Yeah that isn't the Cooper who was dating Kyle - nope. But then the 'it's okay, it's not cheating cause she's a girl,' well that shows old habits die hard I still stand by Spencer isn't a bad guy - he and kyle sure, but as Cooper himself admitted, they weren't dating and really Kyle was/is a prick. So yeah, you're gonna have cooper and kyle back together aren't you

Kinda saw the Spence Kyle thing coming. Honestly, I think Spencer is a good guy - I mean he'd been trying to tell Cooper about it, he was clearly bothered by it, more than cooper did about Chase - though Kyle and Cooper had a history while Chase and Spencer did not. Hmmm, now to see what happens next

Holy crap that was about the most mature Cooper's been since - well forever. I'm sorry to see Kyle is out of the picture, but Cooper seems to be over him pretty well. Chase is an interesting character here isn't he? Why is it that Cooper doesn't like him more than as a piece of ass? But he wants the str8 boy he can't have. Oh yeah, that whole if they treat you like shit you want them more, got it.

Mark, I agree that was an interesting chapter and that it does set up some issues - unless I miss read the clues you are dropping - Calvert is either going to lose his Lt. post haste or he is going to be revealed as a bugger, dragging George down a notice with him. Of course there is the indomitable Caroline to deal with and she can always spin things that it was all one sided, that her husband, being the kind, but naive soul that he is, never saw anything other than friendship and that is why she removed Calvert from the picture because her husband was too much a friend to do it. One question - why would Jervis send Nelson to command two frigates? It's not as if Granger wasn't capable of leading this expedition. Especially if they are not taking Nelson's ship either. Clearly you have something in mind, because as you point out - Nelson played a pivotal role in the Battle of St. Vincent. So this won't be a long trip for sure.

What are the side affects of being high on life?

Granted I'm posting this to myself but still - for those who still like to see an announcement - :music: Purpose: Chapter 10 :music: Is posted.

Of course there is 'legitimate issue', George has two sons and a daughter already with his wife.

Yeah I didn't want to do an angry sex scene as their last. Besides, doesn't everyone always say make up sex is the best? Really couldn't say from experience so I made it up as I went. -- -- Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for telling me and for your comments along the way.

Never really got into 'Friends' but the idea is so true. Time apart is just code for I'm trying to break up and not make a scene. Imagine how folks felt when I was posting chapter by chapter. You had to wait a week for the ending. THAT was mean

To be honest, I think I cried writing that. It wasn't meant to be sweet, break ups never are. I guess I did an okay job of conveying how bad Jason felt. Sorry..

Peter is not the person Jason first met. As you say, Jason needs to watch out. It wouldn't be hard for him to really hurt Jason if he snapped.

Yeah I know, it was hard to write. I think everyone BUT Peter knows he needs help. But as long as Jason makes allowances for his behavior, why should he?

yeah well don't you think it'd be boring if they never had a problem? But yeah, Peter wasn't the best BF in the world right then was he? As for what happened - we'll you need to keep reading LOL.

You would want the ONE story I have no idea how to write - I don't 'see' that yet - hmm you'll need to spot me an idea or two for that one

HAPPY BIRTHDAY OWL!!!! 23? What's that in bird years?? Hope you, Max, Josh, Billy, David, Zeek and Jake have a wonderful Indiana Summer kinda day!!! Hopefully it's not as god awful hot as it is here -

David Beckham? Okay sure My image was totally different, but that is because he - Jason - reminds me totally of a guy I played soccer with - god he was hot! - ooops was I supposed to mention that?? Yeah, Jason has a bit of growing up to do - and while in theory he would not worry about the money too much - there is always a fear of being cut off entirely.

So I figured I'd set up a topic where I can post updates on stuff and where folks can ask whatever they want - yeah you can ask even THAT type of question, I just don't promise to answer them. Okay so update: Working to finish Purpose working on Chapter 14 right now. Finished rough draft of Chapter 2 of the trial of Jordan Colmar. That would tie up the Second Shot story line of Peter's injury. Started a new Fantasy Story - it was going to be my entry for Legends, but it got too long too quick and hadn't gotten enough details out. Shelved that, though I add scenes here and there. Trying to sketch out Arch Angel and how that is going to go - very rough And finally - wrote an entry for the Legends anthology, though I am not sure I like it enough to post it. We'll see. Questions? Thoughts? I am sort of interested in doing short stories for a bit once Purpose is done, but before I tackle another lengthy story - what I was thinking is taking one of the existing stories - Second Shot, Purpose, Archangel, Not for Hire etc. and writing about a character and an event in their lives. So any suggestions - from someone other than Trevor - who I know wants something written about Jason or Peter - so I got that one already - please drop a note. Andy

Okay so posting here has been a bit sporadic, but that was to work on the anthology piece and a novel entry - I can't comment on that because I'd be disqualified, but I can say it was something I work on with my good friend Anyta - well actually SHE let me work on it with her, I just helped a little, but still it took some doing. So with that. I will post chapter 10 tomorrow for those who are interested. After that, I will try my very very best to keep to a weekly schedule. I mapped this out and it has about 30 chapters - and I've written a shade less than half the story. But the rest is planned out and ready to be put down. I kinda want to finish this so I can move on to a couple other things but I think I'll start a new thread for that. SO, if you read this and have comments, please let me know your thoughts, do you like where this is going? Hate it - um well I think if you hated it you wouldn't be reading this so that was a foolish thought. If you have ideas for something, let me know. I am planning to write a chapter - 14 - which includes our very own K.C. Grim - he of the winner of 1000 or bust - it was his post that I responded to for my 1000th post. For those who've read religiously, this is set in DC. If anyone of you know DC, or the area and want to suggest a location for a scene, I might be able to work that in and if I do, I work you into the plot if you like. Anyway, enough of that - this will go back to regular Thursday posting starting tomorrow. Andy

Agreed, I'd have left him to find his own way home too - I think Jason meant to, but didn't make it to the car before Peter caught up. Then again, if you blamed yourself for what happened, you might be a bit more forgiving - maybe?

Well I had to toss in a few bits of work, since this had an element of my work. Glad you didn't skip it.

You may have liked it but Jason wasn't sure he was so thrilled. As for the nightmares, don't think even Peter will recover from what happened all that soon.

Exactly it's what we do and those on the receiving end so often don't want to be a burden - but we'll see how things work out

Well that does answer a few questions - And my like of Rick just gets more and more. Ben is growing on me too - but he still needs to be nicer to Rick, but then he does seem to be warming up. I just wonder if now that Rick was his Superman, Ben will stick around not because he wants to but because he really like Rick? Still nice to see Ben finally being a tad nicer.

Interesting dynamic between the two - still confuses me mightily but I suppose Ben does have his good points. Doug - over protective much? "You don't seem like a total scumbag?" ya gotta wonder if Ben would appreciate have his 'date' cross examined like that. I suppose at some point I'll figure out what's up with Ben - and why he acts the way he does with Rick.

Okay they confuzzle me - they being Rick and Ben. There is not an easy to understand relatiohship - I don't see why Rick puts up with Ben and I don't see why Ben treats him like shit yet keeps coming back. Maybe the next chapters will do some 'splainin cause I don't get it right now. That said I do like Rick - though I think physically I'd be more attracted to Ben - but no one cares about that now do they
