| Fortunately I don't live in a nation with an almost pathological love affair with guns. It is weird and creepy in equal measure.

| Human beings of any kind and firearms do not mix. People want them because they make them feel powerful. It's an infantile, needy emotional crutch. Thinking about the whole thing makes me feel depressed; it's indicative of all that is wrong with humanity. A 60 year old 5'2" 110 lb. woman Awakens to... |

| Thanks for the reply. I already suspected this to be the case. IMHO it is an unfortunate consequence of copyright law. It is hard to see how a follow up work can damage the original author financially or alter the quality of the original story. But the rules are the rules. For all sorts of reason it... |

The previous work was published over 20 years ago and itself borrowed heavily from a couple of other stories from around the turn of the last century. My story contains a few characters and locatio... |

I can't remember many of the techniques off the top of my head, and everyone has their own method that works for them. My self I would: 1. ... |
