Faltarego (Eric Rountree)

a 47-year-old gentleman from Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada

I'm interested in reading most types of fiction (not so much Romance, but if it's well-written, hey, I'll give it a try), and in terms of writing, I tend towards the fantastical, the science-fiction-y, and the twisted and bizarre (though I don't go quite as far as to write horror).

I love movies, games, music (both listening and playing), and I also enjoy shooting and editing video. I've recently gotten my feet wet in the film making world as well, and I hope to do more of that.

But for the moment, I've got to get back to the writing!!

"Hola FA,

Thanks for your comments about the site, glad you're enjoying it... and I appreciate any and all feedback people want to provide.

I work on the site progressively, and I roll changes out every few days, generally speaking. Unlike larger sites, I have complete control over the codebase and release cycles, so if I can add or fix something quickly, I do it. :) I also have some major features that I'm working on (check out the blog for more on that -- http://blog.protagonize.com) and those tend to take priority. Right now I'm in the middle of working on Groups functionality, which is a big undertaking (i.e. it'll take me a little while to get done), but will address a lot of the issues and little niggles people currently have with the site, especially around threaded discussions and the like.

As for your two points:

1) A facebook-style "wall-to-wall" is is coming soon. It's high up on my to-do list and should be in within a couple of weeks of my return to Vancouver.

2) As I replied to Rac7hel, this is a pretty easy one and I'll probably get to it this weekend.

Thanks again for the suggestions!"

"Thanks, I think the children's book style is appropriate for a dog... I was particularly trying to make him sound anxious and frightened, obviously because of the storm incident. One of these days I'll get around to thinking of a story for the other dogs. Maybe the pit bull had a rough life and never learned the language well, but managed to effectively assert his dominance over other dogs. And maybe the golden retriever has been spoiled and well-educated and speaks perfectly with big words. Thanks for letting me brainstorm on your profile.

Not that you could have done anything about it. Muahahaha!"
