    Hey there, Gerald. Good to see you here. I sent you an email when I started the place up. Guess it got chewed by the spam monkeys.

    Thanks, Daniel. I received the invite. Thought I'd scope things out for a few days before joining. Glad to be here.

    I'd have done the same if it wasn't my creation. :)

    What do you think of my new, South Park style icon?

    Mar 17, 2007

  • John DuMond

    I like the new icon, Gerald. Is that a light saber you have there? Better be careful, you can put an eye out with one of those. Or so I've heard.

    It is indeed a lightsaber, "an elegant weapon from a more civilized age." I would have preferred a blue or green one, but they weren't in stock.

    Here's my third icon. Does everyone on Crimespace have a picture of themselves wearing shades?

    Thanks for the kind words, Tony. I leave the reviews of online stories to the others on NBS. As Thrilling Detective Fiction Editor, I don't want to seen as favoring or criticizing another e-zine. Feel free to ask the others, though.

    Taking off my reviewer hat, it's great to see a new mag on the block. I may have a bloody, violent story for you soon.

    Hi, Gerald, I'm a brand new member and I clicked on to your page from Forum when I noticed a reference to 'Burn Notice.' I happened to view a couple of episodes of that show awhile back and I liked them, which is rare since I don't like much new crime tv. Anyway, thought I'd give you my best before continuing my initial exploration of the site.

    Gerald,
    I didn't realize you were a member here. I have been a reader of Thrilling Detective since I stumbled across it years ago. Your predecessor was editing at the time I found it.

    I almost had a heart attack when I pulled it up and saw the birthday page. I thought you guys were about to give up the ghost. I finally figured you were just on hiatus for a while so I survived.

    I really enjoy the work you guys produce.Thank you for many entertaining hours.
