Hi Netwolf,
In short Sibling Rivalry is brilliant. I understand the meaning of 'inactive' so this post is just simply an addition to the current "petition" for the continuation....sorry
My comments?....Well one small issue is towards the end of chapter 2 where Dawn throws Nathan out, I understand her attitude and the reason(s) but the way it was portrayed made me feel really sorry for the kid ok i know that was intentional but at times reading that made me feel like it was a bit much or too intense...not a real problem really just somthing i felt Positively i love the way that although effectivley Nathan gets kicked out Dawn still showed motherly care as she made sure he had supplies (chips) to survive with...she gave him all she had.
I must say the detail i've found in both CRJ and it's sequel are unmatched and beautifully well written. Compliments to the chef for a great meal of words without the mincing....lmao

Seems to me I ran into the same deadend chapter a year or two ago. Are you going to post any more of this story? I re-read the first story - and was really looking forward to the sequel.

Great start for a new series.
CAMP has gone pretty far in the details, it has all the makings of becoming a CAMP-universe. Especially now, at this point, after the war... Any author could take a new character, base it in Europe or something, and have a blast of local adventures with the Ability.
Would you mind if that happened, Oh Great And Glorious Net Wolf?
Not that I'm capable of writings fit to stand in the universe you created (I never seem to be able to decently communicate in words what it is my fantasy brings up), but I thought by posting here I might give authors who may be up to the task a gentle nudge towards this idea. After all, as long as the stories remain local, they wouldn't interfere much with your Main StoryLine, would they? A Main StoryLine which I do hope will... But you know that

People have been asking me this question for years. My answer has never changed: So long as you're willing to play by my rules, you can write a story in the CAMP universe. Unfortunately, though several have professed interest, to my knowledge, no one has yet to complete a story. Enterprise started a CAMP story, which is available on his website, but for reasons I have no intention of dredging up now, the storyline he'd intended is now considered non-canonical. Doesn't mean the story he has so far isn't worth reading, though. Shadow King... or whatever the hell Matrix Legion is calling himself these days... has repeatedly attempted to write a CAMP story, but he can't stick around online long enough to get anywhere. There are others, whose names I don't remember.
Anyway, sure, if someone wants to write in the CAMP universe, all they have to do is ask me for the rules... and then actually abide by them.

Just in case I do attempt to get my thoughts translated to chars, what would those rules be?
Offline
*sigh* I knew you were going to ask that. Do you really need to know, or are you just curious?
Net Wolf

Mainly just curious.
Of course there's the obvious: stay away from your characters, no major world-influencing events, stay local, no spectacular new powers with the Ability, no aliens, don't change historic events from your stories, etc. etc.
Basically, make sure you still have total freedom for Sibling Rivalry.
Anything I haven't covered?
Offline
Yeah. No characters with a psion rating over 14. I reserve all the super-powerful characters for myself.

If I knew that, it would not be labeled "Inactive".

I'm constantly amazed that several people cannot understand what it means when Eric - Net - Ice - Net - Whitestar CLEARLY STATES for the 49th time that the story is INACTIVE. Jesus People! If you want him to write - then help him with the site. pay off some of his medical bills and give him a salary. Hell - if I could afford to do so - I would come down the the warmer South and do the damn dishes if he promised to write more. (Yeah - I live closer to Warlord and there is another 10.5 inches predicted again) The man has enough plates spinning in the air as it is. Oh, and Mr Storm sir... I personally feel that the name Net Storm would have been Perfect. Kinda a marriage between the two worlds. Just an opinion.
That rant out of my system - I do have one question. Since I am not a fan of PayPal - do you have a physical address to send in for the hard copy account? If you wish you can send it to my e-mail account and it will go no further. I want mine autographed though. I plan to contibute about $75 - $100 to the fund depending on uncle sugars refund.
BTW - I'm never confused cuz it's a normal part of my universe

When you're ready to make the contribution, email me directly.
And yes, Net Storm is kind of cool, but Eric Storm is a "person name", and that's what I wanted. I didn't want my pseudonym to be something that people would look at you funny for calling me in public.
Oh, and I didn't have a problem with homilife's post. He didn't demand to know when I'd write more, he just enthusiastically entreated me to do so.

"Enthusiatically entreated" - I like it, I wasn't referencing homilife directly but the general theme of the encouragement. If people had taken the time to read throught the threads, and asking a question one has answered quite a few times, they would get the general idea that the stories listed as "inactive" are exactly that - inactive.
I kind of got PO'd that some people are worried only about their own wants, instead of thinking that you are running a web site, dealing with medical issues,and trying to get a hardback published. It's kind of like your kids, sitting in the back seat on a long trip, asking "Are we there yet?" "Are we there yet?" "Are we there yet?" every 10 minutes.
I will e-mail you when uncle sugar lets me know how much of the war I have to pay for.

(Answer me honestly - how many times have you answered that particular question?)

Please read this entire thread as penance for asking that question.

I don't mind it being labeled inactive. One of my stories was inactive for two years before I posted a new chapter. I won't be heartbroken unless it is labeled abandoned. I have really enjoyed Camp: Ron'r Journey to the point I was wishing I was Ron. LOL Keep up the good work eric.

The likelihood of ANY of my stories being labeled Abandoned is next to nil. Heck, even A Mother's Slavery has a new chapter in the Pre-Release section, and I hadn't worked on that for something like five years.

Good work, Eric! I've read almost everything you wrote, and not a single story ceased to enthrall me. You're definitly the best! Though I'm really looking forward to see more of CSR, I wouldn't rush you to do so. Just take this as an encouragement to finish whatever you're currently working on.
And, maybe the question is a little off topic; would anything you finish in the future be in your ASSTR FTP directory? It's the easiest way for me to get your stories/novels.
I sincerely wish you luck with everything.
The Rogue.

My ASSTR FTP directory is up-to-date for publicly available TXT format files. None of the Pre-Release Material is there, and won't be until it goes public. Be aware that my ASSTR site is intentionally delayed by a week.
Thanks for your interest,
Eric

Started reading "Camp" months ago and enjoyed it immensly as far as I got. Would like now to get back to it, but can't find it anywhere. Has it been disscontinued? I may have found the original on EWP, but that's just a guess. This is a new hard drive, as my ancient PC crashed and burned. Any help would be really appreciated. Thnx.
