aww man hurry up you damn internet, i can't be here all day watching you upload my last story! i want to get out later you know?!

aww man hurry up you damn internet, i can't be here all day watching you upload my last story! i want to get out later you know?! Hey what the hell?! Error?! aww man not again, my brain runs better then you! and im very sure that had gave up the ghost a few years back, i will deal with you hunka junk later! Oh why hello there this isn't really much of a story but it is just mainly to say that the last part of my "Life through green eyes" will be my last story. Now because i am such a nice guy i am writing this as kind of a thank you to the people who have liked my stories and have given me support ever since i signed up back in Septemeber 2006 hmm?..whats that? you are curious to know why i am going to stop writing? well there are a couple of reasons actually Well there comes a time in life when you have to just stop and move on, lately i just haven't been enjoying writing as much as i did when i first started, and it has become increasingly more difficult to catch the eyes of the readers here on TSR huh what's that? you want to know what got me to join TSR, and write storys for them? ok i can tell you it was back in the summer of 2006 and yes it is based on a true story. It was of the hottest summers i ever faced, I also had alot more hair on my head and less facial hair on my face back then, I finally managed to move again from a back injury i got in a kickboxing lesson which left me bed ridden for three long weeks, but that wasn't the end of it though, i had a month of physiotherapy to show me what i needed to do to reduce the risks of having the same thing happen again The bad news was, my parents were working, which meant i was stuck at home with my big brother Glen all summer, he was going to a university up in London at the end of the summer holidays and i was starting a course in college. We didn't get along very well back then though, we were often at each others throats or thinking of many diffirent ways to get underneath each others skin. Because it was going to be a long summer i thought i would type up a novel sized story, it took me a while to think up a name but i knew what i wanted it to about, I called it "The Mercenaries" in the end because it was about Mercenaries with a kind and careing leader called Cyrus taking on many armies on there own by using Hit and Run tactics but in the end having to join the army with the most money Meanwhile Glen spent most of his time on MSN chatting to friends who were already in university, or trying to organise his own enrolment, there was alot of planning and it was alot of stress both for him and my parents I was really getting into typing up my novel and my bro could see that, he suggested that there had to be a site out there where i could publish it on or something and maybe even get paid money for doing so. I got my GCSE results near the end of the summer holidays, (if you don't know GCSE's determine how good your job will be in the future) I was horrified at the fact i got only one C and that was in English Literature (which is basically writing) the rest were mainly D's or E's Shattered by my GCSE Results though i wasn't going to give up, i looked on the internet if there was any place i could put my "Mercenaries" Novel on when i finish it till i came across a site called TSR which was mainly about the PC version of Sims 2, i played the PS2 versions but i never had a pc good enough for the pc version, even though it wasn't what i was looking for, i had a look around to find that it had a storytelling section where people put there work on where back then everyone read your hard work, so i found a site but there was one problem i didn't have a copy of the game! Which was easy enough since i was working on the saturdays for a nice fat wage packet! I ended up puting my Mercenary story on hold and started to experiment around in Sims 2 because it was quite diffirent from the PS2 version. So a pack of hair dye and loads of hair Gel later (and the annoying facial hair of doom!), i settled into college hoping to turn my life around and began working on my first story "Two Brothers dream" i remember how frustrating it was considering i had to wait three weeks before it was finally published on the site and by that time i had part two done they were published together, but it was worth it in the end because the stories did quite well and i made a friend in the process, a TSR member who calls himself Slime. So that is how i got into writing for TSR and made a friend in the process who continued to give me support and advice with the rest of the storys i wrote, Over my time as a story writer i also made friends with Josh1092, Carol84, and someone who is new to TSR "winnie" or SAP as she liked to be called, i hope your stay here is enjoyable, im sure you are fitting in nicely Whats that? you are interested in what i am going to do next? well that is quite an interesting question Well for one thing i am going to do something which i always wanted to do but never had time for, learn to play the electric guitar! a couple of my old school friends can play, so i thought i would learn as well. I always wanted to make music videos as well, but as before never really had time for, i am not planning to submit them anywhere, but when i get the hang of it i might well submit them to sites because i am often known for changeing my mind later on down the road. I can finally continue my Mercenaries novel as well, who knows it could make me alot of money one day Ultimately i will devote more time to reading and commenting other peoples work, It is the least i can do, and i am eager to see if my friends on TSR have made any new storys for me to read. Was that the doorbell i just heard reader? yes? Good they have arrived, who you say? well some of my friends, i gave out five invitations to five TSR members on the site for them to appear here today, sadly only three actually contacted me back about it, but three is better then none. You might know some of them reader and even if you do i will still introduce them to you.


