Cool story, and cool new chapter. Can't wait for the next one. (I hope I'm not one of those people you listed at the end of your chapter. Next time give us a link. )

 

You weren't, which is a BAD thing. However, just mentioning the thread got YOU here, so it's a partial success. There'd be too many windows open and copy+pasting going on if I tacked on a link at the end of each Closing Notes, since I also copy+paste the chapter itself onto the chapter textbox, then I have to copy the URL once the chapter's up so that I have it for the eFiction Announcement thread I inevitably have to put up (and I'm thinking about discontinuing that, since everyone knows that new chapters always come out on Fridays). I assume people are smart enough to navigate to the forums and find the thread in the appropriate subsection. You can't ALL be as dense as Anthony. That's unpossible!

 

EDIT: So I think it's time to suggest that fanart is to be made. Since I don't describe the characters' physicality, I'd like to see what you guys (and Nephy) think Shawn and Anthony (and Keith) look like. You can use any medium. Also, you can just type what you think they look like. WARNING: Shawn and Anthony may or may not critique pictures depicting them.

Ch. 21: ???: Dude, there's this cool guy. And he's AWESOME. And he rules the school, dude. And he has legions of fans drooling all over him, 'cause he's so hot, dude. Yeah, and he gets all the chick, dude, because they all heard about how he's so good in bed. Really, he's like a sex machine. And he has a really big penis, too, dude. It's a monster. In fact, that's what all the girls he's slept with call it. And he's slept with a lot of girls, dude. And he's the best at all the sports he plays, which is all of them, dude. He's the captain of the football team, the basketball team, the baseball team, the wrestling team, but not that sissy soccer team. Those guys are losers, dude. I mean, seriously. That's not even a real sport. You just kick a ball around. That's it. It doesn't involve any skill. I mean, everyone can do that, dude. But anyways, yeah, he's the best dude on the planet.

 

???: And then he got run over by a poodle and died. The end.

 

Alright, I left this thread alone so that the Anthologies could have their week to shine, but now I'm back! Muahaha! Read up on previous posts and let's get this 4-man party started again!

New chapter and still I keep asking myself whether Shawn is yet to wake up from a wishful dream of Anthony being interested in him, but this is probably due to my paranoia.

Ah, the old "It was all a dream" scenario...will I be cheap enough to pull that one off? Keep reading to find out (yes, I'm evil). Alternatively, this is all just ANTHONY'S dream of Shawn being interested in him (he has..."weird" tastes).

[NightOwl88]

Hmm, I should let you know that if Anthony oes back on this whole thing AGAIN I'm likely to throtle him just for kicks lol.

 

I liked the chapter it was a pretty good one. Kieth is becoming interesting; I'm ever more curious as to what he'll be doing later in the story. I don't have much more to say right now, I'm sorta out of it.

 

 

Best.

That was a fun chapter, I'm glad this new twist in Shawn and Anthony's "relationship" didn't change their personalities. I'm way too fond of Anthony's bipolar closet routine and Shawn's...well his general dislike of people would be a good way of putting it. I was a little dissapointed by Emmy's son: I thought he would be a new interesting character! Oh well...The possibility of Shawn interacting with a shrink makes up for it.

 

I don't think you explicitly stated where Anthony outed himself to his mom, so I'm going to chalk that up to something else Shawn misunderstood about the situation. I wonder what's happening at Anthony's house if it's not a "meet the rents" dinner....He seemed afraid so there must be other people there...possible new character? Keith? Who knows, it just makes next seem more and more interesting. I'm soo glad things were too good to be true. Way too boring that way....

[Young Sage]

You are a horrible person for not wishing for good things to have happen to Shawn and Anthony. Coincidentally, bad things will probably continue to have happen to Shawn and Anthony, 'cause it'd be too boring otherwise. Unrelatedly, how about some more trivia? After a bad experience, Anthony is coulrophobic. Keith doesn't like it when girls make the first move. And Shawn hates you all, especially you.

[Caedus]

Who me?

 

Maybe I forgot but can you describe the characters again, I want to know if they fit the image I have in my head. Maybe Nephy could do some art work for you... =D

[Young Sage]

Canonically, Shawn is shorter than Anthony, Anthony has a jock's built, has emerald green eyes, and a hairy tushcus. That's the only physical description I've released. Everything else is up to you. Perhaps, and this is merely my suggestion, you could imagine them with two eyes, ears, a nose, lips, 4 limbs, hair in appropriate places, and all the sexual organs necessary to urinate with? But that's just me. You could have them be amorphous blobs for all I care, as long as the canon stuff is retained.

