i have been checking in every so often hoping to see a third psionic corps. god how i love that story, i want to see more!

nah. comie has already said richie is not rage. thought that would be an interesting story line.

I read somewhere about you updating GFD every sunday? It's sunday and I didn't see an update so I was wondering when the next chapter is out? ps. i'm referring to the chapter past PaP2b, all that you have on library so far i've read =)

I got it figured out and posted my 2 poems. Thanks for all your help =)

any chance of you continueing the psionics story? Just asking cuz i really really enjoyed the first 2 chapters.

Its com's library i've been trying to post to. The same one that has the New GFD chapters. I'll change my status to author/reader and see if that wont work. I'll try that after work, i'm almost late now hehe.

Anyone know why when i post to the library nothing happens? I have posted two or three times now and they never get posted. Do the moderators dislike my poems? or did i do something wrong? please help =)

There are several things that can cause me to lose interest in a story. The first one that often causes me to quit on a story is when it stops feeling believable. All to often it seems that I find a story that has a great introduction, the characters are not only believable, but also easily related to, and it goes well, sometimes only for a few paragraphs, other times for chapters. Then something happens, normally to me its in the discussions between characters that makes it stop being real. Um, an example is like where instead of a 'real' conversation its fake, or unbelievable like when tommy talks to his friend ron and is like "ron, i know you like me, its ok, lets have sex". I know thats a horrible example, but then again i'm trying to represent just that. There are other things that can cause me to lose interest, but the lack of realism or believability is what does it to me the most. Comically, YSD, BM, DaBeagle, and several several others all have the amazing talent to not only bring the characters to life, but they make the stories believable and full of emotion. When a story has emotion and you can relate to or understand the characters, thats when you have a good story......if it has a good storyline, communication, and setting. The loss of one of those, or the waining of excitement/details/activity in a story can definately make one lose interest.

wow. I really am lost for words here. Just as you said it could never last forever, but somehow I let myself think it would. I think it is a huge understatement just to say that you have helped alot of us here comsie. You and I didn't email much, and I didn't post as much, but I still feel like you have a spot in my heart. You have, as ashamed as I am sometimes to admit to it, saved my life. Before the shack.......I had nothing. All i had were my thoughts and my pains and my 'dirty' secret so to say. You REALLY have opened my eyes and changed my whole perspective. I don't shout out who I am, or tell anyone besides my close close friends, but I sure as hell am not ashamed of it, or scared of it, all of which i was before I found the shack. Wherever life takes you com, just remember that you did help others. Your dad took 7years of your life away, and you've given hundreds of kids many many years of their life and future back, I have no doubt of that. I owe you more then words can express for what you have given me, and what will come of it in the future. I'm in tears as I write this, and I know we have another whole year, but its still sad to see you going, even though I think its for the better in a way. I want to thank you for all you have done for me......and that is alot. Lets make the best of this celebration then, i mean.....we still have 362more days together! -taylor

NK is great, but i really love GFD and Final Hour/My only Escape. I really relate to Final Hour, plus if i ever do decide to go out, thats pretyt much how it'll be *for the most part*. I enjoy all of his stories for the most part. There was one about brothers that i didn't like, but i'm just not into that. The rest are great =) hehe.

I must have missed the last few topics then, and I'm not sure why. I have posted to roughly 3 or 4 in a row since coming here after reading all of your stories *and now i come here daily if i may add, i love your site and your cafe*. One thing that stops me from posting, is that i don't quite feel in the same league as you guys. I mean you have ysd,taimu, myr, comsie, dabeagle, BM, and ALOT more GREAT writers here. All i am is a 16 year old reader, so i don't quite feel that i should be displaying my opinions, and often i don't.

interested? i check your site like 4 times a week checking up on that story! yay your working on it!

This may sound stupid but I look for a few things when I first start reading a story. Environment: I like to read about several locations, time settings and such, but if it is something i find unnappealing or uninteresting then that can end the story for me right there. Characters: I look to see if i can identify with them at all. Sometimes I even specifically look at their name. This is the part that sounds stupid, but if a story has MY name or my crushes name *dillon* then sometimes i will read it regardless if it is stupid lol. Realism: This differs if I am reading sci fi stories or fantasie, but for the more realistic setting stories I look to see if what is happening is possible. For instance; I was reading a story the other day, where the rules were bent and all this stuff cuz "we can see your in love" and that doesnt' work for me. I don't want a suggercoated story where everything is perfect and societies laws and morals are as open as can be, because thats not realistic

omg BM your experience with GFD is almost a mirror experience that I recieved from that story. Alot of stories have influenced me in a few ways, both good and bad. The majority of these were, coincidentally, comsie's. I have read every single story comsie has put on his site, and A few of them really struck a cord. GFD was the first gay story I ever read, and I think it really really helped me to stop feeling so alone, like I was the only person like me out there. The second and third stories I ever read were Final Hour and My Only Escape, both my com. These 2 had so much emotion in them they got me to cry. Now you may ask, how does crying affect my actions? Well i had kinda bottled everything up.....and Until those stories I could never let anything out. Crying about those, i was also crying about my own personal experiences with suicide and such. I hadn't been able to cry for years until i read those.....thanks sooooooo much com, you really and truly have helped alot of us. -taylor

I think that this answer can't be simplified to include all "heterosexuals". There are very different people in this world, homosexuals and hetersexuals included, and some are very open, while others are not. I have shown comsies sight to a few straight friends *only two......the only 2 i am out 2 actually* and they both were able to find enjoyment in it. However, I think that their being female might have helped. In todays society, atleast from what I have observed, boys are taught that guy on guy is dusgusting. Not just unappealing like I feel about getting with a girl, but truly disgusting, and thats partially where some of the hate is generated towards 'us'. Seeing as most of us have to evolve into our sexuallity, and often times keep it a secret for years, we seem to live double lives. I think this gives us far greater insite on alot of issues. This one included. Sorry if I got off on a tangent there, but I will sum it up now. I would venture to guess that while some heterosexuals, guys and girls alike, would find these stories appealing, that the way some were raised, to be disgusted at the mention of boy on boy action or loving interaction, would cause the majority to not find these stories as appealing, if at all. I can't think of a single person male friend I know who would enjoy these stories whom is not gay. I can think of a few who would tolerate it, and not get disgusted by them, but they wouldn't ever pick one of these over a boy on girl story. Just my 2cents, sorry If i got off of topic there a little. -Taylor
