I'm fairly well-read in the science fiction, fantasy and horror genres; outside those, not so much. Regarding Lovecraft, I read an anthology of his stories about 10 or 20 years ago with great expectations, given how highly he is regarded. But his prose style was so bad (IMO) and OTT that I found him...

Thanks!

It's that time of year again. This year, I'll try to avoid any typos and wish readers a Merry Christmas rather than a "Marry Christmas"! And a Happy New Year as well, of course.

It's not been hard work recently. I'd welcome more episodes being posted for me to give the once-over.

It's an impressive achievement to have kept it going for so long. My grateful thanks.

That does seem likely.

I'll take a look at your HH episode. It will be good to hav3e something new there.

Thanks for the report. I would guess that the Extend-A-Story database software has recently been updated and that this has somehow broken some thing. I don't think Sir Toby looks in on the forum very often, so I'll email him a "heads up" to look at your post. Should you encounter any furth...

Well spotted! I think my own first episode may have been #24, on February 13th, 1999. Thanks for the kind words. I've greatly enjoyed collaborating with you, most recently on the Black Void just a few months back. I too miss the many fine authors who have vanished over the years. I really out to try...

It's time for my annual post wishing readers of this forum - assuming that there are still any besides myself - a Marry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

I like the new episode (8443 for anyone reading this some time hence). I'd envisaged the babies being taken away immediately after birth, but having them remain with their surrogate mother for a few months after birth is probably more interesting. That the Vorkon biological mothers don't want them b...

Sorry for the delay in responding. I went away on vacation on the day that you posted, and have only just returned home.

I like your ideas. Of the two suggested possible reasons for the Vorkons' use of surrogates, I prefer the second. Of course it's possible that none of the humans know the reason.

There's life on the Black Void. The first episodes in what seems like several years have been posted there, reviving a story that has always been a favourite of mine.

And welcome from me too. I saw that a new episode had been posted, but I confess that I did not read it very carefully. I shall have to return to it and read it properly.

Thanks. It's good to know you're still around.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, everyone.
