Hi Peeps
I was just reading the Kyle Martin Algonquin stories by Douglas Fox on SOL and I kept on half remembering a similar but totally different football story that I have read before. I have searched all over but can't remember enough to find it. There is a arrogant football player/local town hero, young, who meets next door neighbor girl who, with his mother helps him grow up a bit. Mother dies of Cancer, girl leaves him and gets into drugs later on, he visits hospital cancer patients and a girl patient ends up writing football plays for his team at some point. He goes out with at least one really good woman golf player and he also becomes really good American football player. Thats all for now and thanks to anyone who reads this meandering nonsense.

Thanks for the question ralbloke and thanks for the link kp. What a great tale and such ups and downs. Certainly not the usual run-of-the-mill football hero story.

I enjoyed that immensely.

A pity that nothing else of his shows up on SOL other than an incomplete story. No posts since 2008 so am I to assume that Brendan Buckley is another entry on the list of those that have dropped off the online world?

Again, a great tale and well worth reading even to the US-Football-illiterate like myself.
Cheers, Ian

I'm trying to remember a story on SOL. The key thing I remember was about someone using an antique snuff box to spread nanites or something similar around.

Thanks. As soon as you said it, I remembered it was from one of Green Dragon's stories. I have another, and I'm not sure the source. Some people are rescued by colonist on the moon and one extremist Christian woman is offended by the colonist's life style and ends up trying to bypass the internal locks and open the external doors to punish everyone.

Hmm, not on SOL anymore.

The second "Ahab" entry may still work.

I have it but am reluctant to send it because of copyright protection. Lareez at SOL banned him because he would not finish the stories and wanted you to donate on his site for the whole story.

A few years back he went into partnership with Siath, who wrote Earth Base Alpha, on a publishing company that were going to publish non erotic versions of their stories:

He and Siath also started using their real names and you can find their books on Amazon:

Thanks everyone, I have the original 3 books and part of the revision but I haven't read them in years. I was interested to see that he published Tides of Mars in its complete form. I got into it but posting was so erratic that I gave up.

One thing that confused me was that I was certain it was from The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, but I couldn't find it. It's bad when you reach the age that your mind starts to 'forget' things. The primary reason I stopped writing was that there were times that when I reached the bottom of a page, and I'd forgotten where I was going. What is worse, is that I keep coming up with good ideas for stories, but by the time I start to make notes, I can't remember most of the idea. :(

my problem with him is that the original versions (NOT the revisions) were available for free completely and than he took the later chapters down and made you pay for them
