Conflagration

Ok, so stuff worked out , nobody is angry at me anymore. This is going to be a short entry because I have to study like crazy for a chem test and a french test , but I wanted to do a quick update on my story. I am now officially an author on GA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The story I am writing, Incomplete Existence, can now be found on my website: http://adam.obproject.com Or on eFiction... http://www.gayauthors.org/eficiton/index.php That's all for now, Adam (Trilconoan)

yes, it is true I like to be unique and for me, I'm kinda lucky, cause I don't have many homophobic people in my life. Like, for instance my best friend jon, just told his parents that I was gay (with my permission) and as I suspected, they already knew

hahah, about that, I got it edited, AFTER I posted Sorry about that

Hi all. Okay so my previous blog entries haven't gotten much response, but I guess that is because of the lack of things I had to say, but today I have stuff. First, every week my AP European History teacher, who is probably the worst teacher I have ever had starts a new chapter by making all of us fill out these insane study guides and take notes on a 30-40 page chapter. The study guide does no good, because the questions don't make sense and the notes are just a pain. A while ago, we realized how useless this stuff was and also that she doesn't read either of them. In my last set of notes, I wrote "and the cows ate the monkeys" and in a previous study guide I wrote that a guy was the first person to travel in time to the year 12 from 2145. That being said, we decided to split these things. My two best friends and me do this every time. This time, my best friend, Jon, decided to include another of my friends. At about 11:00 today, I realized that I left my book at school and thereby had no way to do my part of the notes. I tried to get them from someone else and after a lot of begging, he agreed, but the catch was that I would get them late--at like 10:00. Obviously, this doesn't work, because everyone else wants them before then. As if that weren't enough, the friend who we included this time, did a crappy job on the notes and we had to re-do his section. It was about this point when everyone blamed me and started getting angry. Both people in the group got angry, and another of my friends exploded at me tonight. Jon has since calmed down, but he was pissed. I did get the notes from them, but they had to do them, and that can't be good because they will probably be expecting me to do them next weekend...which is my birthday weekend. On happier news, I finished the first chapter (its short though) of my story. It is entitled "Incomplete Existence." It is up @ http://adam.obproject.com. If you get a chance to read it, please comment here or email me, it would be greatly appriciated. At this point in time, the story does not mention anything that has anything to do with being gay, but never fear this is a major theme. I wanted to introduce the characters first. I would really appriciate any feedback/comments or people who just read it and like it. The following chapters will probably be longer, but this was my first attempt at creative writing, so it's new to me ~Adam

I'm fully aware. Thats just the first thing that people think of when they think of NJ. Don't worry though, the protag will realize he is wrong .

Ok, so I wrote more of my story today and decided to put a little of it here just to see what the reaction will be, so heres the beginning: --------------------------------- I hate airplanes. I mean they are boring, you always end up where you started, and the flight attendants are always complete bitches. Seriously

Heh, thanks, actually that was my first time out of the country, so it was even more exciting. You have an awesome weekend too . heheh, I have a story of a similar sort. We got attacked by gypsies!!!!! The one with a broken leg got up and attacked us for money :wacko: , it was fun though. Thanks and I look forward to new chapters of SOOTB too (awesome story ). Actually now that I think about it, if you wanted, I could send you part of what I have for like a review (if you have time) . I kind of made it a goal to make my first entry happy lol. I'm definitely NOT togther, in fact I'm really depressed, but another story for another time .

Ok, so I've been reading stories on this site for about a year and I recently started posting (very little). In the last two days, I finally figured out exactly the way that I wanted to write a story. It's going to take a while, but it will be up eventually. So, a little about myself. My name is Adam and I'm 15 (but my birthday is in like 8 days). Recently (within a year), I have figured out (for sure ) that I am gay. I had a period where I completely dismissed any thoughts about being gay, and then a period where I trully thought that I was bi, but I am definitely gay. The day that I figured out (for sure) that I was gay, I was reading Antigone for english class and decided to go downstairs and announce it to my mom. I was sure that she would be okay with it, because ( a ) she is a shrink, and ( b ) I had been probing her for information for the last 2 months. She essentially asked me if I was sure and gave me advice on coming out, but it was obvious it had no effect on anything. Later that month, I came out to my best friend, who I was fairly sure was not gay, but didn't have problems with it. He's definitely straight (he told me so hehe), but he's really good about it. Several weeks later, he coaxed me into telling another really close friend and her exact reaction was. and I quote, "Cool!" Soon after that, I went on a trip to France with some of the people from my school, and another friend, who I already knew was a lesbian came as well, I insinuated that I am gay, and she picked it up. The day we got back, I told the only male gay friend I have. And that brings me to tonight, when I told another of my friends. The coming out process doesn't seem to be that large a problem for me, because I go to a private school and discrimination of all types is not tolerated. So, thats a quick introduction to me. -Adam

Personally, I liked the ending. It made it seem more life-like. One of my biggest complaints of most of the stories, which I have read is that everything ends up so happy and so perfect...that it just isn't life. Can't wait for the sequel, Conflagration

Every time I read a part of this story that describes Rory's mom, I can't help but think how similar she is to my mom, with the major difference being mine is still alive (thank god). As I started reading this chapter, I predicted what was going to happen, and promtly started to cry. When I was finished reading it, I realized that the words used made it just that much more vivid and alive. Kind of redundant, but Wow....I am officially without words to describe yours. Thanks for writing Dom, You brighten our days. -Conflagration

All in all, since I try to find the good in people, I'd have to say that, while I do think the things Aaron has done in the past are near unforgiveable, they aren't quite there. That being said, it's entirely possible that Aaron feels so inferior that he has to do this to make other people feel terrible (i think someone said this earlier, in which case i'm not stealing, just agreeing ). If this were true, it kind of makes sense that Aaron would choose Rory, because he's beyond easy to manipulate. Honestly, I dispise Aaron, but again, I hope Dom gives us something so we can maybe hate him a little less. -Conflagration

It's entirely possible that Rory does go back, suffers a few days, and then decides that he wants to go to live in Arizona again. Rory has made it perfectly clear that his decisions are not final, and he reserves the right to, in one night, completely change his opinion.

As far as I can tell, the point Dom is trying to make is that Rory isn't too reliable as a judge of character. His opinions of almost everyone are always changing. He never seems to make up his mind. Granted, some events change his opinions, and rightly so, but he (and as a result the readers) aren't sure who we should trust. Personally, I feel like an idiot for ever feeling that Aaron was anything but bad, but that was my own stupidity. Fish, Conflagration

This is my first post and I figured I'd make it something about how these stories have changed my life or how I became a Domaholic from sentence one, but that would be a little too unoriginal. After thinking for a while, I finally came up with the perfect thing to say, the one word which my best friend uses randomly, just because. Here it goes....fish. Yes, "fish" describes the feelings I have toward the stories, which have grasped me and won't let go. See, I figured, eventually, after night after night (and day) of reading, it would leave me system and let me go. I now realize this will never happen and will embrace that I am a Domaholic. Thanks for the stories Dom( ), fully appriciated. Unlike what I've seen from reading all the comments and stuff about new readers, I started with DD, and then decided that I needed more and read the TLW and TOU. Honestly, I'm kinda angry at myself, because I read them in one night, thus leaving no more to read. Thank God for the concept of re-reading. Fish, Conflagration
