I really enjoyed reading these stories,very interesting! And I love the  long-hair drawings

I've actually come across that site before but have never read it, mostly because I find it rather creepy that one of the main characters of the story has the exact same first & middle name as I do.

Greetings:

Hi, Robin. Thanks for the plug for my novel and Anne and Autumn for the art compliments.

Cairn, I had to check your profile to see which character you refered, (fully expecting to see Kayla Christine, not that uncommon of a name).

I never expected to hear of another Kirby Ann (e)! Kirby is very uncommon name for a girl. I picked Ann for the middle name because it flowed well. Another intersting point is that my chacater lives in southern Illinois and your profile says 'Ill.'. My character has black hair (starting at slightly longer than classic length at first and ending knee length) parted down the middle. She writes and sings. She is shy at the beginning and comes around later due to Kayla.

She is a teen during this story as I see you are as well (just differrent time periods as my Kirby Ann would be 49 today). Much of my art is based on this charater as well, example:



I get search queries, as many as 5-7 a day with 'Kirby Ann' 'Kirby Ann Bauer' 'Kirby Ann hair' Kirby Ann Kayla' and others in the keywords. Many geneology sites come up with my novel but most are Ann Kirby. Never have I seen a Kirby Ann anything in these sites.

I find this fascinating! Please, come read the story!

Note: I have this novel at another server that doesn't have the popups.

KA, Hi. Kirby means 'from the church town', an old English name for a girl. I'm not real sure the exact circumstance when I chose Kayla and Kirby, but wanted an umcommon name starting with an uncommon letter. I think the names just came to me.

The lead for my other full length novel is Perla Dawn, probably even more uncommon.

So, what are your goals for hair length? I see you write as well. It's so fun and a great stress reliever!

Now to get to work on that last chapter........



PS, Robin - I finally got back on the bike. I rode two miles and got yet one more flat tire. UGHH!

My current goal is classic length. I've also always wanted hair long enough to sit on, but I think with my current lifestyle it'd be too much of a hassle to care for. Maybe someday...

And yes, I love to write as well, though I've never finished anything as expansive as you have (mostly for lack of  time). I plan on majoring in either English or writing in college, though I'm not totally sure what I want to do from there; perhaps freelance writing. We'll see.

Sir Rat;
I am happy and sad about this being the final chapter of Best Friends.  I will be sure to read it once January is over and I have a few minutes of my own time back.

As for the gal you couldn't come right out an say what you really wanted to say...... I believe that your warm, positive thoughts will somehow make their way to her.  Many of us receive few compliments on our hair in real life, but we KNOW our hair is being observed, appreciated, and even envied by the many who have no voice.  Your writing and artwork tells us how much you enjoy long hair - You do soooo much more than most in communicating.

How cool is that.
I have an interesting story too(at least I hope you think it's interesting)
My boyfriend has an identical twin. He is getting married in about a month. His bride-to-be has butt length hair and it's brown. People think we are twins. This may be because our hair length or color or our smily personalities. I don't know. Mine is curly and her's is straight, but if you take the ends of both and mix them together in your hand, you can't tell which is which. Kind of fun. The fact that both our boys fell for girls like us is an interesting concept.
