Please don't make us wait another week :) The world seems more and more hostile. We need some fiction diversion!

My hopes were up. :bwl:


I worry about kaijafon, at some point he is either going to get exposure or get in trouble with the law for his streaking. :lol:

I admit that I don't know. :confused: Apologies to Kaijafon if your female. When there isn't an gendered avatar, and the person spends a month running around neked, I just assume they are male. :prfl:

OK, this is a warning. No MOAR and I will be joining Kaijafon in the streaking protest. This will NOT be pretty, actually on the verge of terroristic actions as one considers having to see my 67 year old, scarred up wrinkled flabby old woman body running around the forum.

Kathy save your fellow board members. Don't make me do this!

galt

She may in fact have stopped writing for public consumption. She has made reference to going Galt, this may be one of the ways she is implementing her boycott of giving the public the best of her talents without what she would consider adequate compensation or appreciation. If 'going Galt' is truly her intent she has removed her talents from our grasp... No more stories...
Any offer of paying for her writing with FRN's will be met with silence, any pleading will also be met with silence, the light has gone out and no glimmer of her talents will ever be released again...
If you haven't read it yet, read 'Atlas Shrugged' by Ayn Rand, this is what Kathy has stated she is trying to do. Or she may be taking a short break, it just doesn't feel like that.

Kathy,

A quick perusal of your recent posts show that you are online and quite active. That's all fine and good, but don't you think it's just a bit irresponsible to leave all the people following your excellent stories just swinging in the wind? Look at some of the speculation posted here. There are people worried about you. Right up until I looked over your recent posts I too thought that odds were good you were sick, in the hospital, something. I didn't think you'd just drop us like this.

Please post here. At least have the courtesy to tell us to just shut up and wait, all go to hell you're sick of all this writting, something.

While I pray Kathy is well, and that she is able to finish this and other wonderful stories she has started. I don't think she or any other author who posts here owes us anything, occasionally, incomplete tales are the price we pay for reading free stories. If you enjoy her work, follow the link below her name, you will find more of her writings, including several completed stories.

Thank you, I was trying to think of a nice way to say this. Kathy shares her awsome stories with us, as she can. But, I think she's dealing with real life and getting ready for the coming crap-storm, we all know is coming.

Nah, you both miss my point.

I'm not asking Kathy for MOAR. She owes us ZERO story. There are people (fans) who are growing concerned about her health it's been so long with nothing from her. She owes us fans at least the courtesy of letting us know that the story is done for awhile or forever, or whatever. If she hadn't been posting like crazy on other threads, I'd've said nothing. But with all the posts in just the last two days she could at least come over and say hi fer cryin' out loud.

I have read everything she has written, completed or not. She is one very few female authors that I enjoy reading; most female writers I can't stand to read. There are several other female writers that I like, oddly enough they are mostly all here on TB.

At any rate I love Kathy dearly and miss her work. And it is the holidays. But Kathy, get over here and tell me to go to hell or something! I miss ya!

This post is coped from the Shaken Sari story, I think it speaks for itself. I for one believe that Kathy will finish her story's when life allows her the time and energy, and if that never happens I will still feel blessed to have read all that she has given us freely.

At the moment my real life reads like an over cliche'd soap opera ... too much going on and not a lot of extra energy to deal with it. It all wants to hit the fan at the same time doesn't it? I'll live, it's just I don't have the wherewithall to deal with real life and write. It's got to be one or the other for a bit and real life trumps even if I'd prefer to be writing to escape the stress.

Kathy told us she'll return to her writings later. She's always come through in the past with her promises, and in the years I've been reading her posts, you can tell she's always been of the highest integrity. I'm confident that she'll share the end of this story when she has time. She's had to pause stories before due to real life events, and most everyone understands priorities.

In the past, I and others have suggested she peddle some stories, or allow donate buttons on her blog. She always responded with the notion that these are her gift to the world as well as part of her self-therapy. I fully understand both, and sometimes wish I had the gift of writing as well.

Yep, we may moan and complain, but it's just to show how much we appreciate her story gifts. If there comes a time when Kathy isn't able to give them any more or simply decides not to, I'll just say thank you again for all the entertainment and knowledge she slipped into those stories. Then I'll go on with life. I love her stories for some reason.. her writing just "fits". I've learned quite a bit of folk lore, survival, and down-home living hints from her stories, we regularly use some of her recipes, and she's reminded me of things from my younger years that I thought were long forgotten. I appreciate the knowledge she's shared with us.

I just going to assume that she's hit writer block. Hopefully when the Holidays are over, and she's under less stress, she'll be able to cyome back to this story.

Better that she takes her time, then she rushes something out to shut us up.

Have a Merry Christmas Kathy. Hope to get more of the story after the New Year.

Iv followed Kathy's stories forever, and seen her pattern of posting. We get more story from her in a small amount of time than from most lol. She posts in bursts. She will start new stories and we get addicted, but she follows her own creative road. At first i used to message her wondering if she was ok when she hit a stopping point, now i just don't worry about it. She will write again on this story, or another. I just sit back and enjoy the ride when shes on one of her major posting spree's lol.

She writes when she wants and over the years, although I may want more, I know Kathy is going to write when the creative stuff inside insists on pushing its way through her busy life. I will call for more to encourage her, because she truly is one of my favorite authors (including ones I pay for), but if she doesn't begin again , I just sit back and wait for another writing spree to pop up.

There is truly something about her writing style that is very addictive. She knows many of us would pay for her stories as we have all offered over the years. Nope as sportsman says, money doesn't influence her lol. It is her gift to us and herself , but I think she needs to remain free from schedule or money to enjoy doing what she does.

Gurl is the one unfinished story I'd dearly love to see picked up.
For reasons I won't go into I relate to Gurl and the way she was rasied.

Kathy, Lifting you up to the Lord our God. I do know that life throws us curve balls and writing can be a wonderful way to step out of the life we live. I do appreciate when you can post and hope that you do not take offense at the posts asking for wee bit more. Having gone through some terrible life experiences of late I know how hard it is to sit down and write what you know is there in your heart and mind. Wishing you all the best, Sis

Merry Christmas Kathy and everyone. Just keeping this story on the front page. I sure don't want it to fade into the pages of history without being finished.
