    Ah... I see. Well the title didn't make sense to me at first, but I rationalised to work by interpretating it as follows: Admist the lurking chaos beneath the surface of societal order, he hunts down lost souls, devours their demons, and nurtures them with his academic mind. He is the Academic Predator. Okay, it's tacky... but wtv... I'm a dork.

    Ops, missed out that Zach is a football player. But it's just so cute to have a surfer pursuing an emo boy (instead of the other way around)! (Refer to the picture above). Besides Zach is young, it's quite plausible that he stops playing football and turn emo. LOL.

    Psh, he can be a one-of the kind emo surfer. Like Fergus(Xavier Samuel) from Newcastle. In the film, he dyed his hair black with purple highlights and painted nails.

    Can't wait! I am seriously new to this waiting for chapter scenario. I usually read through dozens of chapters a day... Sigh.. But I guess the wait would be worth it..

    I can so see Will as an emo-boy! They are not my favourite archetypes but I can just so see him as one despite him being the surfer though. He can be an emo-surfer... Or I guess I can see Zach as an emo boy too I guess..

    In most corporations, once a board is elected in the shareholders meeting, every board member's vote has equal weightage. Though of course, in reality, when a boardmember owns 51% of the shares, other boardmembers tend to acknowledge that. But since Jordan's father and two of his allies are on the board, they actually have quite a lot of power with 3 votes. And you can't exactly remove board members during BoD meetings - those happen in Shareholder Meetings. Which is why typically when there is an AoC (acquisition of control) or any major buyout, they'd have a shareholder meeting right away to re-elect the board. And of course, I'm in Ontario, Canada, so the information above is based on the provincial law. Might be different for different states.

    Well I nearly sent an hit squad after you when Jeff died... Especially when out of a sudden he just acted evil! (jk) *wink* But I'm still bitter about it until today! LOL Well you can make it such that robbie dies from an honorable death saving Brad. And Brad goes into deep depression, and finds solace in Matt. And Matt doesn't mind providing solace to the man he loevs even though he knows that he might just be loved because he reminds Brad of Robbie.. awww... LOL But of course, I assume you'd know that, for an author, having readers sending hit squads after you is amogst the biggest form of flattery - just means that your characters affect them so much to incite such strong emotions.

    I'd cry if Robbie dies. Though I think the author kind of likes the Hayes too since he always brings them back, so I'm fine as long as Hayes get their screen time. Wouldn't it be cool if Robbie dies honorably and Brad ends up with Matt?! I'd love that.

    Yeah, I know. I liked that a lot when I read it!

    I agree personally that there's nothing 'wrong' about the attraction in itself. I'll go one step further to say that I don't even think it's 'wrong' to act on that attraction. (my own opinion) Incest or not, these are two consenting adults here. A lot of the arguments that are used against incestuous relationships were used against homosexuality - it's sad. But I personally do not want Brad to do it just because of Robbie. But I'd of course like Robbie to get rid of his 'eww incest' mentality - I find that he is the character that suffers from a lot of conflict on what he enjoys and what society does not endorse - rape, fisting, etc. Incestuous relationships might be the next thing on his list! lol.

    I have a feeling that Darius will be another Ace. When 1968 ended, I thought we'd have a romantic escapade for Ace and Brad - I would have swoon like a girl; I really liked Andre. I'd probably sulk for an entire day if anyone other than Ace steals Brad away from Robbie. But of course, I can see how realistically, we need at least a few straight relationships in the saga, and seeing how this is GA, there is really not much demand for development on straight relationships, hence Ace was shelved as a side-character. And I have a feeling that Darius will be shelved too. It would be interesting to have another Andre case though where a straight guy falls in love with a man.

    I know right?! I have a love-hate relationship with CAP because of this. I concede that in the real world, that's how it usually is, obsessive and romantic love falls apart, and we are tempted for the new excitements. But that's the reason why I find consolation in fiction - it is where romantic love can flourish without being tainted by its transcient nature in reality. Though I don't mind all the fights and conflicts - they make the relationship stronger and more 'realistic - so as long as they get back together in the end!

    I'm definitely a Hayes fan! Jeff, Robbie, Matt & Aaron! I think it's because I fell in love with Jeff at first. I even skipped the last few chapters of 1968 because I just can't get myself to read the downfall of his character. But then Robbie came along and I fell in love with him then. I hope he survives with Brad till the end!
