comicfan Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 Jonas Marks is your average teenager. He just graduated from high school and is awaiting a chance to go to college in the fall. The only problem is the fact he is gay, and made the huge mistake of coming out to his homophobic father. When he is thrown out of his house and ends up living on his friend Jenny's couch, Jonas knows the time has come to alter his life. However, in trying to get his life back on track he takes a job at Kroger's, a place well known for the rich items they sell. The problem is Jonas' new boss isn't like anyone else, in fact, he isn't completely human. Jonas' life has taken a strange turn and before it is over his life will never be the same again. Special thanks go to Andy (better known to most as Quonos10) - who said the Anthology piece really needed to become a full story and stepped in as the beta to make sure it happened, and to Frostina - who as usual has stepped in to prevent me from screwing this up as she edits it for me.
K.C. Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 I loved the story as an anthology piece and can't wait to read it as a full story!!! 2
comicfan Posted January 29, 2012 Author Posted January 29, 2012 Chapter 2 of Jonas is now up. Tell me what you think.
Terry P Posted January 29, 2012 Posted January 29, 2012 Great chapter. A little short - but things are looking up for Jonas. I'm looking forward to more. 1
comicfan Posted January 30, 2012 Author Posted January 30, 2012 Thanks. The chapters are all written, at least up through 9 at the moment. I had a lot to fill in and create with this story. It is fun and a bit different from my normal style of writing. Hopefully you will continue to enjoy it.
Andrew Q Gordon Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 Wayne, I suppose it's a bit gauche of me to comment on the story I'm helping on, but I still really loved this story. Jonas has a real feel, even though the concept is fantasy. I usually try NOT to comment on stories I'm working on because I'm always worried I'll give something away, but I figure these comments are general enough that they won't spoil things. Anyway, I am thrilled to be helping you, but in truth, you don't really need my help to make this great. I'm just riding your coattails. 1
comicfan Posted February 6, 2012 Author Posted February 6, 2012 I apologize for not having three up yet. To be honest, it is a little late getting back to me so as soon as I have it I will post. I promise.
Andrew Q Gordon Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 Eek, my bad Wayne, I suppose I need to do better. But it really is coming along well, it's worth the wait.
comicfan Posted February 6, 2012 Author Posted February 6, 2012 Nope we are waiting on Chapter 3, Andy. Not 4 or 5. lol.
comicfan Posted February 7, 2012 Author Posted February 7, 2012 Okay I apologize for the wait but finally got three up. Hopefully you will all enjoy.
comicfan Posted February 13, 2012 Author Posted February 13, 2012 A day late but Chapter 4 is now up. I do apologize I was away so couldn't do much till I got home. Enjoy all. Comments as usual are always welcome.
K.C. Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 Ooooh Can't wait to read new chapter but have to wait until after work tomorrow after the day I had today. It will be my little pick-me-up after another double shift tomorrow.
comicfan Posted February 14, 2012 Author Posted February 14, 2012 KC, I don't envy you a double shift. Just get some rest. I'll try to get busy and get Jonas completed and to the beta and editor. The story is done through 7. Then it is crunch time.
K.C. Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 (edited) Yeah double today and tomorrow...I'm surprised that my words aren't all blurring together yet. If I read right now my review probably wouldn't make much sense I really like the story, It was my all time favorite anthology! Edited February 14, 2012 by KC Grim
comicfan Posted February 20, 2012 Author Posted February 20, 2012 Chapter five is up for your enjoyment. Comments are always welcome, good or bad just don't be vicious. lol
MJ85 Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 I originally read the anthology story back when I was browsing through the anthologies some weeks back. After the last chapter, I had to go back and compare the four to that story as written, because I was feeling too much like I was re-reading the same thing over again, just stretched out into chapter form. It took re-reading to be able to see the new, fleshed-out material. Personally, I'm eager for the craziness to start.
comicfan Posted February 20, 2012 Author Posted February 20, 2012 Yes I'm fleshing out the short story, adding the details as I go and I have a beta and editor keeping me from going too far astray. Glad you notice the differences and hopefully you are enjoying the story.
K.C. Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 I'm really liking the pace of the new Jonas and the new details. I can't wait for more
comicfan Posted February 21, 2012 Author Posted February 21, 2012 I'm really liking the pace of the new Jonas and the new details. I can't wait for more You know me, I like to give you enough to keep you happy, but not enough you know what is going to happen. The nice thing about expanding this, is I get to slide in new events and things that I just didn't have time for. Wait for the sword. LOL.
K.C. Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 This is the 2nd time you have teased me with the 'sword'...It better be in the next chapter or I'll...or I'll...or I'll pout! (and maybe stomp my feet a bit too!)
Daddydavek Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 It seems the "S" word is sword. But is it a phallic symbol?
comicfan Posted March 8, 2012 Author Posted March 8, 2012 It seems the "S" word is sword. But is it a phallic symbol? Not phallic, more of comedic. lol. Needed to show that even among all the wild parts of Jonas' life there are still things that can make him smile. Oh and for those interested Chapter 6 is up now.
comicfan Posted April 2, 2012 Author Posted April 2, 2012 Patiently waiting for more Jonas Sorry, been sucked into a black hole temporarily and is presently waiting on his author to finish his latest chapter which is about 4/5ths complete.
K.C. Posted April 2, 2012 Posted April 2, 2012 that's no kind of answer... **organizing a search party for Jonas**
