Please, please, please!! I haven't written in so long that I'm having FDK withdrawl!!!

well... Wow! Enjoyed it, Anne. Very clever.

*cracks up* Oh man! My first though when I read your title was 'Hmm, wonder if it's about World of Warcraft?'

And you know, the amount I've played it last month, you would THINK that there were subliminal messages hidden there!

Great story

LIES!! I fully believe Blizzard has employed satan and he has implanted messages in the game.

P.S. The story made me giggle out loud. LOL I love it.

Hehe. Duh, Clark. I mean seriously. What else do you do when you kill a wolf?

That was a fun story. A mini mystery! Perfect for me to unwind with after a hectic day at work. Thanks for posting it!

Personally, I am no longer a player of these kinds of games, but that's a personal preference and not something I'm going to rag anyone else about. I simply don't have the time to invest in one of these monster-killers. I know that one of my sons was deep into WoW for several months, until my need for the computer cut into his combat time.

But the story was excellent, Anne! I completely understand Lois's addictive involvement in the game. It's especially believable given her intense competitive streak. Maybe it's a good thing they didn't have these kinds of games when they went on their stakeout at the Lexor Hotel. They probably wouldn't have heard the maid coming with fresh towels, not to mention getting any pictures of Congressman Harrington and the bribe.

And I'm glad you're writing again. You're one of the really talented writers from "the old days" (meaning, to me, the time before I signed up), and I always enjoy reading your stories. Keep it up!

I didn't noticed this until it was too late to read it. I promise I'll be back, but in the meantime... a little blue arrow would be nice.

Cute story, intersting concept. Laura

I told you the story is great.

Glad to see it posted.

Oh man, LOL. The one day I don't play this week and there's a story about it! Sick, I tell you. Anyway, I just think it's way funny that you wrote a WoW-type story. Kudos! Wouldn't be surprised if there were subliminals; I find it extraordinarily addicting.

Very cute, Anne! I can just see Lois playing it, getting totally addicted. A competitive person like herself, well... Somehow I don't really think she would need those subliminal signals to lose herself completely in the game.

By the way, I love the way you wrote married Lois and Clark, too. So sweet, so relaxed, so happy.

I, too, am very glad to see you back!

Ann

Yeah, WoW is evil, play Final Fantasy XI instead
Reminds me, I got to check my Chocobos (my little green darling and the current disappointment who's only yellow and refuses to learn how to canter).

You gotta to find a balance between real life and online life, then those games can be a lot of fun and interesting.

Ahhhh, I feel better now.



And just in case anyone was wondering, I'm up to 12 WoW characters on 5 different servers, including a level 9 warrior named Loisette! Well, they say you should write what you know...

I can't believe I slept that long...

No, seriously. I'm sorry it took me so long to get back to the boards, especially since this was a very cute story.

Elisabeth

Haha Anne... I do have a horde blood elf that is named LolaDane.

I must be so out of it. When I read "WOW", my first thought was of the series of CDs that are offered which have 30 of the top songs from CCM for any particular year.

Elisabeth

Well, you know I liked it... Cute Anne! (And I have to wonder if some of those darn games do use hidden messages to play, Play, PLAY!!)
