Cbdt Chapter 11 (1 More Chapter Before Hiatus And End Of Book 1)

https://www.gayauthors.org/story/w-l/0sand1scbdt/13 Before I begin my weekly blurb, I just want to congratulate all the contestants of the Secret Santa story contest. Now to start, escalation and counter-escalation is something I love exploring. If you live in a world where threats exists from extreme ideologies, why won't reactionary elements from your own side take action? Being LGBT doesn't mean that we're all saints. Jesse Heron is determined, hot-tempered, and has nothing to los

The G. M. Os., Chapter 18

Chapter 18? Yes, Chapter 18. I was trying to come up with what I was going to write next in the next chapter in the Hercules III saga, but I just couldn’t come up with anything logical. There just wasn’t anywhere to go even though I had the outline to go by. So, I thought about where I could go with The G. M. Os. And, then, yesterday it came to me and by five o’clock this afternoon I had completed Chapter 18. Plus, it ended with a cliff hanger, which is extremely rare for me, but seemed appr

Riding Thoughts

Winter

When the idea for the CJ series began to take form in my mind, it was never meant to be a coming of age story about CJ. César was meant to be the main character. I wanted to explore how a father and son, both gay, would relate to each other, and to a circle of mostly gay friends. Although the little bastard stole the limelight, and my heart along with it, the original intent is still very much at the center of the stories. A group of gay friends, unapologetic for their sexuality, interacting

I Think She Might Be Pure Evil...

Warning: Totally depressing post here. I'm actually okay, just needed to put this somewhere because if I didn't I'd scream. Merry Christmas Everyone! ** My mother is officially pure evil. I know i've had my problems with her over the years, but this morning has really taken the cake. She's had a cough for a few weeks, but she's got friends round at the moment. She's telling her how she was on an oxygen mask, went into hospital for a week, hasn't been able to move off the sofa and ha

Diner: The Musical

As a 30th birthday present to myself, I bought tickets to see the Delaware Theatre Company production of Diner, a new musical written by Sheryl Crow. It's based on a 1982 movie called Diner, which starred such young up-and-coming actors as Kevin Bacon, Tim Daly, Daniel Stern, Paul Reiser, Ellen Barkin, Steve Gutenberg, and Mickey O'Rourke. Taking place at the end of 1959, the movie/musical follows a group of friends, all in their early 20's, as they navigate through the pitfalls and concerns of

Of Things To Come...

When the Alliance Civil War broke out 2549, the giant TranStellar corporations located in the Corporate Sector seceded from the Alliance and formed the Consolidated Federation (commonly called the ConFed). The ConFed consisted of five huge TransStellar corporations: Nakajima, MilTech, Venture, предприятие (Enterprise) and Gradient plus hundreds of smaller subsidiaries located in the sector. Those five corporations alone accounted for almost thirty percent of the Alliance GNP. In the beginning th

The G. M. Os. Chapter 2

Chapter 2 - The Temple has been published. It's the first chapter of a new protagonist, Li, who is very much into meditation. I was also very much into meditation when I was studying esoteric religion. It was fun and gave me a peaceful attitude in life. Later, when I was very much into evangelical Christianity I went back to meditating on what I was reading. It helped. Of course all of that was long ago, but the memories remain. So, I gave Li a little project. Later in the book, Li will have

Fortune and Mens Eyes

Excerpt - Stave Three

"Touch my robe." Scrooge did as he was told, and held it fast. Holly, mistletoe, red berries, ivy, turkeys, geese, game, poultry, brawn, meat, pigs, sausages, oysters, pies, puddings, fruit, and punch, all vanished instantly. So did the room, the fire, the ruddy glow, the hour of night, and they stood in the city streets on Christmas morning, where (for the weather was severe) the people made a rough, but brisk and not unpleasant kind of music, in scraping the snow from the pavement in f

Oops!

As luck would have it, I screwed up and tried to accept Microsoft’s offer of OneDrive. What a stupid thing that was. I couldn’t remember my password, and then I couldn’t remember the answers to all of the questions they asked to verify my identity. So they locked me out of my account and now I can’t send out any chapters of The G.M.Os. to get proofed. Plus, I had already sent one out one and was waiting for it to come back. So, I’m stuck for the next while or so. With help from an Admin, I w

Star Wars Episode 7 Force Awakens (No Spoilers)

That was AWESOME! Seriously, they pulled all the stops, we got to seeold favorites and new faces with great backstories and mysterious pasts. I was scared JJ Abrams couldn't handle this franchise, but I was wrong, he did it well and added some fun plot points. When Han Solo (Harrison Ford) came back on the Millennium Falcon, a round of applause came from everyone in the theater. I think everyone appreciates George Lucas as the founder and creator of Star Wars Franchise, but his prequels

Cbdt Chapter 10 (2 More Chapters Then Hiatus Break)

https://www.gayauthors.org/story/w-l/0sand1scbdt/12 The plot thickens; the relationship between Hunter and Kevin is complicated to say the least. There is definitely romantic and sexual tension, but losing a lover is not something you can get away from easily, nor is a Nervous breakdown really a great start of a romance. I am being realistic with the two of them, if they do form a lasting bond eventually, it will have to be done through a long drawn out process of soul searching. As for

Miracle On 34Th Street 1947 (Non-Lgbt Movie Review)

Why do I consider this movie to be one of the best Christmas movies ever made? Simple, in a society that has become so cynical and hopeless, it is a refreshing reminder that the world can surprise you. Faith is something this movie transfers in a non-religious way to conceptual reality. If a man says, he's Santa Claus, we would likely say he's insane. We're a society in doubt and denial against faith in a positive aspect of the world and mankind's capability to be better than what we are tod

Working Title: Contract Lovers

Seems I’m on a creative wave and I don’t want to get off. Wrote the outline—which is something of an exception to my normal writing technique—today, including naming the protagonist (Jacobus or Jac), childhood friends (best friend until death is Laconus or Lac), primary friends, secondary friends, lovers, and lovers under contract. The span of the story will be from age 5 to death at 106. To the best of my chemically fuzzy memory, this will be the first time I’ve tried to write something in

Finally! The end has come. The GMOs ends at Chapter 17. There are no more words to add. Difficult chapter, death, evil, marriage, commitment, and children. Pending revisions, the story ends at 112,301 words. Soon, to a computer near you, The GMOs presents a world controlled by robots where humans are treated not much better than cargo as their spaceship heads out into the heavens looking for an acceptable planet for the humans to colonize. There will be crime, prisons, gay id
