I thought that Cait's comment about not telling was because he had admitted to actually having one, once. But it was so nice to see that he still had it.. I threw most of my 'treasures' away some years ago, and unfortunately now there is nothing left from my childhood. My old teddy bear, that was at my mother's house along with all the photos and other childhood things, got thrown out by sister! So I am building up a new store of treasures! I need some air.

I still can't believe that I accidentally threw away the box that contained all my unfinished UFO stories that I wrote as a teen! To me, that was the hardest thing I've lost over the years. And it's one of the reasons why I'm extra careful to never throw any of my writings away now. Even if I don't finish them! IP Logged

Did you know the plots well enough to rewrite them? What do you mean, we're out of coffee! WWW IP Logged

Neesierie Ex Member Re: FDK Face Up Reply #35 - Aug 21st, 2010 at 1:46am Print Post Good for you, Louise! Triple redundancy is the way to go! No, Matt. I had no other records of them. But most of the basic plots got replayed enough in my head late at night when I couldn't sleep that I had them memorized when it came time to finally write a UFO story in 2000. So -- here's for insomnia! I think I've used nearly all the plots I memorized by now. But every time I'm pretty sure about that, I start a new story and find myself using bits and pieces of old ideas I'd forgotten I knew. So, who knows? *shrug* Life remains interesting. IP Logged

I only wondered as you had mentioned something about Antoine interacting with someone from HQ, unless you were talking about the wedding. Great trilogy! What do you mean, we're out of coffee!
