Mike
Prolific Writer

Hello!! Just wanted to drop by and see who was around.

Thanks for the message Mike. I actually have no Chinese heritage or ancestry whatsoever, and had to translate your question. I just have a keen interest in Chinese culture, mythology and history. (And of course, with having a unique username that prompts a bit of conversation.)

Thanks for the greeting. At my age it's best to celebrate quietly. No drunken bar fights over a woman. Well, maybe just one.

Woah, there's something called a 'cp' button that I didn't even know about until Malone pointed it out, and now I see these two messages and feel like a snob for ignoring you guys. Sorry.

Alan, I've never read George RR Martin. My younger sister gobbles up fantasy and sci-fi, but I've only 'breached the hull,' as they say. The sci-fi author's I've read so far are: Margaret Atwood, Octavia Butler, Jim Butcher, David Weber, Simon R. Green, Elizabeth Moon, and a few others I can't remember at the moment. I've also read an anthology of feminist sci-fi stories from the 1920s to the present, which was interesting to see how (un)subtle some of the writers were.

your lm reminded me of some of George RR Marin's science fiction short stories

hallo there Mike
