The only story titled Perfection in the books subdomain is this one. I'm not finding an author by this name. Is it possible the author changed pen names?

Even though I don't write, I HATE seeing reviews like that. As you stated, and as MOST of us are aware, you do have a life outside of writing. For free, I might add. Not only that, I'd rather read something with some kind of plot and plot development. This is when I think "sorry kiddo, but the writer does have to GET you there first" and that's one of the NICER things that goes through my head when seeing that. As to your job situation, that's just awful. I've been in jobs where I hated my job, hated going to work, and in fact, got so stressed from it, my ulcer acted up in a big way. It was lovely getting sick on the train every morning before work. As to the lack of children, I've observed over time that people can be insensitive about it. Many suffer from "open mouth insert foot" syndrome regarding this as well. As you've said, there are medical reasons for this having happened for you. The point is, whether or not a person knows why you don't have any children, doesn't mean that a person should badger you about HAVING children. Gal I've been friends with since I was 10, has never had any. She's never had a desire to be a mother. She got a load of crap from many people over the years about it, but it works for her. Thing to remember here is that it's no one else's business, and they keep sticking noses and comments in where not wanted, you're well within your rights to tell 'em to shut the fuck up and leave it alone. As to your cousin? He needs some serious help.

I emailed you with what you need.

I reported too. I'm not holding my breath though, with these people

what in hell is that supposed to be???

oh dear.......honest, I don't bite...MUCH. LOL. Thanks for fixing it!

Checked, and yes, it's fixed and unhidden

Goldhorse, I found the mail sent to you originally, and forwarded it to you.

hahaha, thought so! I read it way back when

Didn't you have this posted up some years ago? (I thought I remembered reading a looooong time ago). Now I'm going to have to read it!

Hi there, I edited out where you asked for copies. We don't allow that. If the author downed the fiction, there is a reason behind it. Other users may, however, LINK you to where the stories you asked about may still be posted.

...or....recaptcha caught wordord! yeah, that's it! that's the ticket!

I expect she kept the meat of it for publication.

Rosemary, we do not encourage passing around copies of any author's work. As she pulled the story for publication, that would be how you'd get a copy.

I make liberal use of my refresh button, on any site.

Regarding chapter data repair: I thought I'd give an example of each for instance. This is with the addition of the rich text editor, and how it showed code (often), screwed up spacing (100% of the time), changed fonts throughout, (often) and other such things. This particular story that I just fixed is 29 chapters long. BEFORE stripping out all the garbage from the word exported html, The collective size of the thing was 8MB. Once I was done fixing it, it shrank to 1.5MB. This is before I fixed things this is after another example of the rte stuff to fix- As you can see, there is quite a difference. These are the steps I have to take to fix these particular stories: Check the text encoding. If it's not universal, convert it. REMOVE all the extra html that makes illegal function calls, is just sort of ...there... and what not. (This is done line by line by line by line...) convert the php line break to a space, as for these records, that's what the line break inserted actually is, not a paragraph end or line break. Double check each record, make sure I missed nothing Mind you, it doesn't SOUND like a lot, but consider that a simple paragraph open container, which is NORMALLY 3 characters (<p>), can often be upwards of 50 characters. Not only that, there are EXTRA paragraphs added, that the nonexistent .css file actually references for formatting. I run across this with each html element in the document. This is why this particular story shrunk so drastically. The sheer file size because of the extra, useless html embedded within each record. What causes the appearance of normally "invisible" coding elements, or the oddball spacing, and what not; is that the rich text editor attempts to strip all this garbage out. It can only do a partial of this, until a user actually opens the chapter and clicks "edit chapter" to resave it. It then finishes stripping out most of it. The only thing I've seen it have difficulty with removing are the extra paragraphs Word likes to insert in the converted document. So, what would take a user maybe a minute or two a chapter (unless they want to make additional changes) by simply resaving it, takes ME roughly two to four hours per chapter, depending upon just how much garbage was inserted in to the record. The more crap code, the longer it takes to fix it. Which is why I am grateful to the users who've taken the time and not waited for me, and gone ahead and FIXED their stories where it was a word file exported to html. Seriously. Those of you who've already done this have saved me untold hours of work.

There are actually variants on the pride and/or pack meme, as it is a theme within the fandom. For example, you have stories where Xander's hyena was only dormant, and then comes out to play. There's another series (it's here, but I have to fix it), where the lion pride thing is done. It's a series. If I remember right, that one features Angel and Buffy, among others. What I'm getting at is that it's not a unique concept to this one author, as variants on it have been getting written for a number of years. So, unless the requestor is asking for a continuation (which isn't what it looks like) of the other story, there wouldn't need to be any permissions asked for, as this is a fairly common thing within the fandom.

Aw man, I hope things start turning around in a GOOD way for you!

Wow. Tough breaks there it sounds like. I digress. I have to say, I was spanked as a child. I also spanked my own. However, it was LIMITED. Going back to something mentioned earlier by an ADHD person, yes, when you are this way, sometimes it TAKES a thwack to get your attention and make you realize that what it is you're doing is wrong. I'm also like this. So, I can tell you from my own personal experience that sometimes, no matter how reasonable my parents tried to be, or how many times they talked to me about something, I just ..ignored them. However, the spank got my attention, and made me listen to what they'd been fruitlessly telling me for awhile. I had different reasons for not reacting with fighting back as a child. As the oldest, I was expected to NOT react in that manner with my younger sibs, no matter how provoked. You bet they provoked me, and OFTEN. My one sis would make it her goal in life to see how long it would take her to make me so mad I'd finally DO something. Of course, once I did, I got in trouble, because as the oldest, I was supposed to know better....(even though she is a year younger than I). In any case, there are many different reasons as to why someone will or will not fight back physically when confronted in the same vein as a child. For me, with my sibs, it was because I wasn't supposed to. However, with other kids, if they did, I'd let it go for so long before yes, I did fight back. But that's actually another topic, i.e. bullies.

Prompt: Topple Please remember to follow the rules as outlined here: Rules Sorry for the delay, posting this escaped us both this week! As a result, the prompt will be open an additional week. Happy Writing!
