Counting Down to the 2028 50th Anniversary of my first published book (September 23, 1978)
Happy 2026!
It is our 30th anniversary here at Space Dock 13!
On the web since 1996!
You have encountered an extremely old website that continues to exist in old web ways, the same way it has done for now three decades.
In spite of being now 30 years old this year, started in 1996, it is still heavily active and old pages updated daily, new pages added daily, still now in 2026. All hand written, all hand coded (no AI), all by me, same as it ever was.
We Still Exist: The Old Web Did Not Go Away, You Just Forgot How To Find Us

This site was NOT designed for mobile devices (as they had not been invented yet when I created it) thus this site looks best on a computer, at 1280x768 or above. |
This is a very old website created in 1996, so, yes, javascript is needed for the site to work as it should. If things don't function, you may need to update javascript drivers on your device |
This site tries to be mobile friendly but it's been online since 1996, so old pages may not load right on mobile devices, and as this site has had pages added near daily for 30 years there are now over 20k pages here. |
Having started out in life as a GeoCities site, this site contains glitter, bright colours, blinkies, moving gifs, and other things the old web was known for. |

 Wendy Christine Allen, 2019, able to sit up in a chair for the first time in years, and able to raise up my arm and wiggle fingers. This was when I started playing Witcher 3 on Twitch as part of my physical therapy to regain finger movement. Playing Witcher 3 daily from 2016 to 2019, is how I regained the use of my thumb and two for fingers on my right hand... it is also why I stopped playing Witcher 3 in 2019, once I had strengthen my two forefingers enough to start typing again.Wendy Christine Allen, Old Orchard Beach's Autistic Author, Artist, Illustrator, & Art Car Designer Counting Down to the September 23, 2028 50th Anniversary of my first published book (September 23, 1978) If you are here looking for The Twighlight Manor series, The Crystonite Wars series, The Wild Years series, The White Rock Asylum for the Criminally Insane series, The Twisted Tales series, the Captured By a MerMan series, The Space Dock 13 series, The Kats of Planet Ptarmagin series, the stories about Miss Citten the Eel-Kat, or the stories about Etiole...

I shouldn't have to say this, but people keep contacting me, so apparently I do:
- No, I do not believe in aliens. Stop contacting me to ask for alien information. If you believe in aliens, I think you are insane, retarded, or both.
- No, my car is not haunted. I've debunked that rumour many times now. . Stop contacting me to ask for haunted car information. If you believe in haunted cars, I think you are insane, retarded, or both.
- No, I am not connected to Stephen King. I didn't even know who he was until you idiots started contacting me asking about him. I had to look him up on Google to find out what you were even talking about! If you have questions about Stephen King, go contact him and ask him. I'm not him. I don't know him. I know nothing about him. I've never read one of his books. I've never seen one of his movies. I can't figure out why you people are even coming to me to ask about him in the first place!
- If someone told you I believe in aliens, if someone told you my car was haunted, if someone told you I was connected to Stephen King, you NEED to contact the FBI agent in charge of my son's murder investigation and TELL HIM WHO it was who told ou, exactly WHAT it was they said, HOW they contacted you, WHERE they contacted you... because it is a KNOWN FACT that my son's murderer is the one who started all these slanderous alien, haunted car, Stephen King rumours, and the FBI is trying to catch her.
If you have any information about my son’s murderer, please give it to FBI Agent Andy Drewer at 207–774–9322 of the Portland, Maine FBI office.
Do you know who this woman is?
On August 8, 2013 she drove a backhoe over my house. On November 14, 2013 she arrived at Southern Maine Community College and crippled me with a golf club and murdered my son. One June 24, 2016, days after my first attempts to walk again, she attacked me with a shopping cart at Scarborough, Walmart, reinjuring the Nov 14, 2013 injury.
She crippled me when I was 8 months pregnant, a woman with a golf club, severed my spine and bashed my baby's head in, I spent 9 years relearning to walk, and the FBI is 13 years into the murder investigation and not yet id-ed the attacker who crippled me and killed my baby, both violently with a golf club.
Complete details of EVERYTHING she did is on this page here.
 The golf club woman who called herself Clair as she looked November 14, 2013. Her hair is a weird chin leangth pageboy (very Medival style cut) platinum blonde with wide brown/black dyed stripes in it (like a reverse of Lily Munster, but the stripes are several, almost like a zebra). I am 5'6" and she was a LOT taller then me, like closer to the height of a man; she had thin lips like a man, and large nose like a man... she COULD have been a man disguised as a woman, given the ease with which she severed my spine....she's is a LOT stronger then is typical for a woman). She was wearing a chambre blue denim "blazer jacket over shirt" and a button up mens shirt (possibly flannel) and blue jeans. The bulk of her yelling was focused on accusing me of being transgender, even while ripping my baby out of my 8 month pregnant belly and bashing his head in with a golf club. |
 The Claire woman as she looked during her shoping cart attack at Scarborough WalMart June 2016, the attack with left me paralyzed and in a wheelchair. Her hair was dyed dark red, and she drove away in a gold Volvo 240 Station Wagon of a late 1980s/early1990s model, with a "458" on the lisnce plate.... If you have any information about the woman who crippled me with a golf club, please give it to FBI Agent Andy Drewer at 207–774–9322 of the Portland, Maine FBI office. |

Thoughts on Point of View
When Writing Your Novel
Answering the following
Point of View questions:
Changing PoV Every Chapter?
Occasionally unreliable third person omniscient narrator?
How to write PoV for drunk or hallucinating characters?
First or third person? Which do you personally prefer when reading fiction stories?
Changing PoV Every Chapter | Writing Your Novel
I tried it once in one novel. I had 3 main characters. A young girl (1st person POV), her father (3rd person POV), and her grandfather (3rd person POV, from a flamboyant character who talks about himself in the 3rd person). Every chapter rotated between them. It went like this:
Chap1: ChA's POV on the event.
Chap2: ChB's POV on the same event.
Chap3: ChC's POV on the same event.
Chap4: ChA's POV on next event.
Chap5: ChB's POV on the same event.
Chap6: ChC's POV on the same event.
...and so on.
So, the reader saw each event 3 times.
For example, in one chapter the girl was sick and vomiting and you see her reaction, knowing she's pregnant, and hiding this from her family because she's only 14. You see her run from the dining room then lock herself in her room. You see her in her room, and hear her thoughts.
Then in the next chapter, you see her father, a recently divorced dad, whose wife just left him for someone else, and he's trying to hold what's left of his family together, he's worried about this, that, and the other thing, then suddenly his daughter whos been acting sick for a few days runs out of the room vomiting, locks herself in her room and is not answering the door while he's trying to find out if she's okay.
Then in the following chapter you see the grandfather, a elderly retired actor, flamboyant and self centered, unable to accept his career is over, not really caring much about his son or granddaughter, is witnessing his son's life falling apart, but is too busy being self centered to care. He sees his granddaughter run out vomiting and his son, her father, run out after her, but he just shrugs and goes back to his memorabilia from his past.
The whole novel continues to rotate in this manner, every 3 chapters showing the other character's dramatically different point of view of the exact same event. You end up seeing how 3 generations are affected by and react to the world around them and how though each of them are experiencing the same life events, they each experience very differently from the other two.
