Hey all!

Just to give you a boost, I decided to go ahead and let the next chapter go live! I really think you'll like it - I think the chapter's subtitle pretty much says it all ....

CSV-DSM Part 2, Chapter 22: "Please Pass the Romulan Ale" is now LIVE!

Hey All!

I heard that you might need something to read!

Seriously - real life's been busy, but I finally got the time to review what I wrote for the next part and can now post it. Temporal Tranquilizers are in the left armrest of your seat; please fasten you seat belts for an adventure you never expected!

Once again, the boys of Des Moines are raising the bar on the unexpected - and this time, the Guardian Angels are just as guilty as the living! I'll just say Petey's crews are getting lots of overtime in ... and the Headquarters compound in Des Moines is experiencing some unexpected changes!

I hope you enjoy the fun!

It's that time again! With the heat wave going around, the boys in Des Moines decided that you needed a reason to stay inside --- so they told me to post this!

Yes; that means another chapter of CSV-DSM part two .... and no, I'm not loaning out my cliff notes on this one! All I'll say is that a certain newish character is starting to take his hereditary role seriously, and a lot of good is coming from it!

I present to you ...

CSV-DSM Part 2, Chapter 20: Birth of a Legacy (Part 1)

Enjoy!

Just when you thought it was safe, the boys are on the prowl!

That's right - the Des Moines crew are still at it, and they are hijacking some familiar faces to assign blame to!

CSV-DSM Part 2, Chapter 19 - 'Family is in the Heart (Part 2)' is now live!

Just a note; there are now 31,000 PLUS words that have been written on this plotline that are yet to be posted; and it's still getting more added! That means at least 6 more chapters that are being driven by the events from chapters 17-A&B, possibly more! In the near future, you'll start seeing at least a few names that you have not seen since CSV-DSM Part 1, so hang on as Destiny throws a monkey wrench into everyone's plans!

Hugzzz!

Hey all!

Surprise!

Another story arc has begun ... and it builds on the events of the last two posts! Hold on to your seats, because the boys in Des Moines are on a roll! Since I'm still trying to find the end of the story arc, I'm posting the first part of it now; more will come as I'm sure they are finalized (there's already almost 9000 more words written that are waiting to be broke into chapters!)

So here it is .....

CSV-DSM Part 2 ....

Chapter 18 - Family is in the Heart (Part 1)

I hope you enjoy!

Hey all!

Yes, I'm still around, and am making changes to real life to get more time!

Today, you're getting a double-header - a two-chapter story arc which goes places that nobody ever expected .... while not leaving the room! All I will say is that a few people are finally getting what they deserve, in a very good way.  No Mikyvis were hurt in the production of this chapter, but there's one who has been sentenced to cuddles for an unknown timeframe to prove to him that he's really wanted.

Let the fun begin! "CSV-DSM Part 2, Chapters 17a and 17b - Blood Ties" is now posted for your enjoyment!

Hugzzz!

I want to take a quick minute to thank each and every one of the people who take the time to reach out to help us in providing hosting for online authors. It all started with a little 'ad laced' free forum and in 2004 became a service and community. I started doing what I'm doing simply because I appreciated the work being put in by so many people that I worked really hard to find, mainly because they made my life better. I wanted to share my appreciation to the people who put so much of themselves out into the public for no gain outside of the knowledge that 'the work you put in has the potential to enrich the life of another'. To me, that was so selfless and worth celebrating and supporting. So with the help of a friend who didn't survive long enough to see what his gentle shove ultimately accomplished in the long haul (Thank you August, you are still missed every day!), we actively sought out authors posting mainly on free services whose work clearly deserved a forever home. Along the way, I've gotten to work with some amazing talents, amazing souls each, and once in a while, someone we reach out to reaches back. That's what Ted Louis did for us.

As stated previously in our community, Fort Family Hosting had been made an incredible offer to attempt to boost the financial support at a time when it was most needed. One of the most influential authors of our time IMHO with one of the longest running single story lines ever posted. I have been a fan of his https://tedlouis.com and the community he built there for a VERY long time so when he announced his retirement, stating the service would remain up until his hosting expired, we held our breath and asked him if he would consider allowing us to give it the ability to continue on, hosting until we can no longer provide it. Not only did he floor us by agreeing, but he made an incredible offer to reward those who also helped to support this work. A free autographed copy of one of the books from the 'Joel' series for as long as there were some left in the box he had found in his home to anyone donating $10 or more. Well, because of the outpouring of support, that supply got exhausted, clearing a corner in his home and putting an amazing keepsake on many shelves of the people who helped make it all possible.

So, the free book offer is officially over and I want to say to each and every person that plays a part in helping make it possible to find some of the best amateur literature out there by ensuring it always has a home online. From the people who write the stories, to the people who read them, and every effort in between to make that possible, thank you for your continued support. Ted's work here is thankfully not going anywhere, along with the other thousands of stories hosted throughout the many sites in our community, and that is thanks largely to you because of your support.

To Ted Louis, my friend thank you for many years of memories, for your willingness to share it all with the world, and for your recent choice to pay it forward even more. May your retirement be all that you hoped it would be, and if it isn't, you point at the guy preventing it from happening and we'll go beat him up for you! LOL!

That said, please keep an eye out at https://fortfamilyforums.com for news and updates from the entire network of sites that Ted's site is now a part of. If you enjoy reading, please consider helping us keep the service online with a donation to go toward the hosting costs. That can be done by using the form on the right side of the page at https://dsshosting.net (which is also us) and if you are interested in helping to carry this service further into the future, please reach out to us through that same site.

Our story is way more amazing when you consider what stories are behind it being a reality ;)
