I'm V.R. Stone - not my real name, but that is my real eye, the good one.

I'm a long-time lurker and, having read every craft essay on the site and written one terrible novel (I stole the plot from The Firm and inserted a lot of sex), I'm now on the third draft of what I hope is a less terrible novel. It's a noir/psychological/crime/suspense/literary thriller that will need a more precise genre definition before being submitted anywhere. It's the story of... well, you can read the first chapter in the Workshop submissions. *SPOILER ALERT* some people die, some don't.

I like long walks in the countryside, apples and hip restaurants. Actually, I hate all those things.

I look forward to making you laugh, cry and request that the mods ask me to leave.

THE FIRM would be a wonderful title for a gay porn movie. Especially if it used the plot from THE FIRM and 'inserted' (wink wink) a lot of sex. Hot. Gay. Sex.

Where was I? Oh, right, welcome to the LitReactor, where the sex is hot and gay, except when Bekanator writes it.

I like that people waited until Christmas day to respond. As I always say, Christmas isn't about having fun, it's about spending time with your family...

Why does new guy have to leave?

Why is Dwayne now not a person?

Why do people read, write, and tape sex instead of just having sex?

Oh, who cares. I have wine. :p

No one listens to Utah.

Why is Dwayne now not a person?

Well it seems PEOPLE waited until Christmas and I posted on the 13th.

Why do people read, write, and tape sex instead of just having sex?

People are lazy.

Oh, who cares. I have wine. :p

And not just the drink!

Okay, okay, the MAJORITY of people waited until Christmas. I thought it was just workshop submissions that got critiqued... sorry Dwayne.

Dwayne has never been a person.  He is, and always has been (well, for the course of his life, not necessarily forever) a dog with Asperger's Syndrome.

I'd remind everyone to be nice, but he wouldn't notice.

We have been over this Utah.  I could be a dog, I could have Asperger's Syndrome, but not both.

I don't think it's wise to credit a dog with Asperger's Syndrome with being an expert on dogs with Asperger's Syndrome.

Maybe a better change to my dad, than what they did to the firm. I ended up laughing out loud in that one. I haven't read it yet, so I wouldnt know.
