Frankly, I'm not surprised. Most of the time I'm nice, but in that "I'll do nice things but I refuse to sound sweet" way. And when I'm feeling downright evil, it would be wise to avoid getting on my bad side. Or maybe I got that result because I'm Americanadian instead of pure Canadian.

Don't watch sports, don't play sports, Super Bowl means nothing to me. Frankly, I'm getting swamped with papers again and there's way too much work to do elsewhere. I think I'll just take advantage of the Super Bowl deals floating around and order discount-price pizza to munch on while I do my work. Well, if I can get pizza at a much lower price, then I suppose Super Bowl does mean something to me after all.

If it reads "WARNING: Long post ahead. Beware of green font.", then I changed the title myself. I honestly think that people need that warning before reading my average post.

I'm not in the mood to molest your son. I'm looking for a little lesbian action right now, and he doesn't tickle that fancy. Plus I wouldn't want you and his mother to slap a statutory rape charge on me despite the fact that I'm only 2 years older than him. As for hair dye, he tried to use a spray-on, didn't he? Spray-ons are the hardest to use if you're attempting to dye your own hair. Mousse is the easiest to use, but make sure you're wearing gloves. The thing about mousse is that you can scoop it onto your fingers then run it through your hair. If you're mixing a liquid dye to form a creme, then you're supposed to brush it in because it'll run off plastic and thin out rubber in the long run. Your son has short hair and he attempted to dye it blue. The brush method isn't that great for short hair because it's more likely to get on the scalp. As it is, the liquid-creme combination is more typical in average hair-color dyes. Colors like blue are available either in a spray or mousse. Sprays are cheaper and they're easier to store, but mousse is easier to apply, lasts longer, and is less likely to wash out in water alone (like running onto your collar in the rain). I help my mom dye her graying roots, have dyed my own hair purple once, and highlight my friend's hair once in a while. I also put green streaks in my hair on Saint Patrick's day once in a while (though people ask me why - I have dark red hair and that's Irish enough). So yeah, I know plenty about this kind of thing. Too bad my advice came too late.

It's been a long time since Lady_DiMera has updated. Around early 2006 actually, before the crash. I don't think she'll be aware of the new chapter, and I don't think she's read the later reviews. It's been a long time since I've read the fic (I just searched for the title and linked it when the summary matched the one in my memory). I'll have to read it again before reviewing and commenting on your chapter and how it goes with the rest of the fic. I'm glad you liked the fic.

Have you thought about re-selling the name tags back to the IBStore? Each item in your inventory has a re-sell link next to it. You'll lose some points overall because the re-sell price is lower than the buying price, but it is the most effective way to get rid of the name tags. If you still want to give them out (you're a charitable guy), then go ahead. FREE NAME TAGS! GET YOUR FREE NAME TAGS HERE! IF YOU HAVE LESS THAN 200 POSTS TO YOUR NAME, THEY'RE A REAL STEAL! There. How's that for advertising?

You know what? This challenge reminds me of a fic I read a long time ago called Monster's Mate. Basically, this guy kills a beautiful woman in Romania, resurrects her, and rents her out as a prostitute to famous monsters all over the world. Part of his experiment is mating her with a Frankenstein-like monster with a doomcock he had created previously to see if the two could procreate. He's a mad scientist who dabbled in an insane experiment for the sake of profit. He doesn't care about the fact that monsters need love - he wants money and monsters are willing to shell out the bucks for a good lay. It's one of the best-written stories I've ever read. Even though it's mostly sex, the author takes the time to develop the main characters, managing to give each monster an actual personality even if they're mentioned only in one chapter. Lots of porn, lots of plot. And a mad scientist who performs mad science for his own selfish reasons, not under any delusions of helping someone else. I know, I know. It only fits one criterion. No population's put in danger, no society opposes the mad scientist. Honestly, the mad scientist isn't the main focal point in the fic, but judging from the challenge, I think you'd like this fic.

