Hey, guys. My name's Andy & even though the majority of people who reply to every Greeting Thread are simply trying to increase post count, thought I'd mention I recognise a lot of names from WF in the hope someone recognises me! - Andy (Hi, Andy, welcome to the forums!)

Hey, Luke. I write what I read, general fiction with some horror peppered in there! What about you? Banned after one post? What'd it say? - Andy

Long story. Hint: My name is Father Luke. If you want to piss me off, many do, keep calling me Luke. Have a nice time at Mary.

Fantasy, you need to convince me and Atom to start writing short stories again!

Wait. We get benefits? Why didn't anyone tell me? I recognize your name from WritingForums. I don't know when was the last time any of us worried about post count, though. We're not really that sort of forum. Although I would have to say I have the best post count noever. Enjoy the forums.

I once sullied myself at another writing forum, but I realized I'm a one woman man, so Mary it is till death do us part. I haven't read any horror stories since I was about 14, so I'll be interested to see if you can persuade me its worth trying again (has anyone ever read a trashy rip off of James Herberts 'The Rats', called 'The Slugs'? It's a work of retarded genius! Who in the right mind could dream up a book where the characters get killed off by flesh eating slugs? If they made it into a film it would take the full two hours just for the slimey critters to reach their prey! Anyway, I'm rambling) Welcome to LM (since we're doing acronyms). If I can make your stay more pleasant let me know (my wrists are too weak for handjobs though) RP

Hi Andy, welcome. As for Slugs, i read it many years back, i believe it was by Shaun Hutson... quite remarkable, i remember one particular scene where a tramp munches on some lettuce or something which he has found, and some hours later the slugs burst out of his face or stomach i cant quite remember.... anyhow when i was 15 it was great especially as it had two separate sex scenes which was great as i could read it to my cocks content without my mum ever knowing... far more discreet than porn magazines! regards Vincent

it's not just me that used to read trash then Vincent! Those two sex scenes, weren't they really crudely written? Using words like piston for penis etc? I remember there was a scene where a young couple are getting it on in the woods and he describes the slugs slowly approaching? I remember me and my mate finding it highly amusing anyway. As an aside, at the time of reading we were staying with his grandparents who lived two ddors down from the milky bar kid...now there was a real life horror story (Village of the Damned!)  Ahoi-hoi

It's strange. The book was bad, real bad but both of us all these years later can remember certain parts of that book. In that time I read what many would consider a classic but if asked about them now I would struggle to remember much. Maybe we remember these books because they are so bad or maybe they are not that bad just not our cup of tea or genre, or maybe it was what our young minds wanted/needed back then they reached us in ways other books did not due to the language and cliched sex descriptions... Either way I would be more than happy if people were remembering my work in twenty years time for reasons good or bad!!!!!
