    Home Sweet Home

    Thanks for sharing this, especially with all you have to deal with right now. Hope you feel OK. How do you keep the quality so consistent?

    Worth It

    This is very well write and disturbing. I think you explore (much better than the song lyrics, actually) the lie that love and suffering are somehow linked. You write very powerfully and suggest subtly but strongly what real love is. Thanks for sharing.

    Story

    You usual standard of narrative. A really well written account. Having read your blogs earlier in the year, I can guess the inspiration. You make a good story out of a real event, which isn't as easy as it sounds, I'd say. Nice job. Hope there have been no more incidents like this!

    Chapter 1

    A horrible story to read, and terrifying to think it's based on real events. There are some twisted people out there, huh? What is it that makes people want to cause pain to others? You write with you usual economy and precision. Thank you for sharing.

    The epilogue

    An interesting addition to the main story. The parents' response is awful: really hope that this kind of thing will soon be completely a thing of the past. Thanks for sharing this story.

    JB and Me

    A very believable and readable account, with lots of interesting details. You write with real control and move the story on with pace - good stuff.

    Chapter 1

    Gotta love a Dungeons and Dragons based story! I used to play it when I was a kid - a million years ago! I used to love those weird shaped dice. You handle everything with your usual flair and fluency. Nice to read one of your more optimistic stories too. Sweet - if that's not an insult! I enjoyed reading this. You're one of the best writers on GA, and you prove it again here. Thanks for sharing.

    Chapter 1

    Especially sad when I read that it was in part inspired by something real. You create a believable situation so convincingly, and you handle the moment where Will decides to give up on Sean with subtlety. Nice job. Thanks for sharing.

    Chapter 1

    As ever, you have loads of great ideas, precise rendering, and you totally get into your imagined world. I can see how this would develop well into a full-length novel. Thanks for sharing.
  10. I like the way you really commit to your imagined world and build it up in great detail. The central idea is intriguing and thought-provoking. A very different kind of story to ones usually seen here. Interesting throughout. I think it was a good idea to add the alternative endings. Maybe you should suggest people read it with a pair of dice in hand and take the shake themselves at the end! Thanks for sharing.
  11. I like the old world setting and the many elements to the story. An original and unusual piece. Thanks for sharing.

    Wow!

    You are a lovely presence here. GA is great, but it's also lucky to have you!
  13. Another expert chapter, playing with story form, revealing some things, holding others back. Nice job. Thanks for sharing.

    Chapter 1

    You write with great energy, power, passion and precision. Your imagination just rolls and rolls here. There's a real force about the way you run through the erotic infolding. Inspirational writing. Thanks for sharing.

    Blind Date

    Thanks for sharing, KC. Great steamy kiss. x
  16. You continue to navigate your way through this relationship in subtle ways. Thanks for sharing.
  17. Good chapter ending! The old cliff-hanger routine! Michael is warming and softening, isn't he? Good job, as usual.

    Cupid's Arrow

    Nice background details coming in. I like how you answered my question in the last review straight off. Even though I only just posted the review to the last chapter, just after you posted this chapter. Michael is very interested in Asher, huh? And the death of a sibling would certainly account for some of Asher's issues. Thanks for sharing this.

    Piperton

    No, haven't got to like Michael yet. But it's a lovely job you're doing building things up steadily, intriguingly. How come Asher is working in a bar when he clearly belongs in medicine? Hmmm ... interesting!

    I Was Running

    Certainly some potential there, huh? You write very vividly and powerfully. Where were you thinking of taking it? Would the dream become reality? Does it reveal something about the narrator? Is it a symbol of some other kind of anxiety or fear? Interesting to see a little off-cut like this before you get back to it. Thanks for sharing. Hope you work on the idea some more sometime soon.
  21. what if music kind of blue? what then?
  22. Thanks for another interesting chapter. Some guys will check out a waitress's ass and be interested in the handsome dude they're having dinner with, at the same time. So maybe M is just waiting for someone to help him discover his queer side, huh?
  23. Glad you seem to be getting somewhere with this. Hope it turns out to be a manageable situation as you suggest.

    Chapter 1

    A great piece. You include lots of interesting details. You write powerfully and memorably. Thanks for sharing.

    To the End

    I understand that urge to say something about this dreadful event that is so close to home for you. It's hard to know where to begin in talking about such things, but you have found a way to assert a strength in the face of the horror of it. thanks for sharing.
