Ron, you have masterly told a tale of redemption. It is almost hard to believe the transformation in Scott's character while remaining true to the core of him. In Mark's Revenge we saw a manipulative bully but it was was we did;t see that held it together. Scott was always a contradiction, blowing hot and cold in his attentions to boys but we did;t see under his skin. In Scott's Story, we saw what was going on inside and it began to all make sense. A great tale!

Scottie's getting a little self confidence and self respect. It was good for him to stand to for himself.
-
Alex is the big tease, dropping the bomb on Scot and then passing out without explaining.
-
But it does all revolve around Clarissa. Luckily Deon understands this.

Scott is still a bit lost. He is seeing new possibilities for himself but it is all so different. He is getting a chance to be a different version himself.

Chapter 2-Bumpy Landing
Rndmrunner commented on mitchelll's story chapter in Chapter 2-Bumpy Landing
Remember the girls/women on the street in the previous chapter when Will was helping Andy out of the bar! -
Very sweet chapter!
-
The real challenge will be to have Scott move on and change but not write a completely different character. Tough challenge but you are up to it!
-
Neat, sweet and petite!

Scott's parent are responsible for their actions and the scars they put on Scott. So is Scott responsible for his actions, that is part of growing up. Many people face worse and come through morally intact, some don''t. We are still baby steps into Scott's rehabilitation, he has a long way to go.

CH 17 A 7 Flags Rollercoaster
Rndmrunner commented on FSELL's story chapter in CH 17 A 7 Flags Rollercoaster
So I guess its Tuesday and that Jamie's day to fall in love with Ben. How many men has he fallen for so far??? Time for our little boy to grow up a bit -
Great chapter Graeme. Many of the stories on GA are posted as serials. Yours is difficult for me to read as a serial. Granted you post every two weeks like clockwork. I still find it difficult as I get pulled in with each chapter and then reach the end and have another two weeks to wait. What I am really saying is that as with your past stories, I am enjoying this one immensely.

The energy between the characters is amazing. The emotions leap off the page

Interesting how Tom feels that Kit's possessiveness and bossiness is a sign of Kit acting older than his age. To me it is a sign of both Kit's and his father's immaturity and lack of self confidence as in "this is how I should act to be considered a man cause sometimes i haven't got a clue"

" No one can compete with the dead. They make no mistakes.” Bad Author, bad bad author, this is the second time you've taken an uncredited line from Harvey Fierstein and Torch Song Trilogy. There was one in your Colorado story as well. I'm not knocking you, they are good lines but give due credit Otherwise the story and the dialogue are on track and sharp and poignant as usual.

I realize that I have started this story before and bailed. I like the writing and the characters but was stalled by Michell's sexual predator behaviour. I will push through and see what happens. A big obstacle though is as s a gay dad, i still try and tell my kid (in different words) you can be smart, powerful, attractive, but if someone acts like a dick - they are a dick! End of story
-
Change the name Mitchell Gill to Harvey Weinstein. A rose beanie other name or should I say predator
-
your dialogue and characters are always sharp and engaging
-
you all can argue about the ending but this is a winner because the characters are so clearly drawn and the interplay between them is so intense, funny, tense, loving, stupid, ....

I am sure that it still varies place to place. We live in an urban centre and I am happy that at my kid's middle school and now at high school it is no big deal - sexuality, gender, it is all out in the open and on the table. Sadly that does not mean that there is no buying. I also know that this is not everyone's reality but it is comforting to see that things have changed for the better. In my day, you finished school and made sure that you were independent before you came out and even then you didn't come out at work. Happily now workplaces have also changed

Chapter 102 A student for a Day
Rndmrunner commented on Dodger's story chapter in Chapter 102 A student for a Day
Another great chapter I love the use of highway "four-oh-one". Us locals, see "Hwy 401" and all know that it is called by the individual digits not the sum. It is still amusing to see it spelt out in print. Tom has given Robbie something to chew on -
Sorry for the lengthy gap between chapters! Life got a little hectic. That with a case of writer's block put me in a rough spot. I knew I could not write with the same quality you guys deserve so I gave it some time. Ace, your stories reflect the care and high standards that you have for your writing. It is always worth the wait and I (we) are honoured to enjoy the fruits of your labours.

Holy PBS after school special Batman !!! A Gay straight alliance and "tolerance" for the Gay lifestyle. I got a little rant going here There is an urban lifestyle, a suburban lifestyle, a hipster lifestyle, punk, goth, ... but being gay is not a lifestyle, a fashion choice, or an accessory even if it may include all of the above. Hopefully the Gay straight alliance is embraced by the students and not just a laser beam on the foreheads of the queer and queer friendly folk.

Chapter 101 Back to School

RE the discussion of Rory: masculine and feminine stereotypes are just that, stereotypes or archetypes. In many cases they align with sexuality - - - - except when they don't! Go Rory! Keep on being yourself.