Of all the books I've ever written, this one was by far the most difficult and most complicated to write. It was so nerve wracking at times, trying to make sure I included each detail. Like if I had the father drinking coffee in Chap 1, I had to remember to have him drinking coffee in chapters 2 and 3 as well. It was SO easy ti slip up on the tiny details like that.
I rarely use outlines, almost always pantsing my way through a novel, but for this one I had to write an outline just to make sure I got everything in order. And I had to write 3 outlines, one for each character, then, figure out how to overlap them into one story.
It was a NIGHTMARE to write!
It was also one of my favourite stories I ever wrote though. I felt like I was getting to know more about the story, because I was seeing 3 different people each telling it from 3 very different ways.
It was definitely mentally exhausting to write, and it took MONTHS to write. Usually I pound out a first draft free flow writing it in a weekend. Because of the 3 POV characters in this one and the need to be matching everything up, it took me 6 months just to get through the 1st draft.
Interestingly, this is also the story that my readers... HATED... a lot.
It was the first novel I published. It was published on 2006. It was unpublished because of fan outcries in 2007, leaving it the most obscure, and difficult to find volume of The Twighlight Manor series.
And if you know the Twighlight Manor series, you know of course that this is Love, Lust, Madness.
The Twighlight Manor series rotates main characters, with there being 75 separate main characters being featured in the series depending on which characters were used in which stories. Rarely do more than 5 characters ever get featured in any one story at once.
At the time, Etiole was the primary main character of the series. He is the grandfather in this novel. The son his Phozeen, with the story being set days after Hornet aka Dulcee leaves him for FrostJackle. The girl is Etiole's granddaughter Ptarmagin.
This story hit a lot of nerves, with fans, as it was the story which shows Etiole's darker side. (He is the father of Ptarmagin's baby.)
It was also the first story to show Phozeen's violent nature (when he tried to kill Etiole.)
And while suicide has been a long running theme in the series since the 1990s, it was the first volume to show a graphicly detailed on page suicide.
The thing which ticked off readers the most however, was the fact that this was written, with it being the FINAL story of the Twighlight Manor series, and Etiole dies in this story.
Etiole is by far the character who has the most fans of any character in the series and killing him off, sent fans into a frenzy, many of them storming their way to FanFiction.net and their own various fanfiction blogs to rewrite this story.
As far as I know, Love, Lust, Madness was the ONLY story in the set to ever have fanfiction written about it....and written not because they liked the story, but rather because they hated the ending and wanted to rewrite it.
In the weeks following its publication, my inbox was quickly flooded with hundreds of reader out cries, many of them begging me not to stop writing this series that I had written since 1978.
Others asking me to write another story, a part 2 to Love Lust Madness, to reveal that Etiole had "not died".
Still others decried the death of the baby.
And interestingly, every email asked why this was a novel and not a short story, as the entire series was short stories, with Love Lust Madness being the first novel of the series.
In the years before this, I had received one or two fan mails here or there, and was not fully aware of how many fans I actually had.
This sudden outpouring of hundreds of fans coming forward and begging the series to continue, opened my eyes to just exactly how many readers I really had out there, and how much they deeply and truly loved this series.
I had intended Love Lust Madness to be the final story of the series, and had not planned on writing any more stories for The Twighlight Manor series.
I had long seen The Twighlight Manor series as a failure. It's sales have always been minimal at best, and local protects by various church had just reached a new violent high - October 18, 2006 a bomb blew up my house and an 8 foot tall Ku Klux Klan cross erected where my house had been days earlier. Members of the Saco Ward of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Tim Smith, Kathy Smith, Joel Bailey, Mary Bailey, Easter Rhodes, Tommy Bryant, Dan Kenning, Jim Thomas, and Mary Elizabeth Chapman) gathered in my driveway after the bomb, to chant that I was a witch, stating they had asked God for the bomb to get rid of me and my Satanic books. (Keeping in mind this was the same church group who had banned the books I wrote in 1991).
Love Lust Madness was written, during Maine's -20F winter, the year that reached the record breaking -47f... while I was living under a 8x6 tarp with no protection from the cold.
I had no reason to think I would survive the end of winter, living under a tarp, and thus I wrote Love Lust Madness not only to end the series, but also to be my final book, as I fully expected to freeze to death before winter ended.
Today is June 16, 2021
It's been many years since this page has seen an update, but today is that day. Here is another question I found about PoV switching. Somewhat different, but, close enough that I feel it belongs on this page...
Occasionally unreliable third person omniscient narrator?
And uhm... wow... well, here's a response for you... remind you of someone? Teddy bears perhaps? I'm so very tempted to write a novel based off of this thread of, well, replies?
I'm just left to ask, what in the world triggered this commenter?
A troll attacked the OP while I was typing my answer... yie!
Ah! So, I clicked the user's profile, to see their posting history. WOW!
As they are typing these comments (right now - there were only 8 when I started writing this and there are now 43, in under 20 minutes) They are also one 4 OTHER subReddits typing very similar comments, AND they are one 2 other threads on THIS subReddit also posting like this. In one of the other subReddits they are bragging that they are drunk on tequila, whatever that is, I Googled it and apparently it's a drink?
But wow oh wow, if you want to see a mega troll in action on Reddit, just click on their comment, go to their profile, and see the THOUSANDS of hyper drunk comments they have left. Yie! Okay, well, that explains the attack on the OP here. They aren't just attacking the OP, they are just attacking everyone.
Well, anyways, when I typed my answer for this question, it had ZERO comments. When I went to post it, it had 4 comments. y the time I finished reading those, the troll had landed. I had not yet posted my comment because I was reading the wild insanity the the comment thread.
By the time I got done reading the comments a mod came in and closed the thread, so my answer never got posted, LOL!
Well, here it is anyways.
>>>Occasionally unreliable third person omniscient narrator?
>>>Is it okay for a third person omniscient narrator, when zooming into a character who is drunk/hallucinating, to report the imagined things he sees as though they were facts? Eg. "There WAS a man in the doorway" and not "He saw that there was..." "He thought there was..." "He thought he saw..." etc which might give away everything too early. Has this been done?
>>>Edit: I'm thinking that the unreliability happens in just one instance in the story (when the stuff is revealed not to have happened), while the rest of it remains reliably told. Does this make it any more acceptable? Or will it make readers feel even more cheated or doubt the rest of the story?
I believe that when it comes to fiction, as long as you know the grammar rules and are using proper grammar throughout, it's okay to break the proper grammar rules if it serves the story and plot or makes the scene easier to understand or helps the reader to connect with the character.
So, while what you want to do, may not be conventional wisdom for grammar in most situations, I feel that if it serves the story, than do it.
Proper grammar has it's place, and usually you want to use it. But one of the keys to know good grammar is also knowing when it's okay to break away from it for the sake of the story.
Not sure if this'll help or not, it would depend I suppose on how you handle the story as a whole, but, the series I wrote, the MC takes Opium and LDS and drinks Absinthe (often using all 3 at once), so frequently scenes occur where he is high, drunk, or both. The PoV of the series is USUALLY 3rd Person Limited from his perspective, though there are times when he passes out and, there is the need for a different character to narrate, at which point the story "zooms out" to 3rd person omniscient during just that scene while the MC is unconscious, and one or both of his 2 friends takes over as the narrator.
As all 3 of the drugs he uses cause hallucinations to some varying degree, often there is a "hallucination transition scene" just before he passes out and the other character takes over as narrator.
So, if I was to take your example:
>>>"There WAS a man in the doorway" and not "He saw that there was..." "He thought there was..." "He thought he saw..." etc which might give away everything too early. Has this been done?
