Hi, Daniel. Thanks for reading 'Sagacious Abridgment.' I appreciate your insightful comment.

Matt Robinson – Aug 06, 2012

Appreciate the compliment on "The Second Sun," Daniel. As for the science: original research. ;)

dear Daniel, thank you very much for commenting on “arachnophobia”. I appreciate it very much.

Gloria Garfunkel – Aug 02, 2012

Thank you for your funny comment on Spaghetti Woman. Any food hanging from beards is funny.

Gloria Garfunkel – Aug 01, 2012

Thank you for your long comment on Reading at the Table and I left you a long one back there. I enjoyed your story Similarities as well.

Ann Bogle – Aug 01, 2012

Dan, thanks for your comment on "Twedes." Insular struck me. My family (not meaning my grandmother's original family) is like a bicycle wheel and we are its spokes, non-intersecting neighbors across coasts, threaded to EMC2 hub.

Gloria Garfunkel – Jul 22, 2012

I'm here again, to thank you for your fine comment on Birds of Prayer. I left a lengthy response there.

Gloria Garfunkel – Jul 21, 2012

I responded with a lengthy note on my wall to your lengthy note on my wall. There are myriad places to post and it's often confusing what's the best place. That was a great comment.

Gloria Garfunkel – Jul 16, 2012

Thank you for your message about Pig Girl and for the fave. I am noticing that you, like me, are new to Fictionaut. It's been an amazing experience and I've only been here two days. Welcome!

Ann Bogle – Jun 17, 2012

Welcome to Fictionaut, Dan. I look forward to reading more of your stories.
