  1. Morning, DiC! Hope you all have a good day.

    I know people who ended up living with grandparents after their parents passed away or lost custody of them. Whether or not it’s best practice, I don’t know, but I do know that in a lot of places they try to find relatives for the child do live with. I am, of course, operating under a bit of artistic license, here. Thank you so much for reading, and for commenting!
  3. I crawled inside The Sims this afternoon and stayed until now. It's nearly 4. I'm terrible. Going to bed now, though. It's good to see you both! Goodnight, DiC.
  4. Both. I do tweet about GA occasionally. But I think people on Twitter might take more interest if the GA twitter account engaged when tagged, say. EDIT: Also, follow me! I'm thorn_wilde.

    This actually happened to a friend of mine... His girlfriend wanted a Dom, now he is one, lol!
  6. If so, I could probably contribute. I'm on Twitter a lot, anyway, and already have two different accounts hooked up on my phone.

    It's funny, when I first started writing about Julie's family I was intending for Luke to be this stereotypical annoying little sibling, but he had other plans. He really surprised me. Thanks for reading and commenting!

    I'm happy to be back to writing it. Thanks for reading!

    Dude, it's like you know me...

    You have to remember that Daniel is a fourteen-year-old with a traumatic past and severe self-esteem issues. That still very much colours how he sees the world and the people around him, unfortunately.

    It does vary a lot from place to place, unfortunately. It would by far make the most sense to let Daniel stay where he is, but life doesn't always work out the way you want or the way that seems most sensical. Thank you for reading and commenting!

  13. Hello, DiC. Hope you're all having a good day! Mine started out none too great, but it got better.
  14. Bedtime for me. Goodnight, DiC.

    We'll see what happens, won't we? And yeah, it doesn't seem very likely that Daniel's grandparents are much better now than they were when their daughter left. Thanks so much for commenting, and I'm glad you enjoy my writing! ❤️

    I can understand that. They are his family, though, and they literally have a legal claim. Daniel doesn't want to go, but he feels like he's forced to and he doesn't want to put the people he cares about through all that trouble for what may turn out to be futile.
  17. I love audiobooks. I find I don't have as much time to sit down and read as I used to, so I listen to audiobooks on my commutes and when travelling. As for good queer stories I've found on Audible, Armistead Maupin's Tales of the City, More Tales of the City, and Further Tales of the City (the first and third performed by the talented Frances McDormand and the second by Cynthia Nixon) are all available there. There's also an audio version of André Aciman's Call Me By Your Name there, narrated by Armie Hammer who was in the movie. And I really enjoyed L. C. Rosen's Jack of Hearts (And Other Parts) which I got recommended on here somewhere (can't currently recall by whom) and found in audio version. If you like young adult stuff at all, I also recommend John Green and David Levithan's Will Grayson, Will Grayson. Those are the ones currently in my library.
  18. I feel good about myself today. Just posted a new chapter of Storms. I feel like I'm really getting back to writing!
  19. ...It had to be in California, didn't it?

    Thanks, Mark. Yeah, there are quite a few things yet to happen, with all our protagonists. The next chapter is one of Michael's. Thank you so much for commenting!

    I carefully unwrapped the rectangular box. I’ve never been one to tear the paper off a gift, always taking my time. Maybe it’s because I never really got many presents as a child, so I savoured the ones I did get. My eyes widened as the paper fell away. I looked up at Stephen and Lewis, who sat on the sofa facing me, smiling. ‘You guys got me a smartphone?’ ‘We figured it was time you had one,’ said Lewis. ‘You know, so you can keep in touch with your friends more easily. You could do vi

    Life goes on. Slowly at first, it takes time, but it goes on. And that's a beautiful and comforting thing.
  23. There's a place in Norway called Hell. Tourists find it hilarious. The train station is a tourist destination because it has an old sign that reads, 'Gods expedition', right above a door. Which means customs office, basically (gods = goods), but in English it becomes really funny and it's a popular photo op. Hell is actually a landscape description, one I'm struggling to translate right now. It means something that's slanted. It also means luck. There is, however, a ravine elsewhere called Helvete, which actually means hell.
  24. Hope you're both okay. Good morning, DiC.
  25. Evening, everyone! I've been out again. Two nights in a row, holy shit... I don't do this, lol. Went clubbing. Altern80s. It's a club concept with 80s new wave, post punk, synth pop and stuff like that. It was fun. I danced a little. Talked to some friends. Now home and getting ready for bed. Hope you all had/are having a good Saturday! Goodnight.
