Maybe I've seen Criminal Minds too many times, but I think the cops might have a problem with the ending...
[Alright, so I'm in a spoil-sport mood today.]
Yeah, I was worried about that. I had an idea to explain it more logically, but it felt like the flow was hampered when I tried to put it in, so I just left it as is.
Thanks for the compliments everyone. I'm glad you liked it.

I was just shown this video elsewhere and was coming to share it here. Looks like you beat me to the punch. It was a great watch.

That is one goofy religion. I'm glad at least there's a movement afoot to push some of the Mormons into a "progressive" direction where they can reluctantly accept gay marriage to a point. I have no problem with them not allowing gay marriage in an actual Mormon temple -- to me, that's part of their own religious freedom. Forcing people's beliefs cuts both ways; I see no point to force somebody to accept me, but they do need to allow us to exist and live our own lives without hostility.
Amen to that! This is an argument I still have with my Mormon family today. Some of them are accepting of gay people, but others not so much. I do try and explain to them that most of us wouldn't want to be married in a place that doesn't accept us anyway, but that doesn't mean they don't falsely believe that it's in our agenda.

It was my favorite novel growing up. I have to say it was my own expectations that probably led to my grand disappointment.

Also in the world of religion, the UAE is pushing for harsher laws against sorcerers.

Dammit! Does this apply to energy work? If so I will have to reconsider that trip to Dubai. . .

I worked on a Mormon cartoon product a couple of years ago (don't ask), and I was stunned when I heard the whole story of Joseph Smith and the angel from god and the golden plates and the mysterious language that took him a decade to translate and on and on and on. It's the biggest bunch of crap I've ever heard in my life. Scientology makes more sense, and that's really science fiction.
Gonna try to see Ender's Game tomorrow. Movie ain't doing too well, but the reviews have been OK (not stellar, but positive). A friend of mine reports the shower fight scene is intact in the book, but very G-rated.
I was born and raised Mormon, and yes it is a load of crap. I once served as a missionary for the church, so if you ever have research questions pertaining to what they believe, I would be happy to answer questions honestly.
The shower scene is definitely missing points from the book, and is probably PG. Terrible movie by the way. I have never been more disappointed in a book to movie transition.

Thanks for the offer, I hope we are both able to find one before then. It's no use me offering to be a temporary editor for you as I know I am totally crap at that job.
No worries my friend! I was able to get a good friend of mine to look it over for me, so I have since submitted my short. It should be up in a few days.

If you haven't found anyone within a few weeks I will be caught up in my personal life and be happy to help you out, but I hope for your sake that you are able to find one quicker than that.

I know of one very good one. Perhaps he'll see this tonight and get back to you. I know he's helped with a few of my stories.
Excellent. Anyone who is willing is welcome to email me. Samuel.D.Roe@gmail.com is my address. Again, I appreciate anyone who can help.

I just finished my second short story but my editor is currently recovering from surgery. I was wondering if anyone was able to help me out and edit for me just this once. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Cynus

He only starts out at six, he's fourteen by the end of the book I believe.

I really liked this story. My slight Anthropology background connected with the themes that Nigel presented here, and I think the scene was built quite nicely. Excellent story, thanks for sharing it with us.
