    Interesting tale you're weaving. I still find the whole 'perfect' thing odd, but whatever. Then again, the idea that in Derrick's mind he is perfect and being gay is being different and not being the norm, and if he thinks he sets the standard for normal, I can see why there is this whole 'perfect' theme running through this. The end was well done - Andrew - good name for someone so insight btw - gives Derrick a ton to chew on but the light's still not on I think. It won't sink in nor will he make the connection to what everyone else sees. Perhaps that's the problem, while he doesn't see what others see, other assume he does and his 'inability' to see it is taken as defensiveness to deflect people from thinking he's gay. Quite well done indeed.

    That was so corny It's interesting that Mr. Perfect doesn't understand perfectly what's happening. One wonders if Charlie will get tired of being part of Hero's crowd and branch off on his own at some point leaving Derrick to his own devises. Popular as he is, Derrick seems to spend his time with his best friend. Life would suck pretty mightily if he lost Big C. He just doesn't know it.
  3. Andrew Q Gordon
    Part of me thinks Big C has a major crush on Hero, the other part says he wants to let his best friend know he's gay but not trying to seduce him. I think it's more the later. But how do you build a best friendship on a lie? Kinda hard to think that after he tells Derrick, all will be good because Derrick expect him to be honest. Tough spot
  4. Andrew Q Gordon
    Interesting how you write Hero/Derrick. He's kinda a chump, but he really is Big C's hero. I'm not sure what you're going for totally here. I say that because for the most part it's a serious story, but the perfect this perfect that just doesn't lend itself to believability. No on))e, not even Derrick would think or talk like that, so in a sense it's some what farcical but for the most part not. It doesn't detract from the story, just makes me wonder.

    Thanks John, I didn't want to do the same as everyone else so i tried it from a different side. It was just me avoiding doing more work on Purpose

    Haha, curse you Dark, draggin me into this like that - you so need to give me chocolate to appease me now I can say with absolute certainty I can not do July fourth anywhere but DC - my parents have decided years ago that they come to DC for that holiday and spend it with me and mike. And when their granddaughter arrives, fuggedaboutit - there gonna be here for sure. SOOO First things first, if folks ARE interested in a meet up, let's start our own thread and stop using Dark's and the West Coast GAng Bangers After that I suppose we can find a day and location and a coordinator or three.

    Haha, I have no idea what to say other than I'm not the genie - so don't worry about it being granted, much less in a way you wouldn't like
  8. Andrew Q Gordon
    Well if I were really thinking about this more - and I am so not - but I would say Zach's used up his wishes and the Genie can't give him any more. So who knows beyond that
  9. Andrew Q Gordon
    that was the idea, be careful what you wish for it could turn out bad. But I wanted to portray this from the Genie's side to show how disillusioned he was with things.
  10. Andrew Q Gordon
    Thanks Oh, and what would be your one more wish??
  11. Andrew Q Gordon
    None taken - it's true. Part though not all by any means - of my issue is dyslexia - If I don't let things sit for a few days I see what I thought I wrote and I don't see tense very well - the rest is . . . IDK why I can't self edit better - but I definitely can't self correct as I write. And the premise of this is no editor, no beta, just write it and post it - with some self editing of course
  12. Andrew Q Gordon
    Well .. yeah guess it does suck to be the boy but I figured I wanted something different - so I did LOL
  13. Andrew Q Gordon
    NOOOOOOO!!! I do NOT need anything else to add to the list of things I need to work on later on. But yeah, an eye for an eye a wish for a wish??? Just think, you DIDN'T get to see this first. LOL
  14. Andrew Q Gordon
    Well thank you - and you of all folks know how much I need help with that for - oh I don't know - something
  15. Andrew Q Gordon
    Oh my I laughed at that and now i have to explain why LOL Thanks Connor.
  16. Andrew Q Gordon
    Oopps better run back and fix that - like I said this is me without make up err a beta and editor - terribly sloppy at self editing. Thanks for the assist
  17. Andrew Q Gordon
    I kind of thought the two had to go hand in hand, even if they weren't connected really, but I thought they worked as a pair. But I wrote the end first or at least 'saw' the end first and I worked around it. Thanks for the comments
  18. Andrew Q Gordon
    hehe, yeah I saw my granny in that one - she had this chair she LOVED to sit in ever night in her room - she was in an assisted living the last 8 years of her life, but that was her chair and whenever I was thoughtful enough to send her chocolate, she'd put them on the stand by her chair
  19. Andrew Q Gordon
    Yup that'd be cool if you got to spend a lifetime with a hottie in a bottle who could snap his fingers and make things happen.
  20. Andrew Q Gordon
    haha there are no more chapters, well at least not for the dreamin genie
  21. Andrew Q Gordon
    dude - ease up on the big words - I'm not that bright Thanks Dann - I'd be a terrible Genie if I had to give out wishes. I'd find some way to muck em up a bit unless they were good ones.
  22. Andrew Q Gordon
    Oh no, I'm saving my wishes for when I really get to make em. But they'd be boring - I have most of what I want and all of what I need already
  23. Andrew Q Gordon
    Thanks - I couldn't decide which one to go with the stupid or the good so I did both

    "Three wishes?" "Did I stutter?" Same stupid question. The look on his face, he thinks I'm just a smart ass. He lacks that unfocused delirium that comes from thinking he's struck it rich. "Anything I want?" Then again, what do I know. "No, Zach, not anything. I can give you things, not concepts. Oh yeah and don't try to be cute and ask for more wishes, that's been tried." "Wasn't even a thought." Even if that was true, it doesn't matter, he's gonna ask for the same stuff as ev
  25. Andrew Q Gordon
    "Three wishes?" The glee in his voice makes it hard not to roll my eyes. Another one of those. Why can't I find the right one? "Yes, Corey, three wishes. But, be careful what you ask for, you may regret the choice." He won't listen, he's just like the rest. "Is this a joke? I mean, are you really a genie?" "Yes, watch." He's not the one, why drag this out? First I disappear and his eyes go wide. Just to be sure I create smoke from nowhere and reappear. "Believe me now?" "Ho
