Hi Jwolf, I came across your story after a long break from gayauthors and I wanted to let you know how much I have enjoyed reading it these last few weeks. The setting is really interesting. There is no frat culture where I come from so I find this background engaging if a little crazy - I mean I drank and smoked plenty at law school but these guys are friggen nuts! How do they pass? I love learning all these strange concepts like rushing and pregaming and tailgaiting and i still am not even sure what beer pong is - I try to picture the table and the cups and the ball ... but how is this a gam

Sheez where does the time go .... I've been pretty out of the writing loop too long ....
-
Nah you didnt come off as rude man! I am just overly sensitive maybe you related to blake in a way you didn't like they say we dislike in other people what we see reflected about ourselves ... or something like that. Definitely more drama to come hey ... the storm is brewing. Thanks for reviewing again.
-
I would definitely recommend it! Words don't do this country justice

Hey there Damon, thanks for reviewing. I'm always glad to hear from fanatic readers hehe ... yeah finally get somewhere in this relationship hey? As for the next chapter, I have to confess I havent been very productive lately had a lot of real life problems getting in the way, but im still progressing. Anyway, thanks for reviewing!

Chapter 18: Whispers in the Dark
Acedias commented on Acedias's story chapter in Chapter 18: Whispers in the Dark
Hmmm that's a rather thought provoking review, thank you At first I was thinking to myself: how can this guy not like my central character! But actually you are right in your assessment of him as a character and I guess that's more important you just don't like those types of guys I guess, which is cool. In his defence I'd point out that most of what you read is what he thinks ... hes never really been anything but nice to people (leaving aside a drunken rampage at poor Derrick). Then again, maybe just cause he thinks it is no excuse? In my opinion its okay to think stuff so long as you dont -
Hmmm ... havent updated in a while so thought I better say hello. I havent been very productive lately but still plodding along with this story!

Acedias, you are killing me, KILLING me!! I am starting to experience withdrawal symptoms from a lack of Blake and Haze in my life. You know, here in the states next week is Thanksgiving when we celebrate what we are grateful for in life. Well, I am definitely grateful for your talents as a writter and your wonderful story "A New Life", however I know that a new chapter would only enhance these feelings, so please, PRETTY PLEASE, on my knees I beg and implore for MORE!!

A movie huh? That would be cool. Then I could quit my day job ....

Hello there ... was wondering when you'd get round to reading this chapter! I am glad you liked it It was a bit light and fluffy I thought, maybe thats the way you like if you think its the best chapter I will get to that storm eventually ...
-
Hey didn't see your review there buddy ... site's changed and I don't seem to get the pop-ups anymore. Anywayz, thanks for writing me! I know I don't update that quickly but it takes ages to write something and only an hour or so to read remember Glad you can relate to my characters and you're enjoying the story. More soon ...
-
I posted a few pics of some of my new characters Pokey and Jonah on my thread: http://www.gayauthors.org/forums/topic/30821-a-new-life/ ... yeah I am not creative enough to have made them up LOL
-
Man I gotta appoint you to like my marketing manager or something, your reviews make me blush and I have to turn away from the screen and read them in bits between a gap in my fingers LOL ... I think you overestimate my genius but hey, I'm not gonna argue too hard Would it disappoint you to know I was just kinda looking at my aquarium and decided to incorporate it into my story? I mean I love your take on what's going on in Haze's head and all the symbolism, but actually I have a fish called Jonah and I just think its cool that I got him to host with an anemone and thats kinda why I wrote it
-
I never saw that movie, but that quote fits right in with where I think I am going with this ... Thanks for reviewing!
-
Favourite huh? cool there are a lotta stories here so thats a big call! The scenery exists if you ever come to OZ (west coast)... I was holidaying there about November last year and it inspired me to start writing. The characters arent real obviously. Thanks for the encouragement. And your keen fish spottin skills.
-
Awesome. Thanks for reading it and especially for lettin me know
-
Wow I got a full range outta ya then huh? Its always good for an author to get an emotional reaction from the reader so I take that as a huge compliment I posted some pics on my thread of the real Pokey if you wanna see him btw. Thanks for reviewing!
-
Ha! OMG well done! Can't believe you figured that out from my pretty basic description, notwithstanding it is a distinctive fish but still. I posted some Photos of the real Pokey and the real Jonah on my thread: (http://www.gayauthors.org/forums/topic/30821-a-new-life/page__st__50) So can you guess what Jonah is then smarty pants?
-
And here is the actual Jonah (I know you'er thinking, does this guy make up anything that isn't already going on in his living room?) He lives in this anemone and another one I got him when he started getting too big for this one. He's not a true clown, but same family as the legendary Nemo, the most famous fish in the world who has done more to educate people about my hobbies than all the world's marine biology departments combined
-
Cause a few people have asked ... attached is a photo of the real Pokey (yeah I didn't just invent him, I'm not that creative!) He is slow and stupid (or tame and clever) and the other fish eat his food so I have to feed him from a syringe (mushed up brine shrimp) This is actually Pokey the second. The original Pokey died tragically by leaping out of the aquarium when I was at work He's a long horn cow fish as one clever reviewer noted!

Its my moods they change frequently and I disguise as plot development! Glad I keep your attention though. Thanks for the review!

"And the calm before the storm - it´s both literally and figuratively speaking, yes?" Yes exactly! True I didn't think about it until reading your review, but now I think about it, yes, that is exactly what I meant. Hot, calm weather for a hot, calm date and the obvious gathering storm for both the boys and the weather itself. Brilliant. This is why I love feedback ... I get to feel cleverer than I really am I dunno about everyone else, but I definitely do that with my phone (it wasn't imagination ... just normal for me LOL) And yeah the mum is turning out to be pretty twisted. Although mayb

Oh come on that was never a cliff hanger! That's just ... um ... uncompleted plot. Or something. You can't cry 'cliff hanger' (in capital letters) every time I don't get around to explaining something. I think I have been holding off cliff hangers. Maybe I should give you a REAL cliff hanger next chapter. In case you forget how they go ... Thanks for reviewing though of course!
-
Ah-ha! You're spot on Now the boys are gettin' on the conflict (all plot has to have conflict after all) has to come from outside their budding relationship. Will it be the mum? The girl friend? The dive shop people who don't know about Haze ... or the storm. Hmmm ... Or maybe something new. That'll be a surprise.
-
Thanks Nephylim ... I think it was cause I had such a hectic crazy month myself ... every time I sat down to this I was in a different mood, sometimes action, sometimes adventure, lots of time imagining the beach instead of this freezing Sydney winter and of course all the romance I'm not getting Kinda came out in the all over the place mood. Oh well. Glad you liked!
-
Nephylim! Wondered where you'd gone and here's two reviews at once (and 15 mins apart you don't take long to read 14,000 words do ya? ) I dunno about MORE screwed up but I get your point ... and though it may seem a tad out of character for Blake, I like to think he's personal experience was wot enabled him to get what was going on and act on it ... anyway that was my thinking.