... and write it as a hallucination scene for him, I would do something like this:
.........
MC walked across the room. His steps were swift and determined. Or as swift and determined as he could make them be. He'd had a bit too much to drink and he knew, but he couldn't let his friends know. No. He wasn't supposed to be out drinking tonight. Not tonight. Tomorrow was a big day. Steady. He must walk steady. The determination in his steps, became his primary focus. MC watched his feet to make sure they were going in the right places. Must walk steady. Mustn't let anyone know. Must... must... Thunder boomed outside. Lightening flashed. The momentary bright, blinding light, filled the room with it's purple haze before disappearing and sending the room back into the blackness of night. Wait.. who is that?
There was a man in the doorway.
How'd he get there?
Wasn't the door locked?
MC walked closer to the door.
Cautiously.
"Who are you?" MC called out.
No answer.
MC stumbled.
But quickly caught himself.
Can't fall.
Couldn't let this man know he was drunk either.
He squinted his eyes.
Straining to see through the darkness.
Hoping for the lightening to flash again.
There was a man in the doorway.
A man.
Where there shouldn't be one.
"Who are you?" MC called out again.
Nothing.
The man stood in the doorway.
Watching.
Staring.
Silent.
He didn't move.
He didn't speak.
Might be one of his friends.
They shouldn't be here.
But who knows?
Maybe...
No...
Couldn't be...
MC opened his eyes. Friend1 was standing over him. Friend2 was kneeling beside him. They were both talking but he couldn't hear them. MC's vision blurred and doubled, than went in and out of focus a few times. The muffled sounds of his friend's voices bounced around like a rubber ball inside his head. He tried to focus on one voice, one sound, straining to hear who was talking and what they said. Finally his vision became clearer and the sounds became less garbled.
"You okay?" Friend2 asked.
"Who was the man in the doorway?" MC asked, not answering Friend2's question.
"What man?"
"That man!" MC sat up and pointed towards the door. Wait. He wasn't there. The man was gone. MC looked around. The sun was up. It was daytime. Night was gone. It had slunk away to the shadows, to hide for another day. Fleeing from the sun's warm embrace. Waiting for sunset to come and free it back into the world again.
"There was a man there," MC said to no one in particular. "Where did he go? Did you see him?"
"No," Friend1 answered. "Only thing we seen was you passed out on the floor."
.....................
Each sentence is very short and is a new paragraph and it written in a sort of "poem-like" format, no longer bocks of text like a normal paragraph, and it's quasi-dialogue-ish, but it's not quite dialogue and not quite narration. By blending the narration and the dialogue together and physically changing what the words LOOK like (how they are formatted/typeset) on the print page, clues the reader into the fact that something has changed and the narrator is suddenly having trouble focusing and maybe, just maybe, whenever the text looks like this, we shouldn't trust the narrator to be telling us everything accurately while the text is not formatted in correct and proper grammar.
Now the example I just wrote above, doesn't change PoVs and stays in 3rd person limited with the MC as the narrator, because we as readers never seen him passed out, the scene doesn't tell you he passed out, and transitions straight from him passing out, to him waking up all in one scene, allowing the hallucination of the man in the doorway, to not yet be known to the reader if the man was really there or now, but also doing it in a way to hint to the reader, the man might have just been a drunk vision. Later scenes might have him looking for the man, and evidence reveal that there never was a man and confirm to the reader, yeah it was just a hallucination.
Not sure if that helps you out or not, but, that's how I'd handle the situation you've described, if I was writing it in my own novel.
And now that I've written that example, I'm going to rewrite it, add character names, expand it, and see if I can't write a full chapter based off of it. I love using stuff like this as writing prompts. I just wrote a scene 443 words long, based off using this:
>>>Is it okay for a third person omniscient narrator, when zooming into a character who is drunk/hallucinating, to report the imagined things he sees as though they were facts? Eg. "There WAS a man in the doorway" and not "He saw that there was..." "He thought there was..." "He thought he saw..." etc
... as a writing prompt.
I wonder, can I get a 1,000 words out of it, and than keep going and turn it into a Quaraun story, perhaps even a full novel, based off of just that?
Who knows? We'll find out.
Also, not to join the argument going on there, but... this commenter and their 18 comments...
>>>>>Third person is not the MC. It's the author.
>>>>>So if the author is an unreliable narrator, the book sucks.
>>>>>What you're talking about is not unreliable narrator.
>>>>>The thing is, by definition, YOU CANNOT WRITE UNRELIABLE 3RD PERSON NARRATIVE.
>>>>>Because 3rd person narrative IS THE AUTHOR.
I've read more than 10,000 novels in the past 50 years, and I've NEVER seen a 3rd person novel where the narrator was the author.
Why?
Because when the AUTHOR is the narrator it's a little thing called 4th person meta... it's VERY rare, Douglas Adams used it in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, where the book itself is the narrator, because the book is the author writing itself as it tells the story; outside of the satire genre you are almost never going to see the author be the narrator
3rd person limited narrator is ALWAYS the main character; that's why we know what it is the main character is thinking - isn't it?
3rd person omnipresent narrator is the main character and secondary characters who take over when the main character is not around; that's why we know what it is the main character and his/her friends are thinking - isn't it?
3rd person head hopping is when EVERY character is the narrator depending on which perspective is best for the scene in question; that's why we know what it is that every character is thinking - isn't it?
I wonder though, is a reader sees the narrator as the author and not as one of the character, the way the author intended, doesn't that mean the reader lacks reading comprehension skills and is missing out on vast elements of the story, simple because they think the author themselves is the character telling the narrative parts? They are not connecting with the character on a deep level, if they don't see the character as the narrator, right? I don't know. I've never thought of it before.
I don't know, but it seems to me that writing yourself, the author, as the character in the novel, narrating the story, is quite arrogant and, as a reader, I would think the author's ego too big for me t want to read the book, if the author stuffed themselves into the book as the narrator. Maybe I'm over thinking it, but, I've never like stories where the author writes a story about an author writing a story. I always see stories like that as the author giving themselves an ego trip and not really caring about either their readers or their characters.
In all the books I've ever read, I've never once thought it was the author LITERALLY as the character in the story telling the story. Is that weird? Do others see narrators as being the author themselves being a character in the book?
You know, I went to college for an degree in teaching English Literature and the textbook of grammar rules states:
3rd person limited narrator is ALWAYS the main character
3rd person omnipresent narrator is the main character and secondary characters who take over when the main character is not around
3rd person head hopping is when EVERY character is the narrator depending on which perspective is best for the scene in question
So... yeah.
On the other hand:
>>>>>Sticking oranges up your ass does not make you a citrus tree. - thealmightymalachi
Sticking oranges up your ass does not make you a citrus tree.
Has to win hands down best quote of the year.
Love it.
But getting side tracked by the commenter ... back to the OP...
And if you want to see an excellent example of 3rd person omnipresent with an unreliable narrator done VERY WELL... read the Witcher novels: they have 2 narrators: Geralt who SHOWS the reader what is actually happening and Ciri who TELLS the reader what she wants the reader to THINK is happen. Every character appears twice.
For example: Geralt meets Avallac'h and sits and talks WITH him, and Geralt SHOWS what Avallac'h does, we see Avallac'h talk, we hear Avallac'h's dialogue from his own mouth, we see him walk around the room AS he does it. A few chapters later Ciri takes over as narrator and TELLS us that she had met Avallac'h and doesn't let us see Avallac'h do anything, doesn't let us hear his actual dialogue, instead Ciri tells long texts of exposition of yesterday Avallac'h did this, last night Avallac'h said that, Ciri tells us AFTER THE FACT what she WANTS the reader to THINK happened. And than, still later, the narrator moves outside of Ciri's head, and is now Starry Eyes (a different character) talking, not Ciri or Geralt, and we SEE Ciri's actions, what ACTUALLY happened between Ciri and Avallac'h and WHY Ciri so desperately tried to hide the truth about her interactions with Avallac'h from the reader.
If you want to read it for yourself, it's Chapter 7 of the book Tower of Swallows and Chapter 5 of the book Lady of the Lake and the epilogue of Lady of the Lake. Read all 3 chapters side by side, to see all 3 narrations, and watch how vastly different Avallac'h is portrayed depending on if the narrator is Geralt, Ciri, or Starry Eyes. The following is a MAJOR SPOILER for how the Witcher novels end - reveal only if you don't mind knowing the end of the series: >!Ciri is revealed as a horrific liar, and you find out that 90% of EVERYTHING you were told across 8 novels never happened at all, because EVERYTHING narrated by Ciri was a complete and total lie, and ONLY the parts narrated by Geralt were true and actually happening. Turns out Ciri was on fistech (cocaine) the whole time, never had any magic powers, never was the chosen one, and imagined the whole thing in a drug induced hallucination.!< It is the absolute BEST WRITTEN unreliable narrator I have ever seen, because >!as shitty as the "it was all a dream" ending is, Andrzej Sapkowski pulled it off really well, because you do not see that coming at all, simply be
cause of how many lies Ciri told the reader while she was the narrator. However the "it was all a dream" ending was a huge letdown, ever though it was pulled off well, because I fell in love with so many characters in the Witcher novels and to find out none of them were even "real" in the Witcher world at all and they were all just drug induced figments of Ciri's imagination - Avallac'h, Eredin, King Auberon, The Wild Hunt - they weren't real. They were just a dream Ciri had, and I'm insanely in love with Avallac'h, so the "oh yeah, by the way, that was just a drug induced dream" reveal was big let down for me. That he did it well and I didn't see it coming, doesn't change the fact, I really really don't like the "it was all a dream" ending-trope, because I invested a lot of time to read those 8 novels and got emotionally attached to some of those characters and to get to the end and it be: "yeah it never happened" just makes it feel like I wasted my time.!< If you want to see the drug addicted unreliable narrator having lots of hallucinations, done well, read all the Ciri narrated sections of the Witcher novels.
Which do you personally prefer when reading fiction stories.
First or third person?
And would you be able to tell me why?
>>>Which do you personally prefer when reading fiction stories.
>>>First or third person? And would you be able to tell me why? Thanks in advance!
If the main character is supposed to be me/the reader and is left nameless and genderless and devoid of any description, so that I can actually believe it's me, than I don't mind 1st person. If it MC is going to be me, than is MUST BE ACTUALLY ME. So soon as the 1st person character looks in the mirror and comments on her golden hair and blue eyes, I'm out of there, because it's no longer me, and once it's no longer me, I just can't get immersed in the 1st person PoV.
But for MOST stories, I'd rather have 3rd person, because I like to get to know the main character as though they were my best friend. I don't like it when the story is first person, but the character has a name/gender/race/description because then it's like the author is trying to force me to BECOME someone who I am not, and I'm fine with who I am, I don't want to become a different person.
So, if I find the book is in 1st person but the character has a name/age/race/gender/hair colour/eye color/etc, I'll just toss the book aside unread and go read something else. I know there are readers who WANT to become a different person and so like the 1st person named character style, but, I'm not the right reader for those.
I'm somebody who likes to feel like I'm having adventures WITH the main character not AS the main character. For me, 3rd person is the best way for me to get fully immersed in the story, because I get to hang out with the main character. So 3rd person is always my preference.
Of course, I like character driven stories, so as a general rule I EXTREMELY HATE 1st person, because it is nearly impossible to pull off a good character driven story with it. Once a while a writer can pull it off, but usually, it just feels like most writers use 1st person because they are too lazy to bother creating a fully fleshed out three dimensional character, and they just slap in a dull, drab, cookie cutter, give a few details, than rely on the reader to fill in the blacks themselves by pretending they are the main character.
It's not so much the 3rd person is better for a character driven story, because like I said, sometimes you'll find an author who gives good fleshed out 1st person characters, but rather it seems that, for some reason the bulk of authors just put more effort into fleshing out their characters when they write in 3rd person, and seem to be like when a lot of writers do 1st person they are thinking: "Hey, I'm writing 1st person, who gives a shit if I flesh out the character!" while it feels like 3rd person authors think: "This is 3rd person, the reader can't self insert themselves, I better flesh this character out to the max".
So in the end, it's not that I ACTUALLY dislike 1st person, but rather I dislike how the bulk of authors get sloppy/lazy with character creation when they write 1st person. 1st person can be done really well, I think it's great when it is, but, it's just so difficult to find the rare gems hidden in the massive dung heap piles of crap, that it sometimes feels pointless to even bother trying to look for well written 1st person.
The end result is, I'd rather be reading than shifting through crap looking for something to read, so I end up just avoiding most 1st person stories completely, unless my brother says "So, this one was done well, you should read it." He reads 2 or 3 novels a week and has for 30 years now, and I trust him to recommend a well written 1st person. But otherwise, I just stick to 3rd person stories.
Also, I don't mind seeing the story from multiple 3rd person PoVs. Because, it's like I'm with all my friends and get to see what all of them are thinking. So I tend to like 3rd person with 2 or 3 PoV characters best of all. But not 3rd omnipresent. Rather 3rd person limited, where it's usually 1 main character, but than once in a while also a secondary character's view point.
If you are trying to decide which one you should use in your own writing, my personal rule that I write by is this: write it the way YOU as a reader would enjoy reading it, that way you will find readers who like the same things you like; in order words don't write what you think readers will want, because there are readers for everything, so just write it the way you would want it to be if you were the reader.
So, me personally, because I prefer to read 3rd limited most of all, I write 3rd limited. But if you like reading 1st, than I think you should write 1st, or if you like reading 3rd omnipresent, than you should write 3rd omnipresent; or if you like to read 4th person meta (the author and not one of the characters is the narrator; like Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy where the book itself is the narrator and tells you the story as it writes itself) than you should write 4th person meta; or if you like to read 2nd person (the reader "You" is the main character, like Choose Your Own Adventure books) than you should write 2nd person.
My point is, I don't think that it should matter to the author, what OTHERS like to read. I believe it should matter to the author that they look at their own personal reading habits and strive to write the same style they personally enjoying reading.
So in the end, I think there is no true right or wrong answers as to which PoV is best to write in. I think there is something out there for everyone, and that we as writers should just write the thing/style/story/plot/genre/format/PoV/characters that we personally enjoy. So I think we should all just write the thing we like the most and not worry what others like or not.

Note: there are likely spelling errors on this site, and I am unlikely to see the ... I fix them when I find them, but, there are many issues here...
Note: English is not my first language, Shetlean Scottish is my native language, there are likly spelling and grammar errors, as I do not know American English and am attempting to write it by sounding words out.
