    Well, you certainly made up for the sad beginning. I loved the revenge on Brandon. Great story - you made me late for work, because I couldn't wait to read it.

    You know you're just denying the truth. Of course it's Brad. And apparently Mark's mother knows how her son feels (unless she's only thinking he'll be devastated to lose his best friend). If she knows it makes her question to Brad quite intriguing. I hope Mark will come out to his parents after this, so they can truly understand his grief. So sad

    Chapter 16

    I'm glad to note the Danish ships were a lot more sensible than the French and Russians and did not engage Granger in battle. If Granger ever needs to fight the Swedes, he'll probably discover their ships are also made from 'fyr' which is pine wood, not fir, but still a softwood (conifer) compared to oak (hardwood or broadleaf).

    Kohen seems a little paranoid here, but maybe he has cause.

    Well, perhaps he does when he's with other dragons.

    Thanks, Sweet. I wonder about Gil's story too. I was toying with the idea of making him a bard. Perhaps one day I'll be inspired to write it. No promises though. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
  7. Oohhh, I can vaguely recall this story, and now I want to read it again. Great critique, @CassieQ
  8. Once you open the floodgates there's no going back. Even if the school tries to re-erect the dam, the male students will remember what freedom felt like. Hopefully they can request to have at least one day a week to be all male, and if not granted, I predict a revolution may happen. I'm glad they had this wonderful time, in any case.

    I'm talking about the way Buddy is behaving towards Andre, who tried his best to cheer him up and help him.

    Chapter 7

    Well, at least Kyle is finally standing up to Melissa and telling his mom about Brad's threats. Of course, Brad will now yell at Kyle for running home to mommy, but the reply to that is "OK, next time I'll tell your coach and the Principal and get you thrown of the team and suspended." I hope Kyle will let his mom keep at with both his sister and the school, I think she loves this kind of fight and she's a great ally. She is going to have a fit when she comes home and sees his wounds. I can't wait. The only good thing to say about Buddy is him trying to protect Kyle. The rest of the time he's a wet noodle and a sorry excuse of a friend.

    The Butler

    I'll do a gentle editor poke from time to time to remind him.

    Yeah, I had the feeling I'd borrowed it from somewhere. But as long as it works in my story...

    Now or Never

    Thank you, jfalcon. I'm overwhelmed by the positive response from everyone. Yeah, the blue dragon has been hovering in my mind especially after seeing all the great dragon images in @Myr's topic in the Fantasy Writers Club. I'm still trying to decide which one fits my tale best. I'm not sure I can take credit for the concept of dragons using sunlight for energy, but I'll have to check.

    oh my, such kind words from one of GA's best writers make me all bashful. Thank you for saying all those wonderful things. I loved that you focused on Terryn's self-exile, because when I thought about why a dragon would meet a gay prince, the initial scene popped up ready to write. Terryn is being selfish too, because he wants to have a chance to live honestly. But he also believes Marron will be much better as ruler. Since he cannot step down or explain why he should leave, running away becomes the only option. Mourning him as dead will be less disruptive for his family, and I hope he'll eventually find a way to let Marron know the truth.

    Now or Never

    Aaww, thanks, Def. I love reading fantasy and SF, but I never saw myself as writing any. But it was fun to do a short story, where I didn't have to build a whole world, only the bit sand pieces needed for the tale. The theme of dragons and princes was more popular than I expected. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

    Now or Never

    Thank you, AC, Coming from you that's a compliment of the highest order, since all your stories have evocative descriptions and images. You're absolutely right about the prince and the wanderer wow, I may have the title of a sequel here.
  17. Well that bow shooting sure came in handy. I hope he taught the grown-ups during the vacation.

    Rationality

    If they had been clever, they could have solved the running problem by starting a club. The Dawn Runners Club should have rules stating runners had to be silent, could wear no jewelry or scents, and failure to comply meant direct expulsion. If accused of being a male only club, they should have said: "Are you suggesting females are unable to stay quiet, that they smell bad without perfume, or have to wear jewelry and make-up to look good ? That's sexist."
  19. I just noticed the last encouragement : Don't forget.... Read, Write, and REVIEW!!! Shouldn't that be : Don't forget.... Read, Write, Comment, and REVIEW!!!
  20. Thanks, Jeff. I do the same myself when a new chapter appears on stories which are updated once in a while. I'm glad you enjoyed the reread, I usually do too. Having readers love the characters is a compliment all authors treasure. I'm hoping the summer holidays will give me some time for writing, but I thought that last year too.

    Chapter 5

    He did recall one thing from his life as a father. But it wasn't when the was with the Benoits, it was earlier with Giles. Maybe he's just being modest and doesn't want to say his family dinners and his behavior as a father compares to what he experienced at the Benoits. Or perhaps it didn't, and he doesn't want to think about his failures as a parent and spouse. I wouldn't if I were him. Recalling the good stuff and what worked and use it to make his new life better seems a good strategy.
  22. Thank you I'm unbelievably flattered by your compliments to my writing skills, because I started out writing porn, and only tried romance shortly before joining GA. It's not easy for me, so knowing my efforts are appreciated is a huge motivation. I really must get some more twin chapters written, since this story is far from complete. But I'm busy with work and other obligations, and I get distracted by reading end editing other GA stories. Not a very good excuse to leave my readers hanging and Ill try to do better.
  23. I'm so sorry I missed this comment. I'm delighted to have another fan of the twins and Denmark. Several readers have asked if I'm sponsored by the Danish Tourist Board. Did you check out the pictures and the info in the story topic ? https://www.gayauthors.org/forums/topic/39413-clueless-camping-by-timothy-m/

    LOL, yeah, I guess I did rely heavily on some well-known story elements, trying to mix them in a new way. By the reactions of you and other readers I succeeded better than expected. Thanks for reading and commenting.

    Thanks, tim. I'm glad you noticed the horses played an important part too. Just like in your post-apocalypse story which is a favorite of mine.
