The work I started as "American Irony" took a drastically different turn, and I finally finished it! You can check it out, along with the rest of my website at http://www.geocities.com/corbydillon Happy reading!

As much as I hate to answer my own post :oops: , I'm very anxious to hear any feedback that anyone might have about my fic story, since it's my first completed. If you don't like it, that's fine with me, but I'd like to know if anyone has any opinions about it.

I would love to read it,but I'm having problems accessing your story.This box keeps poping up asking about how you want to read the file or something.

Ditto here. Your front page looks real spiffy, I love that scanner effect.

You need to have your story in HTML format so people can read it.

I'm sure it's a good story tho- but how about you let us know when it's up in the right format.

Thanks for the kind words about the site, I appreciate it(the site was designed to imitate and honor those first KR sites in appearance.) :)I set the fic up as a .doc that you can either download or open from there. I didn't have any problems with it while trying it out, but if it isn't working for you guys, I'll change it to HTML quickly and let you know when it's ready.

KIW - Knight Rider, good writing and science. Who says the Renaissance is over?

It's best to put it in HTML anyway, because sometimes .doc files can be incompatible with some browsers on the net.

Ok, I have made the necessary adjustments and a few updates to boot. It's all ready for the perusal of the general public now. :) Or, if you don't consider yourself general, but still part of the public, you can come and visit too :lol: Seeya round! Can't wait to hear your thoughts.

A fine first entry into fanfic writerdom, Darknight. :-) You seemed to capture more of a first season's feel to the banter between Michael and Kitt. Interesting twist at the end. It almost seems that should have happened more, what with the crowding of the genre -- 'hey what're you doing here!' :D

That was a pretty neat little story there! Hmm, how "ironic" that I used to watch McGyver and Airwolf along with Knight Rider when I was a kid.I think for your next story :wink: ,you should do a Knight Rider/McGyver crossover.Now that would be 8) !

Thanks guys... :oops: you're making me blush, heh. I'm quite glad that you all liked it. I worried a lot about its believability level, and if it would seem too childish. Of course, everyone is their own worst critic, I think. I generally have a love/hate relationship with my own writing, heh. Oh well. Thanks again. :)

Haha:) Thanks LadyKnight. You're very kind - my autograph isn't so wonderful though. It could use lots of practice, heh. I'm not great with D's. :wink:

Thanks again,

I have to admit, I have been so busy that I just got around to finally reading your story, and it truly did rock! It was very close to the original, it remained true to itself, as well as be a great display of plotline.

You will definitely have to keep on writing, your first out of the gate was wonderful!

Oh, I thought you wanted feedback. I guess you can't accept it properly. I can take it back, I guess.

*** BUZZ ***

Game over. Everyone take deep cleansing breaths. Out with the bad... In with the good. There. Much better.

Discuss the story all you want in the thread. Take personal comments to email. Otherwise we'll do a forced time-out and lock the thread overnight. Capice?

Thank you.

Mike

No, I actually did like your fan fic. Unfortunately, I am not liking you at this point. I don't know what your problem is, but abusing the board and me because of it, is really unbecoming of you.
