Welcome to Kindred: the Embraced 10! We are certainly glad that you made it here! We strongly urge you to check out the other Kindred the Embraced groups on the other networks! This is a sister group to Vampires for Pagans. Do your own research and share it on the series, and on the fantasy role playing game the Masquerade, which has a live action component. I would highly recommend that you try to find The Fury of Dracula which is a board game that came out in 1988. You can probably find a copy either on Amazon or on EBay. This is after the movie. Dracula was damaged in the fight but not killed. He is trying to get back to his castle in Transylvania. Stephen thinks it’s cool they can do stuff like that. The investigators have a few advantages over Dracula, one of which is that they can travel on a train, but he can. “It’s a balanced game. I’ve won as the investigators and I’ve won as Dracula.”
Kindred: the Embraced is a precious sparkling jewel of a series. As I remember, they conceived of it as a miniseries. It was never intended to go on and on for years and years as some series do. The acting, scripting, and production values were all topnotch. Not many of the actors were what we call work-horses or work-mares, most were fresh faces, at least they were fresh to me. But I know they had paid their actors’ dues somewhere.
What did you think of the series? You must have liked it as much as I do, or you wouldn’t have joined the group. Also we want people to so some research on Twilight. Neither of us has seen it, although we hear it’s very popular. Most of the actors had excellent careers after Kindred. I’m using actors are a generic form here, encompassing both male and female actors. Doc got me the series on DVD. I’m planning on digging through my 2 boxes of DVDs to find it, and then Stephen and I can watch it. It’s probably still available from Amazon. Forever Knight was a great series. Chiller brought it back. I have a raging crush on Geraint Davies. That show was Canadian, you know. Those Canucks make really great TV shows. Stephen is a fan of Alex Bennett
the sire vampire who had the late night radio show.
Stephen has a series of books by Fred Saberhagen about Dracula and Sherlock Holmes getting together on a few cases. Doc has the series Vampirella which I inherited. What does everyone think of the Twilight series of books? I checked the first book out from the library, but couldn’t get through it. Stephen’s daughter Megan has gotten interested in Twilight, and persuaded her mother to get the whole series in paper back.
Yahoo has been revamped completely. I got the new Yahoo toolbar, and added a bunch of our stuff to it. The new Yahoo has retooled both the toolbar and the home page, where you can add your own stuff. Also Yahoo has improved its messenger in the video talk aspect. Stephen can’t use it until he gets a new headset. This is where you come in. For a reasonably priced headset, Stephen will give you either a reading or a class (your choice). We are still dissatisfied with their policy of deleting certain groups after just 6 weeks of inactivity. It would be ok if they were even handed about it, but they seem to only delete certain groups, while others they leave alone. For this reason, and because of their draconian categorization process, we will not be putting any more groups on Yahoo. Google has also revamped their toolbar and googletalk.
Do not do business with IMVU. The new management of IMVU is a bunch of right-wing Republican Puritans who are utterly anti-Pagan, anti-women and anti-sex. I had my bank disallow IMVU from deducting money from my checking account. Fully 40% of the people on IMVU are Pagans. If all the Pagans left, we might not put the network out of business, but we could definitely make it feel the pinch. I think that even the Pag-Symps would leave after the Pagans left, especially the ones interested in cybersex. Charles, the new CEO is a conservative Baptist, who has no business running a network like IMVU. In the name of “making the Internet safe for kids”, he and his henchmen are making IMVU no fun for anyone. I feel that having an age restricted section is protection enough for the little nippers, and that adults should have a section where they are totally free to do as they will. Stephen is furious, but I am indifferent. IMVU was nothing to me but an exercise in frustration that I spent way too much money and time on. I think it’s a waste of time and money, but Stephen lives most of his life on IMVU, and so is really bummed out by these developments. They have blocked out all the cool body enhancements and furniture Stephen got from Twinkle so they can’t be seen by anyone but him. IMVU is being investigated by: the FBI, Better Business Bureau, FCC, and FTC for its fraudulent and unethical business dealings. If you have any fraud complaints, contact the FBI Fraud division and the Better Business Bureau. .
I have just joined Stephen on KEEN. I still have a few kinks to iron out before I am a full-fledged reader, but I think that by next weekend I will be. I am also doing readings. I charge $15 for a fifteen minute reading. I got a webcam, and a mic/headset, so will be able to do readings on Yahoo and Windows Live as soon as they get hooked up. I am hunting for a publisher, since FireDrake’s Weyr unfortunately got closed down. I also need to get on Skype. If you can talk me through getting on Skype you get a reading. Readings and classes are our currency. I am also helping Stephen promote our friend Walter Rhoads’ art, their art gallery Gallery 14 and Julie’s tax service. I’m doing everything to raise money except sex. I refuse to get involved in porn, and I don’t have a very sexy voice.
Stephen wants to thank all of you for calling him at (land-line) 916-455-2267 or
(cell) 916-612-2504 and ordering either a divination reading or a class for just $31.95. With webcam and voice on Yahoo IM, Windows Live Msgr, or Skype, it’s almost like being here. For the reading, you got to choose a deck, method, or tool from a vast array of decks/methods/tools. For the class, you got to choose from a myriad of topics in the vast area of magick. Some of you couldn’t decide between a reading and a class, and so for just $59.90 you knew you could have both.a reading and a class; how perfect is that? You can have a reading then in the class find out how he did it. Or you can have two classes, or two readings as long as they are on two separate and different topics/questions. And thank you too for using and spreading around his Zodiac referral number 1-800-280-8496. You told your friends, relatives, in-laws, neighbors, coworkers, colleagues, teachers, kids’ teachers, fellow parents in your PTA, bus drivers, beauticians, and anyone else we might have left out. If you know of any other categories I may have omitted , do tell me. We would like to have other sites where we can have our groups.
So basically what we want is some action from you people. We want your feedback. We know we can always count on Dylan to give feedback, but he’s a partner in this venture. How about the rest of you? This is supposed to be a cooperative effort here. For those of you who are on Red Light, Stephen is doing readings for the cost of 10 rays, and classes for 20 rays. Red Light is a network that is more liberal than IMVU has become, since that Charles guy took over.
