greenspun.com : LUSENET : FRL friends : One Thread

Oh and Rob how ARE the trees... have ANY of them survived or have the beavers gotten them all......

That's when we got started, I think. Our next anniversary will be our sixth.

Helen; Yes, 12/11/98 was the date of the first FRL thread and post... the original "Know Your Fruitcake" thread! Hard to believe it's been so long. And to think I finally ran out of TP this year too ;-)

Night train; Well it turns out that the one story about the beaver and Marie's sapling (it really did happen) resulted in me becoming a bit of a story writer here at the FRL. Encouraged by the gang here, I ended up writing quite a lot of stories, all based on the original characters plus some new ones along the way. If you are really really bored you can find them in the "Stories" category. I started an index too, here is a link:

I think I wrote a couple more after that thread too. There are about 17 stories believe it or not. And some were co-written too (with Lon and Helen)!

My favorite is the one called "The Siblings". Tricia posted that she really wanted a story and I asked what it should be about and she said something like 'well we haven't heard anything from the other beavers in a while' (the siblings) and so I wrote one up for her (she asked so nicely, how could I refuse!)

Anyway, I guess I really should make a new and updated index thread that's actually called 'index' in the Thread Title and has all of the stories too.

Rob, you mean all I need to do to get a story is ask nicely and give a hint for starting the plot?!?!?

Well!!

Please, pretty please with sugar on top can we have a story? Weren't all the characters stranded down under when we last heard from them? :-)

(Hmmph, no one ever told me I was greedy and manipulative before....)