Phone thief repents after 21 text messages Instead of calling the police, panicking, or blaming the degeneration of society, this woman chose to be nice to the thief who stole her purse. The result: he returned everything with an apology note promising to reform because of her kindness and tolerance. This woman is a middle-school teacher. One thing for sure, she must be an amazing teacher to have accomplished the feat that she did. If only there were more people like her out there...

The legal drinking age in the Netherlands is 16 if the alcoholic content is under 22%. If it's 22% or over, you need to be 18. There is no minimum age requirement if you drink in private with a parent/guardian present. 21 is the maximum ever stated, and it's in very few countries. So really, the dog could be a newborn pup and drink the beer in Amsterdam, as long as its' owner is there. Maybe the beer is non-alcoholic because Berenden wants to steer clear of any animal-rights activists that may be lurking nearby. If I had a dog and I wanted to give it a nice cool beverage, I'd give it a nice dish of cold water. Maybe I'd give it milk, lemonade, or iced tea. But I would never waste money on alcohol-free beer (if I did like beer) for myself, so why on earth would I do so for my pets (if I had any)?

I think what it comes down to is that everyone has different personal tastes when it comes to potential partners. Avery prefers more "feminine" men, and that's perfectly fine. However, there are plenty of cases where the type of men someone fantasizes about is different from the type of men that same someone would actually want to be with. Same applies to types of women. I'm a bisexual female who reads slash. I have yet to post any slash, but it may happen in the future. Like Agaib, I like to keep my men separate from my women. I want women who are women and men who are men. Then again, there are degrees of "femininity" that I find acceptable or even attractive in men. First of all, let's distinguish between "feminine" and "effeminate". The girly-boy stereotype in slash fiction is considered "effeminate", and can often be ridiculous. "Feminine" means that the guy possesses certain qualities that are stereotypical of a woman, but doesn't go overboard with it. Effeminate men are a sexual turn-off for me. Men who aren't afraid of expressing their "feminine" qualities are actually appealing, so long as they don't go girly on me. If he's not embarrassed to cry in front of me, if he's not afraid to admit that he cares about what he wears, if he's not afraid to watch a chick flick and admit that he actually liked it (only if he really did), then I just may be interested in him. If he cries often, if he's obsessed with his appearance, and if he can't stand a gory action flick (featuring vampires of course), then I suggest he look elsewhere. To be more clear about it, I find metrosexual men very attractive, but from a sexual stand point, I can't stand a girly-boy (though I do have friends who are). I do prefer a baritone, but I don't mind a middle tone. I can't stand guys who sound falsetto, or who have squeaky/nasal tones in their voices. Rough/husky is OK with me. I won't complain about a guy's height provided he's taller than me (shouldn't be that hard - I'm only 5'2"). I don't like long hair but longish hair can work on a lot of guys, provided it doesn't cover their eyes or goes past their neck. I don't think I'd ever date a trans. I'm not attracted to overly "masculine" straight men either. It's not an issue because they're not attracted to my personality. These men are a bit obsessed with adhering to the masculine stereotype, have homophobia issues, and are so insecure that they refuse to try anything they consider remotely "girly" and won't accept it in other men either. They also have issues dating women who are not meek or submissive, and turn out intelligent and opinionated. The overly masculine gays come off less irritating because the sexual security issues aren't as rampant (though they do have this need to be dominant), and I would definitely consider dating an overly masculine bisexual man. When I read slash fiction, I don't mind men who are on the short side, men who have high voices, or men who have long hair. Hell, I'm pretty tolerant of a male character who possesses all three of these qualities, so long as there's something masculine in their character to balance it out. The thing is, men who look like that exist in real life. I'd have to draw the line at m-preg. Unless it is extremely well-done, I don't want to read it. If the male has a vagina, the author had better make us fully aware of the sex-change operation that occurred previously in the story and give us a transgender/transsexual warning. The really girly gay man does exist in real life, but the trick with writing one is to avoid clichéd stereotypes and insulting people in the process. When you couple a submissive girly-boy with a dominant overly-masculine gay man, you end up promoting negative stereotypes and display a lack of knowledge about homosexuality. I think if I did write an effeminate man, I'd throw in something uncommon about the character just for the sake of realism. Perhaps I'd make him straight, or gay dominant, or he doesn't wear make-up or dresses despite the fact that he knows plenty about them. Perhaps I'd give him a dark edge to make it clear that he's not someone you can easily make fun of or take advantage of. It's all in how well you write the character and the relationship, and how careful you are when working with it. As for males being more effeminate in the future, I doubt that. I think we'll manage to be more sensitive to men who don't comply with the male stereotype, but I think there'll be plenty of men who obviously have testosterone even if they're less fertile. I think the type of man Avery could conceivably be attracted to are the foppish men from old aristocratic Europe. Back then, "foppish" wasn't a slur and I don't mean it as one. You know, the men who were effeminate but straight because it was the "in" thing. So there you go. Someone who's kind of in the middle with a strong attraction to metrosexual men, and a woman who's attracted to both sets of gender qualities.

