Sorry for the delay in posting. Occasionally life gets in the way. In any case, it's time for a new section to the story. This one is a bit longer, so it is being broken into three pieces. Let's see how it works out.
I've been on SOL for just shy of 18 years, and I have to say how impressed I am by the way the site has improved. I am not talking about the stories themselves. There were some great stories then and some great stories now, and there was some schlock then and some schlock now. I can probably put my own work in both categories. However, the technical aspects of the site have continually improved. Under Authors/Editors are numerous methods for an author to now fix or modify a story. The sections for Manage Stories and Story Stats are especially useful. This is great stuff and all authors should appreciate the improvements. Thank you, Lazeez!
