Slowly I see that work is starting to calm finally. It's been a rough couple of weeks. Been slowly but surely cleaning up so I can finally get other things done that I need. I'm also working on getting replies done. I haven't forgotten, just overwhelmed lately

Don't know about holographically-camouflaged towns

[sdelaforge]

Actually it's comments such as this, that I appreciate. For it points out things I don't see - your right. A lot of authors over-think, and I'm guilty of just that. But I know once I simplify it it comes out /better/.

One good reason for the town in Appalachia, is the low-population density that could hide the town. Your various examples was another great idea and point as well.

I think of things like Area 51, or for that matter. Until the zomorphs could be unveiled, would someone believe a person that come out and says "I saw deer walking on 2 legs! here in this town" In the late 21th century with photoshopping, and skilled artists they couldn't photograph or video it, and prove it either. So you have a great idea. I'm seeing this town much like "Eureka" from the show.

Mind if you read my first drafts of my stories sometime before I publish them? or submit it to web sites? You have a great eye.

I wouldn't mind reading the drafts, when you feel that you can expose them.

I haven't watched Eureka, so I don't quite know what you mean, but I keep thinking KISS when I ponder on how to hide something from public view. 'Course, what you said about photoshop devaluing photographic evidence is quite true. :D

And if you choose a spot where it'd be fertile ground for rumour-milling... Heck, you could have the support organization upload real photos and then claim to debunk it by 'recognizing the pixels'... :D

Thank you. I'll send you a link in a private e-mail. I just added a new chapter, and would love more input on it.

Your tips are great. I've copied this to my notes, and I'll consider all of these. Right now I haven't even bought the ingredients to start such a story, much less mixed them into a cake :). But any ideas I can get for a story is welcome.

Thanks! E-mail coming