Michelle Manhart (upper-body shot) from Yahoo! It's not the Playboy photo, but now you know what she looks like. She's got a hot body, but her face is 'meh' and her hair is awful.

Don't worry DA. They always come crawling back... Seriously though, the majority who leave AFF over the smaller issues eventually come back because this is one of the bigger, better, and more renowned sites for adult fanfiction.

That was amazingly and unbelievably fast. I've already unchecked the box in my profile to allow anonymous reviews. Thanks! You guys are on a roll and I hope you manage to keep it up without wearing out yourselves out too much. (and I say "too much" because it's inevitable that you'll wear yourselves out).

This just came to me and it's probably a stupid idea but I just have to mention it. Is there any way that you can make it so that members can log in from the main index page? I realize that in a sense this would relate to re-connecting the archives or combining the different archives onto one member profile page (something that's in the plans anyway). I'm thinking that it may be easier on members if they could log in from the main index page, and have that log-in valid on all the archives, thus allowing them to avoid signing the age verifier every time. Even as I say this I realize how stupid this sounds and how much work it'll take to implement that change. Much more work than simply adding a tracking cookie to the form. Forgive me for this moment of stupidity. You know I'm not usually like this.

Knorg, I'm including you specifically in my dedication because you have figured out what the main sex act is. Just as a joke, I'm also going to mention that I performed this act on you in cyber-life.

I actually had several ideas running around in my head but I obviously had to pick one because of the rules for the writing contest. Now that I've finally picked one, I'm busy writing the fic and it should be up by the 31st. From the sound of things, Knorg and I might end up writing about the same theme.

I guess I can contact some of my regular non-member reviewers and tell them to leave the reviews either on FF.net or on LJ. I understand how trolls can be a nuisance, seeing as how I had to change my e-mail address three times because of it. Still, I can't say I'm happy about this new policy. Meanwhile, good luck on the recoding and let us know when disabling anonymous reviews becomes optional on an individual member basis.

I'm with LemonDrops. The majority of my best reviewers on the site happen to be non-members. I'll be seeing a huge drop in reviews (concrit included) thanks to this new policy. I feel that being able to remove any reviews on your stories yourself when logged in is sufficient against trolls and flamers. There are a huge number of non-members on this site who give valuable reviews to thousands of us, and I don't see why they should be alienated because of a few bad seeds. And believe me, from what I've seen, the number of flamers tends to be relatively low.

Thanks for making me snort chocolate milk out of my nose, Keith! Now I have to clean up the entire desk! What's the strangest thing I've ever tried? Well, there was this time my cousin mixed Neopolitan ice-cream with three flavors of jello into some dessert soup, and served it with a cherry coke/grape soda/orange soda mix for a drink. It wasn't bad, but I found that the flavors tend to cancel each other out. I've also had beef steak with chocolate sauce. Apparently, it was a trendy dish at one point, though the trend was lost on me. It didn't make me gag, but I'd rather separate my steak and my chocolate sauce by a glass of water. From now on, it's barbecue sauce for the steak and chocolate sauce for the brownie sundae, thank you very much.

