Line 'em up and reel 'em in!

ohhh... new material, eh?The demons are a fun, sexy, evil, self-centered bunch of bastards, but I wouldn't change 'em for the world. You won't need to read those stories to enjoy this one, but I ain't gonna try and put you off.

thank you! That's a good compliment, but I didn't sell my sol - I just kept Nassau in love and clean laundry for a bit, and he was good for me forever more.

James and Peter are indeed involved - since Peter is another rectory officer. And I am a sneaky wolf!(a bit like James). Glad we've got you along for the ride!

God made Man, in his image; and He made him from clay. He baked Man in a fire so that his shape would be set, and let him loose upon the world. But God made other things too: animals, birds, fish. And he only had one fire hot enough to bake them all. Things move in a fire, they change and warp, and every good ceramicist knows, what you put into your kiln is not always what you get out. * Aki grabbed his fingers out of the door only just before he slammed his fingers in it, then growled as he

Children of God can seek sanctuary, protection, and shelter at any House of God; but what of those who are not? Creatures shunned by the Lord have only one option, and that is to seek out a Rectory Office and claim sanctuary. Aki is the warden of a quiet Rectory Office on the edge of the city, but it won't be very quiet for long.

I've always liked the confederate flag, mostly because as flags go, it is a wonderful design. And that up there is definitely fabulous! I hate the way that it is used to make people feel guilty for the wrongs of their ancestors. It's like the use of the swastika, a perfectly innocent symbol, which is now only ever used to make the people of German feel uncomfortable for the history of their country. In order not to get too political... people now should not be made to feel ashamed by actions in the past over which they had no control: we are not our parents. It's a good flag. Take it back!

well... sort of. she turns out to have no empathy at all and *spoilers in white text*>> leaves the main character to starve to death in a locked room after he helps her escape. This is only really possible because of the death of another AI android which makes NO sense, either logistically or within the film.

Why thank you Rex; I'm glad you are enjoying it! Frustration and hurt is probably about how Nathan feels right about now too.

Her was a far superior movie to Ex Machina. I agree that it is highly underrated.

Everyone is not necessarily super accepting... but at first glance and from a distance, most people assume Ashlee is a girl. And since Clem has a habit of taking girls on dates when their dates cancel, most of his less close friends and other rodeo folk wouldn't pay too much mind to that.

We were very unimpressed, and they got the explanation of the Turing Test wrong. However at one point they did examine the subject of sexuality.

What Malik thinks is generally a mystery to me and Clem... As for Ashlee, he is fabulously confident in everything he does,and that does have a habit of rubbing off on people.

you guys have such fancy tractors. Even the best one at the farm is made of swearing and bad suspension.

possibly. Also, credit where it's due - Nathan is fantastic in bed. Taylor is a busy guy, he likes Nate, and he wasn't looking for true love or anything; these thing just fall into a mutually beneficial routine. Up until now of course.

mostly now i am just giggling at the idea of a guy who owns a John Deere tractor trying to fit into Ashlee's wardrobe...

you just about said it all there.

I write about a lot of the things that would otherwise be called 'triggers' for myself, and plenty of others too I expect. And for me at least, this takes away from their strength, even if it doesn't nullify them.

yeah I'm making you feel bad for Nathan. He's a person worth love too - I'll show you that eventually.

oh you are all sorts of mean and hating on Nate. you don't really want him having a second chance, eh?

I'll still be taking that as a win then. Yeah, personally I never understood the whole "real men don't cry thing" I will whimper likeca lost pup in front of Marley and Me, let alone anything serious.

A case for child abuse by neglect and operant conditioning with bigotry? Sounds about right. I promise there is a man worth loving under all of that, I'll dig him out for you. As always, we appreciate your eloquent thoughts.

So here's my two-bits. Whoa, boy: throw is right in at the deep end of an inciting incident why don't you? Put the sledgehammer down Gary, my head hurts between the ears. These of course, are all good things. I like what you've done, and I have no idea where this is going, which is always a bonus at the end of a first chapter. The two guys seem cool, pretty rounded but not fully laid bare. Any issues around that can be sort of swept under the carpet, because it's your first time and I'm gonna bet at this stage that you're more aware/nervous of any potential faults than we are. Considering I spent the first... three years of writing, writing shit (and I count those years from when i start posting on the web, not what I wrote as a kid), you can colour me jealous. Ma, and everyone else was right, you write like you review, and you know what I think of your reviews. If you make me cry I'mma hold it against you.

Hubby wants to go and see "Man Who Falls In Love With An A.I. In A Box: The Movie" tomorrow night - so I'll be back with opinions, spoilers and scathing commentary afterwards.

but how's he going to do that? Everything in his universe in on that ranch...
