There is so much happening in this chapter a person would have to take notes to touch on most of it. I'll just grab onto a couple little pieces if I may. Are we seeing the introduction of Ace's girlfriend and/or Erik's boyfriend? We all know what a matchmaker you and that group of characters on the ranch are. And, is anyone less than attractive ever going to show up on that ranch? Could you have been any more obvious with the new ranch name? Did you have any choice? It absolutely fits as anyone who follows the whole story will come to find out.

Thanks, Cia for the format idea, @. I'm copying. @ Andy: I like Vampire stories, bring it on. And... you still have a computer able to read floppy disc? @ Nephylim: May I call you Nephy, too. I read folks calling you this all the time. You're on my list of authors I have yet to read. 'So many words, so little time' (I think that phrase used to have the word 'men' in it, so long ago). @ Podga: Perfect, another author to add to my list. You seem to be right up my alley. (No, that's not euphemistic phrasing) Stories in the age range of 40 to lower 50's (see profile - subject to change) are perhaps my favorite age group to read about.

Welcome to newbie-ville. You join the long list of DomLuka fans. I missed my grand opening introduction when I signed up but I would like to say hello to all the new folks that have joined. It's already been mentioned, but I'm going to remind you - This place is addictive! You might get thinner from skipping meals.

You said in your comments that you thought your story was a bit sweet. I would agree with you, but at the same time, tell you that it's completely okay that it was a little bit sweet. I don't need or want hard, biting, difficult, make me think or make me weep stories to read as a steady diet. I went to bed with your story and woke up with it, and a cup of coffee, the next morning. Thanks, it was just what I needed.

Chapter 10 More Trouble Is Coming To The Ranch
Ron commented on ShadowDancer's story chapter in Chapter 10 More Trouble Is Coming To The Ranch
Well, it looks like things are getting real complicated for the men on Big Sky, doesn't it? There always seems to be trouble with families and inheritances. Looking forward to finding out if its really the family behind this after all or that they've just decided to join in with the Sheriff to cause trouble. To bad the gay boys have to stay at home but I think you have got something cooking to happen at the house. -
It amazes me how easily I got caught up in these two characters. The cussing and cursing that was abundant in the beginning, not so much here, is not what defines them, that's good to know. It's the hard candy coating protecting the softer center. Marcus' father's comment was spot on. We don't really know how it is that people define themselves in their own heads, no matter how much we think we do, we just see the behavior. That Marcus didn't see himself as anything like his father but his father saw himself reflected in his son, is telling. Good job with that one little moment. Now those other, more 'exotic', phrases... Very inventive use of language. I must remember some of them for those, rare occasions, when I might need them.

It's almost always a great pleasure to get to read another chapter in the lives of this extended family of characters. I say almost in a halfhearted way truly. Although we have occasionally been confronted with some very dire events over time, getting a new chapter is still something to look forward to.
-
The ending does seem to be wrapped up rather neatly but it doesn't stop it from being satisfying. I still think much of Mark's behavior was self centered bordering on arrogence throughout most of the story. Not liking the character really. Ross on the other hand was probably too good to be true but I had no problem liking that character, at all. Besides wishing a slap upside the head for, Mark!, this has been a great pleasure to read.
-
I misunderstood. I thought that you were referring to the movie not the possible series on SyFried like I was when I asked what more needed to be offered to 12 Monkeys. Love the name you call the channel by the way, hadn't heard that used before. Your right too, it's gone to crap and I don't watch it anymore.
-
Mark is back in the doghouse again. Making friends with the very much despised ex-lover despite being aware of the fact he is very much despised is tantamount to betrayal. Even if the truth of the breakup belonged in a somewhat grayer area than Mark was led to believe, Ross' beliefs were no less true to him about the subject. Ross' feelings should have taken precedent over any ideas that Mark had about making up his own mind as to more than a working relationship.

OK, if you're going to get down to nails and tacks, I'll give you the first two. What's your beef with the cast? and is your cat laughing at me?
-
Difference of opinion, I liked the TV series. Don't get me wrong, the movie was great and I've watched it many times but the series did not take away from the movie. On the other hand, what more needs to be offered to '12 Monkeys'?

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you not one, but TWO Benedict Cumberbatch

That was rather conceited, compassionate and humbling all in turn. -
-
Oh. Yeah. I forgot about him. Mmmm.
-
And Mark is back to being a dick again. I understand the whole territorial thing. As to the views of the character concerning gay marriage, I used to feel that way myself but maybe that's a conceit of being young. You have all that time ahead of you. Mark is what, 25 years old, is out to anyone that needs to know and still relates pet names to dating women?
-
The humor worked into the story all along has been fun. And worth a real laugh here and there as well.
-
I thought Mark was a bit of a dick and then I didn't but now I do again. Make up my mind for me, will ya. I need vindication - should I or shouldn't I. Yeah.
-
I keep trying to decide if the character, Mark is a dick or not. Ross has basically been hitting on him since the door knob incident and Marks been behaving like a dick. Then something in the writing, like in this chapter, makes me think he's not such an purposeful asshole after all. Ross seems like one of those successful types that are used to getting their own way, mostly, and he's forceful about getting his way too. That the character also isn't afraid to compromise or apologize when required to do so, moderates his aggressive qualities. Top all that off with a physical description that makes him a walking wet-dream and we get... well, we got Mark having a shower. Good fun.
-
I could use about double the wordiness that I'm getting easily as I quite like it. But, the story chapters have been shortish from the beginning and the story has been interesting so I guess I'll just read along.

Everyone loves, Matt.

Something was Raging, that's for sure. Really one of the better sex scenes I've read. I didn't gloss over any of it like I usually do in a story. So, yeah, having Michael hesitate was sort of endearing but mostly understandable. Man on man is not his usual modus operandi after all.

My grandmother, from Kentucky, used the term 'flitter' when describing that particular part of the female anatomy when referencing mini-skirts, when they were in vogue. "I can't understand why those women would want to run around showing off their flitters.", she would say. I will say, that this was pretty believable writing. Within the context of the story, all the cussing just made since. As for the rest of what's going on, the dysfunctional relationship the two characters have seems to function quite well at the moment. Good writing, good story.

They certainly were hard to get through. What was it, a whole book to get through 3 days or something like that.
