Well,  with this new site I would like to include a feature from time to time as well.  But I don’t really want to use the old widget.  Instead, I’d like to make a new monthly or even bi-weekly feature.

That said, here is our first edition.

——————–

Tonight’s feature is our first text-fiction, an entry from almost five years ago.  Barney Calhoun’s Birthday Party by Ghost Calhoun.

Originally posted on the PHL forums, this story is a script style short fiction.  It still stands as a fairly humorous story about Barney Calhoun’s 30th birthday and the Black Mesa/Xen surprise party.

When this story first appeared, Friendly Garg had started to seek potential fan-fiction authors to add to his website.  At that time, Friendly Garg’s Stories was a PHL hosted site and home to image stories.  He had started to expand his interests and over time, the site would move and become known as the Garg-o-holics, but the fan-fiction aspect would be dropped.

This was one of his first findings during that first expansion.  FG quickly posted an offer for Ghost Calhoun to join the story team as a text fiction author and other stories were written and scouted.

Unfortunately, any and all of the other text fictions of that era, there were only a few, have been lost.  But thankfully, this little gem still exists and was restored to the site.  BWL Development presents… Barney Calhoun’s Birthday Party.
