darcy a 1000 year old vampire Skye a 'human'? with pink and blue hair he wears in a long thick plait. Darcy thinks he dyes it. Raven, a shapeshifter who changes into a... crow (delusions of grandeur) Nexus, a shapeshifter who changes into a snake There is also a squirrel who throws nuts. Darcy unwittingly gets caught up in a war between two sets of creatures he had no idea even existed and has to fight to bring the rest of the vampire world into a war that they show very little interest in because they are unlikely to get any real benefit out. Darcy has to mesh together armies of vampires, shapeshifters (weres), fey and assorted rag tags (of exactly the right kind to drive vampires insane with frustration). He also has to hold it together enough to head a daring mission to rescue his captured love... oops, sorry... I meant the person he most certainly doesn't love, before he becomes one of the first casulaties of the war. So far it is day 9 and I have 23,379 words. According to the stats, if I write 1400 words a day I will finish on 18th November so I have a bit of leeway there. So anyway, I see that others are competing and blogging (and yeah, of course I copied your ides about blogging it, Lugh ) but I would like to remind everyone that the only thing we are competing against is ourselves. This is not a competition of who writes the most words or finishes first. Just as well eh? Coz I know I would win
  17. It’s so nice here; so comfortable; so warm. I’m purring, cuddling into Sar’s side; still wrapped in the blanket which Sar wrapped round me when he carried me from the car. Sar is stroking my shoulder and I am perfectly content. I’m falling towards sleep again. “You know I have to go.” “No, oh no please. Please stay.” I am wide awake now, giving him the full force of my eyes. Sar props himself up on one arm and strokes my face. Mmm that feels good. “Glory,” he says sadly and I try to turn away
  18. Thank you hun. I love your rainbow
  19. Well... I thought it was very interesting.
  20. Thank you both. It's nice to have something to smile about on the day after
  21. Ah heck. So Kaleb's gone and got his own place. Presumably he's going to try to get Lily there and goodness knows what's going to happen then. Oh, you are cruel. We're seeing a new side of Kayleb that I really like; the strong independent one, but he and Chase are just so damn GOOD together
  22. Thank you so much for your review. I'm glad you liked the story. I certainly think that Cy found release at the end. Both of them have their histories and they have their futures and both of them are changed. I am thinking of maybe exploring the futures at some time in the future but too many projects to think of that right now. Anyway, thanks again for the review and for reading my story
  23. That's BEAUTIFUL, Cia. Is it one of yours?
  24. Thank you thank you. Glad you enjoyed the cake. Birthday hugs all round
