My beta hates me. My editor hates me. Will you hate me too? Chapter 7 is up!

They are powerful lines, I agree. Their love is very strong and they'll need to depend on it. I'm glad you are enjoying the story and I hope you enjoy the next chapter. Thank you so much for reviewing and letting me know what you think!

Thank you for reviewing! I'm glad you are enjoying the story and the characters. I want Tibial and Chad to be together with a happy ending too, but they will have a lot to face before they get there. I hope you enjoy the next chapter!

They are definitely taking chances, because the consequences if they are discovered are very severe. But their feelings are too strong to resist, so they are going to take the risk I'm glad you liked the way I wrote the chapter, it is one of my favorites. Thank you for reviewing and I hope you enjoy the next chapter.

Tibial groaned and wound his arms around Chad’s neck as Chad pounded into him, pressing him up against the wall with each thrust. Tibial moaned Chad’s name over and over in his ear, finally climaxing with a long drawn out cry, everything tightening and burning for a long shivering moment, then he fell limp against Chad’s body. Chad lowered him slowly to the ground, cradling Tibial gently in his lap. "You okay?" Chad asked, his voice torn between amusement and genuine concern. "Mmm. Yeah." Tib

The same people do a series called Kids React as well. Kids React was the original, and this is a spin off of that. Both are pretty awesome, in my opinion.

Blame GM for eliminating electric railways and streetcars in favor of the automobile.

Posted Ch 6. A lot of what was building up in the previous chapter comes to a head here. Let me know what you think!

Looking forward to the next chapter, but you take care of yourself first!

I noticed a member wrote in the program that they are having difficulty with writing description and that prompted a little thought of how I handle description, because I think detail and description is very important, it's what makes writing really come alive. I like to use description to help set a mood in the story. I try to visualize the scene and what is going on in it and then match the description to the feel of the scene. Is it a happy scene, with light, airy description? Is it a scary scene, with ominous, dark description? Is it a sexy scene with hot steamy description? The excerpt I saw read like this: It was a cold, damp, night with a chill in the air. It was so quiet out that as I walked, every leaf I stepped made a loud crunching sound, and every stick sounded like the pop of a gun as it snapped. Now just for this bit, I can imagine the scene is supposed to be a little eerie and ominous just from the elements that are already there. I would use that to provide supporting imagery. The startled jerk reflex of the gun popping snapping of branches is already an excellent addition. I would emphasize the night, since that helps provoke a very evocative scene. The night clung to me, cold and damp, leaving me covered in chills. The quiet amplified every sound, turning the dead leaves underneath my feet into crumbling bone and every broken stick a gun shot shattering the air. I like it, do you? The word clung can indicate feeling trapped or smothered and the crumbling bone description indicates death and decay. For example, here is a scene I wrote for one of the anthology stories. The sky above Toumas was a dull slate gray, with occasional swathes of clouds snatched away for early morning sunlight to bleed through. and later in the same scene… Satisfied that they would not break when he started to struggle, Toumas relaxed back, staring up at the diseased sky. The feel I wanted for the scene was tension and dread. My character was making a decision to end his life in a very horrible way and I really wanted to create a mood that would match that. I was thinking of the sky and I wanted to describe it in a way that would provide good imagery without going over the top. So I simply described a very odd sky I had seen one morning while driving to work and used specific word choices, like bleed and diseased in the description to kind of help set that mood. The only precaution is to be careful with how much description is used. The story that I used as an example was criticized for "overwriting" which I think was a result of too much over the top description I would say use it in moderation, mainly when a description of a person/place/object is important to a story or when you are trying to set a certain mood for a scene. All that is my opinion of course. Anyone want to add something or weigh in, feel free!

The emotions between Tibial and Chad are pretty intense and hard for them to control. It's how they choose to handle them that decides their future. But it's rough for both of them right now. Thanks for reviewing.

Thanks for the review! The kind of behavior that Tibial and Chad have engaged in is certainly punishable by death in some cases. And Terrassa definitely plays a role in the story and in the relationship between the two. I'm glad you are liking all the drama and hope you enjoy the next chapter

Thanks for the review. Glad you liked the coupling Tibial goes through a rough time in this story, but he's going to go after what he wants, as soon as he figures out what that is. Hope you enjoy the next chapter.

Tibial decided it would be best if he kept himself busy, not that it was hard. Mia had to go to the doctor a lot now that she was pregnant, for baby information and to make sure she was keeping herself healthy. Tibial also knew they would both be required to take the government sponsored parenting classes, but that would be later on. Now that the news was out, everyone Tibial ever knew was stopping by to offer congratulations. Lady Eva lightened his chore load so he could have more time to focus

Good luck! You can do it!

You should at least get a birthday spanking

Wow, this was amazing. Very powerful with a wonderful conclusion. I'm so glad he was able to close an old chapter of his life and start renew. Excellent.

I have some up already, but I'll try to post more later

Thanks Renee. I'll tell my sister to try some of these things in the morning.

I have no idea what she was thinking. I came home from work Friday evening, and found my sister and my cousin crouched on the kitchen floor, peering into a plastic tub and grinning like fools. They had gone out and confiscated three baby kittens that had been taking refuge in the bushes of our yard. My sister claims that they were abandoned, but I seriously doubt that, as they are not malnourished or seem like they haven't had adequate care from Mommy, but since they have been taken from their home, I am worried about returning them, since Mommy might think they have run away or been killed. These kittens are young. The shelter (who refused to take them) said they looked about 3-4 weeks old. I have plenty of experience taking care of my two cats, but not kittens, and especially ones this little. The shelters I have looked at so far will not take them before they've had shots and the vet said they can't have shots until they are about 4-6 weeks. We are fostering them rather than taking them to the pound, but I have no idea how to take care of them. We are feeding them kitten milk with bottles every 3 hours, but they don't take a lot of it. Only one of them will eat soft food. Two of them have taken up the litter box. Me and my sister gave each of them a bath and scrubbed them with Dawn to kill the fleas (on the shelters recommendation) and I picked them off with a pair of tweezers. So now they hate both of us Anyone have any advice? I shouldn't get involved in this, since I did not take the kittens in, but I know that none of us have any idea of what we are doing. Right now they are living in a inflatable children's pool that we picked up at Kmart. I have them in my room, which is one of the warmest rooms in the house. Right now, I would just like to keep them alive until we can get them into the vet's office, who can hopefully give us some advice. Sheesh.

Thanks for the review joann. Love that blooms from friendship is some of the sweetest, I think. Glad you enjoyed it!

Chapter Five is posted. Things start heating up!

Tibial, who was enjoying his renewed friendship with Chad, went to visit the older man whenever he had time. They talked often, and Chad would sometimes cook for him. Chad let Tibial see the painting he was currently working on, his previous one hidden safely away. It was a painting of the Goddess, a beautiful woman cradling the planet in her hands, the moon in her eyes and stars in her hair. “That’s amazing,” Tibial said. He always loved seeing the different representations of the Goddess. “
