Astroglide has always served me well for my various needs. I do agree with Jordan, foreskin is free

Mark, Once again, another excellent chapter! I really like the dynamic between JJ and Will. Will totally has JJ's back and vice versa until the very end, even if they do grate on each other's nerves sometimes (but hey, siblings do that, it's written in the rules). Now that we have seen Wade in action with Mary Ellen and Elizabeth having been mentioned, I cannot help but feel like maybe, just maybe, Elizabeth and Mary Ellen had their parts of the ultimate plan to play, but that they may not be the true masterminds. I mean lets be fair, how many times has Elizabeth Danfield been involved in some scheme? Loads of times. But, having said that, she's been relatively "quiet," per se, since her husband died (Hammer being the exception), so I'm not so sure I'd understand why, now, all of the sudden she's decided to come outside and play. I don't know, I'm just not fully convinced that she and Mary Ellen are the full masterminds. It's almost... expected (but that's just my author brain talking). So that being said, I"m REALLY looking forward to what we have in store for our favorite Bay Area residents. I know that whatever happens, it will be amazing and leave us, the readers, speechless beyond comprehension. Great chapter yet again! Go Mark!

Chapter 5 is posted!

Thanks Drew! I'm glad you liked it!

Mark, excellent chapter as always! I love that Ryan learned the casual way that he was Jeff's half-brother. I am glad that he is ok. I think I share a previous reviewer's feeling that JJ's actions are going to wind up costing him more than he realizes at this point. My thought is that Mary Ellen may not actually be behind this issue, but then again, she is Elizabeth's daughter... Looking forward to Zach's explanation for his actions to Will. I really hope they work out Once again, excellent as always! ~LS

Sorry! I've not been diligent in keeping this updated! Chapter 3 has been posted for a little while now. Chapter 4 has been posted since yesterday! Please feel free to check them both out!

Great chapter Mark, as usual. I do find it sort of ironic (or perhaps just a mere coincidence) that at the same time Will is about to go to the Chicago bar to potentially lay people off that Carullo has also lost his job. My imagination is highly active, so it may just be that . I am interested to see what more could potentially happen between JJ and John. I feel like they will definitely become friends, but hey, it isn't GA without a little physical action, even if JJ and Carullo are totally different types all together. The view of Will being plowed by Carullo should piqued JJ's interest in him enough for JJ to "take the plunge" as it were. My curiosity is certainly hightened. Excellent Chapter as always Mark!

I've just found your story and I completely transfixed in it now. Love it! I am so looking forward to what is in store for Michael and Kendall! Great start to a story!

Once again, to echo Headstall, thank you so much for starting this post. One thing that I've noticed, at least for me, is that I need to be motivated to write about something. My current story and a short story I have on here were strongly motivated by real life experiences that affected me deeply. For me, I think, as long as I can remember exactly why I started writing a story in the first place (i.e. what personal experience did I go through that affect me so deeply), I am able to continue writing the story without too much issue. As for keeping the quality of my writing consistent, I rely on a second pair of eyes (sometimes more) who can really pay close attention to detail of my writing to tell me if I'm meeting my own personal expectation of my writing (as well as to keep me from being overly critical of myself!). I definitely agree with the idea of taking a break from one story to write something else as a way to shift gears from your main project. I find that focusing too much on one thing over an extended period of time causes me to get lazy or rushed with my writing. So yes, I definitely have been where you are, Warrior, so many times, with my writing (both stories and music as well). So I'd definitely see if Adam's advice can help you out. It never hurts to try! Best of luck to you, Warrior!

Chapter 2 is now posted!

Hey everyone, I have began a new story entitled After Life. I am immensely proud of it and feel that it is my best work, yet. Please feel free to check it out! [sharedmedia=stories:stories:4888]

Glad you liked it! Thanks for reading

yes... the classical chase the one you love through a crowd or crowds - never gets old.

It was wet, windy, and cold. The rain fell from the sky in buckets as Liam stood on the open platform, the warm tears falling down the sides of his face from his eyes. He'd left a simple note in Greg's room as he left this morning. I've left and gone into the city. I cannot be here while you hate me. I'm sorry. I may go back to America anyways. Please forgive me. L. Liam continuously went over the events of the previous night. The more and more he thought of it, the more he hated himself. H

Liam is running through the London crowd from the man who hates him, but also the man he loves.

