Premium Promo Premium Promo: Negative Splits
Valkyrie commented on Renee Stevens's blog entry in Gay Authors News
I'm loving this story so far. Kyp is a very endearing character and I look forward to each new chapter. -
Great poem, Mac. It's a horrible feeling when you realize that your partner doesn't have the same vision of your relationship as you do. I loved the line: In my own ignorance, I couldn’t see that he was never going to be the savior of my delusion. There's hope at the beginning of the last two lines, though. "For a while..." I hope those sunsets hold color and promise again.

It's lovely, tim. Animals are such a special part of life. You could sub cats, horses, or whatever furkid in your poem. It's a universal sentiment. I miss my cats that have passed so much.

CSR Book Club February C S R Feature: Harry Potter Fan-Fic By Myr
Valkyrie commented on Cia's blog entry in Gay Authors News
I haven't read any of these, but will be sure to check them out before the discussion day. I look forward to reading the interview with the great and powerful Myr. -
I loved this chapter. Both men are showing their vulnerability, especially Travis. I loved the line about his eyes visibly writhing. He's fallen hard for Ben and it's nice how you show it with the tears and the sunrise date. Sunrise/sunset in the west is very different than it is in the east. It's so much more vibrant. I lived in Arizona for a short while and when I drove home from work there were many times I'd have to pull over to the side of the road and watch the sunset because it was so beautiful. I almost cheered when Ben said he'd stay. I can't wait for more. Well done, Mac.

Great chapter! I completely relate to Ryan's stress about academia. I had a lot of difficulty handling the stress of completing my masters degree. I was encouraged to go on for a doctorate, but didn't think I could handle it. I don't regret my decision, since I'm perfectly happy being a clinician vs. a researcher. I get the feeling that there's more to Ryan's story, though. I'm glad he finally allowed himself to open up to Erik a bit. I think Erik's solution is a good one, but I also think that Ryan will still experience the same emotions. Hopefully he'll be able to handle them better. I look forward to more!

I recently played a couple of games that I thought had a great storyline. Adam Wolfe Flames of TIme and Adam Wolfe Blood of Eternity. They are comprised of two 'acts' each and each act builds off the previous one. I didn't think the puzzles were particularly challenging, but I liked the interactive nature of the gameplay and enjoyed the story.

Vivid, disturbing imagery, yet so much is conveyed in very few words. I find myself wanting to know more about the relationship, characters, and the world they inhabit. But then again, I always want more when you write short stories. lol

I have no doubt there's clever mathematic principles involved, but there's a reason I went into a language-based field...lol Based on our recent discussion of Fibonacci, I'm going to guess there's something related to the syllable count of the first poem. But now that I see your response to Al's review it must have to do with the shape, since the poem is written as a triangle. No clue on the second one. I associate ENTs with knowing anatomy and physiology...no idea on mathematic formulae that may be used by them.

C S R Discussion Day: The Pledge By Mikiesboy
Valkyrie commented on Cia's blog entry in Gay Authors News
I am massively behind in my reading, but did manage to read The Pledge at the beginning of the month. I enjoyed it and definitely got the Anne Rice feel from it. It's a very large story in short story form. While I found some of the time jumps a bit jarring, overall I got the gist of the story. I thought the ending was very powerful and brought tears to my eyes. I've enjoyed everything of tim's that I've read so far, and his stories are on my 'to read' list. As has been mentioned already he's a great poet who conveys raw emotion into his poetry very well. My question would be: when did you feel the urge to start writing? Was it as a youth or did it happen later in life? Great interview -
It's beautiful, Parker.

You can do it! You are so close, don't stop now. You should be extremely proud of all your accomplishments.

I'm not feeling well, so am not up to an in-depth review, but I wanted to say that this is well-written and quite sad. A sense a little bit of Travis in this poem.
-
I binge-watched 2 1/2 episodes of "Emerald City" yesterday. The first one was 2 hours long, so it was really like watching almost 4 episodes. I really liked it. Think "Game of Thrones" meets "Wizard of Oz". I thought it was a great modern interpretation and highly recommend it.

Whew! I think I need to go take a cold shower now... Great chapter.
-
This interlude gave us great insight into Travis. I felt his loneliness and discontent. I think we now have our answer to the scar question too, even though it wasn't explicitly stated. I am surprised it's Travis making the first move, though. I can't wait for what's next. I have a feeling that Ben may not welcome him back with open arms. Great chapter. I'm salivating for more already!
