A good chapter. Poor Min, comfined and restricted by his circumstances and the requisite obligations, and now losing his supportive and only real friends. It's a lonely prospect, and hard at his age, especially while watching his friends each making big changes in their own lives. And left with only Young Jae to keep him company. What dismal prospects he faces. He does seem to be adept at escaping though, -so there's hope...

Yes, it's love. Also really hot sex, -one of the best sex scenes I've read. I often just skim over those, and this one was brilliant. The risk element figures into the whole thing too, but I suppose that happens all the time in all sorts of affairs. This is beccoming a bit more than an affair, and there's the beauty of it: these two are so good for each other, and it's going to be a fight to have their love thrive when pitted against the accepted roles and stereotypes imposed by the straight football jock establishment, which is probably the most strict of them all. I don't see any problem with Eric though. I don't think he'd care. He's such a good-hearted person. It's comical how they are worried about him finding out. He likely has it all figured out, becase he's not a stupid jock stereotype either. I really like this story.

Those guys have got it bad. The dialog really shines in this story, it's a joy to read. I like all three characters and their interactions are lively and seem real. I really like this story.

Alexi does dwell on things, but that gives him the depth which makes him such a remarkable composer. Lily is fabulous. Adrian does seem to be looking out for himself mostly, so he's a good contrast for Joshua. And what's up with the credit card?

A dynamic chapter, and a joy to read. The whole thing cuts to the core of every kind of emotion, and then there you left us hangin' off the cliff again...hearts a'beaten like hyperactive field mice! The first paragraphs tell much about Shay, and how his imagination and dreams have shaped his actions in these situations he keeps finding himself in, -only it's real.

What a nice surprise to find two new chapters. The Bishp's opinion of politicians was priceless! I love this story.

Alexi certainly has artistic temperment. I'm happy that Adrian left the scene, to give Joshua a chance. He seems to be such a kind and thoughtful character... of course it would be too easy for Alexi to see how perfect he'd be for him. Thank heaven there's Lily to keep him somewhat in line.

I'm happy to see this story again. I've become rather attached to these characters. Sam and Addie are such nice people, I do wonder how much patience they have with Lucca, and where they get it from because I need some of it; -a lot actually. Jeremy is just being his usual irritating Germy self. He makes me laugh. You have to love him though. And then there's the mysterious Matt: What's he all about?

I like this story, the characters and the scenario seem real to me. The last scene was nicely done, -sensual and just erotic enough to work well into the story. Where you go with things next has me curious and wanting more, so I'm looking forward to the next chapter.

An amazing chapter, -I don't know how you do it, but you manage to squeeze in so much action, suspense, irony, humor, and even a couple of mystery men in black suits (that I know we'll see more of later) that it boggles my mind.

Brilliant chapter. The total immersion into Mira's mind in the first part especially. Have I told you that you have a way with words? You write in 3D.

So, they're going to Earth? And on a comet as well! That is big news, and I'm excited like the boys. I imagine they'll be in for a shock when they see the real thing at last. Everything they know will be adjusted after seeing a real atmosphere, smelling natural air, seeing wilderness. How's Sonic going to feel about the taste of the sea, and all the life in it? Will he succeed in convincing Earth dolphins to leave? Then there are the dangers and risks... You've really opened up a few cans of worms. I love it!

And so they meet. A dramatic moment...will this set the tone of the relationship? Saved by the handsome stranger with blue eyes... Hmmm?

Arrivals at a Tokyo airport, -that's a fine place for this story to end. Now Savan and Cole can begin their journey in earnest. I really enjoyed this story, and especially the picture of urban life in China and Japan. Thank you again for the pleasure, you have great talent.

A new story, and I like it, -especially Lily. I hope you intend to include at least one good fight scene, so we can see her kick somebody's ass with her ninja fashion goddess self, as she slices them up with deadly-sharp magenta talons. All with that smile... You describe the source of Alexi's talents well, and Peter's advice couldn't be more wrong. I suspect Alexi will have anything but a quiet time to think about nothing.

Beautiful! Felt like I was right there watching the show. Then you leave us with dreadful forboding... Wicked man!

A sweet surprise, a fairy tale with thorns & all! -Loved it, thanks. I wonder how many people have ever enjoyed the fragrance of a true pink? It is amazingly sweet, but not cloying, and all but forgotten today.

A lovely ending to a fine story. Thank you again for sharing it with us. You are such a gifted writer that you've made me really care about the characters, and give them so much depth and charm. I'll miss them.

This is a revealing and a touching chapter. You leave plenty of suspense but Zun is vindicated and now Big Daddy's in control. We'll see if that's a good thing or not. Plenty more threads to untangle. I'm really enjoying this stoy.

I'd been thinking Shay had been in stasis for longer than a few months, so 214 years came as quite a revelation; -a big one. Bravo! Now it seems there's another sharpling out there that may be of interest...I won't even hazard a guess yet, but something's coming there. I am hooked on your excellent story!

Much action in this chapter, in fact, so much that I feel disoriented. What happened to Cole? Did Zun take him back to his own place? -After he threw the guy in the dumpster? I think I missed something.

I'm so glad the boys have found each other, I hope they don't lose their heads over things...I come to this story late, but must say that the paragraph about the captain's fascination with waterfowl and the lookout's mutinous thoughts had me laughing. That was pure gold. -Still reading on...

Another fine chapter. Carlos seems like he could be a real asset to the story now that he's around some decent people. The nasty idiot in the garage is hopeless. The kiss was beautifully done, and it's impact on the two teens was profound as only a first kiss can be. A story like this, with the strong plot dominating, really doesn't need much distracting sex. I have no doubt that you'd do an amazing job with it though. So one or two interludes would be fine, but it's the love and the bond between Shay & Mira that matters. As of now, I can only say that you've done such excellent work so far, just follow your instincts.

What a wild, wonderful world...oh, wait; -could it be your imagination again? I enjoyed this chapter, but I love the whole story. This one is full of bright and colorful images: Caleb and Sonic are ultra fabuloso, and Wirrin's new abilities are awsome. What's Thom going to get? I sense that something darker is coming up, but I'm enjoying the current upbeat time. Can't wait for the show!

I expected something nasty to pop into the wedding, but this chapter was much more than the ol' screamer in the pews! You did a fine job portraying Christian's mother as a prim Southern Lady more obsessed with doing her "christian duty" than actually being a real loving mother and grandmother. She isn't really a monster, she's simply an old and inflexible woman ready to end her days in sacrifice. I suppose she sees herself as some kind of a martyr; to me she's just a stupid, clueless loser. At least she had sense enough to be kind to the grandchildren she's exiled herself from. We also see David actually speak out loud about his own sadness and the subtle but important loss of that look in Christian's eyes he once treasured. Will he ever get that back? Hmmm... A brilliant chapter, even though the kids weren't in it! I imagine we'll see something of them in the next one? See you at the wedding!
