Lol, mission accomplished? You're invention of the Douchermad is perfect, and who knows, maybe it still applies...
You made me grin so broadly with your comment, thank you, JayT!
Remembering Luis and his gardens is great and all, but you kicked the guy that has Luis in his head to the curb so there's that. Exactly! He isn't thinking clearly anymore. I can't tell you what is happening yet, but I totally loved this comment! Thank you, spikey!
Would it be bad if I told you that's exactly what I want: confusing and frustrating? Evil author and all? I promise it won't take long now. Thank you so much for still reading and commenting, Lux Apollo! I greatly appreciate it. *hug*
I find it difficult to answer comments right now. I'm glad you're open to more than Diarmad being a complete asshole, although he kinda is. I absolutely appreciate every comment. Thank you, Babygirl08!
Are you familiar with the set mind of older men? You're right, everything was rushed, they had no time to get to know each other, get familiar with each other's way. Still, Diarmad's reaction to this is strange, a little over the top, don't you think?
Thank you for your comment, Timothy! Another interesting explanation for D's weird behavior.
It really is a trap! Somehow I never saw it like that but you're absolutely right! I doubted my writing when I got almost no response to a story I was really proud of. And I seem to have a knack of producing 'how could you's. I'm trying to ignore them now, or even provoke them on purpose. A good exercise to stay true to my story, although...I tend to write with only a general idea and see where it goes, which makes it easy to fall.
Anyway, now I know how to call it and step around 'the trap'.
Directly the next morning, Diarmad called Ronan to his office, and informed him about his new position as chief of security. Ronan didn’t seem to be particularly surprised about his sudden promotion though. The constant tension radiating off Diarmad, Landyn, and Simon must have been enough to answer that particular question. Diarmad still felt obligated to mention that Landyn resigned voluntarily—albeit not forgetting to add that Landyn merely preempted his dismissal, as Diarmad felt no longer s
You surprised me as well, AC. I'm glad 'the straight mind' was meant specifically to characterize the people of the IT department of the hospital. Sometimes I still have difficulties with the English language. I'm sorry. I'm glad we could clear this up.
On behalf of my many straight friends and family: you're generalizing. Lumping every straight person together with those people, is in IMHO, a little bit too easy, don't you think?.
Get well soon, Lacey!
A friend has a wind-up clock and he uses his phone to remind him not to forget. I always found that funny. I love the story! I will definitely look at your other stories now.
So, what? We now have ghosts in our repertoire as well as angels and imps, cupids and guardians? Cool!
Great story, Tim! Of course like everyone else, I want to know if Bart can get Dean to face his 'problems', get him away from his suicidal tendencies. Will Bart move one then? Get another chance maybe--reincarnation and all.
Obviously I had fun, lol.
