And, if you want to check on Wes's interleaved set of characters, places and other things, you can always use the Spearfish Lake Tales Wiki as a cheat sheet. :)

I think the site http://www.beyondthefarhorizon.com/ got taken down.
An objective definition of "Political Correctness":

"A doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical, liberal minority, and
rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the
proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end."

UPDATE:
Use beyondthefarhorizon.net instead of .com for now. Things should be working again in a few days.

Hello,
On-going story Always on guard by Jay Cantrell @SOL is well worth reading.

Afternoon all. Since I've taken so many suggestions from this board, figured it was time to toss out some things I've run up on that have been rather good to read.

Den of Thieves by John Westcott. Think Shadowrun meets X-Men in the world like Equilibrium (great movie by the way). He also has some other stories that are great to read. Probably one of my favorite authors on FP.

Wolf by Anthony Milhorn. Werewolf story. Incomplete but still being updated though irregularly.

Black Magic the dark force by Adek. Definitely influenced by Vampire Hunter D. Main character is even named Dee. There are two complete books. He also has a story named Wild Magic the Jinn Chronicles but I don't remember if it was finished or not but from what I remember it was a decent read.

Waking and the second book The Beast by M. Fitzgerald. Two very good stories that seem to be heavily influenced by The Dresden Files which is not a bad thing at all.

I'll have to go back and dig up some more things I've read but this should keep some of you busy for a day or two. :D

I am reading this story now. Not bad, but definitely needs an editor. :)

True. You definitely have to ignore the grammatical and spelling errors.

And (whatever its called when two words sound the same but are spelled differently and have different meaning) errors.

Mind went blank on the name.

Homophones if the pronunciation is the same, but the spelling and definitions are different (to, too, two)

Homonyms if the pronunciation and spelling are the same, but the definitions are different (right [correct], right [direction])

There are other variations, but homophones are what cause the most problems.

Hmmm, just finished read it. Didn't much like the ending. Leaves room for a sequel, I suppose.

Yeah, I couldn't remember if it ended or if it was left open for a third book.
