K.C.

That's a great looking cover!!

Happy Birthday!!!! (You didn't blow out the candles fast enough before the Fire Department showed up..... No, we didn't hire strippers)

You did leave a review and I was just getting ready to send you a message to tell you that when we tried to fix the chapter problem that everything got deleted. I'm sorry! I was so excited about posting this chapter (I guess it was too hot and melted the posting gears, LOL) I really hoped you would like the lightning durning the scene, I felt it really set an electrify tone Thanks so much for reading! KC

The apartment was dark when Asher and Michael returned from the park. As the door swung open, Asher dropped his keys to the floor with a metallic thud, and roughly pressed Michael’s shoulders against the wooden door. It slammed closed under the force of their combined weight. Lightning flashed, sending silvery light dancing across the room before pitching them back into darkness. Asher threaded his fingers through Michael’s wet hair, slightly yanking handfuls of dark locks as he pulled his h

This chapter didn't show up in the update list. I almost missed but so glad I didn't. Okay first, you evil man! jumping ahead in their relationship like that? I wanted to really see their romance bloom and grow. I see that they have taken the next step, but it would have been nice to see unfold. I really liked to see Axel's childhood before the war. It was sad, I'm sure he is homesick, and thinking about his friends must bring that all back for him. Soooooo.....in the midst of full anal sex with an unlocked door??? I'm guessing someone is standing there watching! I almost want it to be Jake and him to be curious enough to want to join them and not run to their mother and get A & X in trouble I can't wait to see what happens.

Jeez, Little Blue is all you think about is sex? LOL I think the shorter chapters are working better (about 2000 words each +/- a few words) I'm trying to hone my skills and cut out the excess and write a better story. I hope it's successful BUT as it has been pointed out to me that those darn tags on the front of the story....well just wait! It ain't over yet, baby! The inside cat is so fat we could leave her for a month and not worry about her starving! LOL The 2 outside cats are hunters which explains for the dead-half-eaten bodies left on the porch every day. Squirrels, birds, chipmunks, frogs, snakes, moles, you name it we have it...I'm waiting for them to leave me a dead deer!

Kissing/making-out in the rain is something everyone should experience! So romantic. Thanks for pointing out Asher's healing injury. It will still be part of the story but not to overshadow their blooming romance. I kept referring back to what I could do/not do after I broke my arm years ago (I got hit by a car ) There was a lot I learned to do with my other hand as well as we saw Asher's determination a few chapters ago (chapter 14) to try and regain his strength and getting his life back to normal..BUT we will find out about his progress soon! Thanks for reading! KC

Thanks Breeze! When I'm writing I always ask myself, what would I do if I was in this situation (sometimes I go with the opposite ) But sometimes I have the characters do what I would. I've chased after a guy in my time...he was certainly one worth catching! More is coming really soon, thank you for all your encouragement during this story!! KC

That's one lucky raindrop I was hoping to pull it off without it reading creepy or corny...I'm glad you liked it. I did toss around the idea of if Michael was gone when Asher reached the lobby, would he find Mike? Would he know where he'd gone? I thought the old freight elevator gave more character to the building and I liked that Asher ran for his life to catch him I'm working on Monday's chapter as we speak....should be ready soon. Thanks for reading! KC

Thanks Lisa, It's always great spending time with my family. There was no other option for Asher except to go after Michael. I know it's what I would have done in his situation. The rain was one of my favorite scenes. It's a romantic experience (I highly recommend it if you have the chance... ) I've been caught in a few rainy storms myself Thanks for reading, KC

I'm so sorry to hear your news. My thoughts are with you and your family.

That was hot LOL But they fell asleep out in the barn? Oh No! I hope his brother doesn't walk in on them that would be sooooo awkward! Vey sexy chapter but Axel deep throating like a pro on his first try? Maybe there could have been some clumsy fumbling the first time he sucks him to make it feel more natural (just my opinion) but still....HOT!