I apologize to Knorg. I didn't mean that as an insult. All I know is that he'd be a formidable legal interpreter if he chose it as a career. I'd have to finish reading the fic in order to see how appropriate the tagline is for the fic. But if Keith thinks it's good after reading the fic, then I'd trust his judgement too. Speaking of which, welcome back Keith! I'm still trying to finish Lamia.

Yes, and I'm a double-agent. Or am I a triple-agent? Seriously folks, Canada's federal political situation is a yawn-fest. That's one of the reasons so many Americans are moving here. The only thing Canada is guilty of is having the one of the largest and most powerful arsenals of anti-American jokes. Should I use the icon now?

Actually red, that may be one of the best summaries I have ever read. There's several types of summaries. There's the type that tells you what the story is about in a brief, simple, and clear manner. Not hard to do and often the best approach. Then there's the tagline. An interesting quote or line that intrigues prospective readers without deceiving them. Your tagline is certainly intriguing and I'm going to have to get around to actually reading your fic. Being a bit obsessed with rules myself (but nowhere in Knorg's league), I'm fully aware of what the rules are concerning warning tags. Still, there are times when you can get away by omitting a few tags from the summary. If the warning applies to only one brief scene or chapter, you can put it at the top of the chapter (as well as posting a list of warnings by chapter in a note at the beginning if you want to play it real safe) If there's a huge number of warnings, you can add "warnings inside" or something like that, then list all the warnings in the first chapter before the beginning of the story. The whole point is warning people about the contents of your story before they actually get a chance to read it. That way, they'll steer clear of what they don't like, and if they don't like certain content factors, it's not as if they can claim that they hadn't been warned in advance.

About the pregnancy thing... Daz, is that true? I wouldn't know because I've never been pregnant. Daz on the other hand, is diabetic and pregnant. I've never experienced weight gain after switching to diet soda. But I did find the pounds melting off effortlessly when I stopped drinking soda for three months straight. I don't really drink soda that much any more unless it's to win a contest or something. Aspartame, or any artificial sweetener for that matter, can be dangerous when taken in extremely large amounts close together, but that rarely occurs, even amongst those of us dependent on them. I can tell you this: foods that are supposedly sugar-free tend to have extra fat in them to compensate for flavor, and foods that are supposedly fat-free have extra sugar in them for the same reason. As a result, if you eat food with sugar-free labels regularly, you're likely to gain weight unless you modify your exercise regimen to compensate. If you eat food with fat-free labels regularly, you'll find yourself hyper at times and ought to drink extra water to compensate for the sugar. Avoid foods that claim to be both sugar-free and fat-free because they'll actually do you the most harm and they taste icky anyway. Personally, I prefer cooking and baking whenever I can, and usually go for the water. The only things I usually indulge in happen to be sugar-free chocolate and low-fat chips, because I'm a sucker for chocolate and chips tide me over well when classes last 6 or more hours non-stop. If you want more advice on healthy eating, ask Sam. I'm not a health nut by any means.

I happened to be watching the end of the episode A Room at the Top on the Brady Bunch when signing up for the e-mail account. When you read the closing credits very quickly, the words can blur together and the clearest words are the first and last ones. The middle line read "Eve Plumb... Christopher Knight". I read it as Eve Knight. That ID was already taken, so I chose to add a number. In the last scene of the episode, Cindy is calculating when she'd get the attic room and came up with 1975. So I added "75" to the ID. Pretty simple, really. It happens to be a pleasant coincidence that Jan/Peter happens to be my favorite Brady Bunch ship, and that according to the series, they happen to turn 16 in the year 1975 - a typically important age when it comes to growing up mentally, emotionally, and sexually. So basically, I chose my username at random, but it fits me very well and I've grown to love it.

As far as I know, I'm the only Canadian on this board with some power to get rid of Bush. Not much I can do about Congress until I actually move back to the U.S (which will definitely be after 2008, because that's when we'll have the power to get rid of that maniac). Remember to e-mail me your votes for President and I'll see what I can do with mine.
