So here's my story. I'm a newbie,

 

Opening a thread, in the hope of the story being discussed and commented on when I start regular posting.

 

The first chapter is a real short teaser. Sorry guys.tongue.gif

 

Smiles,

Kevin.

My only criticism about this story is that it was too short because I wanted more. There are so many tantalising hints in this chapter... about the past, about the present about the future.

 

I want to know what happend to Derek, what he does next and how the future pans out for the two of them,

 

The characters are already compelling. they already have a story even in so few words. Keep telling it. Well done. Excellent start

I second Nephylim's comment, it seemed too short even for a prologue. I thought it was a good start, though, and I'm definitely curious to find about Derek and his secret, like why he thinks he's sick (my guess is it's either because of self-mutilation or sadomasochism).

 

If his secret does turn out to be the latter then it would be kind of ironic that the other character is named 'Dom'. Perhaps it's intentional or I'm reading too much into it. Either way, I'm looking forward to the other chapters.

That would be too funny... trust you to see that. I'm pouting that I missed it :)

Thanks Nephy and Boy In Doubt for the comment.

 

You're so revved up. I just hope the followings don't disappoint you.

It's funny because I considered whether to change the name, but "Dom" the name kept me charged during my writing so I kept it. As for the secret, let's wait and see.

 

 

 

Both of you complained it's too short. I promised I'll post the next soon, but it's still being revised, so...

This was a great chapter... so Dom is a lawyer :) Better and better :) Derek sounds so sad. Looks like he's in for a bad hangover sometime soon. :)

I just got done reading it and thought that the flashbacks were a great way to let us get to know the characters a bit better. I do like the name Dominic Steffanson so I'm glad you kept it. :) Perhaps your subconscious was trying to tell you something when it kept nagging you to call him 'Dom'...lol

 

I also found the juxtaposition of the lunch scene with the after-sex scene kind of interesting. And since they had subway sandwiches I was like, "Kinky!" :lol:

 

Looking forward to the rest, hopefully we'll know more about Derek's secret.

I've never thought of the 'kinky' scene though. LOL

 

Hangover, definitely.

 

 

 

 

I think I'll put the story on hiatus, due to a big plot change.

A good intro. You give us the situation but hold the details for later.

Nice one. You know how much I love this story and it's author who made the editing so easy for me. This is not the best chapter in the story so that says a hell of a lot about the story as a whole. :)

Interesting. Who is this Matt? My curiosity is running wild.

Interesting. I'm glad Dom found him and he didn't die. One thing, if he was in the hospital and passed out, they would have put in a catheter. He wouldnt have needed to get up to pee.

WOW! Sad and SOOO realistic! I feel Derrick's pain and it conjures up so many memories. Wonder why we can be our own worst enemies? Keep up the good work and I look forward to more.

Very sweet. All the harder for Derek when it all comes crashing down.

 

I liked the part where Jenna made Derek blush, "which bedroom is louder". Teehee.

Lots of hints and teases and plenty of sweet detail. The story is real and colourful and the characters live. I like it a lot.

An awesome start. Yeah it was too short... because it left me wanting more and wanting it now. There is so much possibility here I want to know where it's going.

Very short, too short I think; unless it is followed with the next chapter immediately ROFL. You sketched out your two characters with admirable economy. Dom's character comes through nicely in the two or three examples given. Derek's conflict is clear (and summed up nicely in the final sentence). I look forward to reading the next chapter.

Have you ever wanted to avoid the obvious. I believe that is Derek's wish. He avoids with sadness. A good chapter.

Near loss and restarts in relationships are difficult, especially on top of shaking ground.

This was well written. But I just hate what is happening here with Derek.

Really enjoyed this chapter. The retelling of "Thanksgiving" and all its details really gives us insight into your story and the relationship of Domie and Derek. A very nice chapter.

A lot of punch for a few words. It makes a statement, tells us what we need to know. Derek is a mess.

Super charged chapter. I love the way that things are unfolding at this point. At least Derek it getting himself out of the depression. Isn't it just the case that sometimes even when you try to put things right they turn out wrong.
