Those Townson brothers are pretty immature. I'm glad Jackson had Draedon (cool name, btw) and Charlie to sort of bond with. It's really tough being the new guy, especially the new guy who has lots to learn. As Lux said, hopefully Charlie will be a good role model for Jackson. No one batted an eye when he kissed his b/f goodbye -- it should be like that everywhere. Great chapter, Krista!

Ivor! Loved this prompt story! I'm with LadyDe though; more chapters would be great! We need to see Brandon tell that idiot off and find someone who doesn't want to dress him to look like his girlfriend! Jeez, I still need to catch up with your striped shirt story!

Oh no, Skinny -- you're not killing off David or Twoey or Liz, are you???? Why is Tommy crying????? Now I understand about the relationships. I can be dense sometimes. lol Barbie is Donnie's sister, and of course she's Barbara who Tommy has been seeing since middle school. Now I get it! lol Funny, I passed by the two Aetna buildings off 84 in Hartford on Friday (2ce) and Monday (2ce) on my way up and back from UMASS. It's awesome that Carl will be so close to Chuck when Chuck goes to Yale. Ok, now you need to update this pronto, Skinny!!! My anxiety is going to be through the roof thinking the worst.

I was so psyched when I read 'David's gang'...I was thinking, hmm, who IS this? Don...OMG, it's Chuck and he's still with Donnie!! Tommy I didn't get at all until I read the reviews! Wait, no now I'm confused. Tommy is going with Sarah, the birthday girl. But I thought Donnie was convincing Chuck that Tommy liked him, but he was just a jock and that's what jocks do - bust people's balls (who they like). But Tommy and Donnie aren't brothers, so now I'm confused. lol I'm thrilled Chuck is connecting with Carl. Carl seems like a wonderful big brother. Why on earth didn't David and Tommy (and Liz's) father come back? Wait! Did Liz come back? Did she ever get married? Did Aunt Sarah come back?

Oh man, they are getting all their wires crossed. lol Marc is blaming himself, and Toni's blaming himself. Can't wait to see what happens next!

Ooohhh, I'm so glad Toni's going to go to the party! Even if it's just to show up Warren. lol I'm lovin' this story, Lilly!

So, now Ted is the predator. What goes around comes around, right? Karma's a bitch and all that. I hope to God Ted didn't kill the roommate! This is such an intriguing story, Parker! Can't wait for chapter three!

Yay! They're moving in together! That's a big step. This was such a happy chapter. Hopefully neither of them will do anything to mess this up.

Now that Brett's feeling a tiny bit better, Billy's getting sick. It was horrible that Brett's mom couldn't spare to take off work for a few days to take care of her son? He was really sick -- throwing up for that many days isn't good. He was dehydrated and not eating, and she wasn't taking care of him at all. She didn't even bring him to the doctor! She's lucky all he had was the flu. I'm patiently (well, not so patiently!) waiting for the next book. Great chapter, Jeff!

A lot of things happened in this chapter. Billy learned more about his dad; it's great that his dad confessed to getting into trouble when he was younger and having to spend some time in the slammer. They had a very good father-son conversation. I'm also glad Dustin called to apologize. I feel badly for him because it's like Billy just threw him to the side when Brett came into the picture. I can understand Dustin's jealousy. And now poor Brett is sick. Just in time for the Christmas party.

Zac was great with Billy and Lonnie. But...it's just another example of how so many young people (and older people also) are so misinformed and ignorant on the subject of gay sex and STDs (or are they called STIs now?) I hope Marty can help Zac the same way Zac helped his brother and Lonnie. But wow, Marty's good! He's got great gaydar! lol Kenny's an ass. What the hell is his problem? He's acting like Rachel is his sister or something! Some best friend.

Ron, I'm so excited for you! Congratulations! I've loved your stories from The Mustard Jar, and I'm so happy to see you're posting them here. Congrats again, Ron!

