Subject: New Smoke City - Volume 144 RELEASED!

So…

Yeah…

I guess most of you have been following my recent rants, so you know what's in this volume, and how I feel about it.

Look, just give the first two stories a read, the rest, are up to you.

New Smoke City - Volume 144

In the filler, you'll recognize some names, and some you won't.

Given the original source, it's not the sort of stuff most will want to read. Stuff that I normally would have not included.

That said, if it were not for DU saving them, they would have been considered lost to time, and in most cases here, that wouldn't have been a bad thing, but, most are stories from about 20 years ago, and that is the only reason they're here.

I edited (tidied up) the lot, and the more I did, the angrier I got. What was written was not handled with sensitivity, there are right way and wrongs ways to write about things, and these were written about the wrong way.

I'm sorry you have to read it.

Would that I could, I would have done violence on the authors, there would have been blood, and in some cases scattered body parts. Except for Karen Somers, she's a nice lady, she would have gotten a stern talking to. I wonder what happened to her…

Anyway, give the first two stories a go, the rest are up to you.

You'll see this degenerate garbage in the next few volumes, how much you see depends on how much new fiction there is. I hope I'm done with it before Volume 150, I hope to make it that far, and doubtless we will eventually. There will probably be two new stories in 145, one from Mark and hopefully another from Azilwen.

I need a cuppa.

And please consider giving the authors feedback. Communication is important.

Nick
