Hi My name is Stephen and I found this wonderful site by accident since last Thursday, I'm now reading ¨Chris and Nigel¨ I just finished reading book 2, chapter 12. By the way this is my favorite chapter so far. I intend to read other stories as well. I love reading, and this site gives me the opportunity to read many goodies.
Did I tell you I love this site? LOL

Hi Andy, I'm glad I'm not the only one who loves it.
As for my age, I'm 42. Unfortunately, I'm old enough to be your father. LOL

Welcome aboard the board, Stephen. We're all family here, after a fashion, so you should find out rather quickly that we're fairly easy to get along with. Yeah, Timmy's masterpiece is one of my favorites too, but don't overlook Into the Lion's Den and Just Hit Send. Those are some powerful stories there. Keep your eyes peeled, too, because the Summer Competition stories should be coming in soon, so we'll be flooded with new authors and new stories.

So c'mon in, take your shoes off and sit a while.

It's hard, welcoming new people here. I sometimes miss, and then people get offended. But everyone is welcome, by default.

I want, soon, to continue Chris and Nigel, bt the urgency has gone out of it. I am nearly whole, now, and the therapy the writing provided is not so urgent. And yet I am told they are valuable. So continue I shall, when I can get it right in my head.

That was partly the reason whyother tales appeared here. So many authors far better than I will ever be, and only showcased in poor collections of work. So I choose at a whim whom to include here. And not all of their works by any means

Well, not all of them are poor representations....



Life is great for me... Most of the time... But then I meet people online... Very few are real friends... Many say they are but know nothing of what it means... Some say they are, but are so shallow...

Ah no. By no means all. But the two I am thinking of most assuredly are graveyards for good and bad work alike. And yet THEY are the places that bring people to the better places. A paradox.

Now, lets get the GWG firing on all cylinders! You have my emotional support, but I can commit no real time.

Queer as Folk, I've seen the UK version in 2000 and I found it brilliant. I'm now watching the USA version, so far it has three season opposite the UK which they have two, although the second season only lasted 2 hours or so. The USA is now working on season four.

Well, I just finished reading book two. Funny, there is a song going on in my head when I start reading about Chris and Nigel, ¨Beautiful¨ by Christina Aguilera. In fact, if ever there was to be a TV series about Chris and Nigel, it should be the main title.

I am reminded of the T Shirt "Britney sucks, Christine swallows". But serously, I have music in my head, too. It starts as "Hello" by Lionel Ritchie, with Nigel doing the singing. And all the rest is soppy love songs. The "Ghost" theme, sung well. Unchained Melody. That is what I almost always visualise. Or do I audialise.

Mind you, having seen the movie with "Hello" in it, I went off the song more than somewhat.
