Two years ago, we learned the sad news that Xalir had left us.Some admirable work was done and we got to see some of his final works published. It was great to see that one final good bye.
Two years ago also brought a Christmas miracle in the way of a chapter from Cood Creek. So as one great author moved one, it seemed like one from the past had returned. Maybe this year, he'll honor us again?
Last year saw Don Lockwood announce his return and a promise to finish what had long been left dormant. Maybe this year we'll see something of his renewed presence here? I love Rewind. I'd love an ending but there is also something poetic about not being finish.
Raven Soule also let us know he wouldn't be finishing his stories and other authors would take on the epic task.Tycoon is the one I await for baited breath for. Something about that story caught me up and swept me along with its ebbs and flows.
Last year is also the last time I have seen anything fro Jay Cantrell. Epic author of epic sagas. In that time I've re-read all his finished works and lined for the continuation of Learning Curves and Andy and Riley adventure.
Jay if you're out there please let us know you're well. Forget the stories, your blog tells us the world needs people like you in it and I for one would like to know you still are. After all 2020 has taken so many, entering 2021 knowing you're still here would be music to many a fan here on SOL.
And should be inclined, I'd love you to visit Emerald Cove again. To complete the redemption of his first wife.
Anyway, Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and may 2021 be epically awesome for everyone.
I posted the story last night. I got some quick feedback from you all that I needed and editor.
Thankfully, a few stepped up and offered to help. And and updated version of the story has been posted.
There are some great people in this community.
Happy New Year Everyone.
I thought at this time, it would be a good time to remember the stories on here by authors that are no longer around.
Be they like Rachael Ross, Xalir and Wes Boyd and they have passed on. Or authors like MysterWriter and Raven Soul that can't continue. Or authors that left us, wondering about what happened (Don Lockwood) would come to mind here.
There are some great stories by some great authors, ones we shouldn't forget and should strive to ensure that new readers here get to see and pass on to others.
Take the time to read one of these stories. To post about it. Pass on what you love about them or the influence they've had on your own storytelling.
I just re-read Third Time's A Charm from Xalir. It's a tearjerker with a good ending. Left me wishing he had been around long enough to finish My Journey. Selfish, I know.
What will you read? Rachael Ross' Tag! stories? (I'm surprised that we've only had two Tag! stories by other authors)
Maybe check out the unfinished works. Raven Soul's Tycoon will frustrate because you'll feel it's so close to ending and you'll really want to know how it ends for his characters. Don Lockwood's Rewind might be his greatest work, if only it had been completed.
Anyway, Happy Thanksgiving.
Really pleased to see Xalir pick up the Lifetime Achievement Award. His entire body of work was top notch and happy to see that rewarded sadly for likely the last time.
Thank you for offering up his unfinished works.
Please open up a way for people to contact you.
I offer my humble services for editing. However I'm sure better than me will also step forward.
