  1. I'm biased by my love of the site so I suggest writers here. But otherwise I like Joseph Hansen, John Morgan Wilson, Christopher Bram, Nathan Aldyne and Armistead Maupin. It depends on what you like.
  2. Very, very well done! You flipped the script with so much finesse. Poor Chris being a pawn in this game. Things are starting to become clearer. Only one thing bothers me. Where is Eric and who will comfort him? I'm so worried he fell down a well or was attacked by a bear and torn from limb to limb. You know how fond I am of the scamp! Great job Addy!

    Chapter 14

    I really like how Neil and Liam are becoming the yin and yang of teens idolizing Jim. The guys are figuring out the boys dynamic. Really refreshing and interesting look into the nature of bullying. It's impact on both boys is being portrayed well. Poor Dave. He's still a mess. The convo with Ty, Karen, Ethan and Alex was hilarious. I was chuckling throughout the whole thing. Alex and Ty are such cad, or do I mean cards, or both! Great scene and that dialogue popped. Ethan and Karen really became their own people. Thanks so much Graeme. Great job!
  4. It was a difficult chapter to write given all i wanted to convey. As far as Peterson, his voice is so strong but it is awkward. He isnt good with social things.And i hope that using a kind of forced way of expressing him shows that. I try using idiosyncratic cues in characters to define them. Sounds like it makes him individual, which i hope is good. Thanks Carlos for the engaging review.
  5. It was interesting making Roy the needy one and Chad feeling he had to step up to the plate. Angus is intriguing. I like the big lonely wolves too. Okay. You twisted my rubber arm. Now i have to find someone for him? Yikes! What next? Thanks Addy!
  6. Haha! It is a long chapter but i didnt realize so much had changed!! You put it into a great perspective. Chad got a scare. Roy faced something hard. Wes surprised and shocked Peterson. Thanks Robert for the awesome review! Much appreciated.
  7. You're right about it being self destructive to hold onto hurt like that. Chad needed to step up to the plate. Let's see if he can keep it up. Thanks so much for the review Tim! Much appreciated!
  8. Be of good cheer Gary! Think of how far Roy has come. He's engaged in a series of relationships that are quite healthy now. Growth is painful. I hope you don't think this is a downer. This story is the essence of being ourselves. That means both good and bad. Accepting our own weaknesses is a positive thing as well. Thanks for the review! This story is a truly upbeat one. I swear!!
  9. That is truly high praise. I'm glad I can suspend your disbelief that well! Thank you Carlos. Peterson is evolving i think, even more than Chad and Roy. He's kind of odd, but I like him in a way. He's scared and I think this is quite new to him. I'm glad you're enjoying it. We'll see what's next!
  10. Okay, I couldn't have a Temple of the Gods smell like a week old used sweat sock. Well, I could have but I didn't want to. Haha! If that's your first complaint, I'm doing alright. Thanks so much Carlos! I appreciate the review.
  11. Oh good! I'm glad that subtle shift worked. Chad was pushed a little in the last chapter. Fear of losing something precious can make us braver than we otherwise would be. It feels good to read I made you feel good and cuddly! Yeah! Thanks so much Irri!
  12. The Island of Misfit Toys The first thing Chad noticed as he drove into the parking lot was the enormous pair of neon carnations sticking out from the corner of the brownstone building. One was a lurid green and the other lemon yellow. Painted on the side of the building was a stenciled script that warned, 'Parking for Wilde's Tavern Only, All Others will be Towed'. He was used to seeing those signs when in either Minneapolis or St. Paul where limited space was jealously guarded. Chad had
  13. Thanks so much for the kind words Carlos. Its much appreciated. The story behind the letter is coming up in chapters not yet written. Youre catching up to my latest posting which is in a couple of hours. The story of Silas will be fleshed out in two parts. I think. Still not sure. Im writing it week by week so who knows!!! Thanks again.

    That is very true. Thanks so much for the kind words Carlos. Im glad youre enjoying it.
  15. Haha! He's sober and clothed for now!! Our boy Peterson has a lot in store for us. I'm glad you're enjoying the story. Thanks so much for the review Carlos!
  16. I'm about halfway through and it's very good.
  17. i like guns too! Hopefully your animosity with Tyrell and Peterson will be eased. But, we'll see! Regardless, I'm enjoying your reactions thoroughly. I'm a bit of an instigator at times. Thanks for reading Carlos!
  18. Haha! Its oddly reassuring I can evoke such an emotional response. I'm glad you're still enjoying it Carlos. I'm having a blast with the guys.

    Rescue Mission

    Wonderful job with displaying poor, delusional Jonah's deteriorating resolve. The scene with Michael is so moving. I LOVE him. It flows with such grace. Great chapter Addy!

    Chapter 13

    You handled Neil's infatuation and the adult men's recognition of it brilliantly. It doesn't take a psychologist to divine the awkward crushes and exited utterances of a teenage boy. That was perfect. I also like the positioning of Liam to contrast Jim's position as a role model. Ty as a vice captain is interesting. We know he's also being watched from afar and this makes him more visible. Well done Graeme and thank you so much!
  21. Thanks Addy! I vacillated over the chapter title. Huk suggested An Affair to Remember. I'm not sure whether it's altruism or stark raging fear that drives these men. But, they are trying to be brave. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
  22. Hahaha! Im glad youre enjoying. I worked a couple of clubs with drag queens and even lived with a couple for a short time. I always enjoyed the camp and fun. Cant say i ever wanted to date one though!!!
  23. You will find most of this story is a roller coaster ride, at least i hope so! There will be more Garth coming up. Thanks for the sweet review Carlos!
  24. Thanks Jim! Im glad it worked. The next chapter is trying to write and read, though nothing bad happens. Not really. Our boys are all gliding toward their goal. I hope you will enjoy it. Thanks for the review! Oh, and there will be a first kiss coming.
  25. Hahaha! I'm so glad I moved you. That is a great endorsement. I couldn't ignore Tales in the City in a story that references gay signs and symbols. I would have to kick myself rather hard. I love that Peterson has become the guy who stymies me and intrigues me at the same time. I still don't know what will happen. These guys are dear to my heart. Next chapter will try all our souls. I am struggling with it. I started it early because it has obsessed me. Anyway, thanks Irri! You are awesome. I appreciate it. Cole
