What? Huh? Who?

Drop us a note when you can GW. Good luck, and don't worry, the CC's only yell at you because they love you. You'll find the love everybody. 

Well, I signed up for FanStory. I think you're wrong about it being free, as even after building up a ton of points through grinding reviews, I still couldn't figure out how to post my story without upgrading my membership.

Never got a response back from the other site. Oh well.

You're right about needing to be a premier member at FanStory and not being able to use the site credits for it. I don't remember doing that but I guess I must have as I did once have stories there. They say the memory is the first thing to go, but I don't remember who they are.

Ah, well. I still have the reviewers at fwo. By the way, keep checking your e-mails (junk also) for their reply. They can be a bit slow at times.

Hmmm. I'll have to look more closely at that site, again. It may have changed since the last time I posted a story there (2009). At that time I was able to use my reviewer points to post stories.

I'm sorry if that has changed. I didn't mean to mislead you. 

Also, FanStory seems to be down at the moment. When it comes back on I'll take a look at and review the story.

I find myself stuck on the lickity Avon Lady, for some reason. 

Or possible a little compact? A 'Mirror to the Soul' sort of thing?

Or maybe a Lady Death. Perhaps a female mortician who also sells cosmetic products door-to-door for that last minute touch-up. I wonder what she'd use in place of a scythe. Hmmm.

I have a couple title ideas for Xyxyx vol. 5 but no specific story inspirations, yet. Tentative titles . . .

Part 10 - In the Land of Canon
Part 11 - The Horse of Babylon

____________________

On the other project, it's based on an old NaNoWriMo entry I did in 2004 (I may have mentioned this). I am updating and adding to the story, but I think I may encounter a problem.

WhenI wrote this story I had never read any of the Discworld books (it was one one my reviewers who mentioned this story reminded them of Terry Pratchett, which made me go read his books, and now he's on my list of all-time favorite authors).

Anyway, this story also has a Death character. At first it was just a one-off pun about Death lurking behind every door, and then a door opened and Death was there. That was going to be the end of it, but, as the story went on, doors were unavoidable and Death kept popping up. At one point there is a door, all by itself, in the middle of a prairie.

So the Death guy gradually became part of the story, but I'm afraid no one is going to believe I made him up before I knew about Discworld. Hell, if someone else was telling me this I'd be hard-pressed to believe them.

If I remove the Death character, however, I lose a germaine (and fun) bit of the story.

This is my dilemma.   

Thank you. 

There won't be any more story changes, though I may still correct typos as I find them. I must have proof-read these things a hundred times, but I still find typos whenever I re-read them.    But this was always an experiment right from the start.

I wondered if an author could get away with talking directly to the readers in the middle of a description. It may be distracting, and maybe even annoying to the reader, but it sure is fun for me.
