Sounds a bit like "Starting Small" by Lazlong.arargh wrote:Looking for a story I thought I read on SOL.
The main character was an engineer at an industrial automation firm (they made and installed things like convoyer systems). He left the company (or was fired) because the company wanted to use cheaper parts that what he specified on his designs. He started his own company doing smaller jobs that his ppoe did.
That's about all I can remember of the story.
Ring any bells for anyone?
Yup, that's it. I had thought that it was a multi-chapter story, and so I was looking in the wrong place on my drive.
Doesn't ring a bell, but would like to know myself.kabalman2000 wrote:Young girl, excellent guitarist, whole extended family are really, ?Basque decent? (or Portuguese or Spanish), family guitar given to her by grandfather, turns out to be worth 6 figures, all the family guitars do, has to keep it in a instrument storage facility and get a new guitar ... Don't remember if it is a completed story or not. Any ideas?
That second one sounds like Remix by Detroitmechworks.That, of course triggered a second one which I know is on SOL and am searching for (futilely at the moment) about a boy who has a motorcycle accident, meets a god, agrees to a one letter change to relive things, and takes up the guitar, step father is abusive. Help appreciated.
It is indeed Remix. Thank you.samuelmichaels wrote:That second one sounds like Remix by Detroitmechworks.

It goes like this: Young girl, a prodigy scientist is blown up during her experiment and her mind thrown back in time into a body of a young boy who is mildly autistic, they start developing patents together. Please help, it's starting to drive me mad.
Sounds like Gina Marie Wylie's S&W.45, posted both on SOL and BTFH (both require free registration).kabalman2000 wrote:I'm pretty sure this used to be on the "most popular" list at SOL.
A teen boy's parents are murdered and the only one who he can be put in with is his cousin in Malibu. He turns out to run a hugely popular anime site. Then somebody tries to complete the job. They have to go into hiding. Last place anyone would look is army so she gets stuck in there as a 1lt. Gets sent to Iraq. More people try to kill her. Turns out it's another relative that started erasing herself and everyone who knew her and trying to take over the world. Female masquerading as male. Everyone is corrupt.
And quite exact, too.lagomilo wrote:Looking for a story about a salesman. His car breakdown and he tries to make a phone call in a bar.