[Caedus]

"shrugs" Urinating is overrated anyways.

 

So this latest chapter ended with Anthony's fear about something, which makes me wonder: D the boys have any phobias? Maybe some amusingly irrational ones?

[Young Sage]

I just mentioned a phobia a few posts ago...

[Caedus]

My bad, I was trying to watch the NBA Draft, JPN vs DEN, and make all these posts so I missed that. I hate vuvuzuelas...

 

What are some of the boys favorite movies? How does Anthony rate sports? How would Shawn prefer to die if he had too?

Shawn's favorite movie is "Monty Python and the Holy Grail;" Anthony's is "Mortal Kombat;" Keith's is "Remember the Titans." Anthony thinks football is the best, baseball, basketball, and wrestling ranking in the middle, "non-manly" sports like tennis, golf, and cricket ranking towards the bottom, and the bottom of the barrel belongs to soccer. His reasons, he says, are justified. Shawn would prefer to die whilst wiping your entire existence clean off the face of the earth.

[Caedus]

Shawn: I'll bring the chloroform, if you bring the arsenic.

 

Keith: I love that movie! You need to put this kid in more next chapter.

 

Also Rugby is considered by some to be "more manly" than football. "Only pansies wear pads". Apparently "real men" risk injury, death and brain damage with the bare clothes on their backs. Go figure.

[Young Sage]

Ch. 22: The PRINCESS has been kidnapped! Help SHAWN & ANTHONY traverse the luscious GAI ISLE, fight against the evil KEITHLINGS, and make their way up the dreaded JOCK TOWER, to do battle against the feared KING DUDE! Only you can save the day! (Cheat codes included on back of packet.)

[Young Sage]

So it's been dead here lately. Thought I'd spark up some conversation. With questions! Only, I don't know what questions to ask. Any predictions to the plot in the near or far future? Any questions for Shawn, Anthony, or Keith? Any predictions about the characters themselves? Any questions for me? Somebody throw me a bone here!

 

(Note: Shawn and Anthony do not live anywhere near Nick or the other Slash Work characters, so no crossovers are happening.)

[NightOwl88]

Hey Young Sage,

 

Sorry its taken me so long to get here after the most recent chapter, I've been running up one way and down another. I liked the most recent chapter, it was nice to see Anthony stop waffling back and forth with Shawn and finally do something concrete.

I do have a few things to bring up with the characters.

 

To Keith I have a questions,

 

Stripping away all of the macho posturing (as much as you are capable of) what is you're opinion of Shawn? In honesty, I am curious.

 

To Shawn and Anthony,

 

Try not to freak over Emmy possibly knowing that there is something up between you two, if she does then good since she obviously ok with it (she gave you permission to stay together) and if she don't you two acting like dolts will give it away anyway.

 

Good Work,

Best Wishes,

NightOwl

 

 

[Young Sage]

Keith: Bro, that dude ain't right, man. He ain't tight. Something 'bout him, bro. That b**** is crazy! Did you know he tried to attack me in school?! B**** is takin' something HARD and I want whatever HE'S havin'!

 

Your comment to Shawn and Anthony was just that, a comment. Not a question. So they can't answer you. If you had asked them "Do you think Emmy knows?" however, then they would answer like this.

 

Shawn: Possibly. She's have to be retirement-home-senile not to piece it together by now. Anthony smacking her across the head with clues certainly isn't helping any.

Anthony: Dude! It's not like I said 'Hey, Aunt Emmy. I'm going to go f*** my boyfriend right now. Is that cool?' to her over the phone! Besides, we...well, I'm straight enough that she wouldn't even consider thinking that I'm like you.

Shawn *death glare*: And what is THAT supposed to mean? YOU'RE the one performing the stripteases!

 

And so on and so forth.

[Caedus]

Shawn: Haha at least he's calling you his BF now =). So how good is your "gaydar"? Can you tell if a guys interested or in the closet (Besides Anthony)? What do you think of gay people in general? What do you think of Keith, in your humble opinion?

 

Anthony: How do you explain hanging out with Shawn to Keith and your other friends? What does Shawn do/say that really pisses you off sometimes.

 

Keith: What is your drug and or "drank"( is that still the popular proper term) of choice when you want to get f***** up? Why do like being popular?

YS: If you're talking about my previous post, then Anthony was using the term sarcastically.

S: Every guy in the theater club, art club, and choir (and one that was one the football team, hint hint), is gay. You don't need gaydar to know that.

A: And just WHO is this dude on the football team, dude?

S *grins*: I think you know him quite well.

A: *cracks knuckles*

S: *unfazed* Keith is an a**. Obviously, since he hangs out with Anthony.

