Every time my wife and MIL head up to Maryland to spend Christmas with the kids and grandkids, I'm stuck with the 17 year incontinent cocker spaniel

I have readers who use favorites to bookmark my stories. I'll see my total of favorites shoot up, then a few days later they'll drop. He unfavorites them when he's done reading.
I guess my stories are so memorable he doesn't need to keep them bookmarked.

I believe adding to private lists also shows up as favoriting in your feed.

It's 3:25. C and I just finished our Thanksgiving dinner. Everything is rinsed off and carefully stacked in the dishwasher and anything else put away. The table is clear. The dog is quietly napping in the corner of my office, taking in the afternoon sun. Football is on the TV, muted, but I'm not watching, just waiting for C to holler, "What the f...!"
Suck it, everyone!

I am going to hit the next person who says my daughter "has to" finish this glass of wine someone gave her.
Its her THIRD. She's SIXTEEN. Christ people.

Making me recall T-day dinners when I was a teen. My sister and I were allowed to have a small amount of wine in a real wine stem. I shudder - Manischewitz. OMG. Tart grape juice. My folks were not especially sophisticated, as it seems.

As a recovering alcoholic who developed my issues when I was 16, I want to scream at them from way over here.

I am newly sober. Theyre driving me nuts.

Congratulations. I had seen your posts about it earlier. There are few of us on here scattered among the whiskey drinkers. I passed my half century of no hard alcohol last month.

As someone who doesn't really enjoy alcohol, I can't even imagine. But that behavior would drive me nuts too, so I can guess that it would be even worse for you.

Urgh! I knew people at Uni who were like that "Go on - have another, what's wrong with ya?" which would be my cue to leave. I think they played rugby.

I might ask each of you some writing advice - one of my MCs is newly sober. It did lead me to do quite a bit of research, which I found really interesting. The spark for my story came from The Outrun, by Amy Liptrot - herself a recovering alcoholic.

Just checking on all you literoticers. The first shows are running, not a bad day so far, not as good as before the pandemic. But not bad! Hope all is well.

Well, it's my last Friday at work, and I don't know how I feel. On one hand I'm looking forward to getting the hell out of here, but I'll miss many of the people.
Then I look at my new contract and the location.

Welcome to our retreat from reality! A forum like this on the Sci-Fi Channel web site in the previous century is where I started writing fan fiction on the Farscape Forum. Good friends, intriguing conversations... The plot bunnies here come fast and furious, careful where you step!

I quit drinking four years ago--almost to the day. I drank beer and wine rather than hard liquor.

Omg I loved Farscape! I was too young for it (about 12) when it first aired but I recently binged the whole series in about a month. Good stuff!
I struggle with fanfiction and Im not sure why. Maybe it feels too much like writing real people? I've tried a few times and it just peters out.

I got a good 500 words in this morning. That's not a lot, but I was about to write the next scene but didn't really know what I wanted to do with it, so those 500 words came with a lot of thinking.
This week the mornings have been my best times. I wake up feeling great but by lunch the chills and aches come back. The good news is that these last two days have been better, so my hope is that I'll feel good enough to get another writing session in today.
