    You warned us that this story was a “high school satire where every internet trope you’ve ever read shows up with glitter and trauma.” Who doesn’t love glitter and tropes! Thanks for writing this.

    The sequel is outlined. One of these days I’ll pick it up again. This is the first part of a trilogy. Thanks for the comment.

    Chapter 1

    Mark Paren commented on Mark Paren's story chapter in Chapter 1

    Good point. There are so many “if onlys.” It took a while, but in the end things turned out well for me. It’s an old adage often directed at young gay boys. “Things will get better.” It’s usually true. Thanks for the comment.

    Good chapter. I love adventure and discovery stories … and maybe romance?

    I left my boyhood town when I was thirteen and always dreamed of returning and hooking with my old friends and potential love interests (crushes). I returned twenty years later and sadly everyone had gone their own way. I hope things work out better for Ian. I enjoyed the chapter.

    I love the concept and looking forward to the next chapter.

    Chapter 1

    Mark Paren commented on Mark Paren's story chapter in Chapter 1

    Thanks for the comment. I think I started out, similar to you, as a boy being open and inquisitive about his sexuality. One deeply traumatizing event changed the course of my life. It took many years to overcome the shame and fear.

    I have confidence in you. 😉

    I’m an outliner, but I always end up going back and editing awkward passages.

    You don’t know what happens in the chapter after next? You must be a pantser (or a no pantser).
  11. Mark Paren
    The tension builds!
  12. Mark Paren
    Sounds like you were much more adventuresome than me.

    The games we play. But games are often fun!

    Mark Paren commented on andy cannon's story chapter in Chapter 1

    A painfully emotional first chapter (in a good way).