Many times that Americans think a word on my site is misspelled, often it is not misspelled, it is just I mixed up languages and wrote it in Scottish without realizing I mixed the Scottish in with the English. Also our grammar is somewhat reversed from English grammar so words that are seeming in the wrong order for American English, is usually because they are in the correct order for Scottish and I either put English words in Scottish order by mistake or was unaware English put them in a different order then Scottish does.

More information about our language can be found on this website: https://www.iheardee.com which is written in my native language.
However, there is also other reasons why words might be misspelled, or why I might not understand someone when they speak to me.
My grandmother Helen Ricker Allen, was from Unst, Shetland, Scotland, and she the one who raised me. She taught me to read and write, but it was Shetlain that she taught me. She died when I was 8 years old, and I was locked in a woodshed after her furneral, I escaped the woodshed 27 years later at age 31, and have been trying to learn how to speak and write English since then.
It is a very great struggle.
At age 37 I took remidial reading and speaking classes at Southern Maine Community College, but we are Gypsies and Gypsy men do not allow us Gypsy women to have education, and so, while at college, on November 14, 2013, I was beaten with a golf club, while I was 8 months pregnet, breaking my spine, hips, and knees, killing my baby and leaving me quardepaleic since.
Now my primary focus these past 13 years has been on relearning to use my hand so I could type... as of 2023, I have regained the use of my right thumb, and first two right fingers, and after 10 years offline, I am back online due to I can use three finguers.
I never went to school, so I do not know maths and numbers and sciences, and I do not know what else would have been taught to me in school. We are Scottish Gypsies and Gypsy culture does not allow females to go to school. Being born female was already a great sin, but my grandmother took great risk in teaching me reading and writing. At 4 years old I was punished by my Uncle Bruce for knowing how to read, by being beaten in the face with a cinder block brick, that broke my right jaw and left me with garbaled near-mute spoken words ever since.
Because no one ever spoke words to be face to face from he time I was 8 years old until I was 37 years old (I escaped the room at age 27, but did not start college until 37), I have no training in how to vocally sound out or speak the words I write or read. I can read words, but I do not know how to sound out or say those words. I can write words, but I do not know how to match the written word against the spoken word. I struggle to associate spoken words at all, or make them match up with writen words.
Esentially, written words and spoken words are two completly seperate languages in my brain, and I have difficulty understanding spoken words.
If you say a sentance to me with your mouth, chances are very high I will have ZERO understanding of what you said and I will not be able to ander you.
However, if you WRITE down that exact same sentabnce, I can understand you and can type a written responce to you.
My doctors tell me this is a side effect of extreme isolation and neglect and lack of human contact during my toddler, childhood, teen, and young adult years, and that my brain never deveoloped to comprehend spoken vocal words due to no one ever speaking to me in over three decades of the first half of my life.
While I can read and write, American English (somewhat) I do no know how words are sounded out, what they are supposed to sound like. I readand write by shape recognition, not by sound/vocal recognition, so when reading and writing I do no "hear the words in my head" as I am told most people do when they read and write. In other words... I see "c a t" and think "c-a-t" I do not think "cat" nor do I "see" an image of a cat, no do I "hear" the word cat spoken. I'm told that this is very rare and that most people read and write by sounding out the words and linking them to visual mind images, while hearing the sound of the word in their head. I neiher hear words in my head no see images of things in my head. I'm told this is what makes me both a speed reader and speed writer, because I'm not tripped up by hear sounds or seeing images in my head like nomal people would be doing... however, I'm also told this is why my spelling and grammar are very poor, because my brain is not hear the sounds of the words or seeing visual images of the objects the words represent, so my mind also does not register spelling and grammer errors at all.
As I was only let out of the woodshed on Sundays to go to the Cape Elezabeth Ward Church of the August Stake of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, I was never allowed to go to school or hospital either. No adults ever talked to me because I was evil for comitted the sin of being born female, so I never learned how to speak properly and do not know how to sound out words to say them.
I was 42 years old, in 2016 when, while having an MRI for my spine, the doctors found out my speak issue was caused by a broken jaw as a toddler that was healed wrong because not being allowed to go to doctors. I had surgury to fix that, and since 2016 have been trying to learn how to use my jaw and touge so I can speak vocal words now.
Since 2023 my primary focus shifted to relearning to walk. I can now, in 2026, sit up for 2 or 3 hours a day, and can sand with a cane for a few minutes, and can walk for around five thousand feet in 2 to 3 segments a day, with the help of pushing my wheelchair like a walker.
As of 2026, with a slight return to using my fingers and legs, I am once again focused on trying to learn the American English, but I live in mortal fear of my uncles and male cousins, as they are so hateful of allowing me to have education.
have no one to help me to know if I am doing words correctly, and as such, I have no way of knowing if there are spelling and grammar errors, but I asume there are, and I fix them when I learn them, but I do not know what I do not know and spelling American words is a thing I do bnot know.
I have Low Fucntioning Kanner's Syndrom, also known as "RainMan Type of Autism" aka REAL and ACTUAL Autism, not to be confused with Aspergers, High Functioning Autism, or and of thr 861 illnesses on the Autism Spectrum. An Autism Spectrum Disorder is an illness that has symptoms similar to Autism but IS NOT Autism. If you have an Autism Spectrum Disorder, it LITERALLY MEANS you do NOT have Autism.
I am medically diagnosed as "kanner's syndrome, actual autism, the rainman type, profoundly retarded autistic savant, with a general IQ of 73, and an writing IQ of 221" but they added that they did not know how to properly diagnose me as I am "technically a feral child" and they don't know "how much is the autism, and how much is simple horrific levels of abuse and neglect induced post traumatic stress disorder that will go away with proper socilization".
It means I know how to write, I can write a lot, and it is next to impossible for you to teach me how to do literally anythig else because my brain only knows how to write and doesn;t know how to do anything else..
There's a reason, when I do book signings, people are quick to say: "Okay, what's the joke? why is this stupid retard here? where's the real author? I know this retard isn't the author. where are you hiding the author, why is this fucking retard here"
The end result is, I have near zero social interaction... my 3 years in college was the ONLY face to face interaction I have ever had with humans in my entire life, and I struggle deeply to understand MOST words used by MOST people when they ask me question. And so I suffer from a huge lack of understanding many words people say to me, how to translate those words into spelling, and how to translate what it is that has been said.
The fact remains hat until there exists a human on this planet who is willing to sit down and teach me what words spoken line up with and match what words written, this deficent is unlily to improve. But the fact also remains, that I am simply far too profoundly retarded for anyone to even try to make any attempt at all even to speak a friendly "hgelloe" or "good morning" when passing me on the street, so I have lost all hope of anyone ever either being my friend, being willing to teach me how to match spoken words to written words, or how to speak to other humans.
While there are around 20k pages on this website, most of them are blocked from search engines, with only around 800 of them available for appearing in Google/Bing/etc search results. The remainder can only be accessed via the various links found throughout this site. This was done deliberately on my part, and I did it because the bulk of the pages on this website are chapters from 138 novels and 423 novellas, so only the first page of each novel and novella indexed by search engines, and the remainder are linked in order, one page at a time, via clicking "next page" at the end of each. So if you are looking for a specific page from a specific novel, Google can't help you.

Do you know who drove this backhoe over my house at 146 Portland Avenue, Old Orchard Beach, Maine on August 8, 2013? If you have any information, please give it to FBI Agent Andy Drewer at 207–774–9322 of the Portland, Maine FBI office.
