This chapter was a roller coaster with the win and the party followed by the shocking announcement. We all hope Tony will be able to pull a rabbit out of the hat.

Helena is a kind and sensible girl. She'll make sure Ollie gives Todd the benefit of the doubt. I love those chapters with games in them, especially the discussion between the coaches and Peter's evaluation of the game with the players. Eric needs to stand up to the stupid sponsor.
-
This was a simmering chapter with the issues of Dave and Charlie, but at least Tood took the plunge. Now he just has to come clean to Ollie. I like Peter being devious and so focused on improving his team.

I think one of the reasons I didn't comment on this chapter when I first read the story was partly due to me starting to get annoyed with Alex. However, what he did here was pretty mild compared to the annoying friend he developed into later. Of course Deon's gobsmacker at the end was a major distraction too.

Sad but understandable. At least he tried, and Jim will be there for him.

Like father like son - in most ways but one. But on Christmas night, Santa will make it right.

I've worked my way through most of the Christmas stories, and I managed to leave enough comments to overtake you, Lisa. Ready to take up the challenge and catch me again?

It's a good story, but I felt there was some important parts missing. I keep wondering if Josh's dad is gay and that's why he broke up with his wife and why she reacts so badly when Josh comes out to her. There is no excuse for her, and that letter is like a knife to his aching heart. She should have sent it to him once he was settled and happy with his dad, not while he was still emotionally fragile and wanting to run back to her. Doing it now is emotional blackmail especially the wanting to be forgiven.

I think Ryan should follow his instincts and his vision and get out of the relationship with Jake.
-
I loved how they found a way to communicate, and of course body language worked wonderfully. It seems like the beginning of a wonderful relationship.
-
I liked the flashbacks, because it gave us some respite in the chill settling in our hearts over the tragedy. But at least they died together. The only downside to that may be that the murderer could escape justice. But I shall chose to imagine they got found out.

Right Up Until The Very End
Timothy M. commented on Bardeara's story chapter in Right Up Until The Very End
I don't think James is in love with Adam, but he does love him as a friend. I think the dream was a symbol of Adam having to say goodbye to his dream of them being lovers. The story portrayed the fear and anguish about the risk of loosing his friend, and he did save James' life. I liked that it didn't turn into a cliché at the end with James also being gay. Him being straight but aware and OK with his friend's feelings was a lot more realistic and satisfying, even if it's sad for Adam. -
I can't help wonder if they died together in the snow, falling asleep in their drunken stupor. But maybe instead of becoming snow angels, they lived and became boyfriends instead ?
-
That was an awesome story, but where is the rest ? I liked how both of them were honest and talked about matters even when they got upset.
-
Mason's betrayal froze Khayyam's heart, but his explanation and love may eventually unfreeze it. Whether they'll even be friends or more, at least he'll have put the incident behind him and can move on with his life. I know you can't edit Anthology stories, but I'd like to point out the Danish poet spelled his name Hans Christian Andersen with an e. It's a common mistake in USA, and it always annoys me. Swedes spell similar surnames with -son at the end, but with Danes it's always -sen. Like Viggo Mortensen
-
I think Eros persuaded the North Wind to or some other weather god to hit the boys with everything he'd got, because he was so fed up with all the arrows heed wasted trying to get Curt and Greg to admit their feelings for each other.
-
Enough to make the hairs rise at the back of my neck, yet somehow it wasn't a surprise. The bad feeling started the moment he got the phone call. Hopefully, his lonely heart will ache less at the memory of the call and the fact they had a wonderful time together before the end. I also hope James was out to his parents and they knew about Bryson being his boyfriend, or they may be in for several shocks when their son breaks down.
-
This is a Christmas story designed to make you feel good and get into the spirit of giving. It's nice to see a story with sensible, caring parents who try to instill the right principles in their son even though they spoil him too. Maybe they got just as good a Christmas present as Jason from Tommy's act of maturity.

Tommy realized the joy of giving can be much greater than the joy of receiving. I think Jason did well, because it can be hard to receive gifts and charity without feeling embarrassed or even resentful. But perhaps Tommy's relative innocence and enthusiasm made it easier.
-
I'd never read that story before. It was beautiful, but so sad. Yet somehow the end was bright in a wonderful way.
-
Such a sad story, all the more because it's the reality for too many kids. I hope Mrs. Taylor who took him back, as well as whatever department (CPS?) she was from, had a very bad Christmas and faced censure for letting a kid get killed like that. Why didn't they listen to him? But at least Ricky got to see his brother happy and knew he was never forgotten by him or by his foster parents.
-
This beautiful Yule Tide tale is set in an unspecified time and place where Christian faith and morals are slowly pushing out the old beliefs. But the village smith keeps to the Old Ways and laments how the new prudish ways forces him to keep his love of men a secret. And of one man in particular - the most unobtainable partner of all: a Christian monk. I enjoyed the images evoked by this short but rich story and I recommend it warmly on this longest of nights. Read it in front of a fire with a mug of something hot in your hand and feel your heart melt.

Tiny steps forward. Let's hope he can stay calm.

December Classic Author Excerpt: Tyler by Vlista
Timothy M. commented on Cia's blog entry in Gay Authors News
LOL, yeah, that was a great scene. I've managed to read the story and leave comments @Sam Wyer must be reading it too, because he just liked my comment for chapter 8.
