    This was my first M/M story and the praise I've received over it was beyond my expectations. You have no idea how excited I get when a new reader enjoys my work. It makes the whole effort all worthwhile. If it wasn't for all the good vibes, I've gotten form all of you, I might not have written as much as I have. Thank you VERY much.

    Broken Men

    Mann Ramblings commented on Mann Ramblings's story chapter in Broken Men

    If it was these two guys, I'd like to let them fight over me. Undressed with a bottle of conola... but I digress. I wanted an unusual threesome with this story with blurred lines of attachment. I'm just thrilled that it's been so well reviewed and received. Thank you for being one of them!

    A Dark Night

    Mann Ramblings commented on Mann Ramblings's story chapter in A Dark Night

    The warning was put there for more sensitive readers, so they can be prepared when the whole thing went south. This whole scene was a tragic event that is the catalyst for what's to come. Some were critical, it was a controversial moment. But its the moment that was intended to be in the story from its inception.

    Secrets

    Mann Ramblings commented on Mann Ramblings's story chapter in Secrets

    The blowup was inevitable and I think Eric's reaction showed how close he is to both men and how betrayed he must feel at the secrets being kept from him. Yes, he's a little over-protective of LM, but he's earned the position given their history.

    David was a total prick and writing the scene where Heidi slaps him and puts him in his place was very satisfying. At this point, Ogre and Little Man are falling hard. If they don't deal with Eric soon, it could be difficult.
  6. Mann Ramblings
    although Heidi is the "other woman" it would be too cliche to make her into a bitch. Making her likable in spite of the circumstances was the goal. Given the way everyone respond to her, I'd say I did well.

    Dialogue is very important to me and I worked so hard to make it work as much as the kick in the guts Little Man suffers here. I have to admit, writing intense chapters like this, upsets me too. But when they do, I feel like I've had a chance to really capture the moment.

    The art connection gives a dimension to Ogre that might otherwise be missing and as you've seen, provides a common bond of attraction for Ogre and Little Man. Even if Ogre has sat in denial for a long time. Thanks for reading and reviewing!

    My friends and I were obsessed with Monty Python back in our college years, hence it made it way into the story LOL

    The "what's your name" thing came from the real life guy "Ogre." I never actually knew his real name, although someone told me his name was Steve once, so there you go. LOL

    Thanks! Little Man and Eric's relationship was patterned in part after my own roommate back in those days. He was inflexibly straight, but completely open-minded. A lot of the odd banter and behavior between them is based on real events.

    Thanks, Kitt. I wanted this to be a situation where there weren't any real victims other than circumstance. The pain of moving forward is one of the hardest things we experience in our lives. I really appreciate the review

    I'm sorry you're sad, but happy that you liked it! I'm so conflicted right now...
  15. Mann Ramblings
    I wondered how readers might react to the sad theme on this one, but it looks like people have responded well. Thanks for the review. I'm really happy with how this turned out.

    Thanks for reading, Ashi

    Early 2015!!???!??? You slacker!!!!

    I hope Grace does too. She's too nice of a person to sit in denial forever. Sadly, this happens sometimes. Thanks for reading.

    I tried hard to express what I would feel in a similar situation. I may have succeeded. Thanks for reading.
  20. Mann Ramblings
    I'm going to take this as a positive speechless...
  21. Mann Ramblings
    I tried to wring as much drama as I could while keeping the whole scene quiet and low conflict. I may have succeeded. Thanks for commenting

    Thanks, Val. I always try to go with my initial instinct with prompts when the idea strikes. This is what flashed through my head this morning.

    Prompt 353

    Mann Ramblings commented on Valkyrie's story chapter in Prompt 353

    clever twist with the accident turning out to be the crucial point that left Jody alone and devastated, rather than a death to recover from. Nicely done.

    I'd become well acquainted with the sound of my crutches on the floor, but here in the hospital in brought out a sweat across my forehead and spine that had nothing to do with exertion. I was swamped in memories that were better left in the silence of the morgue. A murmuring cacophony surrounded me, a mass of hushed voices trying to maintain some modicum of privacy and dignity. Directories mounted to the wall somehow attempted to make sense of the maze this building was designed to be. Herds of
