WOOO Iron and Wine is awesome! Anya's kind of awesome too I suppose
-
LOVE THIS. That guy sure can dance... All I want from life is his moves Lol.

Hey, thanks for the awesome review! Means a lot to me when people tell me they like it because, well, even I've gotta admit sometimes not much about the story is LIKEable... So thank you The next chapter is almost there, just got a couple of bits to sort out... And in the meantime I'm really glad you're enjoying it

Hey Lisa, got to thank you for picking up on the 'Adam' thing--Adam was an earlier draft name for Tom. Fixed, but it totally ruined my credibility there Yeah, I was thinking about what you said about Tom and the 'guy code', and it got me wondering--he's actually not perfect as I thought. He totally let Elijah feel bad about kissing Anna, when it turns out he wasn't interested in Anna all along! And now he's after Sophie... Guess it's easy to forget he's just a normal person because we only ever see him from Elijah's besotted perspective. Or maybe he just looks perfect because, compared to Elijah, anything looks morally upstanding Thanks for the review!

Heh it's just me and you in the Pro-Elijah camp Anya And Anyta. I'll be King, Anyta will be Queen... And you could be court jester? But seriously, thanks for the review, and thanks for liking Elijah Yeah, Mrs Harding's too nosy for her own good.

Hey, thanks for reading! You're totally right about Elijah finding happiness. But like all things, he's a work in progress. He'll be fine you'll see! But in the meantime... Guess you have to keep reading to find out about Tom cuz I'm not sayin nuthin
-
Hey Traveller! I wasn't aware you ever left I-want-to-smack-Elijah-mode Yeah, Mrs Harding's not all bad. Bit too motherly for me but she has some redeeming features. She's not insane, for starters.

The Oxford rejection letter came in the post a week later. I wasn’t even invited to interview. Seated in the middle of the stairs, still holding the letter, I couldn’t help but concede that it was a setback. It was a rejection. I’d never been rejected before. Everything I had set out to achieve in life, I had done so, and I had delighted in doing it with that languid, artful disinterest that was my trademark. Everything I cared about I succeeded at—everything I failed at, I didn’t care fo

Hey Nephy, thanks for the review! Sorry it took so long to reply, I totally missed it... Yeah, Elijah's mother is one conquest he's unlikely to achieve in this story I'm afraid. Sorry A character like that there's just no dealing with, I think, and Out of the Woods is all about Elijah adapting around her--or adapting into a healthier shape I guess, since he's arguably already very adapted. No worries though, there's more than enough drama to go round! And thanks again for the reviews

Aw, sounds like you're falling into the 'I hate Elijah' camp Ah well. And I thought this chapter was one of the more sympathetic of the early ones! But everything you said was true though--he does have Tom wrapped around his finger. And about his perception of himself... I'd say it's pretty good, but that's just my opinion. My guess is that at the minute, Elijah's too fucked up to care so much about how he makes others feel. But that's what character progression is for, right? Thanks for the review!

Evidence, in Each and Every Room
Jasper commented on Jasper's story chapter in Evidence, in Each and Every Room
Hey Quonus--sure you're allowed to grumble! Grumbles make me write better Although, I'm allowed to completely disagree with your grumbling... But mabye this time I see your point, it was a pretty disconnected flashback. I figured it was useful because it would properly inform the y'all when it comes to understanding Chris/Elijah's future relationship. But yeah, point taken and thanks! And Elijah has Chris totally figured out. Totally. He's a clever kid There's actually a reason Elijah hates Chris, and he knows what it is but he's not saying... Maybe as you get to know him a little better you'll figure it out? If not, I'd be happy to tell you -
Hey Yeah, there's no hook... Yet. Sorry But the hooks come fast and furious before long don't worry... Or at least, I think so. But then you probs shouldn't listen to anything I say. Next chapter will be out in a couple of days, almost finished it!
-
Hey Quonus, thanks for reading! Hah yeah I've noticed that Elijah does tend to...polarise opinions. (By which I mean, I like him, and everyone else hates him ) But gotta say I like your take on him best--he's just a kid, after all. He'd be a good kid if he was able to be, I think. And uh yeah I'm going for the Cliffhanger title! Just wait til the new chapter comes out and you'll all see... The crown's mine
-
Hi Paideia, thanks for reviewing! I'm on a roll with this story at the moment so I'll have the next chapter to you in a couple of days
-
Hey Lisa, thanks for the review But... You didn't actually expect Elijah to tell another human being something important about himself did you? He's got more issues than Time magazine But yeah, he was an ass. He'll sure be sorry in a couple of chapters though

Story Review Featured Story: How The Light Gets In
Jasper commented on Trebs's blog entry in Gay Authors News
These two stories were pretty much the best I've ever read here on GA. I thought they were incredibly powerful and moving, and pretty much unlike anything I've ever seen before. Does anybody know if Duncan Ryder is ever going to finish How The Light Gets In? Because if no one's heard from him I might cry. For real. -
I left the party in a daze; I wandered to my car and locked myself in, mindlessly reeling in the sudden drop of the wind. I put on my seatbelt and sat and did nothing, my hands clinging, limp, to the wheel. A light still shone through one window when I arrived home. I had that moment of stumbling panic, like falling, before I realised it came not from my parents’ window but Victoria’s. I slipped inside and climbed the stairs silently; I crept into her room and slid into her bed. Sh

Evidence, in Each and Every Room
Jasper commented on Jasper's story chapter in Evidence, in Each and Every Room
Hey Rndmrunner Yeah, I couldn't agree more. In many ways Elijah's had to grow up very quickly, and in others he's got a long way to go. Thanks for the review! -
Hey, thanks! I've been told the beginning chapters are slightly slower paced than the ideal, so I'm glad you're enjoying it And you're right, I'm a big fan of complex characters. Well... Mostly Elijah
-
Erm, no. Please no. Please.

TOMB RAIDER!!!! Uuuuugh Tomb Raider, I remember being fascinated by Lara's spiky triangular boobs when I was about six. Brilliant. When's the new one coming out though, I heard they're doing a remake this time around... Not sure how I feel about that Best game in the world
-
I know!! Thank god for another Englishman (well, you know what I mean... Whatever. I'll shut up). I started off calling them by their REAL names but figured I'd swap it for the benefit of the mistaken Americans
-
Hey Lisa--glad you enjoyed it! Nah I imagine it was only Elijah that had his head shaved--shaving a girl is a little weird even for Mrs. Laurence I'll have the next chapter out in a couple of days