Houses and Trees By Liukas Soli My love for you, is like the rays of the sun. Have you ever seen anything so beautifully done? How the light simply slithers through the houses and trees, Something this beautiful right in front of you, do you see? Today there are some clouds, grey and bold. My love for you still young, never to grow old. But you're drifting away, even I can can see it. But I create my own sunshine, refusing to believe it. As fierce as a storm, my boat begins to si

Summer Rains Somewhere out there, a once happy, now lonely boy, Heads home in defeat, now that the truth has won. Admittance of love, and anything but joy, he feels forever undone. The rain begins to fall, and he is still hoping yet, That on his doorstep he'll see, That one face with brown eyes, anything but wet. The summer rain falls, his gift doesn't appear, He waits and waits, but to no avail, He does nothing but sheds his tear. Later on that night, as he makes to sleep, A

It has been ages since I've ever done any serious writing for GA. I feel bad - because for whatever reasons that could exist... I simply got bored... bored of the material I was writing. I have, however, began a new project that I think is a compelling story and will probably eventually turn out to be one of my better works. I guess it helps if the story had huge personal significance. We write for so many reasons. For this project - my reason is closure... on two fronts. If, when this project starts being posted and you follow it, refer back to this post - that will be a hint as to the events in the story. Key phrase: closure on two fronts. For those of you familiar with In Anticipation - I'm sorry to say that it will be scraped. I read and re-read it yesterday. I have forgotten what I was doing with it. So in the rubbish bin it goes. As for How Nathan Saved the World - I intend to eventually start work on it again. I re-read it and got shivers over it's potential that I saw. I hope it's a good thing when a writer sees the potential in something they've written? Enough about writing for now - how about an update on plain old me, eh? I just celebrated my 23rd birthday on November 6th. My birthday was a quiet yet special one just the same. My friend Tom, in the UK (who I have the unfortunate yet fortunate crush on) decided that he'd waste some money on getting me a little present. When he informed me that he was gonna do it - I made it clear that I didn't want to. Naturally he said ok fine and did it anyway... I love him even more for it I returned the favor and got him a couple of presents for Christmas/birthday since they are right next to each other. I hope he'll like them. They have to do with his favorite soccer team - Everton Football Club. One of them, I'm sure, will garner a slight chuckle. Anyways - that is enough for now. I need to enjoy what little time I have left before I head off to work! ' Later Kids! Liukas

Hello to you all! I hope all of you are having a good start to 2010. I know I am, as someone special has entered my life... you may possibly know him.... but I'm not gonna tell - since neither of us are ready yet! Now onto the seriousness. Has any of you who has written a story ever have to back track and add a whole new chapter after you've already pushed ahead with a chapter and finished it in order to better explain events in the new chapter? To clarify - my current chapter that is done is ready to be posted. However, due to the events taking place in the chapter, my editor/beta reader and I have decided that I need to do a chapter that explains how this current chapter came to take place. Does that make sense? I'm just curious as to if any of you other authors out there have ever had that happen and how you try to avoid that (if you can). That's all for now! Beginning on new project. I need to rest In Anticipation for a while. But rest assured it'll be completed before long!

by the Carpenters I'll Be Home for Christmas These two get me almost each time I hear them. The holidays are the emotional time of year for me.

I joined GA a few days ago now. And I feel like I've accomplished so much already. I connected with a couple of my favorite authors, began a story with the first chapter already posted to eFiction, and have already seen two good reviews on it so far. But now, work continues. I am beginning Chapter 2 of In Anticipation. I'm not too sure how it will go - I do not want to rush into things with this story. I feel like I rushed through Chapter 1 already. Hopefully Chapter 2 will appear, at least in my eyes, a bit smoother. We shall see... Anyways, onto Word! Liukas Soli

You and I have already spoken (can you speak by typing? hmm ) but I thought I'd leave it here also. Excellent stuff from what I've seen - which so far is just Bloodlines. I do have a question though - one that I like to ask authors that I have met/spoken to: Which character of yours do you think you are most alike and why? Thanks MA!!

Hey all! I'm new also! In the middle of writing now as we speak. My first every story is gonna be called "In Anticipation." I'm really new to writing stories in general so I hope I'll eventually make some good progress. Anyways looks like a excellent community going on here so can't wait to meet some new peeps and make new friends Liukas Soli aka Danny
