Truly a beautiful woman with a healthy approach.  And congratulations go out to her for getting her pro-card, especially as she seems motivated to use it!  😉

jdm022 requested these… (what does this name means? jdm022

just…do…more…?

or, maybe,

just…do…morphs…?

and I'm with cpbell, on this- aniston needs to adopt this as her new look!

I realize that you've already made your choice, stmercy2020 but for what it's worth, I had already thought of these:

"Heavy Matters"
"Curl Girls"
"Pant 'n Paint"
"Pleasing Palette"

It's worth quite a bit, actually. 🙂

I'll keep checking back here, especially if I find my creative juices starting to run dry…

Oh, and Ashlee- what d'you think: should I do a NSFW Sylph story using your title?  I'm still trying to wrap my tiny mind around it, but I think it could be really, really fun…

I want the magic wand to make my TV show the hotties the way you morph them, jdm!  Keep up the great work!

[stmercy2020]

Verr nice!  But who are the three new chicas?  Where can I go to see the full pix?  ???

[stmercy2020]

Hee!  I just noticed this thread…

I got a request for all you uber-talented drawing and rendering and painting type peoples…

If anyone thinks they can do Sylph and Kalida justice in their upcoming bikini carwash (thanks go out to The Mole for the idea), I wanna see it!

To get an idea of what Sylph looks like, read any of the Sylph stories, but especially:

For some reason the artistic style reminds me of Heavy Metal…

Nice up, ze fly!

[stmercy2020]

Ah, yes.  Superpowered cheesecake!  Who could ask for anything more?  Well, maybe more muscles, but you know how it is…

Powergirl and Atom.  😀  rotflmao!

Thank you for continuing Dicey's story St Mercy.

There are two ways people read stories on the web.  All-at-once, and chapter-by-chapter over the weeks as they are written.

It is always harder for people to follow stories chapter-by-chapter over the weeks.

I've looked through the archives over at DtV, and I've found some fine stories that continued, and built, and then suddenly stopped after 4 or 5 installments.  The last 1/2 or the last 1/3 of the story was never written.

Looking back now, my suspicion is that the readers following along as these stories were written must have lost track of the plot.  Without readers providing feedback at the time, the authors probably figured their work was unappreciated, and moved on to something else.

But coming along later, and reading what was written all-at-once, is much easier.  There is no hint of what the past problem was.

I think that Dicey's story has the potential to become a very popular well-read story when it is complete.  People will sit down, and read chapter after chapter, over a day or two, and they will really appreciate the character development and plot twists.

I don't know what you have in mind, but Second Chance might need a full-length novel to tell its story.  That would be a pretty ambitious undertaking.  But, as I say, while people may have trouble reading it a chapter at a time, reading it continuously is much easier.

So far, you are doing very well.  I am enjoying her story very much.

(I do wonder what tools the site has if you make a wrong turn with the plot and want to go back and correct it.  The longer a story is, I suspect, the greater the likelihood of any author needing to do take a different branch.)

Thank you once again for your kind words, KeithXZ, and apologies for getting the letters backwards in your name.

I sincerely hope that this story won't be that long.  I'm at about 41 pages, right now, and I think I might have another 50 left in me for this story, but we'll see.

I know that most readers probably find the chapter-by-chapter format frustrating.  It is bloody difficult to write a story of 50+ pages all at one go, though, and we writers need some encouragement.  One of the reasons I started writing the Sylph stories was, quite honestly, as an ego stroke.  I just get a little bitchy, you see, when I spend hours (and days, really) working on something and get zero feedback.  I'm not really greedy- I see stories out there that have several thousand views and, like, 5 responses, so I can't honestly say that I'm getting short-shrift.

And I write in MS Word, mostly.  I just cut, paste, and then apply the formatting changes.  If I find myself having to rewrite (God forbid), I would probably have to resort to posting an entirely new thread explaining what was going on and why.

I do maintain a rough outline in a separate file that I go back to just to keep me moving in the right direction, and I take copious notes about each of the characters that I create, many of which will probably never actually make it to print.  I mean, seriously, who cares that the Motorheads were inducting Joey into the gang and so needed him to commit a murder on film.  Nobody.  Nobody really needs to know that the most crucial piece of evidence introduced at their trials was the security camera footage from the warehouse, either, but I keep track of that stuff.  I'm just weird, that way.
