Glad to see you back. It was a good chapter and I enjoyed reading about everyone again.

Over The Rainbow • Part VIII
avidreadr commented on Carlos Hazday's story chapter in Over The Rainbow • Part VIII
A very strong chapter. While it ended on a sad note, the last paragraph kept it from being a total cryfest. Liz was a great character and will be sorely missed. I am strongly curious about her last request and look forward to the next story.- 110 comments

What else to say but great chapter. Good going, Daniel!

A good chapter. I enjoyed the coming out, especially. As to "three not being receptive," it's about what I expected. Enough mention has been made of how conservative that region can be so some negativity could be expected. Isn't that why Raymond was so worried about the announcement. I intend to enjoy the read and hope, or trust,. that there's a HEA at the end of it all.

Loved it. Great chapter and a great story. I look forward to more with G & T.

Over The Rainbow • Part VII

Such an excellent chapter. Wonderful descriptions of interesting places. To go from all that to hearing about Liz's (I think that was her name) cancer returning was a bit of a shock. As always, I look forward to next Friday. -
Over The Rainbow • Part VI
avidreadr commented on Carlos Hazday's story chapter in Over The Rainbow • Part VI
A busy time for all. I figure Owen will easily pass the bar, so no problem there. It was nice to get to know Silas a little better. As to the argument at the end, I can see both points of view. I think another meeting when everyone cools down might be in order. CJ needs to listen calmly to Cesar and Cesar needs to accept whatever CJ and Owen decide. While prenups do seem a negative thing, they should be regarded as just another document and can be ignored. If no problems arise, they just sit in a file and don't do anything but if something happens - and no one can really predict the future - they are handy to have. I agree totally with Brett that CJ and Owen will be together always, so don't think I have any doubts. -

As usual, a great start to Friday. An interesting, amusing chapter. CJ is going to be an excellent diplomat and, who knows how far he may go. I keep imagining him as the first openly gay President of the US! As I said, an excellent chapter, -
Over The Rainbow • Part IV

You just keep topping yourself. A great chapter and what a super 40th birthday party! This story always makes me start Friday with a smile. -
I feel so much for Devon, there are tears running down my cheeks. What I really want to do is give his egg donor a hard slap and a few well chosen words. She has a hell of a nerve marching back into his life without explaining why she left the way she did. Devon deserves an explanation and I don't think there can be any true family healing without it. To my mind, as a mother myself, there is really no justifiable excuse but she needs to explain it to Devon.

Yes! Congratulations to the happy couple. Great chapter. -
Over The Rainbow • Part I
avidreadr commented on Carlos Hazday's story chapter in Over The Rainbow • Part I
Good start. I admire CJ's resolve to not get involved in politics during college but I wish him luck with being able to do it. It doesn't look like the politicians are going to leave him alone. Welcome back. I missed my Friday treat. -
I suspect Andy has led a bit of a sheltered life and not had to confront the problems of the aging poor, for lack of a better term. He didn't see heartless to me, just young and naive. I would think joining this group means he does want to help. The two men do share some interests and it seems, with time, things will improve. I did tear up when Eric started to cry, which is always a good sign with me. I look forward to more.

As do most of the Milo/Bren chapters, I am in tears. Philosopher George Santayana said, "Those who do not learn history are condemned to repeat it." That, I supposed, is the real message to take away from this. We must all do what we can to prevent these kinds of atrocities from happening again.

I have always respected people who can put words together to form stories I love to read. That you could create such a good character based on parts of yourself is wonderful. Love ya back. Oh, and while the character is a female, Lowenstein could just as easily be written male. If not for you saying she was female, she could be either.
-
I loved the Milo/Bren eposide. Dr. Lowenstein is truly amazing. Is she based on a real person? If so, I'd be curious to learn more. As usual, the rest of our cast was wonderful. The holiday dinner should be amazing.

Poor Bren. He's fortunate he has Milo; many couples did not make it through the war together. While not gay, I am Jewish so this story hits something visceral in me. As to the homophobes, I will never understand why they care who is in someone else's bed. Such severe hatred has never done any good and just caused absolute misery for many people. Antisemitism, racism, homophobia etc have been around forever but we're all still here! How about just learning to accept each other? Forget Love thy neighbor. We don't need to love each other, just accept each other. Accept thy neighbor! Maybe I'll embroider a sampler.

A nice slice of life chapter. I like Eric's ideas about finding the art and writings of Makarovia. Artists do need to create and I'm sure much of it is hidden away. Love these guys.
-
I just started reading this story and binge-read all day. A wonderful story. I have to admit I had to skim through some of the Milo/Bren story as it is so emotional and I found myself crying. The characters are all interesting and well-written and the story has an excellent flow and rhythm. I look forward to more.

"Older songs?" Ouch, ouch.
-
You sure know how to make a woman feel her age! The video portion of the clip is the movie based on the song, which is the audio portion. Good adaption.

A very informative and traumatic chapter. Poor Kohen. I just want to somehow make him feel better.
-
Powerful chapter. You can just feel everyone's pain coming through the page (well, actually, the screen.) Looking forward to more.

This chapter was a great holiday present. Thank you.

Roar was a very interesting and informative entry to the CJ story. It felt like we were getting an insider's view into the election, including all the emotions. I remember feeling like CJ on that day. Still so, as a matter of fact. As always, the writing was excellent, the story beautifully laid out and I'm still in love with the characters. Look forward to 2018.
