Being allowed to live in this great country for much longer than I ever expected, I woke up this morning to my local news station reporting on what the entire world now is aware of. Orlando, Florida, where dreams come true if you just dream hard enough. Watching the local television station throughout the day I am so freaking proud of the Orlando LBGTQ community! They have been on the air all day telling the entire world that you can hurt us but we will win because our program is LOVE. The outpouring of love here is simply incomprehensible! From everywhere! I've never been prouder of my country till now! And that definitely includes the GA community.

Everybody wins! This is so cute.

Oh Nephy! It's been so long now! Just as soon as I read this, I was back in time with you and GA. I love this story because it removes us so far from your normal darkness. I'm going to dig deep into what I have missed about your writings and your stories. And although it caused me much trauma, I'm going to reread "Silver". Hugs to you and the "old" crew.

I'm wondering something here, Nephy. With all of the physical abuse that Sar and Glory are inflicting upon each other-why am I in tears? I'm crying because I feel a tremdous amount of attraction between these two-and Glory doesn't seem to see it yet-YET! More over Gods! What a super chapter, Nephy!

Well now! Aren't we the perfect tease? I suppose that's better than rushing through the story and leaving out most everything of real importance-so you are forgiven. Thanks, Nephy.

No one should ever doubt how much I needed this site when I found it through IOMFATS-then through Comicallity's "Shack Out Back". A life awakening discovery. And then we have Ricky. I don't know of anyone else who has put as much effort into making all of us aware of the needs of that fragile section of our society who are so often tossed aside, as if they are dispensible trinkets. It seems that every day there is another example in the news about someone who most of us would be happy to mentor-ah-but now it's too late. We just didn't 'see' the need in time. I have been guilty of this myself. This quote from one of Elsa Morante's stories really sums up my feelings: "...I want to save you from the havoc that steals you and take you back to sleep in your tiny bed." Who here will say that a troubled teenager at times doesn't need that "tiny bed"? Love you, Ricky.

Thank you, Graeme.

"Now that I know what it is like to live with men I would prefer to live with wolves". God I love that! An absolutely PERFECT chapter, Nephy! hugs hugs hugs

In the begining I was thinking that perhaps Fougue was going to be a competitor of Rovers'-now I'm not so sure that either one of them is in the running for the trophy that will become *SAR'S*. Maybe. From my notes I see "WOO HOO! CAT FIGHT!" Nephy I loved how you set up the emotions going on in Glory's mind prior to his leaping up for his escape-however short-lived it was. Then I began to feel sorry for the poor thing. It seems that since the first chapter Glory has had nothing but pain and verbal abuse raining down on him. heh heh This is extremely intriguing, and I can't WAIT for Sar to find out what has been going on, as this will tell us what the REAL story is about! I want to say more but this is already a chapter in itself. I'm lovin' it, Nephy!

Thanks for this one, Andy. It actually does help explain the 'Will into Gar' thing. At the end I thought that Gar was going to go 'soft'-ah, not this particular night. Good job, you! Thanks.

purr, little kitty. purr purr purr Jeeez! Talk about being manipulative... Looks like Rover better watch out also-no? Valentine doesn't appear at this point to be too threatening to Glory or anyone/thing else. He seems to be more of a blowhard. Thanks, Nephy.

Happy birthday, James. I still think of you as my "political sunshine".

Thank you, Nephy. Hugs!

What a lovely funeral, Nephy. I had no clue as to where you were going to lead their relationship but I see I needn't have worried. Quite frankly I had all but given up on River-he just didn't seem to WANT to make things work out. You must remember that you leave us only one chapter in which to do something nice for our three remaining dangling part...well, kids; Ariel, Benjamin Skye and Jake. Thanks, Nephy!

This chapter goes into my 'book' as one of the best all-around things that you have written, Nephy! It comes near the end of the story and I think your timing is absolutely perfect. What it tells me is that though Silver has a very long road ahead of him, that road is ever so much shorter because of how strong a person he truly is. I am positive that very few could have overcome (assuming he makes a full recovery) the horrors that he has witnessed on himself and others. Just thinking along those lines makes me both sad AND happy-happy of course for how far he has come. What a 'beauty' you are, Nephy! Thank you.

What can I say, Nephy? Each chapter draws me deeper into this tale. It IS a 'tale', is it not? I found myself imagining during this chapter that you were somehow actually involved personally with one or more of these characters? I've been around worse company myself! Thanks, Nephy.

You've hit on a way to use a story line in such a fabulous manner! I've rushed into this so fast that I have questions: Oh wait! (in progress). There's one answer! Where is this going? Oh wait! I have to wait? I'm thinkin' we're in for a lesson in/on humanities, no? Love it!!!! Thanks, Andy.

You are something else, Andy! I just wandered in for a nightcap and found this-and now I have to read the next chapter-and then I just KNOW I'll be hooked AGAIN! You!

OH MY GOD, YOU!! At some point in the past you HAD to be a cat! I started to make a few notes to use to respond to this chapter, and I realized that I would have to copy/paste the entire chapter! You crazy thing!! 'more--over there'. Hugs!!

What a wonderful and eye-opening chapter this is, Nephy. River is in the midst of a cram course on feelings, it seems, and he keeps fumbling his words and mixing up his head right and left. Poor thing is SO unsure of himself at this point. You have written Silver into a position where he is capable of taking complete control at some point in the near future, and that is not necessarily an impossible situation, considering how far he has come in the last few chapters. It's going fantastic at the moment (if one discounts the 'death-drums' in the background. Thanks, Nephy!

So sad! I sincerely hope that this is a work of fiction, Nephy. You've given us an awful lot to think about in a very few words. Hugs!

This chapter really helped me with the first one. I read them together this time and things were easier to understand. I think I'm already begining to see some of the humor you warned us of. (Yeah, I know, it can't be ALL fun and games, can it?) p Thanks, Nephy. I just know I'm going to like this!

Predictable? PREDICTABLE?? :lmao: You are anything BUT that!! I'm so sorry about your pain, Nephy. Let's look at the larger picture, k?

I'm feeling so sad right now. I really like the advice that Cia gave you-rely on your family. Even though they may need you for financial support, you guys need each other as a family for hugs and leaning-posts. I really wish that I could be there for you right now. Nephy. You are the 'POST'! You have been that for all of your family's years! At some point perhaps, Ef may not be able to be in the 'latest' togs. Awww hell, Nephy! I know of no one with a more indomitable spirit than you have shown us here on GA. Whatever it takes to survive-you have it. Jeeze!! I'm quite lost here. But I can still find a few of these for you.... :hug: Huggs X.