My house at 146 Portland Ave, Old Orchard Beach, Maine, July 4, 2013, photo taken because we had just finished building a baby room on the back. vs My house August 8, 2013, when the same group of people (yes group, the golf club woman was not alone when she attacked November 14, 2013, nor was she alone with her second attack July 2016.) who murdered my son on November 14, 2013 at Southern Maine Community College and crippled me July 26, 2016 at scarborough WalMart,... they arrived the first time with a backhoe on August 8, 2013, that they used to drive over my house, during a time of day that I normally was home asleep... I had to work a different shift at the Waffle Cone Pizza Food Truck at George's Parking Lot by Bill's Pizza at the OBB Peir, that day, otherwise, I too would be at the bottom of a landfill, along with my house and everything I owned that was also in the house. I was 5 months pregnant at the time and have been homeless for just under 14 years, homeless ever since....
... which means it is now only a few weeks from the 14th anniversary of my son's murder. I was 8 month pregnant November 14, 2013, and a student ay SMCC, and coming out of the Buglight Lighthouse art studio after art class, when a still unidentifiedwoman wielding a golf club attacked me, severed my spine, while I was 8 months pregnant, triggered early labour, then killed my son minutes after he was born.
While accusing me of being transgender, screaming "transvestite freak" and "look at that thing, that's Ken's son in a dress"... while I was 8 months pregnant.

The backhoe driver returned November 14, 2013, armed with a golf club, used it to break my spine and smash my baby's brains out on the ground
On November 14, 2013, my son was murdered. I was 8 months pregnant, leaving my college classroom, and just getting into my car, when 3 strangers, a man and two women, armed with golf clubs leapt out from behind my car screaming "kill or be killed, kill the transvestite freaks, kill them all before they kill us! look at that thing! That is Ken's son, look at how it's dressed! kill the transvestite freaks! kill or be killed"... while the bald man and the red haired woman chanted this over and over, the blonde woman, lunged with the golf club.
She severed my spine, I am now a quadriplegic, and been paralyzed arms and legs, and in a wheelchair for 13 years now. She broke my hips, my knees, my legs, ruptured most of my discs, and shattered three of my vertebrae so bad that the shards of bone acted like glass and embedded themselves into my spinal column nerve bundle.
The attack also triggered labour.
My son was born in that parking lot, and he lived only a couple of minutes, before the deranged blonde woman, beat his head in and smashed his brains out, with the same golfclub she had just used to sever my spine and leave me crippled for the rest of my life.
Realizing that I was not transgender, and they'd just murdered a baby, the man grabbed the 2 women and forcibly dragged them away to a 4 door white pickup truck, and they left me there to die.
The FBI told me later, that a few weeks before this attack, and transwoman, had murdered a cis woman, in a parking lot, abou 20 miles away from where I was attacked. The FBI, believes that my attackers, had somehow found out I wrote transgender fiction, connecting my real name to my penname, (my father's name is in fact "Ken", and I do have a brother) and believed that I wrote transgender fiction, because I was myself transgender, even though I'm not transgender. The FBI, believes the attackers, thought I was my brother, pretending to be a woman.
The FBI investigation, into my son's murder, has dragged on for 13 years, and still now in 2026, continues on, with the FBI, still not having yet identified my attackers, and only guessing at what their motive was.
Thus we come to 2014, and the full swing change of the series I write. WHY my series, went from just a transman main character living life, to the full blown Mpreg genre series that it now is today.
Before the attack, I had a chance of having a baby. I don't know. And because I'm in America, I'm too old to adopt. You have to be under 45 years old to adopt a baby. That is the law in America. I was informed this, when we tried to adopt, now that my injuries leave me unable to get pregnant a 9th time.
Thus began my obsessively writing, my transman main character, pregnant. Always pregnant now. Every time. Every story. Stories that now fully focus on pregnancy, labour, miscarriages, babies dying, babies living, raising babies... the whole series, since 2014 has devolved into an outright baby obsession.
Meanwhile, reborn baby dolls were suggested to me by my therapist, and have also become a deeply obsessive part of my life. Because 13 years ago my son was murdered minutes after he was born, because a transphobic bigot mistook me for being transgender, I'm STILL in a wheelchair, struggling to relearn to use my arms and legs, now 13 years later, and I'm still DAILY dealing with police officers and FBI agents who while they are trying to find my son's killer, they are also daily reminding me... oh, yeah, my son was murdered, literally ripped out of my belly, by a transphobe. Who still has not been located and walks free to kill again.

I am a legally blind quadriplegic, and low verbal, I have also published 138 novels in the last 48 years. It's not as impossible as people think. The problem being blind and quadriplegic, medically have different meanings then how those two words are used medically.
Fewer than 3% of all blind people see nothing. While 97% people who are classified as fully blind are able to see up to two feet in front of them. Legally blind means I can see more then two feet in front of me but not far enough to see twenty feet in front of me. In my case I can see about eight feet.
Quadriplegic, has varying levels, it means having a damaged nerve bundle in the spinal column causing limited mobility of all 4 limbs, (in my case this was done by a women wielding a golf club, who also beat my 8 month infant's head to pulp on the parking lot tarmak, at the same time she severed my spine with the same golf club; both on November 14, 2013; the FBI investigation into my son's murder and my being crippled has gone on now for 13 years, a few weeks away from 14 years now, and the FBI has still not identified the killer or her motive). Contrary to popular misconception, quadriplegic does NOT mean ZERO movement, it means means limited movement, specifically in means unable to lift arms over head, unable to grip fingers around objects to pick them up, and unable to stand for more then 5 minutes to a time. Because there are so many thousands of nerves in each limb it is actually very rare for there to be 100% no movement, but how much, and to what extent varies by patent depending upon the specific point of injury to the spinal column.
Meaning typing is still possible for over 60% of all quadriplegics.
In my case, it was the lower spine that was severed, cutting off completly my ability to move my right leg, leaving limited feeling in my left leg, and an ability to stand but not walk, with crutches, for the first 9 years. I regained enough nerve growth in my legs by the 9th year to be able to take ten or twelve steps allowing me to get out of bed for the first time since the golf club attack; This in turn lead to me being able to start using a wheelchair, as I was able to sit upright for the first time as well.
Because the shattered vertebrae bone fragments are broken off completly and embedded into the nerve bundle just above my tailbone, doctors were saying I would never walk again, but now at 13 years, I am able to push mu wheelchair like a walker, a distance of almost a thousand steps a day. Though doctors are still doubtful I will ever walk "normally" again, I have proven them wrong, when their said 13 years ago, that I would never walk again at all.
But because of the placement of the damage to my spine, regaining hand use, was always thought possible, it was just a matter of waiting long enough for nerve regrowth, along side daily finger exercises. I was able to continue writing, after becoming quadriplegic, because I still have use of my right thumb, and 2 fore figures of my right hand. And can type 90 words per minute with those 3 fingers.
I however have no wrist strength, elbow strength, or shoulder strength, so I am not able to form a fist, or lift objects, or brush my hair, or my teeth, all thing I have to have my caretaker do. But, those things are not needed for typing. Unfortunately, my pinky and ring fingers are "nerve dead" and drag over the keyboard, and cause horrific spelling errors and typos, which are incredibly frustrating to deal with.