Note to Carol84, Josh1092 and Slime- This is my own rough guess of what you look like, i apologise in advance if i offend you with how you look in this story or if it all wrong.
This here is Slime, he has read every single one of my storys and has given me advice on my stories and neverending support as well! This here is Josh, I met him a bit later on when i was working on my "Family ties, ghosts and the sweatheart" story. He gave me some advice and i ended up making that advice into my "Some people are not what they seem" Story. He also gave me some ideas on this very story. He has also made the cute and funfilled stories from an animal's point of view. And last but not least Carol84, You probably know her as the successful author of "The Identity", "The unexpected", "The arrangement" and "Jazmine". best thing is reader, i set up some stuff in the back to celebrate the momment of me retiring (well i don't know a better word for it) I even left out poppers, sparklers, noisemakers and party horns. yeah i am just a big overgrown kid at times but how can you not like this stuff! To tell you the truth reader i never knew how fun these sparklers are, Why don't you pick one up and join in. See even Carol84 has joined in and Slime is having a blast. Sparklers are good clean fun. When the sparklers ran out Josh was kind enough to hold us a toast, grab a glass reader and join the toast

Josh - You might not of been the most popular writer, or the best writer, but i know i can say two things in confidence, i know you put every bit of effort you had into making your stories fun and engaging to read from the momment you started and i know to some people it is a shame that you are stopping, but your rest is certainly well earnt!
Thank you! man this has all been so great and i now is the time to thank the rest of the people who have left nice comments on my stories and always asked for more
Thank you to
Blueclarity25 , MoriaG , Annikayna , BBKZ , Female_Redd , eshuff , Mistress_useless , Emerald_Lexus , Shady411 , Pete789 , Matapiero , VEperfect, Sandybvv, clcwest411 , manuela55, Bflosweethart and many many more who read, enjoyed and commented my storys.

Now for one last thing before i give up the writing game, let me just get this popper.
Just remember don't be sad that i am giving up writing, i am not going anywhere, be happy for me because i am have a rest now and for you because i now have more spare time to repay the favour and leave nice comments on your stories!

THE END

Lord_Cyrus' thanks to the fans

    I am Sad to see that you will not be writting for us any more.. I am fairly new to this as well and just had the courage to start submitting my own feeble attempts at writing some did fairly well, but my favorite kind of bombed... it is really hard to figure out why some stories that seem so dumb and pointless get so many hits and responses and others that are really really good do not get the same interest.. there are some fantastic writers on this forum and I think you are one of them... I wish you well and hope you enjoy the guitar.. my Brother is teaching his oldest son to play.. so if you are ever in Tokyo Japan just look for two white Americans who look out of place in a Kayoke bar playing a guitar..

    Good luck and Hope to see you back hear in the future.. and publish that novel... I started a novel and like you have not finished, now I do not know if I ever will... but you can only hope and continue to dream

    thanks for sharing your mind with me and your stories... I enjoyed them more than you can ever know.

    you are a great writer... thank you so much for sharing your stories, hopefully we will read you again soon!. good luck in everything you do!! \:rah\:

    This is extremely well written. Your writing simply flows and you're able to capture both the emotion and the situation without a lot of useless description. I don't know if you'll get this, but if you do, let me know when you publish anything. I'd really like to read it. And this is an open invitation to check out my blog too. The address is on my page. Good luck but I'm sure you'll do fine. -- Beth
