Badger_29: I met an artist @fanart.com, an mkflood, who has it against us fanstorians for utilizing their artwork for free.
Now I for one usually
1) Don't use fanart.com for my pics,
2) usually, but NOT ALWAYS remember to thank them. So, please forgive me for not thanking you!
    Sankey: Because Fanstory and Fanart and FanMusic are all part of Tom's stable we do have permission to use stuff from any of the above. I always thank them. Some even allowed me my own copy of their work to add to my books with acknowledgement of their ownerships. -
    FanStory: Artists on FanArtReview give FanStory authors permission when they post. They can choose not to give that permission. Without that permission you won't have the ability to select that artists work. So if this artist does not want FanStory members to use his work he can edit his post to remove that option for FanStory members. I'll let him know. -
    Badger_29: Thank you Tom for your feedback -

Badger_29: I have to admit, I got some great reviews on my Oster is sweet and I did not even remember writing it a epilogue. The reason I'm promoting this is because trauma relapsing addict I went back out and did more research after I wrote this and have the clean time. My clean date is August 1st 2020 and hopefully by the time you read this on today the 6th I will have had six days clean 7th will be one week and my actions will speak louder than my words so I will say no more at this point only that I got so sick of it that I had to quit again.
Remember me in your prayers, and count your blessings!

    MissMerri: What does this mean??? I'm sorry but my aging brain can't comprehend. ;p But my curiosity is killing me! -
    Badger_29: It means 1) we have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, and
    2) We are bored and disturbed
    3) Do you really need a 3rd reason? -
    Dean Kuch: The circumference of a circle is found with the formula C= π*d = 2*π*r. Thus pi equals a circle's circumference divided by its diameter. -

The forms of things unknown, the poet's pen
Turns them to shapes and gives to airy nothing
A local habitation and a name."
