    Magic

    Carlos Hazday commented on Carlos Hazday's story chapter in Magic

    Although CJ can act extremely mature at times, he is 15 and will at times act his age. You're right, he's a typical teen who'll pivot from wise to silly at the drop of a penny.

    Not my invention. LOL Living in South Florida, I grew up with most outdoor restaurants doing it. Kinda hot down here most of the time and warm beer's not what sweaty people want.

    CJ's as atypical as they come. Take an angry 15yo with a group of older, big men surrounding him, and his bravado will show. I'm sure knowing who would back him up if necessary helped.

    Damn! The pressure!

    Except when there are unsatisfied sexual needs. Then I want what I want and I want it now!

    LMFAO You do realize the last CJ story finished posting just 3 weeks ago, right? Anyway, Newport was the 3rd story in the Summer of '22 series within a series. (Sort of the same thing I did covering CJ's college years in 4 books. Capitol Hill is the 6th one covering the summer after Mexico. I'm skipping 4 and 5 for now but will return to them eventually. While those two will have implications for the future, they'll end up being one or two chapters each. The upcoming one's 5 chapters and conveniently March has 5 Fridays.

    That picture of Juan makes me drool whenever I look at it. With only one chapter left in Inked, we now return this thread to its rightful owner. Sorry for hijacking it, CJ. Coming in two weeks...

    Higher 7

    Carlos Hazday commented on WolfM's story chapter in Higher 7

    Wolf pheromones apparently have a stronger effect on humans than lycan. After the Shannon fiasco, Cassidy should be a nice, distracting summer fling. No way old she be more than that as long as she remains human. Let's hope she doesn't get so clingy they find her in a lava tube with her throat ripped out. Maybe part of her attraction is he has a foot-long instead of the six-inchers she's accustomed to. BTW, spank your editor; he missed a couple of things.

    Max, you should write your story using something like Word or Google Docs. Once you're finished writing, reviewing, and cleaning, then you can follow the steps for posting it on GA. As a new author, anything you post will not be immediately available since it must go through moderation. Depending on volume and time availability, that could take a couple of days. Once established, moderation won't be required.

    I think I've been around too long; I've read 7 of the 9. A couple of them more than once. Having written one and edited another one, I'm strutting around like a proud papa this morning. Thank you @Myr for the effort you put into this project.

    Daddy would take good care of a young, fit, hairy, hung--damn! Drool's making the keyboard slippery.

    I was momentarily distracted when Thad had a thick piece of meat in his hand... Based on personal history, no matter how well one does in school, there's nothing like practical experience. Pit River will benefit from his schooling, and Trev from real-life work. And after the fiasco with Shannon, let's hope he gets laid soon.

    Here are the inspirations for the final two characters in the story. Ryan and Juan.

    Embers 5

    Carlos Hazday commented on WolfM's story chapter in Embers 5

    I agree. Too many cliffhangers can ruin a story. As for how long readers should wait? Depends. I ended a story with one. It was solved in a different story for other purposes, but it didn't need to be to make that kind of ending work. It's definitely a fine line to walk.
  16. Carlos Hazday
    LMAO Yeah, I may have exceeded my initial plans. This went from a story about a kid being rejected and spending a summer discovering himself and his new hometown. Then I figured I'd write about his first year in DC, but I couldn't stop his school experience after his first year. And after I'd written about high school, it seemed natural to follow up with his 4 years in college. After that, it's been a free for all.

    Fade Away

    Carlos Hazday commented on Carlos Hazday's story chapter in Fade Away

    CJ's gone from a middle-class family to one without financial concerns. His fathers may spend money on him as if it was going out of style, but I'm sure they've had conversations about the risks and responsibilities associated with wealth.

    Glory Days

    Carlos Hazday commented on Carlos Hazday's story chapter in Glory Days

    The degree of acceptance shown gay people varies by country or region, and I think the Middle East isn't the most accepting area around. Religion has a firm grip on most of those countries.

    Ritchie will definitely remain in CJ's life. As for that ginger, here's a spoiler, he has an older, hotter brother. LOL Don't worry, you'll meet him real soon.

    Fade Away

    Carlos Hazday commented on Carlos Hazday's story chapter in Fade Away

    Wait until you read about a shopping trip to New in 2022. LOL Cesar and Brett definitely took shopping therapy a little over the top. But in a way, it helped cement in CJ's mind he had a new life and he might as well go with the flow.
  21. Carlos Hazday
    CJ will have moments of maturity and times when he acts his age. It'll be up to Brett and Cesar to rein him in if he goes too far. I don't want them to be helicopter parents, but they'll be involved in the kid's life. Forever. Just wait until you read about them when CJ's 30 instead of 15.

    Glory Days

    Carlos Hazday commented on Carlos Hazday's story chapter in Glory Days

    I got some grief from a few readers for that conversation. After all this time, I think it fits. One more example of Cesar and Brett giving CJ a lot of leeway on what he does and what he experiences. I had a friend about 20 years younger than me who often bemoaned the loss of a generation of men to AIDS and how guys his age missed out on learning from their experiences. This early in my writing, I didn't milk enough drama out of some situations. It means I reveal details and solve mysteries rather quickly. You'll get your answers shortly.
  23. Carlos Hazday
    I guess I haven't revealed those details yet (I can't remember yesterday's lunch, much less small details written almost 10 years ago LOL) CJ was born while Cesar was in college, so he's a very young father. Brett's younger and we'll celebrate his birthday in Chapter 19.
  24. Carlos Hazday
    You may be right. I tried to make the group of friends complement each other with similar personalities while making each one an individual. Hopefully, I accomplished my goal and everyone will have their own voice.
  25. Carlos Hazday
    You may have to stand in line! LOL I'm working on a story set seven years later and my beta reader was very happy Brett had a lot of dialogue during a dinner party. Anything from being proud of CJ for a verbal lashing of a politician in public, to going on a "search and refill mission" when a couple of martini glasses are nearly empty. I see Brett as the mischievous kid who doesn't entirely grow up. And some of his personality rubs off on his kid.