---

A: I don't. I don't tell them nothing, because I don't hang out with that kid.

S: "That kid"? ONE of us can legally buy porn, you know. And it ain't YOU.

A: You see? Who would want to hang out with somebody like THAT.

S: *smacks him upside the head*

A: F***!

*proceeds to brawl*

YS: To answer the second question, every single thing Shawn says, ever.

---

K: Bro, you ONLY do stuff like that on Fridays and Saturdays, when you don't care about how you feel the next day. I tried Mary Jane once. After spending a couple hours on the toilet, I decided not to try it again. Anthony likes that sissy beer, Budweiser. But I drink MANLY beer. I drink Coors, bro. But I can't hide it in the house, man. My parents would find it easily. I just buy it from the store with my fake ID, drive to Brett's house, drink that s*** up, throw it in his trash can along with the other bottles, then drive on home. Bro, I'm assuming you meant "why do I like being popular?" That's a stupid question, and I hang around Anthony for a living. Who WOULDN'T like to be popular? All that power...you can do whatever you want!

[Young Sage]

Ch. 23: Shawn and Anthony are SEXY SEXUALLY AMBIGUOUS VAMPIRES ON THE RUN FROM THE LAW. They seek shelter in an ironically delapitated CATHOLIC CHURCH, but the LAW is right behind them. This is their last stand! Will they survive? Will they get unexpected help from MANLY UNDERAGED WEREWOLVES? Find out!

[Young Sage]

Ch. 24: Shawn and Anthony have ANATOMICALLY INACCURATE SEX. First, Anthony does Shawn up the pooper and Shawn can feel his head TOUCHING HIS ESOPHAGUS. After Anthony SPEWS HIS BOY JUICES, they switch positions, where Anthony is jamming his THROBBING LOVE MEAT down Shawn's throat, to the point where Shawn can feel it COMING OUT OF HIS OWN ANUS LIKE A TAIL. After Anthony EXPLODES, they switch to a pretzel position and somehow manage to DO Shawn both orally and anally AT THE SAME TIME. They both ORGANISM. What happens next? Find out!

[Caedus]

Yay another "Dream Sequence"! How cool would it be If they had the same or similar dream at the same time?! Then Anthony gets all pissed off because he got a bum deal (no pun intended).

 

I also have some questions:

 

Shawn: Other than erm recent events, what's the most random dream you've ever had? How do manage to get away with rubbing one off without Emmy or one of the kids catching you? What's the worse part of riding the bus to school your senior year?

 

Anthony: what's the best part about owning your own car? What's the most embarrasing thing about your mom? Exactly how long have you been having "sleeping issues"?

 

Thanks again YS! Hope your having fun with Chrono Trigger

Somehow, I doubt that if Anthony had a similar dream, he would also wind up on bottom. And the New Game Effect is already wearing off on me.

Shawn: This one time, I dreamt that I told you to shut the f*** up, and you DID! I once dreamt that I was going to Florida because CLEARLY I was fully certified to be an astronaut and travel to the Sun (for some strange reason or another). The trick to jerking off is to be REALLY quiet, but you already knew that, didn't you?

Anthony: Somebody's being cranky today...

S: Shut it. And the worse part about riding the bus is listening to all those snot-nosed brats going on and on about this thing or that thing, all of which is STUPID and so are they!

 

A: Best part is the freedom, dude! I can go anywhere I want (as long as my mom knows where I'm at, but don't tell the guys!).

K: Don't tell me what, bro?

A: F***! Where'd you come from, dude?!

K: My house? What are you, a dips*** now?

A: *punches Keith on the arm, hard* F***er.

K: Yeah, you KNOW I want to f*** her. Speaking of your mom, isn't the next ques...

A: F*** YOU, S***HEAD!!!

*Anthony starts to wail on Keith, with Keith defending himself surprisingly well. But, then again, SHAWN managed to beat Anthony in a fight, so that's not really saying much.*

A: F*** you, too! That was a fluke!

*YS steps in*

YS: Anthony only started having the sleeping problems around the time he left Emmy's house and started living back at his own home.

THE END

[NightOwl88]

Sorry its taken me so long tog et in here after the last chapter, life took a deepr turn toward the complicated side of life. I liked the most recent chapter, it was lite and pretty enjoyable, i liked the little clue you gave in it as well. Like everyone else I agree with teh sex fantasy, I still don't understand why you doubt your ability to write them. True they may not be as good as real life but in reality the written word is never as good as the action. I look forward to reading more, and I hope we get more face time with Kieth, I get the feeling he is important in some way.

 

best,

NightOwl
