Welcome, Buistybump. To echo the previous members, do feel free to comment on any story that captures your fancy. And as long as you're polite, you can even tell the author that you don't like the story, hopefully with reasons why. But I hope you like the bulk of what's presented here.

Do you know about the archive? If not, just click on the highlighted word to the left and you'll see over four thousand stories of varying length, from a single to multi-part epic tales, from the lightest romantic banter to the deepest and darkest levels of human pain, and were I a gambler I'd lay nickels to noodles you'll enjoy over ninety percent of what you find.

One of the neat ways to explore the archive is to go to the bottom of the first page and click on the Random Link. I have found so many gems that way - authors I've not met online, stories from the very early days, and tales that were never on the message boards, not to mention old favorites I'd all but forgotten. I've been a member here for a long time and I haven't hit bottom yet.

Have fun! That's what we're here for.
