Ok, I have to admit it’s been a really long time… a year. It will be a bit but I am cleaning up and planning what to do with the group. Aros and I didn’t want to really give up on our brain baby, but life and procrastination and more life got in the way of things so we neglected it badly. Things will probably have to change before either of us picks this group back up. But you will all have to keep track of the journals till then.

In the mean time, old rules will still apply, though I will not be posting any new digest, until things get more situated. I’ll add the people that asked to join, via note, and if any of you wish to join send us a note asking so. But don’t ask us to post your story in the digest, and all notes that were asking so during our ‘vacation’ will get deleted sorry to say.

On a personal note I am surprised and actually happy that we got as far as we did, and thank you all very much for your support, from watches or just showing an interest enough to view the page to even those that sent in stories they wanted critique and views from. It’s very fulfilling to see and idea you came up with come to life and do well.

So yeah, stay tuned as alwasy and I will hope to have this place back up for business soon!

Thanks again

A Late update , sorry for that, But an update all the same!

O wow, you guys have once again amazed us with you support, bringing in a big list of watchers over the past month as well as new blood to our group. We thank all of you for being patient with us and proving to us over the time that we do have a good and growing fan base.

A few minor things I will bring up though, is that we have updated the guidelines posted in the page a bit concerning sending us notes for your story. Also not mention on there is that by sending us a story for critique your asking to join our group, and will be treated as a member. And one last note, we would like to ask people not to post up links to their stories in our shout box. A few new people posted up link that aren’t getting submitted because of that and if it continues member or not we will have to block you for a short time after a fair warning of course.

Without further ado, here is your digest.

Jump into world in where the very binds of society were changed, Moral lines are blurred, and Where one person discovers something, that could cause all of it to crumble.

Happy anniversary! It's today that the Writers' Block is one year old! I say anniversary instead of birthday because it's about all of us coming together to critique in a helpful environment, a union, if you will.

A few things before we go about this weeks digest. One sorry for skipping out on last week, I wanted to test and see if we should try bi weekly or just twice a month to see if it would be easier. It didn’t feel right so we will be back to a bi weekly posting.

Two I am not pointing out anybody but please you guys Read our rules and guidelines for not only joining but submitting stories. Please I cant stress this enough that most of you are writers yet don’t seem to read the rules before going about what you do. If you have questions about the rules we don’t mind if you post them in the shout box or sending Aroslion or Bluedude a note for a faster response. Thank you.

The Gym

http://www.furaffinity.net/view/2764440
“Okay so this involves humans, but one of the main characters is sewn upon and made to look like a dog or wolf. So iff'n you aren't into humans getting it on then don't read.

In my book this is kinda tame for me, just some guys having sex with a woman that has to pay off some debt to the gym. Not really sure where the idea came from of this, but enjoy it for what it is I guess. Also sorry if the end seems kinda sloppy or rushed. I loved the beginning but couldn't draw up alot to do the ending as well.”

Spider's Eggs

“From my messed up mind I give you this which I worked on all night. A giant spider ensnares a college student and impregnates her with her eggs. Eventually the eggs hatch and kill their host. Sorry if it runs a little long!

Alot of the information about the spider's behavior, actions, eggs, ect. were taken from real life info on spiders and other insects that use host creatures for their eggs. I tried to make it as believable as possible, and I hope to have more or less pulled it off.”

"The new year begins in a snow-storm of white vows."
~George William Curtis

We are not dead, just being lazy from the holidays -3- He sleeps mostly and takes naps and I just act lazy and eat for winter. Ok now all jokes aside we have been on a very bad neglect streak and were sorry for that. We don’t have much else of an excuse beside that.

Now for a little but of an update, we will now be moving to a bi-weekly or every other week posting of the digest due to lack of submissions during some weeks. We understand that not every week is going to be full of stories, but we appreciate everyone that supported us and flooded us with stories when they saw we had nothing for that week. You guys have been very supportive of us and we need to show our appreciation to you guys better then this.

Also we, or one of us, have been stalking the FA forums Writers Bloc section and you might see some updates or link there every now and then.

Lastly we will begin re-posting of the digest this January 1st 2010. And the next will be posted back on its regularly Sunday schedule (I.e. the 13th) so now’s the time to either join or submit something to us for the new years.

We hope you had a happy holiday and enjoy the New Year!!

~Writers Block

P.S. If you’ve already submitted something to us we will be sure to post it up with the digest.

He Ran to Save the Hundred
by  yelleena
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/3040325
A very interesting experiment in prose poetry.

Also, we want to let you guys know about  fawriters, another writing group here on FurAffinity. They're more focused on being a helpful community than providing an outlet for critique, so include both of us (please?) and get double the fun. They've got a lot of helpful guides and a few other stories with critique requests that could certainly use your help.

I admit it has exceeded our expectations with its growth and popularity over the past few months and it wouldn’t have gotten this way without you guys so far. We’d also like to apologize for our late updates as of recently, using real life as an excuse couldn’t justify our tardiness spree enough so we do thank you for being patient with us.

Also I have an interesting challenge to all that read this. If you’re willing write one paragraph, 5 or more sentences, describing the weather outside and try to have it follow the mood or feeling that you get when you look at it. Post it here (journal or under the submission) as a reply if you’d like or on your page and link it.

If this goes pretty well I might be willing to try more interactive stuff in the future.

“There are things that one requires, that not even his mate can promise him. It doesn't have to be erotic things. Something as simple, even, as holding your loved one and telling him that he will always be safe in your hands. For some odd reason, I will never have that simple luxury. This feeling is not unlike being stranded in barren waters, where you are alone and helpless, save your own tenacity. This is a poem describing such feelings.”
