Ciao,

Hope everyone is well and writing wonderful stories!

Today, I met a neighbor. She's like very popular in this town. I heard about her many times, but didn't know she lived nearby. I was introduced to her by my neighbor and as we talked I told her I was writing a novel and so on. She also writes! She told me about this board, which I told her I already met wonderful people here and she told me that she learned a lot from a man some call 'uncle Jim'. Another neighbor switched the conversation, so I don't know where to look.

Does he have a site I can study? :e2cat:

Speaking of cults...Mr. Haskin's has his own here as well. His minions don't mind the biting too much.

I'm moving it to FAQs. Maybe it'll motivate the mod there to make an FAQ re: the Macdonald.

ETA: No, I'm not. Someone's already moved it to novels. And didn't leave a note :D

Oopsie. That would be me. But feel free to move it and make a Macdonald FAQ, Dawno. :D

I'm not putting anything in FAQs - I'm afraid of that moderator.

The Thread title alone attracts - never mind the content.

That's not very starship captain-ish.

Nope, it's not. I've got a better sense of self-preservation.

Back on Topic, Steph you may also find the search helpful. It is along the top blue bar by the New Posts Link and Quick Links. Not that you need to search for Uncle Jim NOW, but ifyou have other questions you might try searching for key words and seeing if there is already a thread with your questions. You can always add to old threads.
