100 BOOT LICK BOOT LICK IE THE SOCIETY OF,
|
||
101 There are many long time lurkers around here, but not all of them see history
|
||
102 the same way. Those who have earned so much praise at the expense of others
|
||
103 are members of an elite group. Stories went by via news paper snippits and
|
||
104 inter-office memos. This was unique at first, but many soon got tired of UPI
|
||
105 newswire entries written with the succint smack of an over worked editor.
|
||
106 These same writers gave back handed comments to the authors of the more
|
||
107 traditional prose statements. "Your stuff is too long" they said. "Your
|
||
108 entries are too conventional" they said. I wonder if Thomas Hardy and Emily
|
||
109 Dickenson had to contend with such short sighted comments also? There is
|
||
110 room for all styles. Never should one style be excluded to the expense of
|
||
111 any other. Never should one style be praised to the expense of any other.
|
||
112 The comments on the last disk are the resurgence of this regretable attitude.
|
||
113 Did anyone notice that the other long time lurker used a margin very similar
|
||
114 to the writer so highly acclaimed in the entry? Beyond coincidence, this is
|
||
115 purely a case of patting one's self one one's back. Questionable conduct on
|
||
116 a system where catharsis is looked down on. Perhaps if we could all learn
|
||
117 to be temperant of other's styles, and stick with writing instead of
|
||
118 belittling what we don't agree with, the atmosphere here would clear and
|
||
119 new writers would not feel so bullied.

122 He walked into THE INN, looked around for a friendly face... and didn't see
|
||
123 one. He took a chair that was most close to the fireplace, pulled it back,
|
||
124 and draped his heavy fur coat over the back of it. "Inn-keep, housewine,
|
||
125 please. Oh, and a meal, too, if you please." His voice was clear: It
|
||
126 commanded attention. He sat down.
|
||
127 He was a traveller, cleaner then most... no lice. Dust covered his knee-
|
||
128 high black boots, whose worn heels indicated that he had been walking for
|
||
129 sometime. He wore brown trousers, of a durrible make, a forest green shirt
|
||
130 with long loose sleeves, and a brown vest. His long smooth features were
|
||
131 broken only by a small, but noticable scar on his right cheek.
|
||
132 He looked up as the inn-keeper drew closer. The inn-keeper carried a
|
||
133 glass of reddish thick liquid in one hand, and a plate of steaming stew in
|
||
134 the other. The fare was laid before the stranger and a hand was held out
|
||
135 to recieve the coins that the stranger was already reaching for.
|
||
136 "That should do it," the stranger said. "The names Lelund Falstarr, and
|
||
137 if you've got the time and the inclanation later, I have a story to tell.
|
||
138 I'll also be needing a room for a while... if it is possible, that is."

144 "There...finished. I can hardly believe that five days of work was necessary
|
||
145 to repair two minutes of arcing. Good thing the supply rooms are well stocked.
|
||
146 I'll have to refill them, later."
|
||
147 As if on cue from the Doctor's words, the very familiar "swish-thunk" became
|
||
148 audible in the control room. A large crate materialized near the console.
|
||
149 "And what have we here? A present, and it's nowhere near Christmas time.
|
||
150 Or is it? No, time gauge says not. Were you expecting a package, Milch?"
|
||
151 "No, of course not."
|
||
152 "Perhaps I can explain, Master." A familiar cybernetic voice waifed over the
|
||
153 crate. A second later, K-9 rolled into view.
|
||
154 "K-9! And where have you been, my errant android? By the looks of the crate,
|
||
155 I'd say you've taken a vacation on Gallifrey."
|
||
156 "I have been on Gallifrey, Master. The Council sent you a Rudder."
|
||
157 "So THAT's where that 'black box' came from! I'd wondered about that. Seems
|
||
158 every time they get into trouble they send me off to do their dirty work.
|
||
159 How did they know about my friends? And what's in the crate?"
|
||
160 "I have been told that the Council became aware of a massive disturbance in
|
||
161 the Vortex, near several major travel routes. It was decided that you were
|
||
162 the best choice for the job. The crate contains spare parts for any damage
|
||
163 the TARDIS may have sustained, plus a newly-developed transport circuit to be
|
||
164 attached to the console circuits."
|
||
165 "Well, Milch, don't just stand there. Help me put these parts away, and
|
||
166 we'll celebrate our good fortune together. Er, K-9, a new circuit, did you
|
||
167 say? Does it have a particular designation?"
|
||
168 "Affirmative, Master. It is called a Skip circuit. Full function is unknown.
|
||
169 A transmat device equipped with such a circuit was necessary to send me here."
|
||
170 "Possibly the scientists on Gallifrey have finally discovered planal travel,
|
||
171 Doctor. It would be wise to inform them that other universes have their own
|
||
172 equivalents to Timelords, and that travel between should be avoided if at all
|
||
173 possible. Such travel, though, could provide an escape route if a particularly
|
||
174 dangerous situation should develop..."
|
||
175 The Doctor considered. "Install it, K-9. Milch, in the meantime, we have to
|
||
176 rely on your archaic mumbo-jumbo. I'm itchin' to rest my feet awhile, so to
|
||
177 speak. Shall we stop at the Inn?"
|
||
178 I smiled. "My pleasure, Doctor."