I can't believe that I missed the posting of this! I saw chapter 14 and was confused! (You slipped this one by me ) As always, Joe this is a beautiful story. I like to see how A & X's relationship is developing. They are so cute together. One concern I have and I'm not Canadian so I'm not sure about their laws but you might want to do some research or get with one of our "Northies". If you have researched that's great, then I'm the one mistaken but I thought that homosexual acts were still illegal in Canada until the late 1960's. I don't think they were punishable by death, not like Germany but they were not allowed to be openly gay (the shunning from the Catholic Church is a whole other worry) Great story. I look forward to more

:hug:

What a mix of emotions! Happy, sad, angry and worried and a bunch more all at the same time. I really like the flow of the story almost sing-song as if reading a storybook fable. I wish it was a little longer since I would like to know what's in store for Rock as he starts his new life (just 'cause I'm nosey) but It felt right to leave us wondering about Rock's future. Great job!

Happy Birthday Isaac!! Hope you have a great day!

I agree that the author should have had thicker skin if posting something in such a public place to be praised or criticized but still, I don't like to be overly aggressive with the reviews I leave. I will ask questions and try to engage the author with the plot, give my thoughts on characters and what I like but I don't want to be the ax that breaks an amature author (most of the authors here on GA, this is their first time letting the world see their work.) They are writing for fun, for the joy of it as a hobby. They are not getting paid and not profiting on their work. I feel that harsher critiques should be in private, in my opinion. That also brings up a good point are reviews for the author or are they for the readers? If it's a story that I'm actively following, I don't see why putting up character inconsistencies or plot holes in a review, because most of the authors I've talked to about this will go back and work on those issues (I know I have when someone tells me I've made some big errors) If they are fixed then they won't still be in the story when new readers come along at a later time. [edit to add: I also never read reviews on a story before I actually read the story. I don't let what other readers say influence me. I have a wide range of things I like and don't like, so I know pretty quick if I want to dive in or run away. ]

Have had my share of positive and negative reviews. I'm okay with both. I feel like it has made me a better writer when someone is constructive with their criticism. If I've missed edits or left holes in the story then I want to know. If it's just not the readers cup of tea (example- they hate supernatural stories or more realistic stories that might not have a happy ending...then it makes me wonder why they bothered to read a genre they don't like in the first place.) But again, the reader took the time to tell me what they think and I appreciate it. On the flip side, I chose my words carefully when I'm leaving a review for someone else. I left a review on a story that I loved a few years ago. It was positive but I did have a concern/question about something that struck me as odd that happened in the story. I didn't think about much after that. Later I found out that the author reported my review and it was deleted...but other readers had notice and questioned me about it. It was awkward when I found out that the author removed his story afterwards. When I read a story, I try to take some time and think about what I want to say and I try to make each review I leave for authors as fun and unique as the author themselves. Each story is different. If I have something that might be taken as negative, I will send it in a PM so not to offend anyone. (I've even asked if it was ok to go back to the story and leave that my review but would never without their permission since I now know some authors are more sensitive.)

Aww Thanks Cole! I really think I have grown as a writer with this story. I'm working on pacing and character development on a level that I've never done before. I hope that it comes through I'm glad you're liking these guys! Thanks again, KC

I think I could give you a 5,000 word chapter Ms. JoAnn and you would still say too short! LOL thanks hon, for dropping by to check out the new chapter. There is sooo much more to come. (I think you will like it ) *****HAPPY BIRTHDAY JoAnniepoo!!!!******** xoxo KC ((should I run and hide now???))

Yeah, I think staying at the party was totally out of the question. I'm glad the guys went off to do their own thing and hope that it gives Ian a chance to think about how he acted. I really like Asher's neighborhood. It makes me miss where I grew up ((sigh)) Thanks so much for reading. I'm glad it was worth the wait KC

Thanks Richard for stopping by to read more of my story. I'm really having a great time with this story and had a wonderful time with my family while I was off, made it worth every moment! KC

That's okay Ron, I've been known to squeal and dance around in circles when I've seen that a story that I'm following has posted a new chapter ((shhhhhh, don't tell anyone ) I'm glad you're liking it. Now that vacation is over I'm focusing on writing and should have my Monday posting schedule back on track KC

I'm glad that you survived without a fix...I can see you now on the street corner trying to score some chapters? Maybe a novella to hold you over? LOL You're too funny Charlie! Thanks for reading KC

If you ask the kids working behind the counter, a lot of times they have extras from previous weeks. I've asked before when missing some of the toy collection in a set (for JJ of course!!! ) If not last resort is buy them on ebay. PS I LOVE Smurfs I had Smurf e-v-e-r-y-t-h-I-n-g when I was growing up
