Doing a listen through of the albums of After Forever. Today was their third album, Invisible Circles.

Eagle Fly Free - Helloween

Quote by fillelapine

I am setting mine in Gwaii Haanas off the BC coast. I think there should be extra points for Canadian settings!

Yes, indeed. We are one sexy country once you get to know us.😁

Quote by JamesLlewellyn
than the conservative doctrinaire approach I fear his successor will take.

Someone on another site that I am on pointed out that Francis actually nominated a good chunk of the current college so another progressive (by Catholic standards) pope is a possibility. But, yeah, one hopes they don't regress here.

And I have started a prolific Kimmi party over in Inspirations to celebrate her new badge and achievement. Pop by if you can.

Good luck with the border, James. Hope bears have an easier time of it than humans seem to these days.

Tea. Earl Grey. Hot. And one of those berry turnovers the lion put out.

One of my many brain fizzles is set in Isle Royale National Park, a backcountry island setting that is (barely) in the US, lies on the Canadian Shield, is full of moose and wolves (and no humans besides backpackers) and is very, very much like you describe. Mine is not likely to get written, given the other ideas echoing around my skull, but I do like the idea and would enthusiastically read yours if you pursued it!

Ah, up by Thunder Bay on our side. Mine isn't quite that far North, more Algonquin Provincial Park, or maybe Killarney, here in Ontario.

Neither much these days, but books.

Fiction or non-fiction?

Quote by joe71

To be clear, that one was a joke. I have at least three other ideas coalescing in my head that do have a chance of becoming stories that adhere to our rules. And are on much smaller islands where you know at all times that you’re on an island.

That said, if I were to do a story around the politician-in-Greenland theme, there absolutely would be consent, without a revenge aspect, and I’d anonymize the Bearded Blunder as a Senator or Congressman.

Who has a couch fetish.

Still kidding! I am absolutely not writing that story.

Except inside my head.

Yeah, but it was too good to pass up for some fun of my own. And trust me, there's sites that would take it. PM me if it ever happens and you find one of them. 😋

Couldn't think of a better way to celebrate Easter. Congratulations to Nika and Elise. May your days together be many and happy.

Quote by JamesLlewellyn
Our friend Nika is getting married tomorrow to a young woman who is a barrister in the UK courts.

Yay and congratulations to Nika and Elise. I guess my invitation for lost in the mail.🥺🤔😁🤣

Mine is starting to sound boring.😕 Straight married couple on a small unnamed island in the back-country of a provincial park. Just means I need to make the sex especially hot, I guess.😉 There's a plot, too, that I quite like. Contains a tiny bit of me, even.

Quote by Jen

I won't rest until this site is a mess of rainbows.

Oo, I like this plan. Of course, you could go too far with that. You're old enough to remember some of the gaudy nightmares that passed for "design" in the nineties web, right? I sure am. shudders

Raiders of the lost orgasm - this has to be an actual porno surely. (Ark)

And there's the sequels:

Indiana Jones and the Orgasm of Doom (Temple)

... The Last Orgasm (Crusade)

... Orgasm of the Crystal Skull (Kingdom)

... The Orgasm of Destiny (Dial)

Awww, such a cute widdow fuzzy bunny. Happy Easter, Rumpies. Haven't seen the bear. Maybe he has the family staying for the holiday. I know his grandcub tends to keep him hopping (well, he's a bear, not a bunny, so metaphorically).

Nice day here, too, though a few degrees warmer would be nice. 12C is the forecast, but it's under 10 for most of the day.

Tea, Earl Grey, hot.

I'll put some seasonal goodies on the bar for those in a need of a chocolate fix.

Is absolutely gorgeous. Love how it brightens the place up and catches the eye. Good job on whoever picked it. I'm almost thinking we need something like that fulltime to brighten things up. The red and white is nice and is the classic look and feel of the place, but some more colours, esp. bright ones like that, would be quite welcome.

Just some thoughts. 😊

California is more my speed.

Sleep in or up with the crack of dawn?

Quote by joe71
I’ve got a great idea involving JD Vance, a few servicemembers at the Thule base … and also a couch.

Remember the rules. Consent is mandatory, no celebrity fiction, and no revenge porn. Of course, JD consenting could be even more fun in its way (is he wearing a cute dress and frilly undies?🤣) but, yeah, the other two rules still come into play.🥺

I have an idea and a few paragraphs but still not sure where it goes in some regards. I am thinking low key magic realism rather than the outright fantasy I had in mind at one point.

I have always done it with dialogue, but I guess the italics things works. A story mod would have to chime in.

Got a couple things on the go, one for here and one for SS. However, I am now thinking about one for the comp.

Oo, toughie. It almost varies depending on what's available. But a nice butter chicken on basmati rice might be it. Love Indian cooking. Too bad it's too spicy for my wife even toned down so we don't eat it much anymore.

What is a TV show or movie you have not seen in years that you would like to see again?

Oo, more blueberry biscuits. Ape is in. A Yorkshire Gold tea to go with them. Got some work done outdoors on the holiday yesterday, now doing my (groan) tax returns. Due to a fuck-up at the Canada Revenue Agency, I'm having to manually key in tax slips again after a few years of being able to download the data directly into my software. With all this money I send to Ottawa, you'd think they could hire decent IT.

The cute young woman in accounting at work. Could probably pass for a teenager in the right attire but is probably late 20s or early 30s given she has a master's degree and a daughter in elementary school.

Quote by MC1982
When I saw the theme, I had a brilliant idea for an adventure on an island with genetically engineered dinosaurs.

I actually have a longstanding "stranded/exiled on a lost island" piece but cutting it back to 4000 words ain't happening now.

Quote by sprite

but earth is, right...?

Is sex with Metalunan mutants allowed? 😨

I have an idea right now. Just debating how fantastical to make it. Could be done without more than just a whiff of the supernatural or go full-on weird fantasy.

Driven across the US-Canada border many times given I have always lived within 2 hours of it.

(Funny how you and I have similar taste in women, BTW. Jenna is quite attractive, though not sure I would date someone younger than my son.)

Would you ever consider moving to another country?

Been to both and NOLA by far. One of my favourite American cities. Been there three times now (twice on business, once on vacation). Vegas was fun but hardly a place I would go twice (though I actually did use the airport as an arrival and departure point for a tour we did of the Southwest).

Shoot craps or play cards (you pick the game)?

Quote by RowanThorn

Just traumatized by mermaids.

🤣

Quote by RowanThorn

<_<

>_>

Why is my mind immediately jumping to horror? Oh well, it is what it is. Probably some mermaids...

LOL. I was thinking about mermaids on my walk but probably more fantasy than horror.

Been a long time since I did a model kit (very long, in fact). I think my best WWII era one was a B-25 Mitchell.

I think tan lines can look kind of sexy, really. But as some have suggested, tanning in and of itself is no longer such a great idea so moderation is a good idea if you're going to do it.

On the one hand, yippee. I have two drafts here that fit, or could be modified a bit to fit, the theme.

On the other hand, groan. Both are already not going to make the 4000 word limit without seriously nerfing some of the story and character development that I have planned.

So, probably back to the drawing board for this one rather than using one of those.

Great comp idea and I love the front page banner image for it.
