Haha, it's not a problem, Better than being ignored.

Yes, Tim. I should have mentioned that too. Sorry @Hudson Bartholomew your critique deserves a critique of its own. At least I know what's expected in terms of the number of words etc. and I'm looking forward to writing one for a Cole Matthews story. I already know which one I'm going to pick. I will have to wait and see if there's anyone brave or dumb enough out there to tackle on of mine.

Thank you, @Wicked Witch What a wonderful review critique whatever. So that's how it's done. If the most difficult thing was finding any weaknesses then this is obviously a very good story, so hats off to @Hudson Bartholomewfor setting such a high standard.

Thank you, @Saraband for your comment. It means a lot to me knowing that people have enjoyed this story. It has been a steep learning curve for me but reviews such as yours make this hobby worthwhile. I'm glad that you were able to pick up on the clues without them giving the game away too early, which was a concern of mine when writing it. Thank you again for your support.

Tomorrow. Sorry, got caught up with other things. Hope you enjoy.

I would like to write a critique for @Cole Matthews please. Anyone who wants to try their luck with a story of mine though will have to hold off for a while until I have a few more completed. Don't let that deter you though because I've checked with Renee and I'm allowed to play. Looking at the line up in front of me, it may be a while before I'm called to the stand.

I think that your comment pretty much hits the nail on the head @sweetlion86 Daniel will feel a bit left out and maybe even replaced as you put it. The boys will need to be careful not to exclude Daniel in the near future, even though they may want to spend time on their own.

Thank you for reading SolarMaxx, and for the encouraging comments. Daniel is one of my favourites too and if that is a massive clue as to how things will eventually work out. It's not going to be straightforward though I'm afraid. Hang on in there!

You're absolutely right of course, Tim and I'm impressed that you can remember that far back! What was it, 70 chapters ago when Amy first blurted that out in the car on the way from the airport? Maybe Robbie would have been better off admitting it then, in front of everyone, but I wouldn't have had a story to keep me busy for nearly two years. Sadly for me, this story is now nearing its end and I'm soon going to have to start coming to terms with life after the Cockney Canuck. I never planned on writing anything other than this story, but I've become hopelessly addicted and recently started testing the waters with some other ideas. I don't think I'm going to be able to go 'cold turkey.' Thanks as always Tim for your unwavering support.

Thanks for your comment @Dahawk just when everything seems to be going well for Robbie, it would be a shame if he were to fall out with his roommate. Daniel hasn't shown us anything in the past though that would lead us to believe that this is anything more than a little sulk. He's a lot more laid back than Robbie so the chances are he will come around.

Thanks, @wenmale64 We will have to wait and see about Daniel, but not too long, I promise. Haha yeah, Nicola's starting to get a little protective, but let me see...any resemblance to someone in real life is purely coincidental! Is that how they say it? I need to cover my back here.

Yes, indeed the guy in the photo? You're right, things have changed around quite quickly for Robbie. Nicola is now his friend but does that mean that Daniel will turn into his enemy? Thanks for the comment @clochette

Thank you for your comment @Kjamieson and for following the story.

This seems to be a popular question and I can understand why, because Daniel's reaction was a little odd. I don't know why I'm trying to explain it because you know I'm not going to say anything even if it was true. Thanks, JayT as always.

Yes, there were witnesses, but as is often the case none of them could or were willing to identify the culprit. The only suspect so far seems to be the guy who the constable mentioned by name, but Robbie didn't recognise him from the photograph so nothing more was said. We don't yet know who this guy is or why his name was mentioned in the first place. We will have to wait and see. Thanks once again droughtquake, for your insight.

I'm pretty sure that @droughtquake used this term too in one of his comments on a recent chapter, and it certainly suits Amy. Thanks for the comment.

Thank you for your comment Israfil. I always appreciate honesty and constructive criticism is the only way I can learn, so I take your comments on board. They are just as valuable to me as your many glowing comments from the past, maybe more so. Thank you for your loyalty, it means a lot.

There were two small windows either side of my bed that faced the back garden and in the mornings if the blinds were open, the sun would shine directly onto my face. I usually made sure that they were closed at night before going to bed, but that day someone had obviously come in and opened them. It was enough to wake me, but not enough to force me out of bed, so I pulled the sheet over my head and rolled onto my side. “Robbie.” When I heard my name I opened my eyes, squinting into the

Thanks, JayT. Glad you enjoyed it. I hope I didn't throw you too hard for that loop!

Thank you for your comment mg. I can't explain how encouraging it is to read a review like this. I put a lot of work into this particular story, but I wasn't sure how well it would be received. Your reaction and the comment from @wildone was exactly what I was hoping for. I didn't want to give anything away but there were a few subtle clues along the way. As you mention the narrator's discomfort over the proximity of Devan's penis. The very feminine 'pink fluffy bathrobe' and the lack of any suitable clothing in her wardrobe for Devan to borrow, were also clues. As was the fact that she needed to wake the guy on the toilet in order to have a pee. Most guys would have been able to find somewhere else to do this without too much trouble. Really pleased you enjoyed this, your comment and kind words make it all worthwhile.

Yes, Georgie (the narrator) is a bi-sexual girl. There is, of course, no direct mention of the narrator's sex in chapter one, but there are a couple of tiny clues. I was certain that everyone would just assume that it was a male, but when you read it through, as you did twice, there is no reason to make this assumption because the first person could be either sex. I find it interesting to mess a little with people's pre-conceived ideas of a character within a story. It was an idea that I've been toying with for some time, although I don't expect it to be very popular with the readers at GA. Thanks for your comment Steve.

He laughed as I hastily covered myself with the sheet. I guess it was a little too late for modesty but it was difficult for me to believe the innocent looking boy in the doorway, was the same guy who I had just spent the night with. I was a physical wreck; poisoned by alcohol, and exhausted from a wild night of sex but Devan looked as fresh as a daisy. I wasn’t sure if I was supposed to feel happy that he hadn’t felt the need to leg it naked down the street after realizing his drunken mista

Thank you all for your comments and encouragement. Sorry for the delay but part two is now ready for posting!

What a wonderful thought inspiring blog. We take a lot for granted and often complain when it doesn't live up to our high expectations. I could imagine this kid walking around in awe of the facilities, which by your description a lot of people, like me, would have complained about.

I was woken by the neighbor’s dog barking; it was a good thing, at least I was at home. My mouth was parched; I was dehydrated and needed water, but as I lifted my head from the pillow the room spun three-sixty degrees and I felt sick. I hated hangovers and I had a feeling that this one was going to be severe. I could barely remember the night before. It was my brother Simon’s seventeenth birthday and he came to my place with his friends to celebrate after a predictably tame party at my parent’s
