That does make me wonder, how many are mine?  Probably not as many as it should be.

I am on my 6th reading of morning star !

Hmm I'm actually not sure, I'd say at least 4 times.  Someone was reading through it this last week and liking some of my comments from 2016, so I ended up rereading those chapters again, and I'll probably reread the whole thing again soon.  

[Albert1434]

Wow I reviewed 50 books and got the Badge!

I spent a couple of years lurking, reading and not commenting.   Best thing I did was join. I joined because I wanted to comment, and say thank you to some of the authors.

[Albert1434]

I comment on very chapter I read every one! And review every book!

Hello young Albert

[Albert1434]

How are things in the land down under?

[Bucket1]

I'm not as good as you - I need to do more reading and then add comments.

Problem is I am still working through my New Year Resolution from last year. I have a heap of physical books that I am still working my way through.

Cold - no snow but t-shirt weather has definitely gone

I can’t believe you are still getting snow

[Albert1434]

We took the car to get it washed and we got just a little yesterday

I was brought here from a different website, but I spent about a week lurking, and I very specifically joined to add comments.  That was about all I did my first year on the site, and of course not everyone appreciated my comments equally.  It was around the time I was reading A to Z, and something else, that I got way more involved in commenting, and eventually met Tim, who pulled me into the community, and eventually led me to here.  Or what the equivalent of this board was in 2016.   Along with regularly commenting on Gary's writing.  I think he was posting Treading Water at this time, and I had a comment for every chapter.  

As much as I vocally love Morningstar for obvious reasons, Treading Water will always hold a special place in my heart for this reason.

I don't really remember how I got here. I'd read "The Secret Life of Billy Chase", and I wanted to find more stories by Comicality. I think I Googled his name, and GayAuthors was one of the first results on the page. Or maybe it was "gay stories websites" that I searched. 🤷‍♂️

You're really going to try to violate the sanctity of the herd, for like the hundredth time this week?  You know what will happen, and you'll just complain again when I get the Terry veto. 

Sorry to say Spike I can only veto a tax on the Asian portion of your herd.  That won't keep Drew from trying to bankrupt your herd, but will at least mitigate the damage.  😜 Hope everything is going good for you.

@raven1 Hey, Terry!  How are you and Aod?

I can say I think it might have actually been Comsie's personal site that brought me here.  It's crazy to think though, I probably should've been here many years before I actually was.  I wasn't an avid reader of Comicality's writing, but I read a few of his stories on the Nifty archive back in the day, in my very early 20s, and I was aware of his brand of writing throughout the 2000s.  Definitely before the original GA was formed.  I've been reading  gay stories online since the early days of the world wide web, and I remember multiple sites I used to visit on like Geocites, etc.  I probably should have been part of that early community.    

As a side note, it's funny to hear younger people talk about the "early internet" and they'll reference something like Youtube, and I'm like kids that was over 10 years after the world wide web launched.

Terry, Drew was very specifically going after my BL boys, and those are really the only ones I actually keep track of.   He knew what he was doing.
