Everything you ever wanted (or needed) to know about Harry Potter! (the video contains spoilers for the first 7 movies) http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=L3AdfZ346wg Harry Potter, murderer, age 11. <-- probably my favorite line. Plus, I love how they highlight things from the movie by going "We have no idea!" They do this so well.

No! you're not a modern democrat, are you?

Archer Hairline for me as well. It's something that always seems to crop up in these personality tests: outwardly composed with the occasional outburst of emotion. I've been called stuck-up before or cold/heartless because I don't wear my emotion on my face. Then again, I have a great poker face.

Kynan is the grandson to Karadur. He's he son of the demon queen. This means that Karadur must be ...? And, yes, Duncan is doomed. Eventually.

It's definitely been a tough balancing act between telling about each char's past and not bogging us down. Thanks for letting me know it worked here. Remember Kynan's mental abilities for manipulating emotions? It's a lot stronger now and he's going to have some growing pains in learning how to control it. Anything Alan feels (or the people around him), Kynan feels, and whatever Kynan feels, everyone else around him feels stronger -- it's worse for Alan because of their bond.

You'll have to tell me where/how I lost you so that I have a chance of remedying that.

The first part with Bryce should be clear enough. Delaur is very cute. The second half is Kynan trying to deal with his incubi self now that it is stronger. Remember, he's denied himself for years. Hopefully this will be made clearer in subsequent chapters.

Waylon's Crossing Chapter 27: Temptation "What's happening?" Kynan wailed, weeping into the back of the werewolf's neck. He hadn't done anything! He hadn't! He was trying! Trying so hard. "Kynan." Hunter Karadur knelt on the floor beside the bed, staring through the gap of wing over both bodies to where he could just catch the gleam of Kynan's eyes. "Kynan, you are Paired. You know what that is." Unwilling to relinquish his hold on Alan to shove or tug on his wing, Kynan shrugged

So glad to hear you were right! Too bad about the kidney stone, but I think we should have a celebratory party ... when you're feeling better, of course!

Chapter 8 The road rose and fell along the swells of the plains. At the tops of the hills, Mordred and Dmitri could see for miles in every direction. If he looked hard enough, Dmitri imagined he could see Whispering Cliffs; he stopped looking back. He let himself gaze south, towards the ocean, but never north. He wouldn’t let Mordred camp on the tops of the hills, either, for he felt too exposed and vulnerable. Mordred cursed and called him a fool, but Dmitri had insisted, grateful b

You may not be worried, but we'll keep our fingers crossed for you all the same! May the doctor's visit show us you'll be around GA for many more years to come!

Anyone else thinking it was "too easy?" I'm steeling myself for a vicious plot twist, like the mummy man not being Puck or the waste craft being captured. Lugh would be evil like that, I just know it! Of course, we'd love it, too. Hate it, but love it all the same.

Waylon's Crossing Chapter 26: Stupid Demons Bryce was half-way out of town, without any indication of returning, by the time Azil caught up. "Arawn," he called. "Arawn, wait!" The vampire just kept walking, not looking back. Azil gave his brother a pointed glance. Not yet having gotten the tirade owed for leaving Azil alone to go into the city, Timolin was not inclined to add to the list. He responded with a carefully sculpted blank look. Azil hissed, "Ass!" Demons were not built

Thanks!

Straight from the heart, is it? I was captivated from the start and I just love the creative zingers! Your descriptions of the new school and classmates were life-like and real, like I was there with Logan. What I have yet to understand is why he's at the fancy school now when his father could have easily afforded a fancier place or private school even in downtown Houston. It shall be interesting to see how Logan's history is revealed, not to mention how he gets back at his parking neighbor.

My patronus memory is probably a xmas gift I got. I was 15 and picked up a box from under the tree that was either going to be jewelry or a tie and I was dreading opening it. I got the top off and pushed aside the tissue paper .. and there was some kind of brochure inside. I recognized the brochure from earlier in the fall when my baseball coach passed them out. Inside were two tickets to a week in Florida at baseball camp, with my dad. I whirled around so fast it's a wonder I didn't get dizzy and all I can remember saying is "You mean it?" over and over again and my parents laughing and smiling. We weren't rich growing up and I knew when I'd asked my parents to go that they'd say no. I came to find out only this past year that my grandmother gave my dad the money. She never seemed to like me and I wish I'd known in time to thank her before she died. Those days with my dad in Florida were some of the best days of my life.

That is simply adorable, JC. DId you say you're writing a story about it?

Thank you! it was just a bit of fun, really.

Your Honor, may I present the evidence: sovereign-emperor-of-evil-cliffhangers-for-life

You are an evil, evil man. Why do I feel like we've gone back in time? I had so thought that Bobby was in the cell with Puck. Grr, you must delight in torturing me.

Rick's doubtless thinking about Ben's history with boyfriends/lovers. Haha, try and convince Ben that he's in over his head! Rick certainly has his work cut out from him, doesn't he? Glad you liked the chapter. It's nice to hear about all the structural things that went well. It's like hearing that bell/buzzer to signal a score!

It's okay; you're allowed to be cute every now and again. Now you can see why his friends object to what Ben does in his job. Still, many people who take courses on psychology do so to understand themselves, and, as they say, the closer you are to a problem, the more blind you get. If you look at it from Ben's viewpoint: he had one love in his life and assumed that was it, and yet is a hopeless romantic. With all the problems he's had, why wouldn't he be a good counselor? I'm not sure what you mean by the school thing ... Almost all schools have problems with bullying, just some are more overt with others. Ben grew up during the 80s and AIDS, if that helps understand the drama. Hopefully in some of the later chapters you'll understand some more why Ben has a hard time verbalizing his feelings. You're right in that it has a lot to do with Will. I think it's kind of funny how no one has remarked on the irony of his name. Maybe you'll be the first. Anyway, good friends are priceless and someone who truly believes in us are even more rare. I called dibs on Rick first!

I did play rugby - I know there's a lot of info there, but can you believe there's less than half what there used to be? Like Pickles said, it's easier to understand rugby when playing as compared to only watching. This chapter was to build up the cliffhanger at the end.

You only have to think back to the birthday party regarding Will/Rick - Rick is worried about that, too. Now I have to ask, will knowing about Ben help Rick avoid falling into the same trap, or push him into it? To answer your question: Will and Ben ended during the negotiations to sell the company. I believe this is one of the reasons why Shelly and Doug didn't intervene sooner; they had other things on their minds, but eventually Ben had to attend the meetings, too, and that jolted him into the spotlight. Otherwise, he might have sneaked away before they noticed. He's sneaky like that. I like the ending to this chapter, too, if only because it made me laugh when I was writing it.

I will say that I badly wanted to give these two a happy ending, but they wouldn't cooperate. A dialogue like what you're looking for requires some voluntary talk of emotions, which is not something most men do very easily. I like for my characters to be as real as I can make them, so I'm glad you were able to see them as I envisioned them.
