Okay, let's all have it. Follow Dennis' "rules". Cheif curmudgeons can be snotty when riled. The idea is to write as "bad" a story as we can manage here... It was a dark & stormy night. From the throes of an empassioned dream, Sarah awoke; pulse thready from the uncertainty of knowing if she was...

Sorry, it's been a bit hectic the last couple of days, so I've not had time to do more work. Spent most of today doing a 'run around the hospital for tests' with DH & am fighting another fricking mouth abcess myself. Easy to deal with but... OWIE! Working on next chapter now. Please...

Okay I'll confess, I forgot I started that. Now I stand before you humbled & awed. I do that a lot anyway, but you should still be proud. Now I'm a mediocre hack at best with keyboard or pen. But you, you sir, (or madam), are inspiringly DREADFUL. I mean it truly takes brilliant wit to write...

This was written as a prologue to a Super-Flu PAW story. I added the last bit to fit it in with my zombie stories. It is a stand alone short showing the spread of an infection from just one vector. (the running count is the number of people that catch it from him and does not include those who...

There are lots of zombie stories out there, a huge percentage have the military as the bad guys, particularly the National Guard. Either they go rogue, are part of the 'conspiracy', or are tools of the political class. I don't think anyone who writes those stories has ever met anyone who served in...

I've posted the first part of the next story in my ZPAW series, 'Karma'. (Up in the members only section, so you'll have to log in to see it.) There are a lot of zombie stories out there where the characters act callously, selfishly or downright evil. They usually justify these actions to...

I've finished posting Karma, and am trying to decide what to post next. I have 'The Letter' a 13,000 word Christmas story, and 'Marla' A 37,000 word novella (this one while rated 'M' for mature, due to violence and sexual situations. is still tamer than the romances you can pick up at...

This story got away from me a little, one of the main characters in the outline didn't even show up. (He took one look at what was happening, and he left town). This is the most explicit story I've ever written, but it is still tamer than the romances on the shelves at walmart. It is a 37,000...

Not a 'Zombie Christmas Story', but a Christmas story with zombies.

Just a little something for the season: Frosty the Corpsman, was a trigger-happy troop. With a baseball bat and a .45, and grenades slung on a loop. Frosty the Corpsman,

This one is unfinished, but I'm up to 60k words. Hopefully I'll be able to complete it so that there aren't long posting delays. You have seen some of the characters before in other stories. http://www.timebomb2000.com/vb/showthread.php?396085-Children-s-Crusade&p=4261084#post4261084

Anyone have a copy (full) of this? Can't recall where i downloaded the one i have, it only goes to the end of Chapter 50. I have no idea if this was just left hanging, as happens to many stories, but would love to have the rest if it is out there. Plot covers the complete economic collapse of...

CFI has a nice story going, this thread (hopefully its appropriate) can be used for comments, so the story stays clean. Looks like a good start, Chap

Hi This one started out with the guy going to the mall. When he gets there he notices some muslims coming in. They draw guns and so does he. He kills them...then the gov. tries to pin it on him. He is wounded. It's not an old story but would like to locate the author & story title thx...

Does Scrachline have any new stories anywhere? Thanks!

Does anyone have the links of Pac's stories in order? Thanks!

Does anyone know where Kathy has gone too??? Has she just decided to quit writing or health problems with her diabetes? Hope she returns soon. I miss her wit and great writing. Cheyenne

I've been working on this for a few months now. Hopefully y'all will enjoy it. Courage is the art of being the only one who knows you're scared to death ~ Harold Wilson Chapter 1 The stalls were cleaned, the stock fed and watered and she had walked the southern fence with Jake. No...

Comments are greatly appreciated, and will be printed out for framing and ego-stroking and my husband's vast amusement.

Chapter 1 She had always wanted a tattoo. If she could find one that made the statement, 'I am a housewife only barely on the young side of thirty with far too many recipes involving ground sirloin but none of that means I am not still youthful and hip and relevant,' she would have gotten one...

All right, I want it understood right at the outset that just because I have two stories, both with female main characters pivotal to the storyline, does NOT mean I write nothing except chick survival fiction. :lol: This story is undergoing an edit in anticipation of being shopped around to...

Life went rather spectacularly BOOM the day after my last post. Descriptions would probably be TMI, as few here know me all that well. Suffice it to say that it was extremely bad and extremely personal. My apologies for not leaving a note to warn of a hiatus, I will be getting back to work on my...

I Can't Remember! Just a line to say I'm living, that I'm not among the dead, though I'm getting more forgetful and mixed up in the head. I got used to my arthritis, to my dentures I'm resigned, I can manage my bifocals

DISCLAIMER: I did not write this. It has been floating around the web for a long time. I do not know the author, but koodo's to him. So there I was....what really happens to tactical "tools" in a fight ________________________________________ As I was leaving my house I stuffed my Glock...

A little one off put together awhile back- I guess with the third anniversary of the Great Seacouver quake coming up, I’ll go ahead and tell you our story. It was a simple summer workday like any other. I was in town picking up some groceries at the new market down by the waterfront. My...

HELP! We need a sheepdog to protect us from the democrats!

When did I last tell her I love her? I lit another cigarette, took a deep drag, remembered I was in a non-smoking area and crushed it out. I can’t believe this is happening. Was this my fault? Do they remember I’m out here?

End of the Season I could see the tears of frustration and anger in their eyes as they left the court, and I wondered what magical words I would come up with that could take away the sting of losing the state championship match this afternoon. It had been a long and rough season. Not quite...

Opening Day I was ten years old, and dying to shoot something. All the previous summer, my dad had taught me how to shoot, and care for a rifle, and what tracks different animals made, and all of the other lore that generations before had passed along to their heirs. Hunting season was...

Save The Last Dance For Me He caught her eye across the room, and winked. She smiled shyly and returned her attention to her drink. "Well, Ernie, what are you waiting for?" he asked himself. "An engraved invitation?" Then the self-talk began, all of the doubts, fears and insecurities...

Whatcha think? Comments please! :)

I was really getting into it and lost it. Does anyone remember the story of the truck driver who stopped at a Walmart on the way home to pick up a few things. He had stopped in Hampton GA. Anybody? Thanks!

I am trying to locate 2 stories from the cheap Sciuridae tree before they chop off the branches. The first one the main character has a wife that is in a wheel chair and the last thing I had read was he had just found his kids at his parents house but his parents were not there. The second...

I wish you had started one. Well, here it is.

Love it or hate it, please put your comments here.

I have said I'm disappointed with the number of comments, good or bad, from posting book seven. I am trying again. Book eight is up and lets see what happens.

PLEASE put them here. Countless times people have commented on the threads. I'm hoping this time it won't happen.
