Wicked Witch

I just finished reading this - An amazing story, truly deserving of being published (if I may dare say, it is gay fictions own epic saga in the tradition of Lord of the Rings) I came to love the characters, I cried along side them and felt like I was part of the story, watching event unfold myself - you've managed to make this world so real. I love how you've mixed science fiction, fantasy and good old human romance and emotions so well. It isn't happy ever after story either; characters die and not everybody finds true love. In some ways that makes it even easier to relate to the people in this story and their struggles. I started out reading this expecting it to be a short tale of normal length (I began by reading your small version which is broken up into chapters, before discovering the full story was already posted) and I was surprised and delighted to find it was such an epic tale. Kudos to you, it must have taken you an age to write this masterpiece.

Adam was just a normal eighteen year old, struggling with his sexuality and wishing he was just a normal straight guy who didn't have to deal with the rejection and heartache of coming out. To cope he has immersed himself in books and ignored his sexuality as best as he can; however on his eighteenth birthday he gives into temptation and then loses everything.

I must admit Foopy, that had my laughing out loud and almost choking on my drink when I begun reading that. I never thought of that song like that.

Thanks guys, and hi Chief and Finn! I hope you'll enjoy the site as much as I already am. PS: Shanaar - no fear, frog-ifying is so last century

Thanks again Andy. Thank you for the warm welcome! I like your term for lurkland - forest of lurkers. I'll have to steal that one

Thanks Michael.

Hello - I've been lurking for a long time, reading and loving the site but I've finally come out of the wood work and throw in the towel - I'm hoping to begin my first proper story soon. I've been a lurker of gay fiction for a long time - I've been inspired by people such as Nephylim, Cia, Jazcullen, NoMoreTears00 (aka MA Church) and Gweall who I all follow, and I really would like to learn to be a better author so I thought writing a story will be good experience
