Or are we just picking?
I noticed people who post poetry, are not required to provide links to everywhere it may appear on the web, yet all of a sudden stories should?

IF its Nirvanas work.

Why is that neccesary?
If its Nirvana's work, it's her right to post another version of HER story.
Because a version of HER story appears on another website, is no reason to post a link, IMHO.

I'd rather my daughters name wasn't brought up with everything to do with youngsters. You have your own kids, use their names.
Besides, I agree with floosie. If you use a story from another site you should give credit to the author and the site where it came from. If its a dubious site with lots of adult material maybe find a story from a different site? Theres plenty to choose from.

NOT a floosie:

But that is original story. That particular site has quite a few stories very unsuitable for younger people, so I wouldn't have personally posted that link on a public board. Winnie, for example, is way too young for much of it.

I also write on other sites, including that one, under a couple of other names, including the one you highlighted. I adapted it slightly to make it more appropriate for here.

Nirvana: I'll ask again, being that my post was mysteriously deleted. I feel that this is on topic and at the very least deserves a reply.

Shouldn't the excerpt below be credited to this site?



I'm sorry, but I'm really not comfortable with a link to a site with quite a lot of material which is unsuitable for young children (I won't allow my 12 yr old on it) being posted here.

Yes ~ it's fun! the censorship is merely a reminder that this is a public board to which children have access and so to watch the language a bit, nothing more than that.

James Du Maresq Clavell(1924–1994), Australian-born American writer, scriptwriter, film director, and producer. Born in Sydney, he was the son of a British commander stationed in Australia to help establish the Royal Australian Navy. When Clavell was nine months old, his family was posted back to England, where he was educated at Portsmouth Grammar School. He left the school at the outbreak of World War II to join the Royal Artillery as a young captain. In 1941 he was captured by the Japanese in Java and, at the age of 18, was shipped to Changi jail in Singapore, where he remained until the end of the war.

In 1953 he moved to Hollywood, where he embarked on a career as a scriptwriter and, later, producer and director. His best-selling novels include King Rat (1962), Tai-Pan (1966), Shogun (1975), Noble House (1981), Whirlwind (1986), and Gai-Jin (1993). His successful works as a scriptwriter include the cult sci-fi film The Fly (1958) and the prisoner-of-war drama The Great Escape (1966). Clavell also wrote, produced and directed To Sir With Love (1966). By the time his film The Last Valley (1969), a meditation on men at war starring British actor Michael Caine, appeared, Clavell was already a best-selling novelist.

Tai-Pan, Shogun, and Noble House were made into TV mini-series, which Clavell produced. When Shogun went on air in 1980 starring Richard Chamberlain, it became the second highest rated mini-series in history. Shogun the musical followed on Broadway in 1989.

Nirvana: I'm looking for short stories that one can tell in under ten minutes such as Abiyoyo or Dark and Stormy Night. Not too scary or I'll get calls. ;)

Dark and Stormy Night has a funny ending and all the suspense build up is released in a huge ball of laughter! It's such a hit. But I tell it every year (they still want to hear it again tho).

I know you are ~ I was just making sure of the age~group you wanted, also there is quite a big difference between what primary school children (up to 10/11) read and what 11/12 year old secondary school children read. Although I started school in Wisconsin not England, it was a long time ago and I wasn't too sure what age elementary schools covered.

Monkey Crazzy is 12, likes scary things, she read most of those, quite a few when she was younger.

Alvin Achwartz wrote 'Scary Stories to tell in the dark'
and 'More Scary Stories to tell in the dark'
also: 'Ghosts ~ ghostly tales from folklore',
are some of what she has read over the past years ~ she seems to enjoy his books.

Tom went back and told the group there was no hope with the radio. Anyone have a CB in a truck outside. "I do" yelled a woman "In my car.It's unlocked, A 1993 Black Jimmy" He ran to it. The car was covered in blood and the vehicle had a smashed hood. He forced the passenger door open because the drivers side was crushed. No use there for he had no power for the CB. What was plan C?.....
