Timothy M.

I always find it a little strange, when I see his name written out like that. In Denmark we always call him H.C. Andersen. But well done on getting his name spelt correctly, I often see Anderson or other versions from non-Danes. Oh and my favorite SATW with HCA: https://satwcomic.com/costume-party (note spelling)

I feel very sorry for Ricky that his best friend is too scared to accept his love, but on the other hand I can understand why Matt is afraid to do so.

Great interview. I loved the story too, and enjoyed reading it again.

Yes, we all want the answer to that question. I guess the easy one would be: 'cause I'm straight and I don't feel like that about him' and the obvious one would be 'cause he surprised me'. But the interesting thing is why he had to ask himself that question.

Do I need to get my editor glasses on and check my inbox ?

Hi Page. I'm good, but on my way to bed, as it's past midnight here.

We have a saying in Danish: Hvis du ikke vil høre, må du føle. That means If you won't listen, feel the consequences. I guess that's what happened to G'dol.

No one objects to Nelson being clever and conning the Prince, as well as ignoring Parker's signal. The objection is that the British version of the story is that they were winning the battle, when the con happened. Compare the English Wiki page: The Battle of Copenhagen of 1801 (Danish: Slaget på Reden) was a naval battle in which a British fleet fought and defeated a smaller force of the Dano-Norwegian Navy anchored near Copenhagen on 2 April 1801. With the Danish Wiki page: Slaget på Reden var et søslag, der blev udkæmpet den 2. april 1801 mellem en britisk flåde under kommando af admiral Sir Hyde Parker og en dansk-norsk flåde under kommando af Olfert Fischer forankret ud for København. Selve angrebet blev anført af viceadmiral Horatio Nelson, som er gået over i historien for at have afvist Parkers ordre om at trække sig tilbage under slaget. I stedet ødelagde Nelson en stor del af den danske flåde, In the Danish version it says that Slaget på Reden was a naval battle between a British fleet and a Danish-Norwegian fleet. It does say Nelson destroyed a large part of the Danish fleet - but destroyed is not the same as defeated.

I'm glad the confrontation with the Fallen Angel made the Priest revise his bigoted views of gay men.

I'm glad R'feem appreciates D'gar's good qualities.

Well, I'm sorry Granger wasn't able to get to Copenhagen and prevent Nelson and Parker from attacking. But at least the Danes defended themselves well, and while Brits may consider themselves victorius in battle, we do not agree. Nelson tricked the Danish Crown Prince to order cease-fire. Slaget på Reden is still an important part of Denmark's naval history.

I will definitely give the story a go. Always nice when I haven't read the story in the blog review and get interested.

Hmm, not convinced about Ryan's mom just yet, but let's see how she reacts to Ben, and whether she respects Ryan's decision to move out and study choices. See, I told you Barney's cheating would be a major argument for Ben moving in with Ryan and Luca.

Well the whole Barney cheating Ben on the rent makes it much easier to convince him to move in with Luca and Ryan, otherwise he might have been to proud to do so. Hopefully, this means he can go to school together with Ryan rather than next year.

I guess the question is - where does the member title display ? It's not seen in chapter comments or on your profile, but it's shown under your name in forum posts like this one. The community reputation 'title' must be something different. I have the same 'Master Scribe 2nd Class' that you do. It must be related to the amount of reputation you have, since people with more and less rep have different titles (e.g. Grand Master, Adept).

That's a good point, but since they are completely unreasonable and lacking in understanding, I don't think it would make any difference. If they blamed Ben, Ryan could easily counter by saying they might as well blame Luca, since he was supportive of the idea before Ben was in the picture. Plus he should keep repeating the point about his friends being respectful of his wishes instead of forcing him to be someone he isn't, like his parents do.

Thank you very much @wildone I hope more people will check out both the review and the story.

I loved that Ryan not only said he didn't want to be a doctor, but that he also pointed out that his parents (mom) made the decision without consulting him. He needs to remind them about this a few times. But I wish he had told them Benjamin was his boyfriend, as this might have distracted them from the school issue. Him and Ben moving in with Luca is a great idea, he can get away from his controlling parents and Ben can get away from the bitchy hag.

I guess it's the best way to spend the flight time, but I hope D'gar will insist on them talking afterwards. S'brin is likely to assume that sex will resolve matters.

Well done, D'gar, and nice to see a Wingsecond helping his fellow dragonrider.

I wish D'gar would consider getting together with J'rud, he's so much nicer. But if J'rud is in love with him, and D'gar can't return his feelings, then it would probably make things worse.

Serves S'brin right if D'gar spends time away for a while. But hopefully matters will be solved by his green rising.

I'm glad for both Zalna and R'feem that Piroth flew her queen. D'gar is kind and considerate, and a loyal friend.

I very much enjoyed this story, and the ending was perfect, with a successful hatching to start D'gar's future as Weyrlingmaster.

Nice to meet Tristan and Ehren again and hear more about their life. Sad that Tristan's parents don't appreciate their relationship and Ehren's good qualities.
