Hi ya.

I just made this cool fractal, but rendering it is going to take like 26 hours. I can't leave my computer on for that long,

I know that some of you have these need rendering programs that could cut that time down to like 5 hours or so, so I'm asking for help.

Here are the prams.

I would love any help that you can give me.

Ok. Off to bed.

I was willing to let this go, but I just couldn't.

Later.

P.S.

I got the prams from here. They are not all mine. I'm tweaking them.




=======================


The time is now later. I have render. I posted it and it's in my two fractal clubs.



Thanks to everyone for helping and to for her rendering help.

I kinda talked myself into doing a beta job of this story that I got through one of my clubs.

The lack of sleep is playing with my memory, but when I did it, I was sure it was just a one shot, then I read another story that I liked, and ended up talking to the person I was doing the beta job for and the one who wrote the other story at the same time.

Well somehow by the time I was done with going over the story and sending it off to him, I seem to think that I ended up working on a three parter when I didn't have the time and I had 'turned my back' on my own story for school.

Well I went over to their page to see the other chapters and found the copy I had sent them already posted up, but not submitted to the club yet. The next thing I saw was that there were no other parts. Yeah!

So I don't have to feel bad about leaving people with an incomplete 'story' twice in one year.

So here is the link.



Enjoy, comment, and share.

PS, for those of you who don't really know me, I do gay sex stories. I should just say sex stories, but I've been living in BxB, B/B, M/M, yaoi, or gay, or any other words you want to use, for a while now and only once in a while a girl shows up.

Later.

... EDIT...

Ok, it's later. April 7th to be exact.

I did another beta project for the same writer.



It looks like I may be doing all the ones that are already posted, but I'm going to try really hard to stop myself from doing anymore for the next 6 weeks.

... EDIT...

Back again. April 30th.

I did one more over the weekend. It was something of a reward for myself for getting a good score on my last exam. It also turned out to be the last one I'll ever do unless the original writer changes his mind. He thanked me for my help, and is willing to work with me again, but I think I pushed my welcome. No hard feelings all around.

So here is the last link and the last update for this journal.

Hotel Hook-Up rewrite by JemGirl Ten college aged boys carrying over night bags, that had been with them much longer, walked into the lobby of a decent sized hotel for the first time in two weeks. They all stood in front of the reception desk and waited for their coach to walk past them to check the team in. When he was finished he turned around holding a bunch of key cards that he gave to the assistant coach to hand out before turning to get the second set from the lady behind the desk.

"There is no rhyme or reason to who bunks with who tonight," the coach said as he watched James, the assistant, as he handed out the last of the six cards he had been given. "Those of you w

So go by, read, and leave some comments. Let us know if it works or not. He isn't taking down the originals so you can see both versions.

I just realized that this doesn't have a proper cover, so I'm asking for help in getting one.

If you want to make one, let me know (send me the link) and I'll let you know if I like it enough to use it. If I don't, I'll still post a link to your work as a thank you.

I'll will look at photos that have been made into covers or are given as consideration to be turned into a cover by myself. I will also post links to the ones that aren't picked.

If you want a direction for your piece, send me a note. If you don't then I just have one rule. Don't be vulgar.

If you have not read it yet here is some info.

It's the first story that I posted here on DA.



This is about a guy who lives with his lover. Both of them. Oh, and he's bi.

This was to be my first story to a sex site but it didn't happen. The site never got back to me. So it became my story posted here on DA.

I have posted each chapter by itself, and I have the download-able copy as you see.

It kinda goes without saying, if this isn't your cup of tea don't look at the story and just move on past this short little journal.

Any questions?

"You didn't see my gallery?

You didn't follow one of my fractals back to my profile page?

You are not a yaoi fan?

How can you give something named 'badge' to someone and you don't even know what they do/post?

I'm sorry for placing this in a reply to you, but I just had to so say it. No one knows about my photo, my stories, my fractals, my stamps, my poems, or my wallpapers, but they have been handing me badges.

If you want to give me something, because you just want to be kind, give me points. .... I'm going to stop now.

Thank you for giving me something to write up a journal about. "


That was something I almost sent to someone a few minutes ago. I edited it down a bit before I sent it off since I didn't want to make them feel bad.

I like getting badges, but badges that have a reason behind them. If you really want to go around handing stuff out for no reason, give out points. But if I think of that too long, I would think the same thing. That they would have to be 'earned' some how. But after 10 or so people and maybe 500 points, I would just be grateful as I used the points to get something from the DA shop.

Ok, I might as well talk about something.... I have messed up my night. It's 6am and I haven't gone to sleep yet. Can I use that as an excuse for snapping at the poor guy who gave me a badge?

bye bye.
