And they ride a special bus to school?? Seriously, I agree with everyone here. There's nothing wrong with exploring all sides of an argument, regardless of how we might feel. A lot of homophobes really believe that it's impossible for homosexuality to be anything but a choice. Oddly enough, their reasoning is the same argument that we use to try to explain to them that it's not a choice....go figure

What?? Coffee at Eatzi's??

OMG!!!! How could you have missed it??

Hmmmm....well, he might be straight, but something tells me that at the very least, he's Bi leaning towards women...we'll see though :pickaxe: :pickaxe:

awww...I'm so glad that Jeremy's finally figured out what he likes and that he has Zach around to guide him through....another thing I'd like to mention about this story that I really like is the emphasis on SAFE sex. It's not very often someone see's that in a story. Way to go, Jack :king:

Thanks Razor

Holy Shiznit!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's all I'm gonna say. Happy Easter everyone

Thanks Michael, and thanks for being such a good friend and for promoting my work in your signature.

Thanks Jack, and I know I'll never forget how we first met too Your advice paid off, though, and I can only hope to be as good as you someday

Thanks Jan...I'd never have been able to do it without your help and support

I don't even know where to begin. I'm sitting here looking at the announcements, the new URL and the tag next to my name, and I still can't believe it's finally happened. I'm Hosted. When I first found GA, I remember bookmarking the page and thinking to myself that I'd be back. I didin't join the forum because I wasn't sure if I'd fit in or not, then I went away for like 4 months. When I came back, it was because of Dom Luka, the greatest net author of all time, in my opinion. I was reading The Log Way on Nifty, and I had to follow him here to be able to read the rest of the chapters. Then I found his discussion forum and signed up, but I still didn't think I'd ever try to write a story of my own. About three weeks later, when I was following The Ordinary Us as the chapters came out and discussing what I was reading, I decided to take a chance. The first time I saw the Author tag next to my name, I was excited. Sure, it wasn't the same as what Dom and dkstories or Comicality had, but I felt like I was important. I started posting a chapter a day for the longest time, and the feedback I got from people like Afriendlyface was all the encouragement I needed to keep writing. When I made it to the Shared Hosted Page, I was ecstatic, and swore to myself that I was going to elevate my writing and do whatever I had to do to get better. Then I set a goal for myself of being a published author by 2009, and I still have that goal. I know that in order to get there, I have to work my ass off everyday and keep trying to perfect my writing. I know I'm far from where I want to be, but I think that with enough dedication, I can do it. Anyway, enough of my senseless rambling. I have some people I need to thank, because without their support, this would have never happened:::: Myr: Thank you so much. Not just for giving me this chance, but for giving us this great site. There's no way to ever repay you, but I promise that I won't make you sorry that you Hosted me. Joe: I owe you a lot of thanks for the way you get my chapters up so quickly, and also for putting up with enough of my crap to last a lifetime Kitty: God, where do I even start. You've been such a good friend to me, and I honestly think that if it weren't for the Anthologies, I wouldn't have branched out and written as much or covered as many different themes as I have. Your honest feedback and just having you there as a friend has meant more to me than you'll ever know. Jan: The Great Talonrider!!! You take the messes I send you and clean them up, then you add polish and wax to them and send them back to me so I can send them in to Joe. In the meanwhile, I've learned so much from you, and I'll never be able to repay you. Rhawes16: Rob, you've been nothing but good to me. Even before I was Shared Hosted, you were a good friend who stuck by me, even when I didn't deserve it. What you did for my site was amazing, and you didn't have to do it. I miss having you around, but I'll never forget what you did for me. Kevin(AFF): You're one of the most beautiful people at GA, if not the most beautiful person. The feedback you gave me on What's The Difference made me want to keep going, even when I was sure no one was reading. Nevermind the fact that you've been nothing but a friend to me. I hope you're always here on GA, because it wouldn't be the same without you. Michael(Xiao_Chun) All I can do is give you a and say thank you for all of your support. It means so much to me, and I can't thank you enough Cjames: My favorite Goat!!! Don't worry, I have a place for you to hide from the members who want your leg on a platter....just get in this oven and let me close the door...never mind the heat Camy: The most talented musician on GA...and you're a pretty great writer too. You've been an inspiration to me, and also a great friend. All of my readers: I'd be nothing without your support. Please stick around, and I promise to make it worth your while. I have big plans for this year, and hopefully, people will like what I do. I have three big writing projects planned, and so far, I'm still on schedule with it. I'm just gonna keep my nose to the grindstone and during the summer, I'd like to write at least a chapter every two days, maybe more than that. The only info I want to give out about my upcoming project is that it's a tribute to a group of people I think are overlooked in Gay fiction, although I have to say that I've seen the topic covered in some stories. So anyway, I know I'm making a big deal out of this, but there's no way to describe how proud I feel to be on the same page as Dom Luka, dkstories, Jack Scribe, Luc, Viv and all of the other Authors on the Hosted page. It really is a dream come true for me, and I'll always appreciate the chance that Myr's given me to prove that I belong there.

Well you were supposed to, because it was a serious comment.

Yeah but you have to remember that Luke ended up with Grandma Alice, and she probably pressured Rory to add that stuff at the end. I get the feeling that Luke not only stole the car he was in on his birthday, but also, the Jeep he was driving in the story when Rory came to live with him. We have no evidence to suggest otherwise

Actually, what happened was that Luke lied to Rory about what happened. Do you remember when Jase told Rory that Luke spends all of his time and energy blaming Aaron for things he didn't do??
