SciFi & Fantasy Fiction and Stories by Rick Smith

Hihi! You know I love your writings and art (if you drew character pictures for folks like me I'd worship you =P )- just dropping in to tell you I updated my writers's spot (I'm up to 32 now) and am hoping you can visit again because I really value your opinions on my work. And ya never did write the music for my Madien's Lament, but that's okay too. =)

You are much luckier than me at getting prople to read and comment on your work. I love your ballads, but I'm not so keen on your long 'book' Sorry. I am a big fan of teen fantasy but this isn't my taste. A bit too Enid Blighton for me, but then I've only scanned it and haven't done it any justice. I have also printed it out though and I'll give it a better reading tonight. On first read I think it is publishable though. I would love to read a story based in the complex world of your soldiers, or vampires. I wonder if I should expose my book here for critism? Hmmm.... I can't even get people to read the forsaken, which is only three chapters long. I think I'll put up the first chapter and see what response I get. Thankyou again for visiting my gallery and Library. I look forward to reading more of your work as you write it.

Hi Rick, I have yet to read all your works, but what I've read of your poetry I've liked immensely. Your poetry is beautiful, moving and passionate...Will be back...

Hi, I really like your writings and drawings. You offered your help in Amethyst-Alliance, I welcome it!

The more I read, the more I am in awe. I know nothing about the structure of poetry or ballads or sonnets. I just sit down and write, usually in a blur to get it on paper before I forget! Your knowledge is incredible! I am humbled, as you always speak kindly of my works. I thank you, kind sir! I'm posting pieces of my major-work-in-progress, if you get a chance to revisit. I'm going to be back more often, now that my computer is working better!

Your songs are beautiful. I'm sooooo bokmarking - I have found a person who writes poetry like I've always wanted to write...

I must say that you have a new groupie in your fan club, Rick dahlink. I could read your pieces forever, if forever weren't so short. I've fallen in love with your unique way of expressing tragedy, sorrow, death, love and life itself - Such beautiful words for something not quite so. You perplex me, and so I've been intruiged. I'll be back on another eve to finish what I've started.

*Gives a two fingered salut, and slinks off into the shadows..*

very good! Love your work! Be sure to check me out next year!