Funny, Parker spelled Alise's name wrong and wrote my birth name instead. It's weird seeing it in print. Of COURSE Rachel is going to tell Alise what happened! They're best friends! That's what best friends do. Of course Alise should have kept her mouth shut and not told her obnoxious b/f about it. I did read the rest of the chapters late last night, but I'm only leaving one review, so forgive me if I mention something that was in the previous chapters. I'm glad Zac realizes his brother is gay, and he knows there's nothing wrong with it. I think Billy (and maybe Lonnie) will be a good sounding board for him if and when he decides he needs to talk to somebody. I also like Valerie. I think she'll be a great sounding board for Zach also. Great chapters, Ron. But damn, now I have to wait till next week to read the next chapter! lol

Although I love all your stories, Ron (there are still a few on your site I haven't read yet), this is one of my favorites. This and the 'Down a Darkened Path' story (not quite sure that's the name of it). Poor Zac -- he has no idea what hit him when he was watching Adrian. Now that he opened up the box, what will happen next? lol

That was really shitty what Corey did -- betraying Shane like that. Unfortunately Shane's been betrayed by a few people in his life. Sorry, Jason. I'm glad though that Shane's forgiven Jason, and hopefully he can start to heal. They just have to figure out who's after Shane. And who started the fire that killed Corey and that other guy. Great chapter, Mitchelll!

See, Toph totally overthought his interview and thought he flubbed it. And he didn't! And he got a free ride! Now hopefully Gary or Moms or England had nothing to do with that... Loved the Twoey reference! One hundred and twenty-two chapters! Your readers will get bored (no f'n way!). I'm writing this for me. Awesome, Skinny! Btw: I STILL miss reading Twoey!!! One of the best stories on here. Also loved the mini vacation the took in Maine. I felt like I was there. There's nothing cooler than taking a boat, docking it, and climbing up into the restaurant. Way cool.

Lilly! I absolutely LOVE this story!! I was confused toward the end when Toni raised his eyebrow to Leo (I kept thinking, who the hell is Leo? lol), but other than that, I LOVED it! It's so nice to read a story where everyone knows the jock and captain of many of the sports teams is gay, and all his friends support him. It's so refreshing. I also liked the flashback with Marc and Warren. Great start, Lilly! I can't wait for chapter two.

Parker!!! I was so excited to see a new story from you!!! And Val didn't even have to tell me about it this time! So, I'm REALLY SLOW on the uptake, and when I read the first two reviews I kept thinking, wait, what does the remote have to do with anything? lol So I thought the predator accidentally gave HIMSELF the drugged drink! What an idiot I am! lol So Ted is onto this guy. He has awesome instincts; this guy is dangerous. Can't wait for the second chapter!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAMES!!!!! In your neck of the woods, it's your b-day already, so I'm wishing you a happy and healthy (no more dislocated shoulders!!) birthday!!

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY HOUDINII!!!!! I hope you had a great day!

I'm thrilled Brett finally admitted his feelings for Billy. And vice-versa, but I can't help but really feel sorry for Dustin. Dustin has a shitty home life with his sperm donor beating him up and berating him all the time. They don't have much money...and here comes Brett, he has money, but he has no father in the picture. And Billy's caught right in the middle. And I have a feeling that Billy is going to be too wrapped up with Brett even more than before that he'll never see Dustin.

It's funny. A few years ago I read a story on another site about using a naked man as a 'table'. I think the story was called The Dinner Table or something like that. What will Corey think of next? How can he possibly top that? lol Liam and Alek have a tough road ahead. I think it's going to seem like they're taking one step forward but two steps back with the whole staying in the closet thing. Sooner or later Alek's homophobic father is going to catch on and then I think he'll have to make a choice -- that shop and his father's help or Liam. I'm looking forward to reading more about them.

Like some of your reviewers, I questioned the age thing too. However, I kept reading because I like the way you write. Just from your writing, I could feel the burgeoning feelings between Jesse and Marty, despite their young age. It was sweet how they acknowledge these feelings. I just hope they're not moving too fast.

Ouch! Poor Codey! That was like a slap in the face. Codey will probably be texted him about that later. Adam/Matt was probably glad Codey talked shit about the blogger -- that way he had an excuse not to like him, never mind love him. But of course, before you love anyone you have to love yourself. And I don't think Adam/Matt does love himself. This was another great chapter, Stannie! Keep 'em coming!

God, could Ally get even MORE annoying??? Didn't they break up? Why the hell is she clinging to Jackson and getting all in his face and everything? She's a pain in the ass. lol Jackson was disappointed Luke didn't go to the 'audition'. Luke was pretty smart with that. I'm sure he wanted to go too. That coach, Tony, is a real piece of work! He's so f'n nasty! Why does he have to be so nasty? I wouldn't even want to go to that school just because he's so mean! It's like Jackson's gonna get mentally beat up everyday. I hope at least he pushes himself to do his best.
