Just a heads up that tonight I'm going to post the beginning of a new story by Annie.
However....
If you'll just allow me to get on my soapbox for a minute: I have run this site for years without any monetary compensation (in fact, I pay money for the webhosting). I've written dozens of stories for the site, also with no monetary compensation. Other authors have also contributed many great stories with no monetary compensation. I can't afford to pay the authors for their work, so the only payment they will ever receive is your comments.
I know from my webcounters that a lot of people are reading these new stories. So if you are enjoying them, I suggest that when the authors ask for feedback, you take the time to say a kind word or two. Otherwise, I can tell you from experience that the stories are going to dry up again. If you don't want to post on the board, you can email me the comments at paradevo@yahoo.com and I promise I will pass them on to the appropriate authors.
On a more positive note, thank you to everyone who has been sending me submissions lately.

Would there be a more organised way we could have to comment; since the stories are posted on a seperate portion of the site, it can be hard for some to make comments on a whole different part of the site. Maybe, when a new story is posted, but a Comments thread on the Story Forum? Or build a comment box function in the story section (if there isn't already, but as far as I knew there wasn't).

OK, I actually posted the story this time. I was waiting on a tagline, but I gave up.
