This link has most of it, but unfortunately not so much about football. And if he and his partner get married in US, will his husband then be able to get a visa to Australia, same as a wife would ?

Brad already did something about the lack of space for guests. And if Will doesn't charge any money for use of the gym, it's not a commercial enterprise. It's simply two guys renting a condo and inviting friends over to work out with them. All Brad will see is a steady stream of fit, handsome guys, which should prod him into doing something about getting fat. I agree Will might get one of the other condos set up as a place for family. How about giving it to JJ, who needs a place to stay / hide. He can then use the gym condo to get fit after his injury, particularly if one of the 'owners' is a licensed physiotherapist with sports injuries as a speciality. (to fluer med et smæk, as we say in Denmark) But surely you can come up with something more fun / outrageous ? After all we want to do better than Mark on Will's idea for pissing Brad off ! (I know it's not possible, but try...)

well, I finally managed to work some Jacob into the chapter to make it end on a good note. And it's a more respectable 5,700 words, but short and intense probably is a good description of this installment. It's with my editors, so please send good vibes to AC and Kitt. On to Victor's birthday present.

Tillykke med fødselsdagen waves Danish birthday flags at you

Let's play a guessing game: What is Will going to do with the condo below Brad's? My suggestion: set up a gym run by two hot dudes (who are in a relationship) and to get free membership you have to be good-looking gay couples. That should piss off Brad nicely.

well, unfortunately there's hardly any Jacob in the next CC chapter - so AC suggested adding him at the end, and that's what I'm struggling to do. I meant to work on it tonight, but I got distracted. And now I'm off to bed. See you tomorrow.

Yeah, sorry JAR. But I promise I will eventually work my way back to Rob.

aww thanks, Victor. Don't worry, you'll get your very own dedicated Nelson chapter as soon as I've wrangled the CC twins into shape.

LOL, I'm glad to tell you I'm almost done with tinkering with ch 12. Just the last part to write and a round of editing and I'll post it. Innocent and eager, yeah that's Russ, you know him so well now. I'm glad you like Jacob, I hope you'll keep feeling that way. Not saying that to scare you, but he's been shown via the rosa-tinted view of Russ, and thus seems too perfect, but I hope to make Jacob more real, more human as we go along. I like that you point to the twin's mutual need of each other, it's an important theme. To be continued...

There are probably a number of bad parents out there, but I haven't met any of them personally. At most they try to ignore the issue, which can be hurtful too, but not as devastating as those stories I read here and elsewhere. But I wanted to show a set of fairly normal and caring Danish parents, and I'm thrilled you like them. Of course I'm even more delighted you find the story convincing.

I very much doubt Elizabeth Danfield is behind this plan, but if she is her purpose is probably revenge on ME rather than helping her daughter. But since JJ never told Alex exactly what ME said or provided proof of how she acted towards him (Matt should have tipped JJ about the use of a hidden camera), JJ is partly to blame for Alex not taking the threat seriously. But I'm not too concerned about them, it's such silly drama. I'm looking forward to seeing Will's plans for Brad unfold, and I'm hoping we'll see Brad's reaction when he's told why his son wants him removed from his trusts. Wade is the natural choice as a replacement. I'm guessing Zach is under suspicion of being gay and want to keep a distance to Will for a while. But he should simply tell Will instead of hiding things. Oh, well, it's a chance for Will to show he's more mature and able to deal with relationship problems. Or not... But if Will hooks up with Tony, I'm gonna be totally

I think Isaac was clever to realize the change in Ty and believe it enough to tell his club. I guess Ty is being tested quite severely with the lack of interest shown from the AFL. If he can stay positive and a team player for the Leopards all the way to the final, he'll have proven it's not just something that happens when he's feeling good. But I keep fearing he'll have a set back due to his diappointment whenever he's reminded about the draft failure. Of course, if the Leopards can keep him and Jim, it won't be as tough to lose Deon and possibly Dave. And we want a third book of course and this will be more interesting if Dad and the brat are still there. So Peter did get the AFL job offer and accepted. Are there any VFL teams with female coaches IRL? Julie deserves the chance, but perhaps it's too early after just one year. I'm sure most of the players will support her, and if Will does too, she could take the Leopards far. On the other hand she won't have as much time for the personal coaching which seems one of her main talents. But she is also brilliant at coming up with new strategies during games and training and at motivating players (same as Peter).

All I can say is 'serves Alex right', I hope ME makes his life Hell from now on. As for JJ maybe this is the time for him to find something else than skating to interest him and fill his life. I'd love for him to casually say to the press that he's bisexual, that he and Alex had a threesome with ME, and she made sure she got pregnant, so she could gain control of her trusts and get a husband, preferably a noble one. That would be a lovely payback, and it would all be perfectly true. But I'm sure Mark (+ Brad, Will etc) can come up with something better.

sorry I was MIA I've sent the edits now (although I realize it's a bit late). And yeah, Colt does owe Sam special consideration after the first time he left.

Those two final lines from Silas and Chelsea had me cracking up, LOL. But I liked the way Drake acknowledged the fact that Ian is a responsible adult who cares about him and wants his brother to trust him. But even more so I love the image of Silas as someone who looks out for his friends and is willing to do anything to help them.

Thanks for reminding me of the Penguin Prompt, it was great. But I can see why noone has had a go at those other themes, I wouldn't know what to do with them either.

I've been saving this for a rainy day to cheer me up, but I have to admit it works just as well on a sunny morning at the start of a long week-end off. Sometimes the past can come back and hit you in unexpected ways, but at least it was brought up and dismissed at once, instead of being left to fester. That's a sign of real trust and love.

Noooooo, how can there be only one more chapter left ??? That means we'll hardly get any more time with Jonas and Lu than in the first version! And we're just getting to the good bits about dating and all. *pouts* But this was a nice chapter and I'm glad to see Jenny and her mother are supportive. I'm dying to know what Opie will do about Jonas' father, but not if it takes time and space from Lu and Jonas and Lu getting to know each other.

ehhm, I have the feeling JAR was hinting at all the nasty which will happen when we get the answers to all these questions a year from now. You know readers hunting him down with pitchforks and whips.

does this help ? http://satwcomic.com/national-personifications It's definitely Mor Danmark - even if we're represented by Holger the Dane in the comic.

sorry about that Victor, didn't mean to rant in you birthday forum Here's a nice satw birthday comic with a Danish hug in compensation: http://satwcomic.com/happy-birthday-norway (oh and in case you wonder why I'm always waving the Danish flag in my birthday greetings: http://satwcomic.com/evil-flag )

10101 will be nice too

?? who or what is Comsie ?

once you get to be the one chased around in every single forum you visit by a mob of hungry birds crying 'Rob! Rob' or the equivalent, you can whine about injustice! Edit: not to mention the use of Kittens !!!!
