  1. I think there are hints of having written several stories over a long period of time, and that doesn't fit @Dodger - yet.
  2. I'm completely blank. It will be interesting to find out who this is.
  3. Thanks, Parker. I wanted to show how the people around Nelson and Eric are becoming one group of friends.
  4. Sasha Distan has written several western themed stories. Most of them are in The American Songbook series.
  5. The singles idea partly came from a CNN articles about six or eight girls who drove to the Prom together in a limousine. On the way they saw a guy from their year walking to the party on his own, because he was autistic and didn't have anyone to go with. So they invited him to ride in the limo with them and had pictures taken with him, which really made him happy. I don't know whether they had dates or companions for the prom evening, but I liked the idea of them arriving together in a group. You're right about Rob being Rob, now and forever. Thanks for the cheering.
  6. @ColumbusGuy I'm not a fan of the whole Prom concept, but if it's there it should at least be equal opportunity for everyone, including single people who don't want to bow under the pressure of having a partner. I'm glad you appreciate the presence of Jasper.
  7. You keep hoping, and I keep disappointing you. Sorry... But otherwise I hope you enjoyed the chapter.
  8. Thanks, AC. I love making you laugh.

    Intervention

    So Jaymes tries to save hapless guys as well as British forests ? I hope he's more successful at his daytime job, because Nathan seems to be determined to view Clifton through rose-tinted glasses. But Jaymes is stubborn and manged to get himself invited to the party. I can just see him fell Clifton if he tries to sneak Nathan off for a quickie.
  10. “Do you think we can do it again?” Jasper rotated a ball in his left hand and winced as Carolyn dug her fingers into a sore spot on his shoulder. She was standing behind him after offering her chair to Maria. The two girls were having their own chat, while Nelson and Tony listened to Eric and Jasper discussing baseball. “Our team will need to bring their best game. They almost had us last time.” Eric, who was sitting next to Jasper on the couch, pointed at the stats he’d printed from his lap

    Chapter 13

    Well, at least Lex will be able to judge what manner of guy his father is better than anyone else would. But I wonder if he has half siblings. I'm not surprised about the marriage at all. Ian wouldn't want Lex to drive off on his bike, because he thought it wasn't serious between them. Ian is clever enough to realize he has to open his heart first.
  12. i agree about Robbie telling Nicola as a defense against his suicidal depression. I think he's scared of what he might do and at the same time he can't fight the attraction of oblivion. Nicola will be his life-line and for once she can be applauded for doing what she is best at: sticking her nose in other people's business and telling them what to do.
  13. You may regret finding out.

    Chapter 17

    Well, going through the wall turned out to be a bad idea. They should have know the instinctive avoidance by the animals was a sign of bad stuff. Let's hope they can get out of the loop.

    Chapter 16

    You would have thought the King and his helpers would have learnt from their earlier mistakes that brute force, whether mental or physical, doesn't work on these guys. They always come up with a counter. And every event makes them a closer knit group.

    Um, I would have thought that the official pardon and apology for the wrongs done to Alan Turing in 2009 (by Gordon Brown, the prime minister at the time), would be fairly big news in UK, but maybe not. Plus later the government officially pardoned and eradicated the convictions given to gay men who had done nothing wrong in relation to modern law. But you're probably right that this only impacted those of us who already cared. I got tears in my eyes when I saw that apology hanging on the wall in Bletchley park.

    I can understand why Eric feels uncomfortable as a guest. Hopefully, he's got his laptop, so he has something to occupy him, when he is alone. And I guess it's less of a stress being by himself, than if the guys were around him most of the time. Brian did a good job of coming to grips with his own issues (with the help of his wife) and apologizing to Eric. But how could he not be aware of the sad history of gay persecution in Britain, with the Alan Turing film, apology, and law stuff.
  18. I think it's a little bit funny, because I believe crocodiles are much too clever to swallow anything they can't digest. Maybe it's a memento of the person wearing the shoe, before the croc ate them.

    Chapter 10

    I have the feeling the Order wants to become Serai themselves and are experimenting with blood transfusions or something. They'll need to be put down after they've rescued D and Ivan. Let's hope Nico got the correct way into the dungeon from the doctor's head, including the placement of traps.

    Chapter 12

    Absolutely amazing. And I'm happy you didn't skimp on Lex' preparations as most authors do. Just perfect.
  21. Well, at least some of the Angels in this story may be.
  22. LOL, well the next two chapters are with Val, so we should stay on schedule with once a week for now.
  23. Thanks, Kitt. Your suggestion in a comment to an earlier chapter also took root and is about to sprout. Stay tuned.
  24. @ColumbusGuy Tak min ven (I don't quote your comment, to make it easier for you to read the reply.) You have some very good points about auras, gender and Ayil. Unfortunately, I can't say much without risking a major spoiler. However, I will say only certain kinds of Angels get to chose their gender, and most of the angels in my A.I. stories are genderless (the white, blue and green angels). Cupids are born with gender, (right, Aditus?) and the Guardians have whatever gender they were as humans.
  25. I'm glad you liked it and found it with @Geron Kees help. I'll do better next week.
