  1. It's not my first story, but it was my first attempt at romance. The first two chapters were written long before chapter 3-12, and the latter have been expanded and revised quite a bit. In the mean time I practiced by writing my prompt story and Clueless Camping, and with the help of my editors and betas I developed a lot as an author. So I'm not surprised you can track an improvement as you read. LOL, you're probably right about needing something to cool off when they really get down to it. I certainly did after writing it. Glad you're still enjoying the A.I team butting in now and then.
  2. Thnks, Albert, you don't know how happy I am to get praise for my dialogue which was such a weak part of my writing in the beginning. It's actually the reason why the first two chapters have very little conversation, and most of it was added when I revised the story for GA. I'm just as pleased you find the characters believable, even if I did indulge in a bit of stereotyping with John and Tony.
  3. Only promoted authors get their stories mentioned, but there's nothing wrong with a bit of self-promotion. especially a story already over 555,555 words.
  4. Which is a shame, since the one from this week is about sex in stories. On the other hand, @VampireMystic has recently left the most hilarious comment on the old one, had me
  5. holy moose farts @VampireMystic - that hit the spot. I feel the same, and serious self-promotion is not on my agenda. But I like the joking approach.
  6. You didn't feature Cia's successful Forbidden Love Challenge, either. @Cia deserves a lot of credit for setting it up. But of course, most of the stories are featured, so that helps.

  8. I just read the chapter again myself, and I guess you're right. Glad you enjoyed it, Albert.

    Chapter 1

    At least you always have some good parents in your stories too. I liked the idea of him simply leaving home and marching in the pride parade to make a statement. But a restraining order against his dad might have been prudent. But probably it would take an assault on him away from home to get that.

    Hmm, reading this again, I noticed Jany has tasted werewolf blood before and he knows about their ability to stretch. He's disposed to like sex with werewolves as wel as humans ? And I want to speculate a little about Anubis, but I'd better do it in a spoiler.
  11. yes, you did. It worked, too.

    Acquainting

    even hotter the second time around. Yum.
  13. Thank you, Albert I'm so glad the story keeps you enthralled. Yeah, @Kitt and other readers kept hinting about wanting to know more about the angel and the imp, so the finally got their own story (the trilogy connected to this series). But I can tell you Patrick's ESP is his own inherited skill.

    Chapter 1

    I like boys with good instincts and girls who're true friends. And I prefer hot chocolate to coffee.
  15. Thank you, Albert, you made me very happy by saying so.
  16. Yep, PWP is probably the best description for most of what I wrote before joining GA. But I did aim for well-written PWP.
  17. I did write two Valdemar fanfic short stories like that, starring Vanyel and his Lifebonded. But Cia said they were too graphic for GA.
  18. I admit I'm in favor of sex in stories but I respect those authors like Graeme who prefers to leave it behind the bedroom door. And the advice about writing your dream sex is spot on, but keeping it at least marginally realistic too is what I like.
  19. I was more thinking along the lines of Don and Sue having been told Tom has a girlfriend and thinking he's moved past the phase of curiosity and experimenting. So he can be a good role model for Robbie who's more likely to listen to his best friend from home.
  20. Aaww, thanks, Albert, I'm proud to bring happy tears to your eyes. You're quite right about sparks flying.
  21. Thanks, Albert, this chapter probably represents the most romantic thing even wrote. Hopefully, by the time you've read the remaining chapters you'll have an answer to your questions.
  22. Thank you, Albert. What a wonderful surprise to wake up to, including all the comment likes. I'm glad you're giving my story a try and such nice compliments. Yeah, Patrick had a long wait, but at least we met him at the right time.
  23. Well, it serves them all right for trying to surprise Robbie. Why don't they understand he needs to be prepared for things like this? He's had several huge and life-altering events in his life, and what he needs is stability and predictability and NO F****ING surprises, no matter how nice they're supposed to be. Even his stupid boyfriend does it to him: “I can’t tell you, it’s a surprise, but it’s gonna be a lot of fun.” Just STOP IT already, you idiots ! I HATE surprise parties and surprise visits, and I like to know what's going on, so I can either prepare myself to endure it or look forward to it if it's something I like (once I've had time to get used to the plan). I totally get Robbie getting stressed and needing to be alone in the garden to calm down.
  24. Don't know how I missed this chapter So I was a bit when today's chapter started with Alex being wounded. Other readers have covered most of the important matters, but I just want to point out how funny it is to have Robbie getting a little fed up with Nathan's incessant demands for sex. Put your foot down and suggest doing other stuff - like talking or spending time with Daniel.

    Well, Geoff may have headed his mother's friend off, but I have the feeling she will complain to his mom about her son being rude. Then Geoff will be in for a lecture bound to destroy whatever self-confidence he's managed to work up. I agree Tony should give his boyfriend the means to ensure he can help when needed. In his own shy way Geoff is quite protective of his partner, too. I have no doubt, Tony will want to move in with Geoff, but he's probably waiting for a while before suggesting it.
