Galloway Sucks, Edit: impatient reader, post=jest

[Brian]

Well, i'd simply like to say that, what i hate in this world more than anything is a soapie.. why?

Simple, you know how they catch your attention and then just leave you hanging until the next episode and the worst part is that they do it for almost EVERY episode?  Well.... thats what i hate

Only thing i hate more than soapies is a bad book, cause i always have to finish reading a book i start.

Only thing i hate worse than a bad book, is a GOOD book that is still being written.

Worst part about my whole dilemma is the fact that i have read two books by Mr Galloway and i like them both but it's like.. they're still works in progress and the only thing i can do is sit here and wonder when the next installment comes out and i'm thinking that if i could just slip my hands round the authors neck and snap it like a twig i would cause both books are going to keep bothering me til i finish reading them!

There i've now said my two cents

Mr Galloway is a busy person if you cant wait for the next part of his story and treat the man with some respect for the entertainment he provides then read something else. Everybody else who wait on the next part do so without making death threats try acting a little more mature.

You could also not read any of the stories "in Progress" and only read the completed books, you did it to yourself..

Well it seems to me that someone lacks patience...
There is no reason to be so rude and aggresive to someone who has spent valuable free time to provide us with stories of which are of good quality not to mention interesting and entertaining. Few online stories are as good Fel's stories here. So don't go dissing him just because u have no patience to wait for new chapters... You can just sit on ur posterior and wait until Fel finishes the book before reading it......

Patience is a virtue but it seems you don't have neither patience nor virtues... >:(

If I may add my 2 cents   theres an old saying 'Beggers can`t be choisey' . Something simular should be said about we who read FREE STORIES  on the web .These author do not get paid for their work .They have to  balence work ,life and writing. A lot of them also pay  for the web pages we read the stories on. and Out of their own pockets I may add.We owe them our respect  at  the verry least .for what they do. I`m not crazy about having to wait but I would rather wait then have my favorite  authors give up because someone   is rude to them .

I thought it would be more that: Soapies have poor writing, predictable plots (if they have any), lack of character development - or for that matter: total lack of character DEPTH.

Fel's books I certainly wouldn't say that about.

As for your obvious impatience:
If you're so eager to get the next chapter, why not pony up the cash equivilent to what Fel does/would earn upon him completing the current university course. I'm sure if you handed over, say, USD$60,000/year Fel might write full time, rather than "as time+energy+mood+creativity permits"


Now, please, stop making death threats against Fel.

Hey all. Now I don't know if this topic was started as a joke or not,(personally, I'm pretty sure it was) but the title of it is just plain wrong. How about one of you moderator types changing it to something else? Can you do that? If not, then just delete the whole thread, cause I don't think Fel needs to see that title every time he checks the board for new posts.

I absolutely agree , post like this tends to kill the creativity spirit. And i am sure we all agree we don't want the next installment to be delayed just because we could not be patient.

I've given Fel death threats before and have never been called down for it, why don't you pick on me damn it, I want to be picked on!  :(

Spec: not sure about the paying him thing, it might help a bit but Fel has said he writes for fun and if it was a job it wouldn't be so fun.

[Weresmilodon]

Well, if could just publish his books, it could be at least a part-time job, and help with bills and confort...

Depends.  What'd you threaten him for?  If it was for dissapearing on us for weeks at a time, then it's all good.  ;D
