harley:

and move on from what more and more looks like unwarranted harrassment?

I'm happy with that.

Eriisa:


Anyone can express an opinion, provided it is just that, and not boardering on flaming, which in my opinion being told I am er ' stretching the truth ' is.

Eriisa:

Put like that, it does to me too.

harley:


I write on other sites, including that one, under a couple of other names i.e more than one, so more than one er profile. I also use another name (as others there do) to review from. I have so far got nothing, apart from a couple of reviews panning it!

I apologise if you think it was inappropriate to mention your daughter's name, it was her age and vulnerability that were particularly on my mind at the time.

harley:

I too agree with crediting original authors.

harley:

I mentioned your daughter because she has more than once contributed here, at 9 years old the youngest to have done so as far as I know (and also therefore the most vulnerable)

I write on that particular site (and others) and have done for a couple of years. I know for a fact that that particular one has some material which in my opinion both as a moderator and as a parent makes it unsuitable for posting a link to on a public board.

I only post my own work.

NOT a floosie:

But that is original story. That particular site has quite a few stories very unsuitable for younger people, so I wouldn't have personally posted that link on a public board. Winnie, for example, is way too young for much of it.

NOT a floosie:

I also write on other sites, including that one, under a couple of other names, including the one you highlighted. I adapted it slightly to make it more appropriate for here.

(Had I seen your post I would have answered it)

Click on 'reply' on the bottom left hand corner of the one you want to add to and write your contribution to the story.
Yes ~ it's fun! the censorship is merely a reminder that this is a public board to which children have access and so to watch the language a bit, nothing more than that.

James Du Maresq Clavell(1924–1994), Australian-born American writer, scriptwriter, film director, and producer. Born in Sydney, he was the son of a British commander stationed in Australia to help establish the Royal Australian Navy. When Clavell was nine months old, his family was posted back to England, where he was educated at Portsmouth Grammar School. He left the school at the outbreak of World War II to join the Royal Artillery as a young captain. In 1941 he was captured by the Japanese in Java and, at the age of 18, was shipped to Changi jail in Singapore, where he remained until the end of the war.

In 1953 he moved to Hollywood, where he embarked on a career as a scriptwriter and, later, producer and director. His best-selling novels include King Rat (1962), Tai-Pan (1966), Shogun (1975), Noble House (1981), Whirlwind (1986), and Gai-Jin (1993). His successful works as a scriptwriter include the cult sci-fi film The Fly (1958) and the prisoner-of-war drama The Great Escape (1966). Clavell also wrote, produced and directed To Sir With Love (1966). By the time his film The Last Valley (1969), a meditation on men at war starring British actor Michael Caine, appeared, Clavell was already a best-selling novelist.

Tai-Pan, Shogun, and Noble House were made into TV mini-series, which Clavell produced. When Shogun went on air in 1980 starring Richard Chamberlain, it became the second highest rated mini-series in history. Shogun the musical followed on Broadway in 1989.

I know you are ~ I was just making sure of the age~group you wanted, also there is quite a big difference between what primary school children (up to 10/11) read and what 11/12 year old secondary school children read. Although I started school in Wisconsin not England, it was a long time ago and I wasn't too sure what age elementary schools covered.

DanDanDan:

Monkey Crazzy is 12, likes scary things, she read most of those, quite a few when she was younger.

Alvin Achwartz wrote 'Scary Stories to tell in the dark'
and 'More Scary Stories to tell in the dark'
also: 'Ghosts ~ ghostly tales from folklore',
are some of what she has read over the past years ~ she seems to enjoy his books.

DanDanDan:

4 - 11 in this country are primary, over 11 are secondary.

DanDanDan:

Elementary? Not too sure how old you mean exactly, but my own are between 12 and 15, and enjoy reading, including these:
