Yeah we really could use a blog section. In many cases, the blogs end up better then the actual soaps they are based on.

It would be fun to have an area to go to where all topics could be people needing help or bouncing ideas off each other.

Thanks Roman for that post. I am getting teary-eyed :lol::) I feel the same way my friend.

I just want ot say that I absolutely LOVE the blogs here on SON. I enjoy them all, especially the DAYS fics. With so many people that are fans of the show, it's great to see their vision for the show. Ya'll rock!

As for my fic, I'd love to have an official Co-HW, but right now I don't. I get ideas here and there and occasionally a friend will help me with an episode, but nothing on the scale that Roman and Phoenix have.

The blog will never get its own forum. IMO. Unless you have a blog, people see them as pointless and silly. Most SON-ers (including some of the staff IMO, of course not RC) think it's like a little hobby and no one reads them. IMO. Of course.

Thanks Ryan!!! :)

I am glad you enjoy your work as well as everyone else's.

I try to read as many of the blogs as I can and, from what I have read of yours, you do a great job. It is really a great thing we have going here.

I hope you are wrong King but I do think that very well may be the case. It just seems that how some feel. I hope some day we do get a forum for the blogs though.

I joined SON because of the blogs, at the time JER wrote the show so bad, I had to fix it somehow, I in fact found this site though King's blog, I was searching for a person named Megan Hathaway (not the Days character) and stumbled across King's blog and joined a few days later.

I too think the blog's should have their own Forum's, it would be great.

And Keith, I would think the ratings for yours would be higher, it should at least beat my blog, because I don't write very well. :lol:

:( about Moment's of Existence. I realllly like that blog.

Good point, King. But, I don't know. With the number of views per week, we all must be doing something right. :) And, we all push each other, which only adds to the excitement and enjoyment for the readers, of which I am one.

But I do see your point for the reasons you named. Great opinion, though. :)

And RC, let me say something. I've been dipping in and reading your blog. Don't you dare sell yourself short. Wonderful work. Your stuff reads light years ahead of what is apparently on the real GH right now. I'm not a fan of GH, but keep up the great work. And thanks for the very kind words. :)

      I am a couple days behind, but is it just me or do some of the glimpses of Martin's nightmare look like a police traffic stop?

      IIRC, there was fan outcry when viewers realized Donna was going to be killed, although someone more in the know might have a better idea. Donna was always more popular with viewers than she probably should have been, which I credit Stuart for. I do agree she would have been easier to write out than Felicia or Rachel.  Cass and Donna dated briefly during the Malone run (late 1997). http://www.anotherworldhomepage.com/cassd.html AW should have invested much more in Quinn than they did. All the pieces were in place for her to, at the very least, have a steady build in importance the way Jessica did on ATWT at that time. AW had moved away from usual patterns by bringing Henrietta and Quinn into the show to diversify the canvas. What always bothers me is the comment an AW person gave to SOD after fan complaints over Quinn's death - essentially, they did not know Quinn had any fans. Says it all.

      I like that the Martin story hasn't been frequent.  The nightmares are airing only periodically.  Each time, we viewers see more of the accident or whatever happened.  I think we might (or at least I might) be annoyed if we saw the nightmares too often.  At this point, I've become more curious, and so, when it's finally revealed, I think the timing will be just right.

      Total agreement.  But wasn't AW wonderful with all those servants?  Louise, Brooks, Rocky, Karl (never seen), Beatrice, Helga, Sven, Vivian, etc.  None of the post-Lemay servants ever seemed to resonate, nor did any of them last very long.  I do think BTG would benefit from casting at least one servant for Anita and Vernon.  And perhaps another for Nicole and Ted.  The show needs more have-nots for the different perspective.

      Interesting, I didn't know the origins of their "friendship." Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against Linda Dano or Felicia, but maybe the show would have been better off if they killed off Felicia instead of Quinn and built around her. Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't OLTL & ATWT pretty white at that time? Of all the stuff they threw at walls during that time to see what stuck, appealing to Black viewers seemed like a no-brainer. Especially since NBC had success at that time in Primetime with The Cosby Show & 227. Even in the mornings with Bryant Gumbel on Today. Of course, didn't have to be an either/or. I didn't mean to convey that Donna's isolation was the reason. Rachel, Felicia & Donna were all rich, 50ish brunettes whose characters started bleeding together by that point. Granted, mostly due to the bad writing of the writers she hired. Of the 3, getting rid of Donna would have been by far the easiest as VW had the most longevity/caused the biggest uproar; and Dano was the face of the show to the industry (and her favorite of the bunch). Thanks for the info of the alcoholism story. It was right before I started watching so I've only seen the clips of the intervention. Don't remember Cass & Donna at all. Was it last year of the show before he got with Lila? I was mostly checked out at that point.

      Phillip/Harley made more sense as friends (as they were portrayed to be during the Pam Long era).. and I could even buy them being a short-term couple.. but end game they were not. Didn't GA say he thought it out of character that he would choose Harley over Beth.. or that he would leave Beth/Lizzie back in AZ in order for him to chase a vendetta?  I know that when Beth Chamberlain came back as Beth in late 1997, she was told instantly that the writing would be slanted toward Phillip/Harley.. which surprised her as well. When the Lorelei story came up, it actually made all of her out there/out of character behavior Beth displayed from 1997/1998 through the early/mid 00s make sense.  I liked that the final months of the show, Beth became more like Beth of old so at least the show ended on a positive for her character.