180 Ah, first half junk, second half the start of a couple of good stories. And even
|
||
181 a part of a remaining controversy or too. Nope, there's no BBS quite like this
|
||
182 BBS...
|
||
183
|
||
184 And to that dope with the devilish comments, you may think it's funny now, and
|
||
185 get a kick out of being so "daring..." but you won't be so happy when you find
|
||
186 out the truth... we'll all find out sooner or later, but only those who bothered
|
||
187 to really listen to what this world means will be happy with the result.
|
||
188 This world is yours now perhaps, but it will soon fall apart. And when it does,
|
||
189 remember that it will not come close to comparing what awaits you in the next
|
||
190 world. If you know the dark side, you must know there has to be a light side.
|
||
191 And that darkness is VERY dark, and evil won't seem so fun when there is no one
|
||
192 to comfort you. And if you're just joking around, take a second and think that
|
||
193 perhaps it's not a joke, and you've just invited him into your life.
|
||
194 Now imagine the dirtiest, wickedest, scumiest person you can imagine, and go
|
||
195 up and hug him. Because that's just what you've done. It's not too late to turn
|
||
196 back... think about it.

203 A TYPICAL (ESPECIALLY MON.) morning.......
|

204
|
||
205 Ok this is how it usually goes... I'm lying in bed asleep when I'm rudely awak
|
||
206 end by the headache-giving rock music coming fron me clock radio. As I become
|
||
207 consious, I'm thinking, "God, make this be a dream," as the radio plays, "It's
|
||
208 just how ya feel, when ya know it's for real." When I have almost become comscio
|
||
209 us I reach over to turn the damn thing off. "Dont flip that switch, we got more
|
||
210 ar as I fumble for the switch.
|
||
211 After I finally manage to get out form under the soothing covers, I tromp
|
||
212 down to take a nice hot shower to wake me up. Afer about5 minutes of not getting
|
||
213 any closer to being awake, I realize that the relaxing hot water wont help me.
|
||
214 I decide to turnthe cold on mrore. Just
|
||
215
|
||
216 a little. Unfortunetly, at this hour of the morning, (about 7:30) I have no sens
|
||
217 e of "a little bit." AARRGHH!!! Every day the same thing.. At that pioint I
|
||
218 become fully awake as I freeze my buns
|
||
219 off. Then I turn it back too far and
|
||
220 go from freezing cold to searing hot. Giving up, I walk upstairs to get dressed
|
||
221 as I mutter about the knob being too precise.
|
||
222 After all that, I run through the freezing rain to the bus. And some people
|

223 wonder why I'm grumpy when I arrive

247 When James opened his eyes, it was still dark. His jaw ached miserably. His eyes finally focused on Tariya, sitting
|
||
248 on a rock beside him, holding a large stick in her hands. "You're not going to hit me with that?" He groaned.
|
||
249 "I might"
|
||
250 "Well, please don't. Hurts enough as it is." He rolled into a sitting position and blinked at the pretty patterns
|
||
251 forming in his eyeballs.
|
||
252 "You deserve it! Of all the cold-"
|
||
253 "Oh, c'mon. It's a helluva lot better than you might have gotten if something real nasty took a liking to you.
|
||
254 There's THINGS out there that would make those four drunks look like marshmellows in comparison!" Tariya still looked
|
||
255 stubborn. "Hell, I'M the one who's in pain! Did they hurt you? Did they get a chance? Is you're precious virginity
|
||
256 still intact?"
|
||
257 James had an inborn talent for hittng sore spots. Tariya hollered, "More intact than your skull's going to be!" and
|
||
258 brought the stick down on him.
|
||
259 Before it could connect, his hand shot up and grasped it like iron. The sturdy wood splintered to toothpicks in his
|
||
260 grip. "I'm not going to hit you, but that doesn't mean I'll let you make hamburger out of me."
|
||
261 She dropped the stick and put her face in her hands. Long moments later she looked at him again. "How did you know
|
||
262 I was a virgin?"
|
||
263 "You mean you ARE?" he asked in honest surprise. He ducked her boot as she kicked at him. "Calm down! It's just
|
||
264 that I thought I was the only one around." She didn't try to kick him again so he must have said the right thing. She
|
||
265 just sat there, looking betrayed and hurt. "Okay, this is what happened. I didn't want to take those guys in the
|
||
266 building because there were too many innocent bystanders. The last time I got into a fight with people like that I
|
||
267 literally tore the place apart. Honest to God, I was gonna follow you out but the damndest thing happened. Some geek
|
||
268 wearing boxer shorts and a cape and nothing else ran in through the door with a double barreled shotgun. He started
|
||
269 screaming at some rabbit that was sitting on a table near me and next thing I know he lets the poor bunny have it with
|
||
270 both barrels. Somehow he missed but he was gonna keep trying until he succeded even if he had to make swiss cheese out
|
||
271 of the whole place and everybody in it. I had to blow him away. Hell, you must have heard it. The whole TOWN must have
|
||
272 heard it."
|
||
273 "Yes..." she admitted, "I did hear it."
|
||
274 "After that I took right off after you. By the way, did you know there was a steamroller blocking the doorway?" She
|
||
275 replied dryly that she had noticed it on the way out. She'd latched on to it and the drunks had had to pry her loose.
|
||
276 "I honestly didn't mean for it to happen that way but it did. You didn't get hurt, though." He rubbed his jaw
|
||
277 again.
|
||
278 "No. But I'm still mad."
|
||
279 "Well, I'll have to be satisfied with that." He looked over at the inn. Warm light poured out through its windows.
|
||
280 Somebody was struggling to get in past the steamroller blocking the door. James wrinkled his brow in concentration and
|
||
281 Tariya suddenly felt great forces stirring. A cloud of dust blew from under the 'roller as it levitated several inches.
|
||
282 It slowly floated until it was well clear of the door, then landed with a heavy thud. James put a hand to his temple.
|
||
283 Now his whole head hurt. He sighed, "Well, I can't go back there. I think they're a little peeved about the mess I
|
||
284 left. 'sides," he said ruefully, "I wasn't too popular anyway since I let those drunks walk out with you without a
|
||
285 fight. So I'm gonna split. Are you coming with me or not?"
|
||
286 Tariya thought it over for quite a while. James didn't prod her further. Finally she said, "Okay. I guess so. But
|
||
287 you had better not do that again!"
|
||
288 "No promises." He said as he got up and brushed himself off. "You drag me down too much and I'll leave you at the
|
||
289 nearest available civilization."
|
||
290 "Fair enough." She replied grimly. Together they walked off into the darkness.

312 Now see, all you Philistines out there. The Destroyer comes in with a nice

313 little wrap-up, and a pretty stylish little bit of writing as well. Quick
|

314 critisms often lead to red faces, so next time, here 'im out, give a mild
|
||
315 suggestion or two, but otherwise don't be so quick to pull the trigger. You
|

316 may just find someone's finger sticking up the barrel...

335 It was getting late, the Innkeeper was just finishing his nightly clean up
|
||
336 of THE INN. A few of the reagulars cliqued together on the other side of
|
||
337 the fireplace from the stranger. The strangers breath came even and slow...
|
||
338 to the untrained observer, he might appear asleep. He most certainly was
|
||
339 not. "You feel like tell'n that story now Mister..Ah I seem to have misplaced
|
||
340 the name."
|
||
341 "Falstarr, Lelund Falstarr. And yours?"
|
||
342 "JoeJoe will be fine," said the Innkeeper. The Innkeeper felt a little
|
||
343 nervous, no... more unneasettled really. He couldn't place why.
|
||
344 "It's a long story, one for more than just one fire," he chuckled to
|
||
345 himself, pointing at the fireplace as he spoke, "But I would be more than
|
||
346 willing to start her tonight." He pushed his chair back, until he could
|
||
347 lean it back to rest aginst the wall. He raised his voice slightly, "It's
|
||
348 cold outside, and the fire is still high... I've a story to tell if you've
|
||
349 a mind to listen." Those that chose to moved in a bit, others just turned
|
||
350 their ear a bit, feigning disintrest. He waited for the room to settle, then
|
||
351 when the room was quiet, he began.
|
||
352 "I am a WANDERER," the way he spoke the word, you could tell that it held
|
||
353 more than just the usual meaning. "I seek, THE STONE. I have travelled
|
||
354 across four realities and countless worlds... taking longer to do so then
|
||
355 some of you can concieve, concerning the measuring of time. I have been close
|
||
356 three times, but never closer then I am right now. It is on this world, a
|
||
357 world with only one door, to which I hold the key... and that door is locked
|
||
358 by my hand. At long last, the time is near.

432 Scarlet lion -- well, not TOO clean, OK? After all we do want to remain

433 welcome at this inn.
|

434 To all: I've noticed that things are very cyclic around here. Right now
|
||
435 we're in a down cycle -- not too much happening, the disks stay around for
|
||
436 several days. It's a great time for anyone that has been thinking of trying
|
||
437 their hand at storytelling for the first or second time. Don't worry about
|
||
438 criticisms -- you're going to get it, from the learned disputing your use
|
||
439 of grammar to the unwashed "NYA NYA YOU'RE BORING!" of the mentally less than
|
||
440 fully competent. Or -- far more likely, you won't hear a thing. You should
|
||
441 really take this as praise, for far more will react to something they find
|
||
442 unpleasant than pleasant. If you hear nothing, persevere! You may not be
|
||
443 doing spectacularly well, but you're not doing badly! Remember, if you want
|
||
444 to run in a marathon, you still have to take the first faltering steps.

464 To Hartleeb: Don't ever assume ignorance on anyones part... have YOU ever SEEn

465 what happens when a finger is stuck in a gun? Or is it just HEARSAY?
|
||
466 Also... Believe me... I know what Philistines means: why belittle what you do
|
||
467 not know for fact? Maybe DESTROYER'S story wasn't worthy of high praise, but
|
||
468 the term philistine was used to reinforce the idea that those who critisized
|
||
469 perhaps could not see the true art that was taking place. Since you seem to
|
||
470 jump the gun so quickly on these matters and judge what others consider to be
|
||
471 art (in the eye of the beholder, don't forget), perhaps YOU should look up the
|
||
472
|
||
473 definition again. Then come back and tell me whether I know the meaning or not.
|
||
474 Disagreeing with what you've been called is one thing, but when you claim that
|
||
475 the deliverer doesn't know what it means, then perhaps that's the best example
|
||
476 yet of the fact that you indeed are what you were accused of being.

575 on the use, disuse, and functions of said item.
|

576 I am also a writer. When I logged on, (my 2nd log-on) low and behold, other

577 stuggling writers, one finishing with Doctor Who, and the other a fantasist.
|

578 Well.

||
581 (only in a few ways, thankfully) without faith, they are nothing.
|

582 Please, anyone, let me know what you think. I also want soomeone to test
|
||
583 a BBS I have written, mind you, just as a test to see if it works, so keep

|
||
605 You see, Mr. Winn, most folks don't have time for newcomers. After all, once you
|
||
606 have become experienced in something, all those inexperiences are to be frowned
|
||
607 upon. It is one of the few times many people, sad to say, are allowed the
|
||
608 luxery of feeling superior, since they usually feel inferior in this maddening
|
||
609 world. Anyway, as a fellow new user (way back when), start poking around other B
|
||
610 BBS's and you'll find lists of BBS's stored in their memory. You'll end up with
|
||
611 so many numbers you won't know what to do with them all. But you might start
|
||
612 with The Bit Bucket (254-xxxx); leave your name and number and when they verify
|
||
613 you can poke around all you want. It won't be long 'till you have more modem
|
||
614 buddies than you want! As for this one, it's a free forum populated by mostly
|
||
615 intelligent beings... you can write what you want but be warned that some of
