By Ricky...
Uff, I'm already looking forward to reading next chapter. This one dragged me in and never let me out until I finished reading it.
I wonder where the experience (of the author) comes from. Something personal? Wild imagination (if so, it really seems genuine)?
Timmy, was there any commentary from the author? When do you expect next chapter? Will they appear regularly?

I have 7 chapters in total, though he thinks there are 8. So I am checking with him. They'll appear in the rolling update schedule over the next couple of weeks.

I think there may be more to come after these. Not totally sure.

Now the tale IS on Nifty, but I think the chapters he has sent to me differ quite widely from the Nifty version.

I have to agree with Marek, I'm writing 'William 17' when the email arrived so took a break and git pulled in almost instantly. I very much like it and have e-mailed the author to say so.

Well, I await every single part of William and Lost and Found at the moment. Somehow couldn't manage to read Minky so far, but I'll get there...

Hi All,
I am so thrilled to be posted here and to have the great things said about my story from the best of the best humbles me greatly.I guess We need a happy blushing happy face emoticon here.

There are indeed 7 chapters so far, not eight. nothing beyond 4 has been edited yet however so it still reads like I wrote it. It will be the same version as on Nifty as I am too busy to write separate versions, nor would I think it wise to do so. I have enough trouble keeping track of one version. I do have in mind a lot more in the way of adventures for the boys.

I had the opportunity to work with some blind kids in my youth. I always found their lives to be interesting. I also have two readers who have identified themselves as blind. They are now my advisors. They wrote to praise the light that I added to their darkness. We will have some adventures where Jamie will get to try further dark experiments. In fact I am so stoked with their suggestion I think they will begin some of the experiments just as soon as they get out of the hosp. . . ooops. I almost tipped a secret.

Thanks again for the emails and I will be here more often as I have always wanted to see what being "self impressed" felt like. So far, it's uncomfortable. lol
Cheers.
Ricky

Dear Marek,

I feel (I think) as you do. What willl happen next? I hate the suspense and would prefer not to begin reading if the story isn't complete. It's you and Michael that persuaded me this time and I'm already regretting it.

How can I last until I get some more satisfaction? I think you owe me one!

Love,
Anthony

These days I make a point of not reading a serialised story until it's complete. Sorry, Paul, I won't be looking at 'Minky's World' yet.

Well damnit. I guess I'll just have to make the next one the last chapter then. The boys become dragon bait and the Baron wins... the end!::-)

So if James gets goosebumps while they are under the covers, will Miles read him like a brail book? ;-D

Waiting for chapter two... hurry up mister.

Well yes I think that does happen but I think gooseflesh always repeats the same phrase.

I'm cold why did you take my feathers?

Of course translated from goose talk that comes out in braille as "Make love to me."

second is coming I am sure.
Thanks so much. I wish I could find the right words to say how I feel about this wonderful reception. Fear not. I have 80 pages written and I am working on more in the morning. For both stories.

Looking forward...

Sometimes I pity myself that I am not an English native speaker, my stories would probably look lame and imperfect in language. Sometimes I envy you...(all the writers). And not enough time at the moment anyway...

On the other hand, I'm a dedicated reader and since I found iomfats.org the number of "normal" books has somewhat decreased... Smile

Well, Marek,
if you ever feel you want to try, you need an editor. I am an editor and would be glad to help. English is my native language and I yield to no-one on that front!

Love,
Anthony
