    Sweet and simple. I liked your epilogue showing that the characters were able to achieve their HEA... especially after some work and effort, specifically the need for counseling. Well done.

    Perfect. Loved brave Teddy vs timid Bunny and generous cousin Rachel.
  3. It's 11:47 pm on Saturday Oct 12. I just stopped working on an Excel spreadsheet and decided to check out the forums.
  4. Welcome and congrats, Scotty. GA is a great place and I'm so happy you found it and it has helped you with finding self acceptance. We all need that no matter who we are or who want to be. Remember that you're an amazing person because you're unique - a one of a kind human being in this world who deserves to be safe, happy, healthy and loved. Surround yourself with friends and family who love you for you and ignore those who won't - they don't matter. Good luck with you're writing and I look forward to reading one of your completed stories.
  5. Received handwritten letter, last month. Sent a hand written letter? It's been so long I can't even remember. I do print my typed letters on stationery.

    Little Man

    What a intertwined relationship you created, expanded, explored for these three friends. You had me hooked and waiting to see what would happen next. Lots of highs and lows and misunderstandings. That was very dramtic pivotal scene choice that brought them back together and exposed even more depth to their feelings and interrelationship. Great job.
  7. Excellent. I like how this wasn't a typical friends-to-lovers story. Discovery, realization, heartbreak, accusations and resolutions. It was all there and it could have gone in several directions but I loved how you ended it with everyone happy and still friends.
  8. I'm not sure what to say. It was such an emotional roller coaster that dealt with so much pain and loss. I sure didn't expect any reconciliation or forgiveness on any level. I'd say more but the other reviewers said it all and so much better. Well done, Mann.

    A Cook's Tale

    Fantastic! It was just as good as the first one. Throughout the story I kept wondering where you were heading with the dizziness. Sure didn't expect that twist. Loved the relationship you created between Gamin and Erron, both past and present. I teared up when the threesome split, especially the post break-up conversation between Barrus and James I'm hoping in one of your future stories they'll find the 3rd that truly completes them. The flashback to Gamin and Niven, even sadder. Looking forward to reading more stories from the Santa Claus logs.
  10. I don't think anyone's listening to you. Maybe you need to SHOUT next time.

    Supermoon

    These are beautiful. Love moon shots and I think colored moon shots are fascinating. The shots with cloud cover are fabulous. Thank you for sharing them.

  13. Oh, yes, it does look like Garfield! It's the first thing I thought of when I saw it.

    Chapter 18

    I really wanted Sue to help all the others that Reverend Shaw got his fingers into. What a picture you painted of that place. *shiver* Loved Daniel and his view of life and acceptance. You created a beautiful relationship between Josh and Daniel. And you're right, it would be nice if we all could have that in real life. This was a hard one to set aside (birds chirping morning songs alerted me that I had read through the night).
  16. Wow... *fanning self* oh my... Loved the last line. Makes you wonder why Gabriel regrets his decision. Evern more, will Cyan regret Gariel's decision. It's amazing how you subtly misdirect the reader. Excellent as always.
  17. To have a multitude of life vectors - one of them being a horrific incident - converging at one point, you, it's no wonder you'd want to yell and push back. But then, to have someone step back and notice that's something is very wrong because they "know you" is amazing. (Unlike Why Didn't He Say Something.) Enjoyed how this turned into a sweet ending. Enjoyed all the differing character perspectives. Enjoyed reading it.
  18. I... *sniffle* hate... *sniffle, sniffle* you... *wiping face with tissue* Not fair. So good. So sad.
  19. I have my genre preferences and usually enjoy them the most, but I'll try anything. I don't like to limit myself because you never know what hidden gem is out there. I've found several authors I now follow by doing this. 99.9% of the time I will finish a story even if I may not be enjoying it. I never know what I might learn even if it's just the realization that it was a colossal waste of time. If I wasn't too wild about a story, I'm still willing to read a second one from the that author just to make sure that it wasn't a one-off situation. I do make sure the story is complete, then check the description and tags so that I know what I'm getting into and, finally, read. I think Nephylim's comment says it all:

    Prompt #241

    Ok, creepy. Deserving of a Twilight Zone episode. Unlike Wayne, I didn't even think of I Sing the Body Electric but I did think of Living Doll but your story and its twisted ending was so much better. I'm not into horror so I've never seen House of Wax so I have no understanding of your inspiration. I like how your character didn't put 2 and 2 together. I wonder how many of us would read the article and think, "That's a bizarre coincidence" and continue on just like he did. Well done, Andy.

    Chained

    I think my whole body hurt by the time I finished because of your descriptive words. Way to leave us wondering if he survived or died. I couldn't figure out who would be "familiar" when all who cared for him were dead. Silly me, didn't think of the lover angle (thanks for telling us). Very good, Nephylim.

    Chris and Luke

    Great solution to a medical problem (Borg nanites?). Throw in love, an emotional rollercoaster and suspense and you've got a great read. Thank you for that ending. As always, a wonderful story.

    A Christmas Story

    A very sweet Christmas short. Again, you surprised me with the ending. I expected the opposite. I love how you can pack so much emotion into something so compact.
  24. "...i had to think long and hard whether i wanted to submit it for publication,..." and I'm glad you did. What an emotional and physical maelstrom you put Isaac through. Then you bring him out mostly sane and whole only to smack him with an unexpected atomic love. I was exhausted by the end. You surprised me with "bad boy" Connor decision. I was reluctant to finish the story because I was afraid of what ending I'd be reading. Excellent story, Nephylim.
  25. Well that makes sense now. The trefoil designed by men to represent the Triinity, the resulting "naughty shadow effect," and how men really love to worship their own... ummmm... "trinity." Can you imagine trying to take in all visual possibilities even with today's software. Overwhelming! It's enough to give one the shivers.
