  1. I'm not so sure. What if the person who posts wants to see what you look like first?

    Relationships are a two-way street, after all. And (to continue my cliches riff, but on a different metaphor), you can't always judge a book by its cover. On occasion, I've wound up with very good friends I might not have looked twice at if I were to walk by them on a sidewalk.

    There would be no way for them to post. It'd be on my website somewhere (see original post). I don't give a flying fuck about looks really.

  2. (This is serious. No joking in this thread.)

    So, since I started posting, I've gotten random emails from readers who really want to meet me. I don't mean the "You are so cool, I just want to meet you to see what an awesome person wrote this" type emails. I mean the MEET type e-mails, you know for drinks and such.

    I am not into hook-ups at all. I must be clear on that. I am a ONE PERSON raccoon and it tends to last a long, long, long time. I want my friendships and relationships to be forever.

    So, where I'm going is: I've been toying with posting what I look for on my website. Not to attract people but to keep most of these emails away with a "go read this" figuring most of 'em will never come back which would be great. But wouldn't it be neat if maybe one day someone I'm compatible with contacts me? (Yeah, after so many decades, I won't hold my breath.)

    Is this a good idea or not? WHY.

  3. A bit of trivia: We almost started AwesomeDude on April 1st but back in 2004 a certain Tanuki Raccoon, the author formerly known as WriteByMySelf or Wibby to both his friends, suggested we do it on April 3rd as nobody would take us seriously if we launched on Aprils Fools Day.

    Yeah, that's all true. I am proud to have been associated with this site for a long, long time. I often forget how long. Raccoons don't always have the best of memories.

    It's been an interesting time for me. I know I've grown as an author, received helpful advice from some of you, and been through a lot. I've even made some solid on-line friends here, which is amazing since I don't make friends easily, and, well, I don't like people so much either.

    This site has grown, too, and it's become a repository of some very fine fiction and even some non-fiction. We've seen a number of our members emerge as authors, and I think it's a testament to this site's community and denizens of various species/

    And, as an author, I want to thank Dude for actually letting me make this my home. This wasn't the first place I was posted, nor is it the only place, but it is my home since I moved in -- well before I was known as that damned raccoon.

    Thanks Dude!

    :lol:

    Who knew being cut could be so beneficial :)

    Circumcision helps protect heterosexual men against genital herpes and a virus that causes genital warts and cancer but has no effect on the bacteria that causes syphilis, two trials in Uganda show.

    The study in Wednesday's New England Journal of Medicine builds on earlier research that found circumcision reduces a man's risk of HIV infection by more than 50 per cent.

    "Medically supervised adult male circumcision is a scientifically proven method for reducing a man's risk of acquiring HIV infection through heterosexual intercourse," said Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, which funded the study.

  5. I was going to say "nice of you to include a choice for girls (panties), but having Nightie as the only choice resembling a top might not get much play with girls here"

    Until I went to type this, that is, and realized that DUH, those choices were not there with girls in mind at all!! Did you even know there were girls here? Don't even think i'm asking if you care, either.

    That choice was there just for the girls. If there's guys wearing female panties to bed, that's more than I care to know.

  6. OK, first thanks for all the ideas. I've got some stuff now to spur me into action. As I asked I was just looking for something..

    Remember, my stories are about the characters. I want my readers to become emotionally invested in them. Throwing a story around that is easy. Atmosphere is very important which is why I write what I know well.

    I'm sure you'll all see at least something you mentioned appear in some form or another. I will blatantly plagiarize you without credit. Raccoons don't need permission :)

    Word count? That's easy. This is going to be an EPIC. I like to write. My typical work loses about 10% of the words I write....

  7. I want to write a new novel. That's what writers do. Me, I'm a writer. Or so I've been told :)

    Only I'm not sure about what.

    There will be at least one teenager in it, because, well, that's what I want to write about. But that's a bit too general. I'm not sure what I want to write about.

    It doesn't have to be gay or have any sex. That's just a detail. I'm not sure if I want dark or happy. I just don't know. Please, feel free to throw ideas down and see if they stick.

    I'm sure someone will throw down an idea and I'll go "Yeah. That's it!"

    I think whatever it is will be an epic. My current record is 94,000 words (Alone with Myself). I think I want to top that monstrosity and go for triple digits.

    I've always said I wanted to do a murder mystery but when I get right down to it, no I really don't. Epic Fantasy maybe? Help out an old raccoon. Post here, send me an e-mail, a PM, or find me on MSN/YIM/AIM.
