Oddly, I couldn't sleep last night so I went hunting stories on another site & found a couple of related new ones. Great huh?

I got as far as the protagonist being identified as:
1. ex SpecForces (branch not known).
2. recipient in-theatre of a Dear John & granted a speedy release from service by some magical break.
3. asked to provide cover for a friend's SIL (Gorgeous & 'smells good') who he is completely simpatico with; of course they're a committed couple in 5-6 pages.
4. happy owner of a couple of thousand acres in the Big Sky foothills by virtue of an inheritance from a deceased comrade in arms and guess what? It not only has a gold mine on it, its a monster seam of gold; not nuggets or placer but a seam! Like need to fund some prep upgrades? Just go chip off a few lbs of material & smelt her down!!

A freaking gold mine in his basement!!

I came to my senses & returned to TB2K earlier today. It's good to be home w/ some real writers.

Sorry for the interruption.

I read that story. It's OK, but I use to read Clive Cussler. He tends to post a lot real quick and double post and sometimes out of order. More PAW fantasy than fiction. Not much worst than scrachline's "Clark" stories or some of TOM's stories.

Granted but I thought we were past the repetitive listing by full nomenclature of the armory the lead character has amassed or, better yet, 'discovered'. And the lead character is always a SEAL or similar or has one for a neighbour. I know there are a ton of returned SpecOps vets living among us (thank God they survived) but it seems in some of these tales, there's miraculously one on every block.

The gold mine was the last straw; at least it wasn't another Lotto win so some points there.

There: I feel better but I needed to vent a tad; now, back to the good stuff. :)

Steve who is 62 years old, still has all his hair, six-pack abs, and makes fun of his peers that need the little blue pill has had three "committed relationships" blow up for "some reason" possibly because the author/protagonist is a testosterone poisoned jackass and refuses to realize it. He is after all all-man and then some and is just misunderstood by those low IQ females that are now aging badly. He's broke because of the ex's and disgruntled about it but happy with his freedom, traveling in a Dodge Charger around the country. Some step kids that can't stand him, or they adore him, one or the other. But no kid of his own (thank the Good Lord). I mean he's a vigilante with a heart and all the truckstop waitresses thinks he is a god in and out of bed.

Then his "luck" finally changes when he wins the lottery and can buy that perfect piece of property in the middle of nowhere and believe it or not the blood sucking lawyers can't find him despite all of the notoriety. He spends a crap ton of money fixing the place up so that he can live out his days like Adam without Eve to bother him.

THEN ... the EOTWAWKI happens. He decides to eventually go into town because despite having everything he needs,his trusty wolf sidekick is out of rawhide chews. He runs into this barely legal gal that fits all of his fantasies ... cooks, cleans, sees no one but him even when there is a reasonable population of 20 and 30 something men to choose from. Even insists on sneaking out to his "secret" location and trying to seduce him.

But that's when the motorcycle gang from LA like the golden horde shows up. And he and only he has the experience, the knowledge, and the confiscated national guard goodies to rid the world of those bastards.

Do I need to go on or have you read this one a few times?

Everyone has different reading choices, I actually really like his story and will continuing reading it BUT if I didn't I wouldn't read it anymore as I have done to other stories. It's only fiction....my dream always is to win lotto so I can prepare fully for WTSHTF but it is only a dream so I will just plod along doing what I can with what I have got.

I wonder if its too late to apply for adoption by The Golden Horseshoe association? That was the only thing missing .....

So what you're saying is Bekka and Garen need a gold mine, an airstrip and to steal some AC-130's. Microsoft flight sim 2000 should take care of the training I think

I am enjoying that story, reminds me of romantic fiction with crazy wealth and congenial folks who blend into a cohesive community. Definitely woo woo but for enjoyment it is fine. Gosh I would hate for the author to post here and then gets eviscerating comments. The author posts quickly and has had a few double posts, but that does not bother me.

There was a soft thunk as his club struck her skull a glancing blow. She was dimly aware of him grabbing her hair as he dragged her toward his fully equipped, radiation-proofed bunker.
She came to in the harem room with the other women who had survived the disaster and had followed the signs through the woods that led the way to the advertised refuge for females who were seeking the protection offered by a huge, brawny hunka-hunka burnin' love.

The one person I will not read is the "grandpa" that has a thing for giving young girls in his care baths, with special attention to their private parts, and everyone over there thinks he not a pervert. Not one single story of his is without the bathing of little girls. Yeah, tell me that's perfectly innocent.

Don't read him either, even went back and removed "likes" from the parts I did read.

yuck. I know I get close to the line of going beyond PG13 but that is really gross.

Truthfully that's why I vented here. In all fairness, that writer is doing something I don't/can't; putting up stories and exposing himself to critique.
The other thing is it was a sort-of back handed compliment to the cadre of writers that has formed here; I've been spoiled by the quantity, quality and variety. I'm not sure how that came to be but I've always thought quality attracted the same and this platform is the pinnacle site in the prep genre for me.
