    Chapter 1

    neatly done. a clear and effective metaphor. a rather sad story behind it, i'd guess. thanks for sharing.
  2. strong style. precise. direct. emotive. nice job. thanks for sharing.
  3. Funny, I didn't notice the technique until I read your note. I guess that's a testament to how natural you made it sound. A good experiment. A strong series of metaphors. Thanks for sharing.
  4. Direct and purposeful. You handle the rhyme well. It's tough to do that so smoothly. thanks for sharing.
  5. It's good. You are a poet. And you know it.
  6. kissing and books. perfect combination. I like the repetitions as it goes: suggests passion and insistence. x
  7. Congratulations. I'm a fan!
  8. Congratulations cool guy! KC is a fully fledged GA star, for sure.
  9. you write so well, with such precision and control and fluency.
  10. I guess not everyone will get you, but don't let that stop you from celebrating who you are and projecting the self you feel within. Enjoy being you.
  11. Interesting. Will you post more? You clearly have some talent.

    Bummed

    I didn't realise you were "really cute". How come I've never seen a picture of you? And why are worrying about some other guy when I'm always around? Seriously, the right guy is out there for you, no doubt about it. He's sitting there right now thinking how much he'd like to meet someone exactly like you.

    Burnt Dreams

    You write with real control and show subtle and interesting emotional depths for your characters. you seem to dwell on loss and heartbreak, but you do it beautifully.

    Half Jack

    my kind of story. you handle the present tense very effectively, bi the way. but I like the in between-ness of Sam. very interesting. you make me want to know more. good writing.
  15. I think you express this very well and pretty much agree with your point of view. I'm sure I could fall in love with anyone: man, woman, trans. It's the person that counts. As for the sex part, I personally feel I could be very easily persuaded to enjoy intimacy with anyone I loved. And I have certainly found both men and women attractive. And there is something else queer about my inner world too, which is not entirely about sexuality, but has to do with the fact that when I am powerfully attracted to someone, I often feel that I don't just want them, I want to be them. Thanks for this interesting blog.
  16. sweet opening. good details and clever touches. i'm such a softy, so I like seeing you do something a bit less scary!
  17. I enjoyed this. A nice take on the hallowe'en theme. Everybody loves a vampire, really, don't they? I wonder how horror and the erotic have become so entwined in our imaginations. Bram Stoker's Dracula certainly includes that mix. And I guess the whole idea of being bitten on the neck is enticing - or is that just me? And there's the metaphor - if it counts as one! - of having your life sucked out of you. And i guess love is like being drained of life in a way, when it goes wrong anyhow. Well, you stirred all that into the mix really interestingly. I like the ending. Thanks for sharing.
  18. It's very sweet and languidly beautiful. Sensitive and tender and appropriate and melancholy and hopeful. Thanks for pointing this out.
  19. What kind of story are you writing? Will you be using your "heterosexual dominatrix" experiences somehow, because that sounds like something new to throw into the mix. I think it's important to be honest and expose the mistreatment that people face because of their sexuality but it's also important to celebrate their lives as being full of happiness like anyone's can be. My sense is that things are constant changing for the better in terms of attitudes to LGBT identities, but I know it's very tough for some people still. Look forward to seeing your story.
  20. Glad to see you're still writing your wonderful stuff. You're such a star.
  21. Neatly done piece, captures the melancholy with economy - no fuss, no exaggeration. You write with subtlety and skill.

    Ring

    I like this - very well-handled scene to begin with, neat and swift-paced. Nice ideas about the map, the island and the urns, then an intriguing twist at the end. Amazing how you pack so much in without it seeming rushed or undeveloped. Nice job.

    Or Colleagues

    This is cute. And you handle the pace of the piece really well. I hope you do post something longer some time soon. Your anthology piece was really good and your prompts show you that you can do pretty much whatever you want with your writing - you have the skill and control. It would be interesting to see where your imagination would go on a larger scale. You must have written lots, surely!

    Engagement Party

    Is this cheating? Very post-modern: writing about writing. A good way to flex the writing muscles again: have you a new project in mind? Thanks for sharing.

    Stark-Ass Naked!

    I don't how you even get to chapter 24, let alone adding more. I always run out of steam after about twelve chapters when i'm writing. guess I have a short attention span. it's great to see you pleasing your millions of fans - jealous? me? I like to see a writer really enjoying their work, really taking pleasure in the job they have made for themselves, which is why i'll always enjoy reading your stuff.
