    The Game

    starboardtack commented on Mrsgnomie's story chapter in The Game

    Thanks for a wonderful journey. I especially like how you let your characters evolve but not be perfect. They were so very human. Take a well deserved break — for a day or two.

    Chapter 36

    starboardtack commented on kbois's story chapter in Chapter 36

    When Ashton typed out “I missed you,” my eyes filled with tears. That has never happened in years of reading Gay Authors stories. Well done, sir. Very very well done.

    Your creativity and imagination never cease to amaze me. The threads you weave into your stories……..!

    I haven’t been able to let go of the previous chapter — the one that garnered such criticism, including mine. Something has been gnawing at me. I have trusted you through the delivery of all the previous excellent chapters and the thought came to me why not with regard to that chapter as well? What am I missing? This morning I realized that your storytelling is in keeping with the tradition of trickster gods who interfere, overturn, and make a mockery of human expectations and demands, for their own purposes or even whims. I realize now it was a masterful chapter entirely consistent with this type of narrative. Well done, sir.Very well done!

    Epilogue

    starboardtack commented on Laura S. Fox's story chapter in Epilogue

    Thanks for a creative, fun, and occasionally stressful journey. The love all your characters had for each other was incredibly touching and real. Nothing seemed forced or contrived. Great story -- many thanks/ Looking forward to what's next.

    You can either focus on the critical comments you are receiving on one chapter or the uniformly positive comments you received on 35 chapters. Up to you.

    Beanie Babies

    starboardtack commented on Mrsgnomie's story chapter in Beanie Babies

    I had tears in my eyes during the birth scene. Beautiful. It sent me back to the day I adopted my son -- different, I know but in some ways the same. A perfect chapter.

    Splerm and cup-o-sperm? I almost hurt myself laughing. Thanks!

    Great transition chapter.

    No Escape

    I am betting it’s J’s father orchestrating the whole thing to drive him back in the closet and back home where he can be controlled.

    Thursday

    starboardtack commented on James Carnarvon's story chapter in Thursday

    Yet another beautifully written chapter. I know the smart money is on Reza being gay, but there also is a bit of hormone-driven teenage boy to this story. I mean, what kind of (questioning, horny?) teen would (could?) say no to Otto’s tender ministrations? Talk about making vacation memories. Reza will have a whopper! You are a consummate storyteller. Thanks for the joy of reading your writings.

    Such an incredibly tender and living chapter.

    Did I ever tell you how much I hate cliffhangers and curve balls? So now by way of penance, you have to post early! Bad author, no doughnuts for you! 😂😂😂 great chapter.!

    An incredibly well-written chapter. Simply perfect!

    Chapter 60

    starboardtack commented on RichEisbrouch's story chapter in Chapter 60

    So many stories offer illusions of life, a dream world of what we want life to look like, based upon fables and idealizations. Your work comes the closest to chronicling the real lives of real people — and you are doing a wonderful job of it. I will be sad when Addy dies, as one day she must.

    This story has been a joy to follow and this last chapter a total delight. Thank you for all of this. It ends with overwhelming kindness.

    The soup kitchen setting was incredibly touching — Jonathan showing Maddox a very personal and vulnerable part of his life.

    Chapter 8

    starboardtack commented on James Carnarvon's story chapter in Chapter 8

    I am struck by the gentleness of the interaction between Marco and Daniele. You could have played it up as skittish and tentative — that would have been the tried and true formula, but this is so much better.

    This was so spot on descriptive it made me really anxious as it brought up memories of my last two flats. And AAA "less than helpful" in both instances lol. Good story.

    Sure thing — Oreos and milk?
