I have just posted the first part of a three part seasonal special called "Midwinter Alchemy". It's a short(ish) catch up with the characters from "A Kind of Alchemy". As regular readers will know I'm tech challenged so I don't know how to link to it, but you can find it in my stories written section. As always feedback would be appreciated, reviews or emails, and other than that please read and enjoy! LL

I was just browsing the forum and saw this thread, something must have changed because for the first time in over two years I recived a review notification email today. This made me very happy because since the upgrade I haven't been able to look at my stories in my profile to see if the number of reviews have changed, and I'd have to check each review board one at a time to look for new reviews. So whatever it is you've done thank you very much!

Thanks anyway, I didn't think there would be.

Okay, I'm an idiot, please feel free to roll your eyes or faceplam as necessary, but I accidently deleted a review I didn't want to delete and I'm wondering if there is any way of me getting it back?

The first chapter "Exit Wounds" by London Lampy is now up. It's the sequel to "Second Exit" and I'll be updating on Wednesdays and Sundays as usual. Feedback is much appreciated, either via the review boards or an email directly to me, please feel free to tell me what you like, and what you don't. LL

You mean exact measurements down to the last mil of length and girth are not sexy? Damn, I was just about to write that, lol. I like the word cock too, sometimes I think I write it way too often, although I don't like people using too many synonyms either. I've read some stuff where the writer ends up sounding like some kind of porn thesaurus. I hate using the word prostate, it sounds far too medical, and internal gland is even worse (I've never used that one), but there is a limit to how many times you can put sweet spot in a single story. Anyone got a good sugestion for that one?

Author- London Lampy Title- A Kind of Alchemy Feedback- As always, yes please. Either via the review board or Londonlampy@hotmail.co.uk Fandom- Original Warnings- Slashy smut and fun, but as always no non con or horribly violent sex This is not part of the "Exit" series, but is set in the same universe, indeed the same city. It's the story of Sam, who if you've read "The Boy With the Golden Eyes" you might remember from the first chapter (if you don't/haven't he was Jack's first back in the village). The crossover between the other stories is minimal, so you don't need to have read them to follow this. Thanks for taking time to check this out!

So I finally completed and posted it, the ficlet about the encouter between Vin and Exit that Exit refers to at the start of "Second Exit". I don't think it's ever taken me so long to write 10,000 words, but my life has been somwhat busy recently, and I apoligise for just how long it has taken. As always reviews are greatly appreciated.

Thanks for explaning, I didn't think I'd turned it on, and I think the problem with spam on the review bords predates me (yay for recapture). Perhaps the default should now be changed, I'd imagine quite a lot of writers never realise it's on and quite a lot of readers can't be bothered to log in, or arn't members in the first place. As writers we really don't want anything that puts possible reviewers off, and I can only see you need it on if you are having a troll problem.

This may have just been me being really stupid, but a few weeks ago I posted a new chapter and got no reviews for it (I normally get at least one), so at the bottom of my next chapter I left an A/N saying that I hadn't had any reviews for that chapter, ( in a polite non review whoring kind of way). I got quite a few responses, and one of them pointed out that I had "don't allow anonymous reviews" on, that as a reader if they see that on they normally can't be bothered to log in just to review and assume that the writer is scared of getting reviews/flames. I had no idea that I had that box checked, I hardly ever change my profile. I'm not sure if it's on as default or if I checked it by accident but since I unchecked it I've been getting more reviews, and from people who's screen names I haven't seen before, one of them even congratulated me on unchecking "that stupid box"! As I say, this could be something everybody except me knows about, but if you are suffering from lack of reviews it's worth making sure you are making it as easy as possible for people to review you.

For anyone who's interested, I posted the first chapter of the sequel to my story "Exit Strategy" today, it's cunningly called "Second Exit", here's the breakdown. Title- Second Exit Author- London Lampy Rating- Adult + Summery- Sequel to "Exit Stratery" Feedback- Oh yes, concrit always good Fandom- Original slash URL- Don't actually know how to include that, sorry, if anyone who knows could tell me... If you read and liked the last one then I hope you'll check this out, Mel (aka London Lampy)

Saw sis Sunday, wasn't looking at me funny (thought she might be) discovered she hadn't read any further so still waiting...

So, got a text back from sis, she's enjoying it, she's got to chap 3. First sex scene is in chap 4, seem to remember it's pretty vanilla, I work on the theory that you have to build (whole thing is 46 chaps long), but she has never read any of this stuff before. Her response to that is going to be interesting...

A while ago I told my sister I had been writing stuff and posting it online, I knew she couldn't read it as she had no internet acess, but then recently she told me she was getting broadband and asked where my "novel" was, as she put it. I couldn't tell her not to read it, but I kind of needed to warn her as well, or she was in for a bit of a shock. I'm not sure how much she got of what I was telling her, she'd never heard of slash, or come across the world of online smut writing, and although I don't write it she'd never even heard of fanfic either (I guess you miss a lot not being online for years), and I'm not sure she got just how explict it is. I don't know if she's read it yet, I think I may text her right now to find out, I really have no idea what she's going to make of it.

Yeah, I'd imagine being left handed would cause a problem with wet ink, I get inky enough fingers and I'm not a southpaw. I spend so much of my life on trains it makes sense to do something useful with the time. On the way in at least half the passengers are doing work of some kind, I tend to get a very late train home most days and then half the train is drunk, which can either be entertaining or annoying, depending on my frame of mind. I often find people looking over my shoulder to see what I'm doing, I can hardly complain about this as I do much the same to other people, but if I'm writing a mucky bit I use a piece of paper to cover my work, I do find that worse the line the more it jumps out of the page, sometimes I shock myself that way!
