  1. After having posted on a once-weekly (Saturday) schedule from January 1st of this year, AwesomeDude will return to twice-weekly posting (Wednesdays & Saturdays) from April 2018.

    Although we still have lots of catching up to do -updating AD Author Pages and other 'housekeeping duties'- we've worked out a new schedule to try to catch up  most of these by mid-year.

    This will give AD Authors and Readers more flexibility in posting and reading stories here at AD.

  2. Although we currently update the AwesomeDude site every Saturday, since Valentine's Day falls on a Wednesday this year we'll have a special posting on February 14th.

    Included will be stories from such popular AwesomeDude Authors as Altimexis, Cole Parker, Cynus, Merkin, Pedro and William King.

    Don't miss this special Valentine's Day posting on , Wednesday February 14, 2018!

    TR left us a while back. He was a wonderful soul and I miss him.

    Wherever he is I'm sure he's happy you loved his story.

    TR left us - and this world - on August 25th, 2012.  Joey was one of the smartest and most empathetic individuals I have ever known.

    I'm sure he is happy you enjoyed his story.

    He left us a number of short stories, poems and a couple of unfinished novels.  He also had a wicked sense of humor.

  4. Reading your comments has been interesting and enlightening. 

    Don't get me wrong, I'm not advocating making AwesomeDude into a legacy or archive site.  I just feel that having regular updates is vital to keeping the site in the minds and hearts of readers and that visiting us on a regular basis is vital to keeping up our reader base.

    A few years ago, almost all sites - with the exception of Nifty - updated once a week or even  less often.  I believe -if my memory is correct- that it was when we started posting twice weekly, because of the volume of stories we had going, that other sites like our friends at IOMFATS and CRVBoy started doing the same. Perhas it was in friendly competition or possibly because they were experiencing increased volume of stories as well.

    Prolific writers like Cole took advantage of this and requested chapters of his stories be fast-track posted.  Now, I haven’t consulted with Cole on this, but what if we went back to a weekly posting schedule?  I’m sure the two above-mentioned sites would follow suit unless they have a lot more quality stories on their plates. 

    This might take the pressure off a lot of our authors as well.  Especially those writers who have a good track record of supplying chapters on time.

    Again, my suggesting this may move me to the head of Cole’s s—t list, :sneaky:but posting once a week would certainly lighten the load for me and allow me more time to seek out new talent.

    Any comments, pro or con are welcome.  

    And don’t forget, I welcome emails at dude@awesomedude.com or phone calls at (760) 459-5211 anytime.

  5. Has anyone heard from our friends who were in harms way in Florida and Texas and the Caribbean.  Chris James, Steven Adamson, AD Forums member ChrisR and others?

    I haven't heard from any of them since the storms passed.

    I hope all are OK.
