Stories I Will Never Finish

Catman ๐Ÿšซ

My short-term memory left me a long time ago and I have several unfinished stories. One of them has a little over 100,000 words complete. I sent it to Ernest Bywater about a year ago for some help and I'm sure he would have got me going again.
I seem to have caught whatever cmsix had because I have several 3 chapter unfinished stories laying around that have story lines different than most. I wouldn't want to give them to someone with no stories on SOL but, anyone else that is interested let me know what your thoughts are.

NOTE TO Lazeez, if I have broken any rules by posting this, I'm sure you know where the delete button is, and we will all know better.

Since you're rather obviously giving permission, there would be no issues.

I couldn't tell you when I could get to finishing them, but I'd be willing to take a look at them.

@Catman

Just for clarification and for reference later on, in case anyone questions things, I have received permission to rewrite, edit, and post these stories from my account, giving Catman credit when I do so. I'm posting this notice simply due to the assorted questions we've had regarding copyright that have come up.

My unfinished stories were indeed given to StarFleet Carl to do whatever he wishes. If he gives me credit, that's fine, if he does not, that is also fine. I am suffering from both Cranial Fatigue, and Malignant Ignorance and I hope my brain stays with me long enough to read them.

I believe SOL's rules are clear - Catman is entitled to 50% credit of any stories you complete, like oyster50 for continuations of his 'Overboard' story.

Well, since I'm not an asshole, I already said I'd give him credit. I believe he simply making it clear that he had given me permission to finish or rework the stories he's sent to me, and due to his own problems, didn't care one way or the other.

I hope you are able to enjoy what StarFleet Carl does with your stories, and many other stories as well.

It is generous for you to entrust your stories to another to complete them. I believe we will all benefit. Thank you Catman.

Looking forward to more "Catman Stories" even if completed by other authors. Here is a review I wrote about one of them.

"The Dirt Daubers by Catman
Author's Description:
Book 4 is a stand alone story but will tie in with the " If I Had A Boat" series at the beginning of book 5. I have had some editing help on this one and it should be easier for you grammar guys to read. You normal people should have no problem. So, lets fire up the bulldozer and dig a hole.

Catman has another winner with The Dirt Daubers. There isn't much sex. Food porn describes cooking and eating meals. Gun porn talks about various weapons and ammunition and their use. Well now there is earthmoving equipment porn in this story covering bulldozers, graders, bob cats, trailers, and a wide variety of other equipment and how it is used and maintained. I wonder if Lubrican has written a story about Bob cats?

There are real characters who get real jobs done. Its interesting and I liked it.

It flows like other Catman stories. Like an avalanche of information that just keeps going and going like the energizer bunny. Its shorter than his other stories, only two chapters. It is going to lead to another story with these characters that will be set in Belize, where his other (boat) stories were set, mostly.

Lets do the numbers. Plot is an 8, excellent, an A in my grading system. I am not sure I am on top of everything that happened, and it was only two chapters. I liked the characters, and there are plenty of them. Technical Quality is an 8, excellent, an A the way I score things.

Appeal to reviewer is, surprise, another 8. There has been some discussion on the Forum about Catman's approach to reader criticism, basically he is against it. I suggest you don't email him if you didn't like it. If you do, he probably will ask why did you read it? He told us not to.

I think you will like it if you read it, unless you found his earlier stories didn't appeal to you. This is the same sort of thing he wrote before but without the boats.

Plot: 8 | Technical Quality: 8 | Appeal to Reviewer: 8"

Every story, he is most definitely a pussy lover.