Unfortunately trying to edit errors myself, just makes the errors worse, because those same two fingers drag over the keyboard yet again. Prior to the golf club attack, I rarely had spelling errors; now I got more spelling errors then someone is learning English as second language. Editing is a challenge, that I've had to accept, I simply can not do myself, and I have to hire several editors to help with that.
Low verbal means sounds can still be made, sounds that software programs like Dragon can be trained to recognize and translate, and type into full words. More then half my novels were typed with this method.
I still have a long ways to go before I am anything close to being able to do the things I could do before the golf club woman beat my baby's brains out and shattered my spine. And you know what's more frustrating then how slow mu medical progression has been? The fact that it's been 13 years and the police and FBI are still coming up at dead ends as to who the woman who murdered my baby was, or why she even did it.
My son's 14th birthday is only a few weeks away, but he didn't even get to live long enough to celebrate his 1st birthday, I don't even know why. And I can't wait to regain my ability to walk again, because regaining my ability to walk, means gaining the ability to go outside and start looking for my son's murderer myself instead of sitting at home trapped in a wheelchair waiting for the police and FBI to to find her. So, writing isn't a big priority for me anymore. I only write now, as a way to exercise my hands, in between relearning to walk.
Never let a disability stop you. Plenty of writers, artists, athletes, do not let either blindness, speech impediments, or limited mobility hold then back from perusing their careers.
Do you know who these two woman who crippled me and murdered my baby, at Southern Maine Community College at 10PM on November 14, 2013, are, and what their connection to the backhoe that drove over my house is? If you have any information, please give it to FBI Agent Andy Drewer at 207–774–9322 of the Portland, Maine FBI office.

Articles For Writers on How To Write & Publish A Rapid Release Series
For Anyone Looking for:My response to MUFON's Amphibious Aliens? My response to Coast to Coast AMs Arrival in my yard?
Wendy Christine Allen, Old Orchard Beach's Autistic Author, Artist, Illustrator, & Art Car Designer Counting Down to the 2028 50th Anniversary of my first published book (September 23, 1978) Yes, I am aware there are a lot of spelling errors on this site. No, I likely will not be fixing most of them. I have been quadriplegia/paralyzed arms and legs since November 14, 2013; As of 2026, I have regained use of two fully functional fingers on my right hand, and only stiff limited movement of all remained eight fingers. This causes most of the typos and spelling errors as my near-dead pinky and ring fingers tend to drag over the other letters on the keyboard. Attempts to correct errors, often causes more errors for the same reason. Much of my writing is also speech to text, but I have "profound low functioning, non-verbal kanner's syndrome aka autism aka the rainman type" (that is what the medical diagnosis called it), I have the medically diagnosed retarded type of autism, that medical doctors mean when they say "real and actual autism", I do not have the cool trend self diagnoses tiktok type of "autism". What this means is, in spite of five decades of trying, I have very limited vocal speaking abilities and a lower then average vocabulary, that leaves my speaking ability around the level of a 4 or 5 year old child; I do not know math or money or clocks and. I also, was raised by a Shetland Scottish Grandmother (Helen Ricker Allen) until her death when I was 8 years old, and she did not speak American, she spoke Shetland/Scottish, Shetlandic, which is a Nordic language, different from Scotts Language, not related to Gaelic which is what many Scottish speak, and while classified as a type of Scottish English is is considered "Olde medieval Norse" dialect of Scottish English and spoken by fewer then two thousand people as of 2026. It is the language of Scottish Travelling Gypsies, which is what we racial are. I was 31 years old first time I ever heard American English, and only started to learn American English at 42 years old. Right now in 2026 at 51 years old, I am able to speak American English on around the level of an 8 year old child, and greatly do not understand over 90% of American words, American slang, and American media references. What this means is, OFTEN words you think are spellt wrong (like color vs colour, or traveling vs travelling, are in fact NOT spelt wrong, because I use Scottish spellings) and often when I hear an American word, I spell it phonetically because I do not know the correct American spelling. Likewise we Scottish do not have words like my or your, and so say me and you, in places where Americans would say my and your. I also use Scottish word meanings, not American word meanings, for example Unicorn means a blood thirsty flesheating shapeshifting sea creature that comes on land and pretends to be a wounded horse to lure in humans to eat, it can only be captured by a virgin. But when I say Unicorn, a word I frequently use, because I write Unicorn folkloric short stories... I find that most Americans connect Unicorns to children's cartoons, gay pride, or swinging sex lives... I struggle to understand who in their right mind thought the most bloodthirsty monster of Scotland folklore was good fodder for children's cartoons or "sex positive" mascots, me thinks Americans need to brush up on the lore of Unicorns using their horns as sword to stabbed people's eyes out, while gallopping through swamps with rows of bloody Human heads hanging from their backs via braids made of Human entrails... really, why did Americans thinks a monster like a Unicorn was fit for children's cartoons or sex positivity? Americans is weird. All this to say... speech to text software, struggles badly with my thick Shetland accent, my slurred Autism speech impediment, and causes additional misspellings and typos because it can not figure out what words I am trying to say. And while I could take the time time to run all of it through a spell checker, that does require better hand mobility then I have, to copy the text from one program to the next and manually click each word, with finger mobility that I simply do not have, but also, most of my time is spent in trying to relearn to walk, and if you are local, you've probably seen this as I'm a stubborn bitch who refused to accept the doctor disnosis that I will never walk again, so, I walk around the block every day pushing my wheelchair, refusing to sit in my wheelchair, and... ...it's taking me 13 years to do it, but, I'm not actually able to stand up and make it all the way around the block now, and my focus on trying to relearn to walk is far more important to me, then catering to your pampered arse by fixing spelling errors, when there are far bigger problems to worry about in life, the spelling errors made by a quadriplegic who is typing this with her only two functioning fingers. Also, in recent years, I've watched the internet devolve into a mindless clusterfuck of ChatGPT written everything. Everyone sounds the same online these days, because no writes their own work anymore. Every website out there has become a carbon copy of each other, because they are all be written by ChatGPT now. I think ChatGPT makes a funny thing to chat with in your spare time, so you can laugh at the hilarity of how inaccurate it's responses are... but I am horrified that people are using AI for serious writing, writing they publish and try to pass off as their own. We live in a society where people people are forgetting how write. Heck I can read and write cursive, calligraphy, italic, short hand, and editor's marks, also edit my books by hand diagraming every sentence, and that... start walking around your neighbourhood and ask anyone under 30 if they sentence diagraming IS, let alone how to do it. So yes, I CAN spell check, and no I don't, for anything but my novels and short story collections, I spell check when it matters... and this is a website, not a printed book... but also, I am just getting so damn fucking fed up with endless AI writing online, so, no, I'm not going to fix errors and typos on my website, and you can bitch about that all you want (yes, I do get your messages, I just don't answer anyone in private) but, honey, maybe instead of bitching over my spelling errors, be thankful is still at least one website on the internet that still being written by a Human now in 2026 when ChatGPT writes over 70% of all posts online. |

Yes, this website (founded in 1996) is old enough to have WebRings on it, and they are still in use.
Don't know what a WebRing is?
They were how we webmasters used to get traffic to our websites before the invention of search engines (aka before Jeeves, DogPile, Yahoo. Google, Bing, or the rest existed). In their simplest form a WebRing is an html code that rotates link displays. In their more advanced form they are java scripts that give random results. Each ring had three active links titled "Previous", "Random", and "Next", clicking any of the 3 links would take you to the next website in the ring.
