Well, I owe one to all of you (that read the threads a course). Im firmly planted back in school, specifically Advanced Literature. If you can recall the first of these threads, the bit where me and my father get lost and whatnot, that was for a "Persuasive Writing" Assignment. I couldn't think of a better medium than these forums. That story was total fiction. However, your excellent reactions scored me a 7! For that I thank you. After I got back in the groove of school, the teacher wanted to see if I could do it again, just for a laugh. I couldnt think of a good reason for me to go back into the woods. Conviently (I geuss), my house actually did burn down, that part was true, I wouldnt write to elicit sympathy, that'd be low. The story about my dog getting skinned and all that was again fiction. I'd say that story was a failure, I played it too hard and y'all were much less beliving. Where am I going with this? An apology mostly. I am sorry for decieving everyone. I'd love to remain a part of the community, but if there is a lot of animosity (well earned animosity really) than I will bow out.

    No no, it was a good stunt. Too bad we didn't get to see your Corpse on the News somewhere in the Appalachians. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> Honestly, I really doubt anyone would care enough to hold it against you.

    BTW does that mean you are (as I and someone else had guessed) Area88?

    P.S. Was it really an assignment or just a prank?

    Yessir Loke, it's a 1-7 scale, International Baccalaureate grading system. And thanks Phoenix, glad you like King too, he gets snobbed far too often.

    Every popular writer gets snobbed sooner or later. Just because it happens doesn't mean that's the general opinion.

    BTW please give us BadKarma back. You're doing a good impression of him Mr. Monster but we miss him.

    I'm surprised you managed to worry so many people, what with this being the internet and all. I didn't pay too much attention to the writing style, but congrats on being less skeptical of the global community's gullibility. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    No sir, my house did actually burn down a third time. As I said, writing to elicit sympathy would be low.
