Kappa Tracks

"A story is made up of words and characters. Are the words well chosen and do the characters live? All the rest is literary gossip."

My six decade love affair with the English language compels me to offer a list of authors whose work meets my critical standards. The single criterion operant is the quality of the prose as composed by the writers. I have made no discrimination whatsoever as to subject matter, theme, or plot.

Therefore be warned!

A great many of the works here listed may involve themes or subjects repugnant to some readers. I can only advise that if a particular story cannot be stomached, go on to the next; you will find at least a few to be to your taste.

The passing of...

"Lonesome George".. was remarked upon with a posting
on the ff site today...it included an A/N noting the
dearth of 'stories' dealing with the extinction of a species..
mentioning that neither the cartoons nor movies make
any reference to the terrible "X" factor in the lives
of TMNT.
Well, the Kappa has a reference for you young ones...
Go way, way back to Mirage's Vol. One...and peruse
carefully issue number 28, dated Feb. 1990....
examine pp.40, 41 & 42....its all there...
the horrible realization by four male creatures
and their friends...
*************
It's sad that the inimitable GreenWillow has had
to take down her site..losing for the rest of us her
solution...
"But what does he look like?"
"Like you, of course, but..you know.. smaller.."
It's a great story and beautifully written...
