Yeah, I watched the one about sports bras, it was awesome! I started out in Harry Potter fanfic, myself.

Calling 50 shades BDSM is an insult to the BDSM community. The kink in that heap of manure is just what the author thinks BDSM is like. Started out as Twilight fanfic. But I respect what those novels have done, because they've opened the doors for a lot of people to get into and read decent erotica. My friend works in a book shop and she gets loads of people coming in and asking for recommendations for books like 50 shades, and that I think is a good thing. Means that those good BDSM and other erotica authors get a leg-up riding the shockwaves. (I like mixed metaphors, sue me.) Also, it means we can have awesome stuff like this:

Me too. Terrifying how many people reach fame who seriously don't deserve it. They're not clever, they're not creative, they just happened to be in the right place at the right time, or get noticed by the right people. Reality TV stars, bimbo bloggers, dull generic pop singers... I'm so bored with the lot of them. That said, there are a lot of clever, talented and interesting people on the Internet who get famous. Them I like.

I didn't have the pleasure of getting to know Vic, I only just got here. But I offer my sincere condolences to you all. I can see you all loved him.

Yeah, Freud is pretty iffy. It's almost only in America that he holds any credibility at all anymore. My high school psychology teacher took every opportunity to tell us how outdated and wrong about most things Freud was.

Matt's a sweetheart. The next story is about him and his first love... I think with Matt's help Alan can really become a better person. He's seen the consequences of his actions. All he needs now is for someone to care for him and accept him. I think Alan had really been longing to come out to someone properly for a long time. Matt provided that opportunity for him. I'm glad you enjoyed this story!

Wow... An experience like that would put anyone off sex. Poor Dan. I feel for him so much... Just wanna hug him, really.

I've heard the saying, women are doomed to become their mothers and men are doomed to marry theirs. Figuratively speaking. I dunno. My dad passed away when I was eleven, so I'm in the single parent situation. None of my boyfriends have been much like my dad, or my mum. I am, though.

I love quite a few youtube vloggers. I like Troye Sivan, Alex Day, Dan Howell, John and Hank Green and Emily Graslie. EDIT: Oh, almost forgot, Emma Caulfield!

Welcome, Lawus!

It was really interesting while I was posting Nemesis how many people told me that Alan was becoming their favourite character. It made me quite happy, because in many ways he is my favourite as well because he's so deeply human and makes so many stupid mistakes. He's insecure and lashes out, he's a bully, he hurts people... but that's what makes him so real to me. As far as character development goes, he's the one who has changed the most from the first chapter of Nemesis until the last. I hear what you're saying about the fast-paced narrative. In truth, Alan and Matt deserve a whole novel all to themselves. Maybe one day that will happen, but for now this is the best I can do. I'm overflowing with ideas right now, both within the Nemesisverse and outside it. It's kind of doing my head in, actually. Thank you for such a long and thoughtful review! I'm glad you enjoyed the story in spite of its shortcomings, and I'm glad the sex scene worked. I'm always afraid of making them too pornish. I probably read way too much fan fiction...

Alan was far too repressed to get to know Matt like this any sooner. Just imagine if he'd agreed to snog Matt back at his birthday party...

I personally think they'll be great for each other, but what would I know, I'm just the author. I really like the two of them as a couple.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this story! I am honoured and humbled that you've had so many kind words for me, and overjoyed that you've enjoyed it this much. It makes me ridiculously happy to know that people read and enjoy what I write. This story was a long time in the making, and it feels so good that it's faced the success it has. I just posted the first Hubris story today, if you're interested. Alan's story. Thank you, once again, for leaving so many fantastic reviews. You're an absolute star!

Yeah, I know, the B&B thing was a little... eh. But, I'm gonna call it artistic license and let it stand.

The first Hubris story was just posted, actually. Thank you so much for coming on this journey with me and sticking with the story until the end! I am so, so happy that you've enjoyed it this much! You're a star! <3

Thank you, thank you, thank you! You have no idea how much your words mean to me!

Thank you so much for this. I'm glad you feel I got it right. It was probably the most difficult part of the story to write, so I'm so pleased you thought it was good.

This is a collection of short stories about supporting characters and antagonists from my novel Nemesis. It's probably not necessary to read Nemesis to enjoy these, but if you intend to read Nemesis you should probably do so first, as this contains spoilers. Hubris can be found here. And the first story has been posted! Alan Summary: Finding out that the boy he's been secretly in love with for years is together with his best friend whom he thought was straight, leaves Alan Bradford confused and angry, and still unwilling to admit to himself or anyone else that he's gay. However, an evening in the company of Matt Taylor might make him change his mind. Warning: Contains a fairly graphic sex scene.

Part One: The Nick Problem Alan Bradford sat down under a tree, breathless and angry. He felt betrayed by his best friend. He felt betrayed even though Dave hadn’t known and Alan would never have told him. He couldn’t be certain of whether he had fallen for Nick Davis because he thought he was gay, or whether he had thought Nick was gay because he had fallen for him. Either way, it had been a couple of years now. A couple of years during which he had guiltily imagined Nick almo

I've replaced cutting with biting my arm. Hard to break the skin, but makes nice marks for a little while and hurts a bitch. Somehow feels more constructive and less permanent than the cutting...

I liked Norway, Denmark, Greece and Sweden, personally. Happy with Denmark's win.

Glad I found this thread, because I was meaning to start one kind of on the topic if I hadn't... I have a story in the works, as part of my planned Hubris short story collection, that contains sexual situations between a 14-year-old and a 17-year-old, and I've been wondering if this would be at all acceptable on this site or whether I'll be forced to censor it for publication here. Any thoughts?
