hi Geoff, so thankful for stories of cooperation and support, especially in these unusual times. all of your series are enjoyable, this one especially so. the more some try to divide us, the more it becomes apparent we are really aren't that different. enjoy your class and be safe thank you, d

you made it really clear that Boomer was from/had family in SF. but wow, never saw that coming! should be interesting to hear who Griffin is and what he leads/is part of. masterful!! hope life smooths out and you are safe, healthy and engaged - justice is not justice (nor blind) when it's predicated on skin color, language, orientation or economic status (and many others...) thank you for sharing! d

Thanks so much for sharing your vision - as scary as it is! the best stories are those which stretch (the readers) beliefs, something you manage to do with every tale. its encouraging to hear you have other stories you want to tell - as much as i want to know more about Redemption, very much looking forward to the other universes bouncing around in your skull 🙂 Be well, safe, healthy and engaged - i wish you are loved and cared for. thank you for sharing! d

oh wow just wow - it'll take time and likely a few re-reads for me to digest thank you for sharing such a challenging tale i hope you are well, healthy, safe and loved d

my brain hurts so much in 1005 words you truly are a sorcerer (for good) cia thank you!!!

holy fuck! what did I just read? more please!!!!! thank you!!

thanks for the new chapter, bndmetl! so many are struggling with 2020 - i'm grateful you have added to your creation - thank you so much! and what!? a 'doctor' wants to put down a hybrid/mix? if anyone needs to be banished from the pride........

good day, Palantir, i've been fortunate to have found your tales years ago - they all deserve polishing and publishing! the real question is, what does Palantir want? it would not break my heart if you decided to only publish on gayauthors.org, though what I want is unimportant ;-). Many of us are thrilled with you sharing the variety in your mind with us and are grateful for such polished and wonderful tales. well researched and communicated without exception. it was interesting to see you grow, publishing the first chapters of widderkin before the story had been completed - and i can only guess terrifying from your chair! what ever your choices are, thank you for sharing - if you prefer to publish as an armature or move towards life as a professional author, my only concern is you are happy and satisfied with your choices. And if you do publish professionally, where i can send my cash 🙂 thank you for sharing! d

so grateful you are concentrating on a different set of muscles! very much enjoy your diversity of styles. thank you!

Hey Geoff, if only I could claim responsibility for planning my timing..... you've put so much care, compassion, empathy and work put into this book, as @tesao said, we can see the subtle growth in Noah - this attention to detail is amazing while giving Noah (and those around him) a multi-dimensional life! Noah is a vivid boy on the cusp of becoming a man. and oh yeah, he's on the spectrum - what's the problem?? i attribute the lack of comments not to you and your skills but to us readers - many (and i'm not excluding myself from this group) may not have much experience with those on the spectrum and may be reluctant to comment in case it is perceived as offensive. good writing is 'easy' (yeah, right) around socially typical people, environments and situations. Addressing people who have different abilities than the general public has had the opportunity to experience can introduce reluctance to speak up (both here and in real life, but that's another subject!). thank you for addressing what some may think is an 'uncomfortable' subject - i truly hope reader's lack of comments does not deter you from telling all the tales important to you. we know you will do every character, situation and life justice. thank you and enjoy your break!

so many transitions that Noah handles so well - as Carlos said, so many would love to have Noah's life. i keep hoping that Barkley will talk to Noah - maybe when Barkley grows up and is no longer a puppy? really enjoy your stories, though this one is one of my favorites! thank you for sharing!

hmmm, did skyler have a name change to kelsey? hope you are well and working through the new environs!

Good day, r.eric, Thank you for the new posting - I much enjoy this series! i hope you are working through the new environment of physical isolation and have found ways to maintain connections to those in your life who are important. i'm humbled in ways i have yet to find a way to describe re your dedication to Daniel - I mourn your loss and celebrate the time you had together. if only the world could experience the love and connection you share as a celebration rather than an excuse to subjugate 'those not like me' we could work towards cooperation. I'm grateful for your generosity every time you post. Thank you. This being said, i'm also very aware of who I am - and am not. I have great appreciation for the creatives who make life interesting with perspectives different than mine,. On a good day, I am a critic - let's not talk about who I am on a bad day now;-). For those who, often without compensation, provide their creative output to the public, I only provide kudos publicly. While i may not understand creative choices, how those decisions are made are beyond my capacity to understand and I will not critique them publicly. On those occasions I take issue with the decisions made by the creator I may offer my perspectives in a private/personal message in what I aim to be a respectful manner. So what the heck is this comment about? I'm far from what anyone would classify as religious though do put public critiques by those who have not provided their personal creations (in the same forum) as sinful. There always seem to be those who believe they are better - without any evidence - critiquing those who actually create (and yes, I know where I am on the create/critique scale). I'm grateful for your posts and hope they will continue. So thank you for continuing to post! To those who critique without providing their creations: How dare you!

lots of love for you geoff, thanks for taking on a sensitive topic with such grace and humility. so much appreciated!

i'm not a violent or physical person though the acceptance and - especially the preparation in defense of the defenseless - makes my heart sing cia, you are wonderful thank you!

interesting story but a world where a genetically modified human is seen as a thing rather than a sentient being is damn disturbing . If Loreya said she didn't feed her dog for over a day, the guests would have been outraged and left the party. Not sure if I want to know why kelari are seen as things (toys) rather than sentient beings - and how/why society accepts that - though it's becoming a need to know.... thanks for sharing

hey cia, so sorry to add to the pressures you my be feeling in life. but you have delivered so much in under 1000 words i'm still in shock over the details hope that you, family (blood, chosen or other) and friends are finding good coping mechanisms thank you - you jerk 😉

hey R-eric, so glad you continue your tale - everytime i see a notification your have posted, it makes my day. and glad to hear you new computer and you are getting along ok - relationships can be challenging, especially when the new guy feels he has to measure up to the previous one! thank you!

i wish the best for Guy, though finding Seb's smiling face at the airport seems unlikely. Guy's place can't be so well hidden Alan could not find it and not being honest for more than two years with the guy he is planning to marry doesn't bode well. 😞 Thanks for sharing - nicely written!

hi davidj, what a nice surprise to see the continuation of the time travels of phillip! thank you for continuing to share you story of time travel!

really enjoying the different arcs of the story (mysterious big brother, jewel theft, missing super hero and of course a developing relationship - work, and personal). i'll echo others who appreciate your abilities to be clear and concise. Thanks for sharing this world with us mere mortals!

hey Geron, I hope you, family, friends and colleagues (including those who you might not initially care too much about) are safe and healthy thanks for your new tangent! There are very few things more guaranteed that a Geron Kees story Thank you for continuing to share the worlds which inhabit your mind - should we all be so fortunate. dave

thank you for adding a chapter! does make me think deeply on how poorly we treat other beings on earth, just due to ethnicity. indoctrination is a horrible thing, where people are taught to hate because others are 'not like us.' the indoctrination often becomes self-fulfilling as it is easier to accept the indoctrination rather than critically assess others as individuals rather than a group. very little is truly 100%, especially stereotypes. very much looking forward to more of the descendants of ida

oh the roles our circumstances force us to play...... beautifully written, difficult to read. thank you

I'm not sure what to say, and hope you are handling the change in your circumstances ok. that you continue to write in challenging times truly brands you as an artist 😉 i hope you are on a good path after the challenges - thanks for continuing to share with us!
