When an author is writing a love story, there are certain elements that need to be in place to give the readers that (for lack of a better term)...'gooey' feeling! Hehehe! If it was just a matter of getting 'Gorgeous Boy A' and 'Gorgeous Boy B' to kiss under the moon, and then go home and get naked...pretty much everything written would be classic. But as we all know, this isn't so. What is it that takes a random moment in these stories, and suddenly transforms it into this sweeping romance that people want to cheer for when they read it? Is it a special type of dialogue? Is it a series of circumstance? A certain level of struggle to reach that point (Going back to story pacing)? Is it just the description of a scene itself? What is it that makes it special? What separates romance from...'happy time' in these stories? 2 Boys kissing in one story should be just as romantci as 2 boys kissing in another, right? Something's gotta be different. Let us know your thoughts!

Hehehe, double whammy for me, means a double whammy for you! Awwww, you liked it! Thanks, dude! And believe me...the next two chapters will definitely bring things to another whole level! I've got wicked plans bubbling in the pot right now! And yes! LOL! Ariel's such a goofball sometimes! Hehehe, that boy needs impulse control! So happy that it made you laugh! I hope you like the next chapter! It'll be a fun one! And as for 2010....I'm hoping to do a few things that I've never done before, story wise. So wish me luck!

Hahaha!!! Hi, Em!!! :: Squeezies :: Hmmmm....let me see. What can I tell you about the events of this chapter? Not a whole lot, actually! Because I've got myself a bit of a 'framework' building here! Weaving tangled webs and all that jazz! And yeah, it took forever for me to post the new chapters! I'm rightfully ashamed for that! BUT...the goal is to get a few stories on a two or three week schedule tops. Which means some level of regularity again at long last. But that all depends on how those damn teen 'actors' of mine decide to cooperate! (Stares angrily at Derrick and Tanner for giving me problems lately!) Hehehe! Does Randy's mom know? :: Wicked Grin :: Can't tell ya just yet! But if all goes to plan, you've only got two weeks left to find out.I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Ps- I love you lots, too! ((Hugz))

Thanks so much, Drewbie! I'm glad you're enjoying it so far. And believe me, it's hard to write about too. (I tried earlier with "New Kid", but it was touching a nerve with me. Bad times.) But, hopefully, there will be enough bright spots to keep it from being depressing. Hehehe, SAD is ok! ut depressing might drive people away.

:: Giggles :: I've been trying super hard to keep quiet on stuff....BUT..... You guys might wanna see what 'Santa Claus' has in his special sack for ya the week of Christmas! That's all I can say for now. ('seewhat Santa Claus has in his special sack for ya'? That didn't come out right at ALL! LOL!)

Wow...I have to admit, I haven't added on to "MOTW" for a long time! And looking at my last post, it's been WAY too long! I started the next chapter a LONG LONG time ago, but I haven't been giving it the attention it needs. Thanks for the reminder dude. I'll definitely add that to my curret to do list. But yes...there's more coming. For certain.

Will it continue? Most DEFINITELY! I wouldn't have the heart to just leave it where it was. The new chapter is almost finished, and as soon as the recent updates are finished, the 'high school' stories will return with a vengeance. Including "Class", "New Kid", "Escape", Outside", Picture", "Jesse-101", and many more! Some have been waiting since the spring to be completed and posted. I've just been....a jerk about releasing them. Hehehe! I'm a harsh self critic, that's all. Especially if the last chapter didn't do that well. But I'm hard at work on the new stuff! Promise! Cool?

Hehehe, I don't usually 'name names'.... But the most 'recent' occurrence was this one on Nifty... "Pretty Monsters" http://www.nifty.org/nifty/gay/highschool/pretty-monsters/pretty-monsters-1.pdf And this is my story, "Pretty Poison" http://comicality.gayauthors.org/pretty/pretty1.php Hehehe, could be a coincidence, right?

It's always been hard for me to say whether I really 'believe' or not. Mostly because that 'what if' question always sticks with me. It's a bit of a fascination with me, I suppose. I'm writing the first chapter of a new story called "Agenda 21" for New Years Day, that I want to really spark some qestions, and combine the ideas of both a Biblical AND a man made apocalypse at once. With a few struggling survivors trying to figure out which is which, while trying to make it through the harsh times ahead of them. So wish me luck on pulling that one off. Hehehe! What is life without a challenge? Right?

I'm definitely loving the 'near climax' and drop method! Yes, very effective indeed. Sometimes that sudden crash and burn can really give the plot a real 'no holds barred' appeal, and it ads a sense of danger in the main characters expected 'happily ever after' outcome. Good point!

SO very happy that you guys are still enjoying "Savage Moon", despite the delays! (The next section is waiting for the "GFD: Crossroads" first chapter to be completed. If you haven't seen the preview I posted on the Library, it's the very first time I'm crossing the "GFD" vampire kind storyline with the "Savage Moon" werewolves. It's a totaly new story, with new characters and all, I just want it to live up to expectations. You know me and my 'weirdness') Plus I'm excited about the "Savage Moon: Lone Wolf" chapter, which is planned out, but I haven't written word one on it yet. THAT chapter is what a lot of folks have been waiting for! Hehehe, me included! So don't worry, I'll make it worth the wait. Promise. :: Nods ::

You know Nephylim...I think your idea for a vampire story would be really unique! I'd definitely be interested in reading that. It would be a whole different take on vampires in general. And how thrilling would it be to make them human with a particular lifestyle? Could be downright frightening if you decided to put that kind of twist on it. Hehehe! Don't worry Jonathan! LOL! It's already too much for you to put into your project! :: Giggles :: But it will be sweet to see you try to fit it all together! (Haven't read anything yet. Sorry, been crazy busy lately) And did you say soundtrack? Nice! Thanks Tiger! Much more to come! Believe me! More this Sunday!

