granny2billy: my thoughts exactly granny.
On the other story, the 2nd last post was 11 days prior to the last post. I think that proves beyond any doubt that interest was long ago lost on the original story.

Maybe the moderator of this board should pay more attention to this and form a new rule where at least one or 2 posts per day must be made on one story or else it is toast. There doesnt seem to be any strict guidelines as to how the end of a story is indicated.

SafariGal:  I do pay attention to this board.  And I know that starting a new story when the other one isn't finished will simply kill the first story.  And likely, the story you just started, will not finish either. 

Generally it's up to the starter to finish a story.  I can easily add that to the above guidelines.  The guidelines are there for a reason.  You chose to ignore them.  Imagine now if someone else decides to start a new story.  Are you ok with that?  and then another story starts too.  And another. 

The rules says ONE story at a time.  The proper thing to do is to PM me rather than make up your own rule.  And the CURRENT story had an entry the DAY BEFORE you posted a new story.  So it was still active.

But go ahead, operate by your own rules here.  I still haven't decided what to do about this.  Try not to worry as my options are open.  I'll let you know as soon as I've made a decision.  Trust me that I will do something.
