			<description><![CDATA[ Royce Icon has posted stories at TNA. No other information is available.
<br>
<br>
I like the sound of &#39;Royce Icon&#39; when I say it to myself in my brain.
<br>
<br>
Watched the entire original &#39;V&#39; mini-series yesterday on stupid syfy channel.
<br>
<br>
Yes, changing our name from sci-fi channel to syfy channel means we can fill our airtime with 72% stupid ghost hunter shows and not feel ashamed.
<br>
<br>
Stupid SyFy!

Unfortunately jon kind of forgets that stories need plots. In &#39;1933&#39;, the story consists of a few sentences that lead nowhere and do not arouse my
interest. Plus there is a spelling error which is pathetic in such a short piece. In &#39;My Name&#39; there are several... ]]></description>

Only DL Tamarin and myself have taken the time to post reviews of stories currently appearing on TNA, in an effort to support the site and stimulate discussion
since the official forum went down.

			<description><![CDATA[ This reminded me a few times of Doestoevesky&#39;s Underground Man in Notes From the Underground.
<br>
It is a stark, bleak and abject piece of fiction about those on the outside with a very authentic feel to it. I like a lot of the funnier stories on tna but
can relate better to a first person POV tale of bleakness and nihilism. Possibly because I can relate to those. Some motherfucker lives in the dumpster by my
building, I try to throw my shit out and he yells Get The Fuck Out of My House!... ]]></description>

sort of schizophrenic disjointed Lolita-ish sort of thing involving penile implants and pedophilia. It then goes off on a sort of completely unrelated tangent
involving a Syrian and a convenience store. At this point the story sort of wallows because the author didn&#39;t stick with the original subject.

			<description><![CDATA[ This is a post to explore why Brent Powers continually logs into TNA and doesn&#39;t post anything.
<br>
<br>
I mean what&#39;s up. It&#39;s not like he has to log in to lurk. He&#39;s a fabulous lurker, no question.
<br>
<br>
He seems like a nice guy too. But to see him continually log in and out of TNA all day long is spooky, sort of.
<br>
<br>
He is probably lonely like me.
<br>
<br>
To honor this steadfast man I will review one of his stories in the review section of this board.

<br>
<br>
This is not a story but a few descriptive phrases slapped together.
<br>
<br>
One thing about short story writing is that overuse of descriptive words/adjectives tends to obscure meaning; The use of simple description and more things
ACTUALLY HAPPENING in a story would be a good direction for curt to travel.

This story is interesting but badly put together I&#39;m afraid. The excessive use of commas is [too] distracting and this piece would work better as prose
poetry. There are also some incorrect punctuation as far as commas go. Still the only reason I&#39;m taking the time to write this now is I think it has
possibilities. A GOOD START, as it were.

mention Tourette&#39;s. Can anyone tell me which Vonnegut novel Tourette&#39;s played a minor part in? If you can you are well read, and I respect you. I guess
what I really like about the recent DLT stories is the fine imagination and bold concepts:
