  1. I love Iain Banks, he is the most wonderful author. Or was. The Wasp Factory, whilst not Sci Fi, has some rather interesting gender fluid elements to it, though they may not be obvious at first. I never fancied reading his SF Iain M Banks stuff, until I read you describing it, and now I really really want to! Damn, where am I going to find a spare 200 hours for that?

    Well, luckily for Kiorl, he knows people powerful enough to make those decision for him. Or at least, they can push him in the right direction.

    Thank you Jeff! I totally missed this review too - so sorry. I think the boys needed a little bit of perfect just here.

    Chapter 18

    Neither of them had the time to get re-dressed, but Kiaza had cleaned them both up with magic. He pushed the boundaries of Kiorl’s outfit in the sort of way the panther usually liked. Kiorl couldn’t help but feel exposed by Kiaza’s alterations. His shirt turned into a draped open fronted jerkin, and he was sure the slippery little snake had made his loin-cloth closer cut somehow too. Kiorl adjusted the set of his belt on his hips as they walked, and tried not to stare at Lahja’s back. He wondere

    The universe conspires against them even more than they do! Tension mounts on all sides....

    Chapter 8

    Thanks Parker! I like the idea of them colliding - that seems appropriate given the levels of stress, lust, and tension involved.
  12. I'd be ashamed to being related to them too. I've no doubt they've screwed him up more than a little bit.
  13. And you can do all those things with any standard word processor (Word, OpenOffice etc). And they are compatible with everything everyone else uses (editors, betas etc) Hudson - no different pen, paper, writing desk, ink, computer program, laptop, desktop machine, fancier screen, little writing nook, office, or anything else EVER makes anyone a better writer. Only hard work, dedication, research, the willingness to learn, and the resistance to keep going when one fails. Only these make anyone better - at anything.
  14. OK, that should have fixed it. Hopefully you'll all have notifications now.

    Chapter 8

    “Hey there, rock star.” Hrishi is waiting by the door; hands in the front pockets of his chinos, looking to me like sex on a stick. “That was a great show.” “Hey, thanks.” Most people left an hour ago. A few stragglers were being shepherded in the direction of homes, buses, and trains by the Starfish guys once we turned up the lights. We organised our opening group to help clean up and sweep the floor whilst we packed up our gear. It always takes way longer than everyone thinks it does to brea
  16. yeah, I’m not really sure what's going there.... might unpublish and re publish, see if that helps. being a teenager in lust is very tiring work!
  17. I promise at least some of these published authors are lying... or telling very good stories to themselves. Yes, my characters shout at me, really, really loudly. What none of these podcasts told you is how painful that is! Ever try and teach a full day of lesson to 11-16 year old kids while there are two guys right in the forefront of your brain, fucking in the shower and swearing at each other every chance they get? (That was how I met Marty and Hrishi). Any of those authors give you an idea of how hard it is not to say something wholly inappropriate when that happens? and never mind the fact that when this happens, you basically have no choice in what you write - you're just along for the ride, typing furiously and wishing you could actually sleep. Everyone's method is different. Your characters might be deeper or more thoughtful because they need prodding. Some move quicker than others, but everyone has the chance to get there. And yes, and Robert Rex said, we're all learning. Do not get Kitt, or anyone else, started on how appalling my grasp of grammatical concepts is sometimes. Do your thing - you're the only one who can. Life is far too short to be anyone else.
  18. What was it Chaucer said? "I will eviscerate you in fiction. I was naked for a day, you will be naked for eternity."

    boy is slippery like a fish, no? Oh, if there were words enough for all his and Marty's issues!!! But I'm not their therapist, they just chose to come shout at me. One assumes there is hope!

    Chapter 8

    Positive? Maybe, it's certainly a step in a direction of some sort. As for Hrishi being controlling... it's not like Marty doesn't want him to be. Rock star seems to love being told what to do. This story has been written and edited in full before chapters started being released. Mostly because I wrote it so damn fast (2 weeks and change). Most others are started, edited, and then we start releasing chapters once I have built up a buffer of six weeks or so.
