After getting a chunk of writing done, took a break to read the stories and poem in the collection. Left reviews for @InvidiaRed @GeorgeGlass and @BronxWench since I don’t think you get notifications on chapters. 

Thanks, JayDee! I look forward to reading your review once I have access to the archive again.

I reposted mine on that other website a while ago.  Interesting to see which ones have the highest hit counts.

I’ve been out of fanfic so long I don’t even know what the other website is anymore  It were livejournal, long ago…

I had assumed that speaking the incantation would summon dragons & demons… it’ll remain unspoken & unwritten here.

Oh, it’ll be that newfangled alt.sex.stories over on that usenet I expect. I’ll get my 56k modem out and soon be speeding down the information superhighway! 

JayDee,

I imagine there are people who would be into chanting and incantations. Not to mention demons and dragons for some fun. I believe there are a couple stories on here which write about that.

If you can’t get it by FTP, is it even worth getting?

You all are making me miss my IBM PC XT, with its blazing fast 8088 CPU, 64k of RAM, and that spanky 10MB hard drive. And talk about operating systems? MS-DOS, baby! 

 

(I blew up 2 XTs and an AT before they gave me a PS 2, guaranteed not to faint under pressure.)

Given the current tech market, might be the way we’re all heading.

That won’t work well for your writing. Or maybe you could write about happy things?

Dunno, I’ve have some good writing sprints while in a foul mood.

One time I got into a really fowl mood and wrote that Naruto turned into a chicken story.

I tried. They stopped me, shook their heads, said “Write what you know.”

So… happy endings?

[JayDee]

...eh, haven’t had a whole lot of ‘em. One of mine was so unhappy it inspired another writer to write both a oneshot really exploring the misery and a multiparter to give the plucky heroine a more upbeat fate. 

How’s about you. Favor the happily ever after?

Depends on the story. My very first two long form fics didn’t have happily ever after, but they were somewhat happy.
