So pretend we're not talking about anyone you know. This woman used to hang out here all the time. She got all caught up in the stories, I mean really caught up. Couldn't wait for the next installments, considered starting a fan club for the writers, etc. She was an FRL groupie, that's for sure.

Then she had to get a job and go back to school and some other stuff came up, and she didn't get online for weeks. In the meantime, the stories got finished without her. She didn't find out what happened at the end. Can you imagine such deprivation?

The job and the school require something like 60 hours per week of staring at a computer screen. Her eyes are not so good. She needs to print the stories out in a large font and read them in bed. She can't find the stories. Looking for the stories in the lists is difficult, not to mention that she tried and can't find them anyway.

Could someone please link all the story threads from the time Pat the Beaver got rescued the first time and from when the "snow man" had kidnapped the boy and trapped him in darkness. The suspense is killing me...er...that woman I'm talking about.

Thanks!

Wow! That's a pretty tall order. Lettuce see. The snowman/darkness story was that wonderful effort of kritters, and if I remember correctly it was all on one thread. So finding it shouldn't be that hard.

The Beaver stories though are a different matter. I started those crazy stories over a year ago and there are a bunch of them. And then there are the two 'collaboration' stories with the masterful writing of Lon. The first of these was in two parts (two threads), and the latest one was a story that Lon had started and then I joined - but that one hasn't been finished yet. Anyway, I'll poke around and try and post links to the Beaver Saga for you on this thread.

Ok, here we go. Since Pat has been rescued any number of times and I'm not sure where to begin , I just figured on writing down the links in the order that the stories were written. There were some earlier beaver stories than these, but I think they were sort of embedded on other FRL threads.

All of the following links are archived in the 'Silly Stuff' Threads section, except the last - that one is in the 'Uncategorized' archive. It is probably the 'Pat goes on a mission' thread, and the last one called 'On with the Story', that you want to ketchup on. Keep in mind that this last one hasn't been finished yet!
