  1. My favourite gay movie is My Own Private Idaho starring River Phoenix and Keanu Reeves. It was directed by Gus van Sant. I used to love River Phoenix. I thought he was sensitive and beautiful. When the movie was on I went to see it seven times. The last time I sat in theater alone.
  2. I like it as the beginning to a story. It would certainly make me want to read on and see what happens. I liked the imagery of the giant towers and the running into the forest. The only suggestion I would have (apart from the spell check) is to be less specific about the door key. Instead of saying "Naia-Rae reached into her pocket to find her front door key still in there" you could just say "Naia-Rae reached into her pocket to find her key."
  3. I have also read St. Nacho's by Z. A. Maxfield. It's the only story I can think of with a deaf gay character in it, and I really enjoyed the beginning, though I think they got into the sex too quickly. It's available on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/St-Nachos-ebook/dp/B003FMV3YW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&m=A24IB90LPZJ0BS&s=digital-text&qid=1300225600&sr=1-1
  4. My favorite band is Portishead. My favorite song "Only You." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6eewqgGs_Q
  5. One of the best things about re-reading my work is being stirred by the emotions. I do laugh and sometimes cry, though more often I find myself annoyed by mistakes I have made -- bad phrasing or stupid errors.
  6. My advice would be to make sure you know each other well first, before doing anything. In my experience, if a person doesn't know you well, and you put your feelings into words, it tends to scare them off. If you have a friendship to begin with, then you can work from there.
  7. It sounds interesting. I'll look out for it.
  8. From what I know, my ancestors are all from Britain - Dorset and Birmingham and Wales. My brother's trying to trace the family at the moment, through ancestry.com.
  9. Hi, I'm a writer. I've been writing for about twenty years, but have only recently started writing gay stories - and I've been gay, well, forever. I suppose I never had the guts to write gay stories before. Now, well, I figure I've got something to say. It feels that way. Anyway, hi to everyone. I posted a story in efiction, but it hasn't been validated yet.
