    Chapter 29

    Been waiting for this for a while. Great chapter! Keep it up! Tell that Billy Chase kid to back off for a while and let the wolves come out.

    Chapter 30

    It's been sooooo long. Thanks for writing another GFD chapter. Personally, I'm ready for Justin to get his shit together, though. Every chapter feels like there is a massive fight scene followed by Justin loosing control. You'd think he would have learned to tread lightly by now. It drives me insane when situations need to be so obviously dealt with and the character keeps ignoring the solution. Not that I know exactly what the solution is in the case is. Other than practice. And Honesty. Honesty is always one of those solutions that seems like could help solve problems but characters are always refusing to use it. But now I'm ranting about things "in general" and not about this last chapter. I love your writing and I can't wait for more. I was little lost after not having read GFD in such a long time. I think I could use a refresher course on who's who and what is what. Has any one put together a list of characters and their bio complete with powers? Maybe an artist needs to make some trading cards.

    Yay! It's been SOOOOOOOO LONG! Here is a "wolf" song as a reward:

    EPILOGUE

    Great epilogue! I can't wait for the next book. Also, thank you for being one of the more consistent writers on here. I know there is a lot of pressure when it comes to writing and satisfying your fans, but on the opposite side, it is lot for readers to get so involved with a story only to have it delayed indefinitely. It's like giving a piece of your heart away and waiting years for it to return. Thanks for not running away with that chunk of my heart, Hamen. So far, that is.
  5. Can't wait to see where this goes, Very sad place, it's in, right now. . . . . . . . . . . And that's all I've got. Too tired to write much else. But I wait in anticipation.

    Ch 14: Chosen

    Oh boy oh boy oh boy!
  7. Great chapter! I always feel like there is a chance for redemption with any antagonist but Lance is really pushing it. What a dick head. Part of me feels like that was the true test of the Rites and perhaps that was the only reason Lance was allowed to take them in the first place; to test Sam. Anyway. Can't wait for the next chapter.

    Malleable

    I wrote this five nights ago while lying in bed. Like much of my thoughts, though, like much of my stories it never made it to paper. It never left my head. And now I find myself scrambling to try to piece it back together, to organize it that same poetic way it all seemed to flow from me at that moment. That moment when I was both too focused on what I was thinking and too tired from trying to sleep that I just never seemed to get myself up to write it all down. So I start again. If I jump arou
  9. Short excerpts of thoughts on my life. I'm not sure what this will become or what I will talk about. It feels more like an organized and focused journal than an actual story. I feel these thoughts are worth sharing, though.

    Ch 08: Empathy

    Yay! Romance! Or the star of it anyway. Great chapter.
  11. Um . . . Methodwriter85, did you read my rant? Lol. I thought I bitched enough about that stereotypical gay song. Great video, though. I suppose I can forgive you. Here is a newer one for you guys. Less of a explicitly "gay song" but definitely gay. Check it out:

    EPILOGUE

    *sigh* Hamen. You. Are. A. Dickhead! Really great writing and everything, but fuck! My heart still feels broken. At least you mended it a little with the last chapter. Can you maybe do a follow up? Maybe a chapter or two dealing with the passage of time and Charlie and Derek finally getting back together. I know it is not really necessary and that your current ending hinted at that "happily ever after" moment, but god damn it my heart hurts!
  13. Something form the 80's: I could keep going, but I won't. For now.
  14. A protest song:
  15. Here is a song from The Rolling Stones that you might not have heard: And a little Novelty: Some Country:
  16. A few months back I found myself listening to an old gay novelty song. I think it was "Uneasy Rider '88" by Charlie Daniels. Somehow I went from that to other gay novelty songs like "C.B. Savage" by Rod Hart and "Queer Things" by Ruth Wallis. I thought it was strange how easily I could laugh at these otherwise highly offensive songs. I started to wonder why that was. Why was it so easy for me to take them likely? I was also interested in finding out just how many of those songs were out there. That led to me looking for other queer songs. The serious ones. The non-novelty kind. I started to find a whole world of queer themed music that I never even knew existed, and that made me really want to share it. I felt like the majority people out there could only think of a handful of gay music, all of it cliche and most of it disco. And THAT really bothered me. I fucking hate disco. I can't relate to it. Why should I? I'm Gay and I'm happy about that, but if I'm supposed to just cherish "It's Raining Men" as the quintessential song of my people . . . well that just really sucks. Anyway, I started collecting as much queer music as I could find with the intention of one day blogging about it and sharing it with everyone I could. In researching the music, however, I found someone who had already beat me to the punch. J.D. Doyle. This man runs his own monthly radio show. I found his website Queer Music Heritage and I completely devoured it, listening to everything I could. He really knows his stuff. Through his work, I found a huge collection of music that I never knew about. Queer songs reaching all the way back into the '30s. It's really amazing. To be honest, the website is a bit chaotic and a little hard to follow, but if you have the time, you should really check it out. I think it is extremely important to remember this part of our history--all of our history, and not just that cheesy disco part that we are supposed to stereotypical like. Anyway, I just thought I would share. Check it out: http://www.queermusicheritage.us/index2.html Also, I spelled "Heritage" wrong in my heading. Shit!
  17. As many times as I have heard that song, I just never thought of it that way before. It totally works, though.
  18. The first time I heard this song, all I could think about was how amazing and heart breaking it would be if it were written from a closeted gay boy's perspective. I find myself wanting to write a movie based on that idea just so I can use the song the way I hear it.

    Chapter 26

    As much as I love the Gone from Daylight series, I think this is you better work. It never feels like you are wasting time, like you are adding any "filler" just for the sake of stretching the story out. That's saying a lot considering how long the story is, in the first place. I really like the way you handle Cyrus. There is so much truth in what he says and you know that he believes in it wholeheartedly. Every evil dictator has used the truth to their advantage in someway. It's the best way to control people and get them to believe in you. Cyrus skirts that line of savior and foe so well. I can't decide if I want Wes to dive deeper or finally find his humanity again, but I am ready for him to break free from that claustrophobic feeling of the "pack." Why do I keep reading your unfinished work? It's torture. I know it's been a year since you last published in this story, but please tell me you will keep going.
  20. I was seriously stressing during your entire hiatus. Thanks for picking back up the series. You are a great writer and I am really interested to see how this story turns out in relation to the first.

    Chapter 29

    I pretty much read this straight trough in a matter of days. I really love this series and much of your other writing. Please continue. The wait is torturous.
