ParticipantPretty cool.
I have to wonder if it works. It is depressing to see so many men with bad grammar making idiotic demands.

ParticipantSeldom – was that reply tongue-in-cheek or serious?
I am rarely serious.

ParticipantThat depends a lot on the story!
The male characters in my stories are always physically weaker relative to the main female character, but they vary as to absolute size and strength.

ParticipantYou're just jealous that Jesus doesn't speak to you.

ParticipantNope! Copying another author's style is very hard, and I applaud those who can do so.
That said, I don't mind re-envisioning and re-interpreting when a new author comes to a story. There is not so much good work in this genre that I can be picky. If a story is good but different from the original, I welcome it.
Tangential but still related, I have been toying with the Creative Commons copyrights. One of them provides a way for us free authors to allow free extensions (with attribution to us, of course), but still be compensated if our work is used for anything commercial. That sounds pretty ideal to me.

ParticipantThe swastika is a Hindu symbol meaning "luck" or "charm", or one of the many, many incarnations of a good or lucky god. It is only in the Western world that it has become a symbol of evil.
For a while it's a bit disconcerting wandering around temple grounds in India and seeing the swastika everywhere. It's a decorative pattern used in fencing, sculptures, etc, like the cross in a church.
I imagine Hindus are pretty pissed off that a benign, lucky symbol to them has been co-opted and turned into a symbol of hate and violence to the Western world.
I post this because I think it's important not to associate everything the Nazis did with the taint of Naziism. If we are going to use the swastika as the ultimate symbol of hate, we should at least recognize its origins and history first.
Ignoring what happened, and that there are people who still believe that way, does not make it go away. I think you can go ahead and post the pictures. There will always be a fascination with evil and the baser instincts of the human soul, ignoring that is stupid and a fantastic way to make sure these things happen again, and again, and again.

ParticipantOne of these days I'll get myself a new computer so I can watch these HD videos, as it is they run at about 3 seconds per frame. Sigh…
Yes, wow, Jamie is gorgeous and sexy and beautiful and all three of those wrapped up in one buff, short, energetic little package! Sexy wife all right, her husband is a lucky dude I'm sure.

ParticipantRoar! You're off to a great start, and I look forward to following your progress!
