    Story

    has a real energy and is disturbing to me. the end works and leaves a whole book in the suggestion which you don't need to write but the reader can start to imagine. a real example of less is more.

    sweet story. relatively little pain! you show real patience in letting things scarcely develop rather than rushing to the thrill. works really nicely. i enjoy reading your stuff.

    Story

    it's great. a little sombre! but you have a talent for handling characters and situations in a sharp manner. hope we don't have to experience horror to arrive at bliss, really!

    Story

    Interesting style. Good way to discuss an age-old problem. I think in theory, sharing someone ought to be fine, especially where the bisexual thing is involved, but in practice it's not easy. I mean, I don't like someone reading my magazine before I've finished with it, so I don't cope well with the idea of my partner in someone else's hands. Plus, there's the horrible self-doubt - obviously I'm not good enough for him/her and so they need someone else to feel fulfilled. Then you start to wonder if you need to compete - be a better lover to make sure they don't make the final choice to go with the other. In a sexy fantasy, all sorts of threeways are cool. In reality, I think you've hit that enervating trouble they cause perfectly. Um, in short, I enjoyed this.

    intense and hypnotic. aren't we all just children all the time or half the time anyhow?

    Ishtahar's Song

    lovely. reminds me of 'the dead' with the "would not let me come to you"
  7. I remember hearing a colleague proudly proclaiming: "some people live to work; I work to live." And I thought, I am living whilst I'm working, and a lot of my life is taken up with working. So if it wasn't something worthwhile and important to me, why would I do it. The ideal is to love what you do, surely.
  8. nicely built up. plenty of details and hints. i think ghosts and gay go together well - spaces in between!
  9. delicately handled, so to speak. but poor sandi seems to be getting a bit too much negativity, though i guess you have plans for her. good chapter ending. i wish i could write so consistently.
  10. all nicely handled, i'd say. bubbling along interestingly
  11. All stories should take place in art galleries. I like the introduction of a bit of female competition. Pretty boys shouldn't have it too easy.
  12. Your engagement with your characters is fascinating. It's easy to share in your pleasure in conjuring them. They are real and are delighted with your interest in them.
  13. gentle and thoughtful stuff. bit worried about the warnings, but don't feel that you've made any sort of mistake. not exactly a cliffhanger, but enough to make me want to read the next chapter.
  14. gorgeous writing, full of subtle hints as well as steamy sensuality. imagination is pulsing throughout what you write. the sort of writing that makes you wish anything were possible. makes you believe anything is possible, as you read. congratulations. will read on.
  15. hey, sorry you're having such a shit time. i wish i could say something to cheer you up!
  16. to seek, to strive and not to yeild? great to be so positive. great to know so much.
  17. I think this is really well written. Carefully built up, credible, interesting. Very fine writing, I'd say. Wonder where it's heading ... Congratulations. You're the real thing: a writer!
  18. like this chapter. like the song. like the story overall. you're obviously a proper writer - you're so patient with your build up. very impressive.