The "Gone From Daylight" vampire spin-off stories keep coming! And there are many more on the way! Expect an increase in how many postings you get a week too! (I'm almost all caught up on 'other' stuff! Imagine that!) I hope you guys are all enjoying the new stories1 and please be sure to write the authors to let them know what you thought of their stories! This is the current list of spinn-offs in its entirety! And the ones I've read so far are VERY good! So check out any of the ones you haven't read already...and enjoy!

Hahaha! A bunch of stories started and none of them finished? It sounds like you're writing the way I do ALREADY! :: Giggles :: Just keep writing what you feel when you feel it. It'll come out perfect everytime. There's no rush, not when the payoff is worth it. Life gets in the way more times than not, that's why I just stopped 'sleeping'. Now....as for Neph, hehehe! THAT, my lady, sounds like a story in itself! When can we expect it?

I just wanted to let you guys know that I didn't go anywhere. Still lurking around between writing spells and all that jazz. I've recently been finishing up a lot of extra work for the many stories scheduled for the "Red October" updates. All "GFD" related story spinoffs going in many different directions, and expanding the "Gone From Daylight" vampire mythology to whole new level. So I hope you guys enjoy them, starting tomorrow! That's my chosen 'experiment' for the next few weeks, so wish me luck! Cafe topics and all will start again next Monday. Just wanted to get things in order as much as possible. (Not that I won't get itchy and want to change things last minute anyway, hehehe!) Take care, and I'll seezya soon! ((Hugz))

((Hugz)) Thanks so much, dude! I can't wait until you guys see what I've got in store for the next few chapters! Hehehe!

That's alright. I'm sure it won't be for everyone. Like I said, it's probably the darkest thing I've ever written, but I look forward to seeing how it turns out and how it goes over. After all, it took me FOREVER to get a lot of people to give "Gone From Daylight" a try too. About a month or so ago, when I was planning and writing down notes for "Agenda 21", I asked on this board and on the Shack forum if anyone believed in the concept of an actual 'apocalypse'. And through posts, emails, and in the chatroom...a vast majority said no. Some because they believe it's just a made up piece of folklore, some just couldn't imagine it really, some think that to be only a religious concept...whatever the case, most said no. So I wanted to write a story that was placed during a 'real' and 'believable' apocalypse scenario. It's meant to be a 'what if' story that makes people rethink their concepts of what's possible. That's all. Bringing a frightening reality to something that most people never think about. Overall, it will be a love story, just like the others on the site. It won't end up being some militant political rant on government or anything of the sort. The apocalyptic visions of the future are only the 'setting' where the story takes place. It explains what happened and why. Butt he story itself will be mostly about Noah and his love for Jordan, and how joy, love, and spirit, can survive even in the darkest of times. So when it's finished, I definitely want it to have a major impact in a sometimes scary way, but I also...it's a Comicality story. And it'll be about love and what really matters in the end. Ps- I'm glad you like "Dream Lover" too! Thanks! I'll be adding more in November!

Understandable, believe me! Hehehe, I have to admit that I have trouble writing women realistically sometimes, and I always end up making them tomboys or something similar. I also have a hard time writing caring father figures (Because I didn't have one). So that's all fiction to me. Also, I've got to admit to REALLY loving dark stuff myself. I enjoy pushing the envelope in that regard. I was experimenting a lot with it in "Savage Moon", Neph...but I think the NEWEST story I'm writing, "Agenda 21", to be posted on New Years Day...is, quite possibly, one of the DARKEST stories I've ever written. So I look forward to seeing how folks will react to it. I posted a few teasers on my library, if you wanna check them out. http://www.voy.com/17262/12846.html http://www.voy.com/17262/12961.html http://www.voy.com/17262/12962.html

I've asked this question before on another board, but I always wanna know what people think about it. Because I've always been fascinated by the idea of it. After all, what better sci fi/fantasy story could you POSSIBLY tell than the one involving the 'end of the world'? The ultimate end game. It's probably the most difficult thing to imagine as a reality, but the concept itself is amazing. The question is...do you believe in the idea of the apocalypse? And I don't just mean nuclear war, or global warming, or a meteor from space....but an actual, 'Biblical' apoalypse? Despite all of the concrete realities that we depend on and KNOW to be true...do you ever stop and ask yourself, 'what if?' I'm always curious! So let us know what you think! Even atheists have gotta question 'something'! Hehehe!

Hehehe, don't you folks start whispering now! That's between me and him and the man in the moon! (Makes me wonder...) Exactly what 'problem' do you guys think I had that Mark could so easily 'fix' for me? ::winks::

Just wanted to say thanks for the message! Hehehe! ::Chicago Mafia Whisper:: You know...for that 'thing' you said about that 'thing' last week. Not THAT 'thing', but the OTHER 'thing'. You understand what I'm talking 'bout? Hehehe, and it's fixed! Very true, fair is fair! ::Giggles::
