    Any new stories worth a damn?

    No, Ash/Superman/ characters, No gratuitous/OTT gore stuff. No supernatural stuff.

    And....... GO!

    You know, for a guy that only hangs about in order to read the fiction, you sure have a funny way of expressing appreciation for the effort that the authors on site put into providing you with endless free entertainment. (Although it's nice to see you haven't changed a lick since the LOOM forums )

    Of course, and again, if you were a subscribed member, you could read a general summary of each newly posted story... add that to the fact that Neil has them catagorized by genre... and you'd probably be able to find something to your liking with little trouble.

    And........KISS IT!

    Forgive my ignorance, but isn't that the point of posting fiction ? To be read? And you're wrong, I also hang out here to get news about any Living Dead events/movies/books/whatever

    And it's not really 'endless' free entertainment, but I'm not going to start that whole bitchfest again.

    That would be nice, but I'd rather spend my money on CD's, books, drugs, etc. I have a hard time rationalizing paying money for something that can only be accessed by computer.

    Plus, even a summary wouldn't tell much about the style of the story, or any specifics.

    And........KISS IT!

    You really know how to make a person feel at home.

    I think DP's sentiment comes from the fact your comment can be read such that it trivialises a lot of work/effort.

    Authors spend a lot of time working on contributions, whether you appreciate them or not.

    I think you need to ensure you pay the respect that is due to any of the authors who have committed their time, to your enjoyment.
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    Well, if you want to put what I was trying to say into level-headed, intelligent and thought-out terms...then, yeah, Neil got it right.

    Well, to give a serious answer. I just read "A Day at Work" in the fiction section a couple of weeks ago and loved it. If you haven't read it yet, do so.

    there are a lot of really great fic pieces here

    i will wait for you forever is one that i find amazing

    it didnt get the highest ratings by others but i really liked it

    there are others that i liked that are not here anymore so i will have to go and look for others for you

    read the dark night ones-dont write them off so quickly

    you would be doing yourself sa disservice

    but i will post some others as i go thru them

    I certainly agree with this gentlemen. Bodysnatchers stories by Rob Morganbesser are in my humble opinion the best stories out there ( all 24 of them ). Next to that the story which holds my most respect right next to the bodysnatchers ones is the story Neil wrote, i sadly have forgotten it's name buti still know how that wonderfull story goes. I must say i believe u have to be a subscribed member to read those but IMO it is certainly worth it. I bought a membership, or atleast i had a friend of mine buy it for me since i can't pay online but that membership is now very sadly over and ican't get anyone to pay again :P

    Anyway that was a little of topic , i apologise , but seeing as Deadpunk said "welcome back" and those are really old stories u probably have read them already.

    So those stories, ow and the one deadpunk wrote : "About Men and Mice" ? or something like that i am very sorry deadpunk i can't remember correctly, it is about a man who travels with a metally-not-so-ok child ( for lack of a better word, i am not english speaking of nature but dutch ) and arrives at a camp with people there and ... well you will have to read the rest , i will certainly not spoil it, but i can assure you that is also one of the best stories on the site.

    Glad you enjoyed one of my contributions so much... I assume it was either:-
    Testament?
    or
    The Midas Touch?
