First, I should say hello to you both, so...
Hello to you both. LOL
Second, we don't need the mister, unless you really missed her. We
don't use our real names here, so there is no need to be formal.
I'm in the fort with Doc and the others, because I came here when I was
a kid looking for help understanding who I was. They helped me not kill
myself. I stick around here now to help people who helped me, and new
people who might need help, or just somebody they know who cares. Bone
is right. I can't do much else, but I recently discovered I could write
and post some stories some people liked. Unfortunately, I got hooked on
writing them, and can't stop. Some would think it's not that bad of a
thing to get hooked on. It's sure better than what fish get hooked on!
I put some names of posters in the stories, because Doc suggested it.
Some of the names were easy to put on the stories realistically, but
some were very hard. Kittens are in them, but pasted on the wall over
George's bed, because George and Kittens, and Registered. are all the
same person. I tried to put the poster's personality in the characters
as much as I could, but it's hard to do that when you don't know how
they were like as kids. I didn't do well with Cosmos. I'm not sure he
likes that I made him into Cosmo, the dance teacher. I think the poster
named Chad, isn't going to be upset how close his character gets to
Stevie. No way! LOL
Both of you are in the camp stories, but only near the end, and I had
to make it rain a lot for it to happen, because I had already written
the stories before that. You will see what I mean when you read the
story called "Rain". You might guess so by its name. LOL
You guys will be in the next year of sumer camp, MUCH more, which I'm
about to start writing. Unless you don't want me to do that.
Some notes about "Stevie".
He isn't real. I made him up from parts of people I knew and read
about. The same for most of his adventures, and the other characters,
but most of the story ideas came from real things which actually
happened. In the story I just posted, the first part of the story,
about the horse, happened almost exactly that way, to ME!
I made the stories to happen between somewhere 1955 and 1964, so Stevie
would be too old for you now, if some miracle made him exist. Since he
is imaginary, we don't have to make him get older than we want to,
right?
Stevie wants to be bisexual, so he can have more friends and lovers to
chose from, than people who are only one way. One of the kinds of
suspense I'm putting into the stories is, is he? He loves Jeremy AND
Debbie, and more people later. But, is it just sexual? Does real love
have to be sexual? And the other way around, can you be sexual with
somebody you don't love? And if you can, should you? Stevie will be
exploring these issues, and many more, in his adventures. He even has
comments about adventures in general, too. In fact, I just wrote those
stories, number 51 "A Nose for My Trouble - Part 2" and number 52
"Telling a Nose".
I don't really know what's going to happen in the stories, even when I
start writing. I have some ideas I want to write about, and sometimes I
start with that, or continue a previous story, or sometimes I just
start writing. There will be an idea, then a part of a story, then I
think what would Steve do next, and what can I make the other
characters do, that would make Stevie do or say interesting things,
then I write them. A lot of the stories end up being something totally
unexpected. That's funny, because I'm the one who's writing them, but
other writers say the same things. I though they were crazy, but now I
understand. Does that make me crazy too? Maybe if you heard me laugh...
My next story post is The Adventures of Stevie #21 "Baseballed".
I think you can guess it's about baseball, right? This is different.
Stevie never played baseball before, and didn't know anything about it.
The way he sees it is very funny. But, that's not all. There is a
lesson in it for US, which Stevie doesn't get yet. Two lessons,
actually. See if you can spot what they are.
By the way, Stephen doesn't like to be called "Stevie", so we do.
A little bit of friendly teasing never hurt anybody, did it? LOL
I hope you have fun with Doc, and with each other. I mean more fun.
