I hope there's still room left in the official re-launch lineup for them... With all of the anticipation I've been hearing for all of the new stories, I can't wait to see what everyone thinks!

Yup!

See this thread here.

No. We are not going to start a new thread every time we get a new story. If you wish to make one feel free and there is a spot on the forums for it but we have other things to do.

Dear Cainanite,

This is really a reply to a private message you sent me, oh, a long time ago. I don't seem to have the facility for replying to private messages - don't know why.

Anyway, I'm still in the land of the living, tho' nearly 80, and would be delighted for you to make whatever use you wish, of characters/events/locations in the "Simon" series. I see you've already borrowed Melanie and the Lemon Tree cafe. Shall enjoy reading your version.

Hey C van D,

That's terrific to know.

Yes, I stole Melanie, the Lemon Tree Cafe, and the name of a certain baseball team (I mention the ball team in passing in a middle chapter.). Melanie, and the Cafe show up in the epilogue of my novel. From the moment I started writing, I knew that she had to be there. Her ability to spot a boy-eunuch from a mile off was indispensable. If it wasn't Melanie, it would have had to be someone exactly like her.

I'd have loved to be able to communicate with you before I wrote it. I had wondered what Melanie's last name was. It took a lot of digging through your writing to come up with it. It came down to either Melanie Scott-Swanson, or just Melanie Swanson. I chose the latter, because it was easier to write.

I hope I was true to your character. I sort-of like to think my stories and yours exist in a similar universe.

When I first started writing, I had the idea to use old Doctor Gellar again, but you and Paolo had already completed her story, better than I ever could. Instead, I split Gellar into two characters, and resolved them separately. It was a bit of inspiration I couldn't have had without you.

Thank-you for that.

Incidentally, I love your latest contribution. "Ricky Takes Charge". You never fail to impress.

Cheers,

Cainanite

If you want to submit it, I'll see if there is a way for me to upload it.

What about some german stories. In the last weeks I translated some parts of "Sanders storie", by the San Carlos cronicles and now, I'd would like to publish some parts, if I can.

I'll have to experiment with submitting non-English stories. I don't think there will be a problem, but I won't know until I try. Send em to me, and I'll see what I can do.

Hey Cainanite

Thanks again for putting this all back together. Question though, I still have a few previously published stories that haven't been restored yet. Would it be less work for you if they were just re-submitted as new stories or would this just confuse the issue. Anything we can do to lighten the load let me know.

Cheers Mandler
