  1. The journey began in Key West. Being the practical individuals they are, CJ and Owen didn't spend their time in the tropics just lounging. They mapped out their immediate future keeping in mind the ultimate prize. Thanks for reading and commenting.
  2. @Valkyrie I did say I had a story mentioning the Americans with Disabilities Act...

    “lake on saturday bro… dad says we can take the boat out by ourselves” Brion did not have to wait long for Caleb, his fellow swimmer on the high school team, to text his reply. “fuck yeah when we leavin?” Invited to the Olympic trials, Brion March Atwater and Caleb Ray Dresden had missed making the American team for the London games. They returned for their final year before college, recommitted to their sport, and looked ahead to the 2016 games in Rio de Janeiro. “got th

    Brion, a high school athlete, suffers an accident that changes his life. Surmounting the resulting difficulties is not easy. Ten years later, nearing his college graduation, he attends a presentation that once again changes the course of his life.
  5. A large monetary contribution could guarantee it. No refunds, though.
  6. I'm looking forward to hearing from Dark!
  7. Once you have a final version, you post it, leaving it unpublished. Share a link to it in the forum thread, and staff will do the rest. Piece of cake.
  8. It's worth it, Val. I'm looking forward to the interview too.

    Pints of whisky? Damn those people drink! I'll stick to pints of Guiness.

    There will be a resolution by the end of the story that brings relative peace. Brett and Cesar, along with CJ and Owen do visit CAMALA in a future story. Can't say more so I don't spoil it.

    The Suicide

    I may have a few servicemen show up throughout the story.

    There was a little fracas when he was knighted, but I can't recall details. He lived in Sri Lanka at the end and the controversy may have revolved around native young men

    The Suicide

    Suicide's fairly common among military veterans and gay teens. This was my attempt to highlight the former. Taking one's own life's often called selfish, but I think that adjective applies to those making the accusations. They selfishly want someone they care about to stick around but seldom know the real reasons behind the suicide. Having had friends and relatives try, and a couple of them succeed, leaves me sad they were in such pain they saw no way out.
  14. Once again, someone should feature this entry on the front page.
  15. Having just written a dinner party, I went to a wine's bouquet. Booze instead of flowers... that gives you a hint about how my mind works.

    New Candidates

    @Mawgrim Your memory's a hell of a lot better than mine. One reason I loved Arthur C. Clarke stories was because he included subtle references to fay characters. I think it was his story, inspired by the American Bicentennial in 1976, that mentioned characters sexual interest on a scale from straight to gay. Obviously, the fact he was in the closet influenced his writing.

    New Candidates

    My thinking was a bunch of randy, muscular men could find relief in the communal baths. Did she realize how close that is to a bathhouse? One thing that always surprised me was how Anne had women in leadership roles but riders were strictly men. At least in most of her stories. I don't recall if she introduced same sex couples in the originals or if they showed up in the later joint stories with her son.
  18. Guess my timing was off. This is the banner for my next story. It'll go live sometime next month.

    New Candidates

    I always wondered what the unsuccessful riders in a mating flight did. I mean, they're raring to go and all of a sudden nothing? Anne might object to what I envision happening. 😁

    New Candidates

    Good chapter. It explored some of the thread fighting peripheral activities while candidates trickled in. I want to say Anne paid more attention to the aftermath of fighting. You've done a little of both. Most e joyable.
  21. Can a mod feature this blog on the Forums page?

    Reading through comments again. I haven't paid a lot of attention, but the guy seems unable to catch a break. He gets his shit halfway together and health issues strike.

    Camper Van

    Never knew that. Very interesting. The one age-related item about singers I'm aware of is the significance many of them (maybe you gave us the reason) place on turning 33. Or maybe because that was the age Jesus supposedly died. George Harrison and Julio Iglesias I know released albums with 33 in the title. Anyway, I won't spoil the remainder of this story or related ones by telling you how Chipper ends up. However, remember use and abuse are different things. Hopefully Chipper will not fall down that crevasse.
  24. @Myr The original was groundbreaking and inspiring. After Han Solo was left frozen in whatever at the end of the 2nd movie, I realized they were filming just to get the sequels out to maximize profits. Quality suffered.
  25. Losing a sibling has to be tough. In the story, Liz may be gone, but she won't be forgotten. Trust me on that.
