  1. I had not started your story until a couple of days ago. What a great story. I only wish my partner and I had found the mentors that Peter and Tom have. Eventually I found a great gay mentor who was an Anglican Bishop. Pax.

    My Phoenix

    Oh so lucky to have Phoenix to grasp for ever knowing we can not hold it. These poems/essays are all so powerful. Thanks. Pax. Steve
  3. Happy Day and have a great year. Pax.
  4. Thanks for the topic and, like the reviews, it has helped me understand the subject more. Here at GA the interaction between writers and reviewers is more interactive than most sites. I really enjoy that. I have also speculated that this symbiosis may have been a factor in authors becoming so prolific that they overdose and disappear. But it is total speculation. I know I comment more here than other sites because it the feedback. That being said I , too am reading on a tablet or phone now and my reviews have become much more cursory or generic. Sorry but even this much is really hard to get off on this damn device. Pax. Ste

    Chapter 57

    I haven't posted much but wanted to add to kudos to your skill at selling football and also attracting us to your characters. I have been sucked in totally. It adds to my strong desire to visit Australia. Thanks for all your work and looking forward to the leap. Steve
  6. I can't wait for your new chapters to show up so new readers will find you and hopefully enjoy your writing as much as all us who have enjoyed all of your past work and are looking forward to more. Pax

    High Infidelity

    I started this on the other site but have been following it here too. What a powerful, hard, but well written story. Thanks for sharing.

    Chapter 28

    I think I wrote book reports on Hornblower books from fifth-eleventh grade. Having Granger back almost recaptures that feeling. Many new twists to assault us in future follies. Thanks Mark.

    Chapter 66

    Always enjoy visiting with this ever growing family. Thanks for another great chapter.
  10. Yay. So very glad you are well and back.
  11. I am not sure if it is true but it seems that more really good authors leave this site than elsewhere on the net. I wonder how much the dynamic of these boards is a part of that. It has been alluded to by several authors. For example writer starts writing and develops a fan base which encourages them to write more and more until they are burnt or their other life is affected. Dom, vista,C.James,Riley Jericho come to mind. Not sur how real this is or what/if there is a solution but like all I wish Mark well and hope for his return. Well and any of the others mentioned. Best. Steve

    Chapter 14

    Huum the obligatory GA cliffhanger. Hopefully all this brouhaha here will get the next chapters posted soon. I am hoping for I'm not sure what. Thanks and looks like a bunch of us will be waiting. I am glad the drama on GA brought this to my attention. Thanks for all your work.

    Chapter 9

    Yes. Even a vampire ending if necessary but if you are able to find another plausible one that is fine. After all we know the more common endings and some even know of endings that did work back in time. Guess I will stop commenting given this will be deleted shortly. Thanks as always for your work.

    Chapter 2

    Sad that GFD characters are less vilified than in this. Having a grandson on the autism spectrum makes me look at where I fit I that spectrum, or where my daughter fits. Maybe some day we will be able to see where we are in this spectrum. Thanks for bringing your considerable writing skills to this taboo.

    Chapter 65

    So great to have everyone back. It says a lot that like old friends we can pick up where we left off despite some time away. The rings are a great idea. The free radicals comment is disturbing. Pax. Steve
  16. Best thoughts to you on you and yours being well. Take care. Know you have done so much for us and we all wish you the best. Pax. Steve
  17. More Please! I don't remember commenting before on your detailed descriptions of the food. Interesting. But just a side plate to this fascinating world you have created. Hope to see more,of,the Abels and family. Thanks for hanging in when, I assume, all felt lost as a writer. You pulled it back so well. Steve

    Chapter 41

    Add some silent era organ music and twerel my mustache. What an example of Arbour at his best. Thanks. Steve
  19. Stars and Bars on top of Rainbow? Or filling in from both sides? Stay safe.

    Chapter 40

    So need to start by saying I kept looking for JJ in Greensborough this weekend. I guess he might be old enough to be a commentator? Darn. I get get nervous when so many people are doing well in a chapter. I even think the triangle may be ok for JJ. But you have a lot of plates spinning. Eek. Thanks again. Steve
  21. What a great chapter to bring it all back in a contained and focused way. It felt like Bart, the reader and maybe you were all being brought back up to speed. I am so glad to be back in this world. Pax. Steve

    Step 12

    Powerful well drawn and more real than comfortable. I can't wait for more.

    Chapter 35

    For some reason the opening scene had me thinking of a young J. P. looking at, shit can't remember who. Then J. P. was there being J. P. Zack, Will, and Clara seem to be moving into a better place and even feel that this counselor might get Wally there with the help of the Arbour gods if that is god's Will(sorry). Happy New Year all. Ste
  24. Oops.
  25. Your posts here across the boards make me suspect you could be a good J.P. Best wishes for the year.