Web Rings are the REASON the internet was called "the world wide web". To use them, each webmaster submitted their site to the ring, a single code held 100 websites, and codes could be stacked to hold 100 code sets (or 10,000 links to 10,000 websites), each web master in the list, would then place the code in the footer of their website.
This created the SPIDER WEB that was the literal WEB OF LINKS that gave the internet it's name "World Wide Web" and is WHY websites are CALLED "web sites". And technically, your site is not a WEB site unless it is connected to a WEBRing, likewise you technically are not a WEBMaster if you do not build WEBrings links for you WEBsite to connect to the WEB.
Unfortunately, most knowledge of WebRings, and whi sites were called WEBsites and sites on the WEB were called the World Wide Web, vanished from the internet in 2014 when the official WebRing.org company who managed 90%+ of the internet's WebRings went out of business after the infamous Google Panda 2013 bot attack that delisted ALL websites from the Google Index if they contained a WebRing of links to other websites in it's footer.
And while most sites abandoned the use of WebRing Codes on their sites, Space Dock 13 did not. The Space Dock 13 WebRing remains active, now 28 years after it's creation. Over the decades however, one by one all the other websites in the ring have gone off line, and as they did, I replaced the url with a link to a page of my own website (as this is a java code - it updated on every website without the others needing to change anything). Today in 2026, eelkat.com is the last remaining website in the ring, and now all 10k links go only to pages on eelkat.com, no longer sending you to other websites.

Do you have information about my son's murder and need the FBI contact information:
If you have any information about my son’s murderer, please call FBI Agent Andy Drewer at 207–774–9322
If anyone contacts you saying 146 Portland Ave, Old Orchard Beach, is for sale, know that they are lying to you... it is my land, and it has been in my family since 1531... and the ONLY person whom has EVER gone around saying it is for sale, is a woman who the FBI believes to be the same woman who murdered my son.
My son is buried here, and the FBI believes she is trying to buy my land in order to destroy his grave and destroy evidence of his murder.
Since my son's murder November 14, 2013, every year dozens of real estate agent show up all with a story of a female developer who is offering them MILLIONS of dollars for my lot of land that is only 1/4 of an acre and is not big enough to develop.
When shown police sketches of my son's murderer, the real estate agents say "Yes, that's the woman who hired me to buy 146 Portland Ave, Old Orchard Beach, Maine", but then the woman disappears and the real estate agents never hear from her again... all contact information she gave them turns out to be fake.
The woman who murdered my son, is DESPERATELY trying to buy 146 Portland Ave, Old Orchard Beach, Maine... this is the woman to watch out for... and this is what she did:
Looking to find out more about my son's murder, that information is on these pages:
Answering the questions:
Can you give me links to the news reports of your son's murder?
and
Why can't I find any news reports about this?
Maine has well over a thousand murder cases that have never been in the news.
I found this out after my son was murdered November 2013, and a year later I found out it had never been in the news, even though I was hounded for weeks by news people. I went to each of the over a dozen TV stations and newspapers whom had showed up at the hospital and asked why they had never published any report after all the trouble they had gone through to (in some cases illegally) het into the hospital to interview me.
in every case they said some version of "well, it just wasn't news worthy, there was nothing we could use to get views". Really? These were big news stations, channel 13, 6, 8, Portland Press Herald, Bangor Daily...
What exactly was it they claimed was "not news worthy"?
I'll tell you.
On November 14, 2013, my son was murdered. At Southern Maine Community College in the parking lot of The Buglight Art Studio beside the Spring Point Lighthouse.
I was 8 months pregnant, leaving my college classroom, and just getting into my car, when 3 strangers, a man and two women, armed with golf clubs leapt out from behind my car screaming "kill or be killed, kill the transvestite freaks, kill them all before they kill us! look at that thing! That is Ken's son, look at how it's dressed! kill the transvestite freaks! kill or be killed"... while the bald man and the red haired woman chanted this over and over, the blonde woman, lunged with the golf club.
She severed my spine, I am now a quadriplegic, and been paralyzed arms and legs, and in a wheelchair for 13 years now. She broke my hips, my knees, my legs, ruptured most of my discs, and shattered three of my vertebrae so bad that the shards of bone acted like glass and embedded themselves into my spinal column nerve bundle.
The attack also triggered labour.
My son was born in that parking lot, and he lived only a couple of minutes, before the deranged blonde woman, beat his head in and smashed his brains out, with the same golfclub she had just used to sever my spine and leave me crippled for the rest of my life.
Realizing that I was not transgender, and they'd just murdered a baby, the man grabbed the 2 women and forcibly dragged them away to a 4 door white pickup truck, and they left me there to die.
The FBI told me later, that a few weeks before this attack, and transwoman, had murdered a cis woman, in a parking lot, abou 20 miles away from where I was attacked. The FBI, believes that my attackers, had somehow found out I wrote transgender fiction, connecting my real name to my penname, (my father's name is in fact "Ken", and I do have a brother) and believed that I wrote transgender fiction, because I was myself transgender, even though I'm not transgender. The FBI, believes the attackers, thought I was my brother, pretending to be a woman.
The FBI investigation, into my son's murder, has dragged on for 13 years, and still now in 2026, continues on, with the FBI, still not having yet identified my attackers, and only guessing at what their motive was.
Oh yeah, and I've been quadriplegic for 13 years.
oh yeah one more thing, same trio, they also found out where i lived in Old Orchard Beach and drove a backhoe over my house as well.

146 Portland Ave Old Orchard Beach, Maine... July 4, 2013 vs August 8, 2013 |
I have been homeless and quadriplegic for 13 years, and right now it's just a few weeks away from both my son's 14th birthday and the 14th anniversary of the day he was murdered, both of which happened the same day.
Explain to me what about any of that is "not newsworthy"?
I did find out WHY it was deemed not newsworthy. "it would negatively impact tourism" was their reason. The College at Fort Prebble is a tourist destination. The lighthouse at the college is a tourist destination. My house on Portland ave is situated on the primary road to the beach that is a tourist destination.
The news reporters explained to me that, they risked losing their jobs if they publicised "negative news" occurring in these sorts of tourist destination spots.
My son's murder wasn't in the news, because it might cause tourists to stop visiting that lighthouse. That was the reason the reporters gave me.
How often are there things not being reported on just so businesses don't lose tourist money?
How often does this happen? A lot, I've since found out. In trying to find other mothers of murdered children to interact with... I found five others JUST in Old Orchard Beach, whom the murders were not in the news, and all of them happened after my son's murder. I found 2 such mothers in Scarbourogh, their children's murders not in the news. I found over a dozen more in the Bar Harbore area, also all not in the news.
It's a very disturbing trend here in Maine, one that I never would have found out about had my own son not been murdered.
One thing's very clear: in Maine you can get away with murdering a child, if you do it in a big tourist location, because news stations REFUSE to report any crime occurring in tourist locations.
Fuck torists.
I don't give a shit about your precious tourist money.
My son was murdered and I want his killer found... and I am VERY displeased with the deplorable way news stations try to bury child murders in Maine, just to appease tourist funded businesses.
And if you're one of those lunatic jackass bullshitting alien abduction UFO freaks, looking for haunted cars, Stephen King, cryptids, or EBEs, first off, you can go fuck yourselves. I am so damned sick of you conspiracy brained motherfuckers harassing my family and turning my son's murder case into a circus of you psycho deranged bullshit. Here's some pages for you:
