I have been working on Ye Olde Website (http://brainofck.110mb.com) where I have posted Possession (http://brainofck.110mb.com/Possession.html). Sorry, it is not linked up into the site navigation because I was vetting the layout and trying to decide if it was just TOO annoying, or infact, really pretty. (Feel free to comment on layout, but I have decided that when I'm done doing my foofy pages, I'm going to go back and create a shadow website - white pages with black type - for those who prefer to read something much simpler.) :) Anyway, I am trying to reread as I post, particularly the long pieces, to check for typos from the original posts, mainly, as well as to check for navigation issues, etc. (BTW, not done with Possession yet. Just got to Sam's POV where she is referring to Jack as "Jack" which is way wrong in the context and will probably get edited.)

Reading Possession - my very first Stargate story - I realize that I have a lot of issues with that story now. *sigh* I'm seriously scared to go back and look at Arena... I didn't much care for 1+1+1+1 when I reread that, either.

I'm both sad and happy to report that I am not writing anything at all at the moment. Sad, because I like writing, but happy because I'm in a good place with it and RL has been so horrific (well, not that horrific, but both kids had stomach viruses [but I didn't, yay?] recently that if I were trying to seriously write anything I would probably be having nervous breakdown. Which I actually thought I WAS having last week, honestly, but apparently not, or the effects were very short-lived.

Anyway.

*glowers at Possession*

UPDATE: Link to Possession fixed. Sorry! Nekkid wimmin hijacking my porn again!

Re: Website revamp

I have been thinking about your comments from MONTHS ago the whole time I've been working on my site. It was the Possession layout that finally inspired me. Did you click it? I love it, but I decided that it probably is too hard for a lot of people to read, but I didn't want to change it. Then I thought, hey. Easy to do two websites... You, madam, get all the blame credit for this brain wave. :)

LOL. Yep, just call me Ms. Broadshoulders. And that was me that brought this up???? Geez, the ol' brain isn't what it used to be. It must be a stress thing. Yep...that sounds like the ticket.

Actually, if IE or the other browsers would have a one-button-click to ignore colors/font style-size (instead of doing the Dance of the Castanets...click-clickty-click....going into Tools> Options> Accessibility> yadda> then rinse and repeat in reverse), then all would truly be right with the world. [Simple things make me so happy!]

And yes, I did look at the Possession's story webpage. I guess what sends my eyeballs a little bonkers is the fabric patterned background. Maybe if it were a little bit more narrow in size? Also, not that this has anything to do with you, but having double backgrounds really causes the page to load slower. I'm on DSL at work with a pretty decent computer and the page tends to scroll load rather than pop up (basically) all at one time.

And to answer the other question....I think older stories should be basically left as they are unless there are glaring typos or other some such. I think it is nice to see the evolution of the writer's skills.

When you get the urge to revamp a story, remember, an object doesn't have to be all shiny to have beauty.
