Amelia Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 I loved the last few lines, Dom. Fantastic and perfect. Now, I just hope your epilogue is ridiculously long! I am going to miss Dennis and Travis. Also, is it too much to hope for a conclusion to Aiden and Owen?
bodgy Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 (edited) Yup just read it. I thought I had sussed the ending at Dennis turned into the community center parking lot, fortunately I was proved wrong! Woohoo - With Trust to look forward to now. Edited January 9, 2010 by bodgy
Linxe Termoil Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 LoL. That one I didn't expect. John Gordon himself. Hahah. He's like a man with a toy, and he actually got to use it. He must have pretty big britches or something. LoL. I think that was the epilogue, there in the end where Travis was in his cast and Dennis was working and all that. But we'll see. Who knows. I love you Dom, and i love Travis and Dennis too. My hero's. I wonder how Michael is doing now. God, tomorrow is gonna be busy, I'm gonna totally re-read all of ITFB (I hope I have enough soda), and, I hope we see more closure with Dennis and Ben and Leo, but that's just me, anyways, so, re-read all of ITFB tomorrow, and then re-read WT, and then DD, and then HS, and then finish up my next chapter on my own story, tease Vic and....okay, I'm not sharing the rest of my itinerary, hahah. Loved this chapter, even if I didn't get my brawl. But Travis was classic and true to the end. LT
bodgy Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 (edited) The only thing that still puzzles me is that in the very first episode Kyle looked as though he was going to play a much more important role then he eventually did. Perhaps Dom had a change of mind or forgot what he was originally going to write. Now OK I'm showing my age or something, but is that pronounced as in Kile or if you prefer K -aisle or as in Kylie or Kylie - why do women have to muscle in on boys names and go upsetting the status quo (not sure they still exist, and that really does date me! ) Here in Ozland, there is a radio personage whose name is pronounced Kylie but spelt Kyle, I'm so confused. At least Vivian has a definite difference in spelling - awaiting she with the red pen and bushy eyebrows to correct my grandma and spilling! Edited January 9, 2010 by bodgy
Fishwings Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 : ( I'm going to miss Dennis and Travis too. Chapter 31 was so breath-takingly incredible -- totally made my day. THANKS DOM!
Altimexis Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 For those wondering about an epilogue, if you read Dom's announcement on the release of chapter 31, he writes, "Still have the epilogue to go, just haven't punched in the corrections yet." So the epilogue is yet to come, and I can't wait to read it. Wow, this chapter was so much more than I expected. What a great way to wind ITFB to a conclusion! I, too, hope Dom brings some type of closure to the story of Owen and Aiden, even if it's not the reconciliation I think we'd all like to see. Real life isn't perfect and Dom made it clear that Owen f***ed up the relationship. The ball really is in Owen's court, and he doesn't even realize it. We'll all see if and how Dom resolved their situation in the end, soon enough. Great job, Dom!
Tiger Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 I noticed that too, Altimexis. I really do hope the Epilogue settles the issue with Aiden and Owen. They should be together again. They've admitted it. Now they just need to make it happen.
NaperVic Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 (edited) What a great ending! While I'm sad to see ITFB come to an end, I feel like there's been a lot of closure at many levels. Dennis & Travis seem to be settling into a mutually respectful relationship. John & Dennis seem to have a better understanding of each other. Seems like John doesn't have a problem with what Dennis & Travis are doing in the bedroom. This exchange was particularly funny.... “Walking?” John called after him.“Keeps me sexy,” Travis remarked. And Dennis, Leo, & Ben all seem to be moving forward from the incident of Ben/Lyle. Edited January 9, 2010 by NaperVic
sat8997 Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 Great points, Vic! Excellent job, Dom. Thanks!!
MikeL Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 Great finish to a great story, Dom. Thanks. It's good to see Dennis and especially Travis being so happy. Now we need the same happy ending for Owen and Aiden. Their problem seems so much smaller than those Dennis and Travis had, but just what is their problem?
MikeL Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 it's pronounced kyle (Aisle with a K) Jon, do you know for sure how Australians pronounce "aisle"?
Linxe Termoil Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 Jon, do you know for sure how Australians pronounce "aisle"? Sure, add a sexy twang and a sexier accent and it comes out of a hot mouth and makes me all hot and bothered. The first two are important for the last two, but the last two are all that matters.... (The hot and bothered part)... And....Let's not forget Michael. I want to see some closure with him and his mom too. Linxe 1
bodgy Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 Jon, do you know for sure how Australians pronounce "aisle"? I feel I must break this to you gently, that although I'm of antipodean descent and living in the near humid part, I consider myself very definitely a person of Green and Verdant land - (apologies to William Blake). Anyone want to sell me some tea? Darjeeling with a hint of Assam made with Boston water.
Drewbie Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 Who ever though any of us would say awww at the end of chapter 31 with dennis in it..
Wynter Posted January 10, 2010 Posted January 10, 2010 First of all, Dom I Love You, have my babies. Second, please tell me there's some sort of resolution to the Owen/Aiden story? It doesn't have to be a happily ever after ending. Thirdly, Sure, add a sexy twang and a sexier accent and it comes out of a hot mouth and makes me all hot and bothered. The first two are important for the last two, but the last two are all that matters.... (The hot and bothered part)... And....Let's not forget Michael. I want to see some closure with him and his mom too. Linxe I've never thought our accent was particularly sexy. I should also add that it changes a lot depending on where you are. Personally, I melt over Irish accents.
glomph Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 Maybe the epilogue points to book 3 of the trilogy which deals more with Aiden and Owen.
Tiger Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 Maybe the epilogue points to book 3 of the trilogy which deals more with Aiden and Owen. I'm not too sure about that, because Dom said he doesn't know about writing a third.
koregaboku Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 (edited) I'm not too sure about that, because Dom said he doesn't know about writing a third. I wouldn't mind a third but I'd much rather have more Hello Stupid Well, as long as With Trust is finished first. Haha. Mostly because even in the originals, Taylor and Luke have always been two of my favorite characters (along with Jude and Seth). The Ordinary Us is by far my favorite Dom story anyway with Desert Dropping in a close-ish distant-ish second (but depending on how With Trust ends DD might get replaced ) so Hello Stupid is like a godsend to me . Plus, Owen's stupidity is starting to annoy me . Has he always been this insecure? Because I'm starting to think I'm going to have to go and re-read The Log Way. And sorry about all the emoticons, after the first one I couldn't help it Edited January 11, 2010 by koregaboku
glomph Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 I'm not too sure about that, because Dom said he doesn't know about writing a third. I said "maybe," and I really hoped we wouldn't need it. I think the Epilogue took care of it, as I'd hoped, though more eliptically than expected.
