Hmmmmmmm, I’m gonna tease my loved ones less...damn, broke that already….
I know, shit, I’ll swear less….damn….

At a certain point, you just need a word processor, the software doesn’t have to be fancy.  The user interface doesn’t really need to get an annual makeover, misplacing all the icons/menus so you have to relearn it all.  Generally, I’ve found LibreOffice to be quiet stable and consistent.  It might be a bit outdated/obsolete in certain areas, but that’s fine, it just has to work.

A good resolution would be to finish one of the stories I’ve already started.  (Though I’m not sure, my mind’s already diving into the sequel to my holiday fic.)

It… it sounds a lot like me. I mean, not at writing. But in general.

Fallout shelter?  It’s an okay game, great for the price (free).

BW, convert your money to British, then you can most definitely lose 25 pounds!  (Likely the cheaper way to keep the resolution too )

Oh yes.  can definitly see the hoofprints ofm the dymanic duo here.  Very nice story.  Thankfully no cliffhanger just a well written story.  Would ask for another chapter to see what the attorney did to the PD but would rather see another chapter of SITG.
  
aww thanx rescue, not sure we’ll do another chapter, let everyone’s imagination deal with the PD, it was actually just a way to mess with them having sex

Enjoyed this story.  Agree that Mike is a nerd and great that he did not feel pain.  
 Like that Tiff was a doctor in training.  Reminds me of the statement that Liz was going to be training to be a doctor before the lastest set back with Sreve.
Like the small cliffhanger that Mike told Tiff that Santa had a surprise for her on Christmas Day.
Also like the way that you did get Santa in the story as the one who witnessed the attack on Mike and have Tiff a ride to Mike's on Christmas Eve.
Would like to see a second chapter to see what the lawyer does to the NYPD.
Is a great story and keep up the great story telling.
 
 Magus made the Tiffany character, he likes kind of mixing me and Lizzie up when he does LOL
and Santa is supposedly the one who bumps into Mike at the beginning of the story too
so we actually kind of went around and around on the “surprise” Steve wanted to have him propose to her but I told him it was too early in their relationship so we just sort of left it out there like the police thing to let the reader fill in the blanks

yay, xmas story is done  now we can get back to writing SITG, just as soon as we remember what we were writing about LOL
so chat box cheer is at:

Ok, DA’s and my story is up, its a long one too so get the hot chocolate and bathroom breaks out of the way before you start

JayDee, if you’re coming from word 2000, I suspect libreoffice is closer to what you’re used to than the latest offering in Word.  
While I’ve been shifting from LibreOffice to LaTeX, I still recommend Libreoffice. (LaTeX has a learning curve with way less GUI).

Title: Unexpected Gift
Summary: Mike and Tiffany literally run into each other and strike up a romance, but as Christmas quickly approaches they both are thinking of something special as a gift...and who is that fat man anyway.

mwahahaha 
should be posted before the weekend, we’ve been bad and writing xmas stories  

We can consider a like/dislike to be an express review, but we’ve seen how that system can be abused.   (ie, downvote for spite, for whatever reason, being a pairing, a tag, another grudge or a blue moon).  Maybe we could add some buttons, you know, common review blurbs, that autostarts a review for the reader.  So a “+1” button could start a review that says “I like this.” prompting them to add in more before hitting that “Post Review” button.

It’s tough to get feedback.  My stories (ignoring the round robin), have 3 posted reviews, and those stories aren’t short either.  I did delete the old first story (that’s being replaced by three) earlier this year, and that IIRC, had 3-4 reviews.  And I’ve been on AFF for 2 ½ years.  So, to have a one review in a month, that’s better than my average.  The one thing I do, and it helps, is I record the hits about every day, and I plot them (libreoffice’s calc), and seeing the consistent jump after posting a chapter/episode does let me know that people are reading, and enjoying it enough to come back for another instalment. 
Now, the round robins we’ve been starting to have, in 2015, and I’m pushing on the 2016, are good because they help give you a bit of exposure, perhaps pick up a new reader or two.  

I like to think that every hit that doesn’t get a review is just a reader who was so captivated by the story that they were left speechless, so to speak...typeless(?)

Overall, Tcr, you’re in the right place, even if the feedback in Original>Misc is low.  I find AFF’s forums to be much more engaging than FB!   Keep writing.
