  1. Having been raise in a strict Catholic family, I know the guilt that is felt here. It took me until my 40's to be able to be comfortable with myself and realize I didn't have to be "out" to all, but to myself. I no longer attend the Catholic Church though the core teachings of Christianity as taught by Jesus still are the bedrock of my own faith. They don't jive with the institutional church in all things, but I am very comfortable with my faith.
  2. Simon is gaining confidence slowly, but strongly. That he used his anger to confront Nadine was a positive step forward for him. I think we all see what's happening with him and Jeff and I hope the hour before the other arrive prove fruitful! Don't keep us waiting too long, please Drew! Tony

    It's not that Rosie doesn't support Simon, I believe. She has been brow beaten by Matthew as much as Simon has. It took a long time for her to stand up to him. With Niki, I believe she can learn how to be more supportive. After all, she is quick to reconsider when Niki explains things rationally. Great story!

    I'm surprised that Simon's dad is still paying for his phone though it is his only means of contacting him. He needs to talk to his mum and Niki about the phone situation!
  5. I certainly agree: Don's motivation is to protect his family. He has just allowed ignorance and prejudice overtake his reasoning. It would be nice to see if he has a change of heart if he realizes he's losing the family he thought he was protecting.
  6. Oh the intrigue you've created! Love it!

    This was a wonderful chapter. You've created wonderful characters - even those we dislike! They serve to bring into focus the issues that underlie the story and you have done it brilliantly. I am totally enjoying this story and your writing immensely.
  8. I really intrigued now about what might be happening between Don and Sue. Sue seems to becoming a bit more assertive. And Nicola and Daniel are aligning with her. Robbie is slowly maturing emotionally, though I do believe he will always have that streak of defiance as part of his personality. Nathan's honesty was admirable. Now to see how this proceeds! Thanks for posting, Dodger!
  9. Wonderful job of showing how a late bloomer goes through the stages of questioning and discovery and acceptance. It might seem a little to easily done by Mike, but I'm sure it wasn't.
  10. Very informative chapter in giving Simon's background. The bus ride was the perfect setting for the narrative. Just wondering if the schools in Great Britain are still like those portrayed?

    Wonderful job of describing and exploring gay teen angst - especially of one as introverted as Simon. I'm sure you will delve more into his layers as the story develops.
  12. Wonderful chapter! I always find it amazing that in many stories, a huge amount of money just happens to turn up to sweeten life. I'm still waiting for that to happen to me! And I've been waiting a long time! Tony F

    I just want to visit Casita Davenport for a short while...I'd even offer to do the cleaning just to take in the atmosphere! Great chapter, Carlos!
  14. Your excellence is showing once again, Gary! I love your writing. At first, I thought it was a bit creepy - almost stalking - until Trent explained how he "knew" Arnie. And he did! What a beautiful story. I do hope they appear in future writings. Kudos!!!
  15. MIke is slowly awakening and becoming comfortable with his inclinations. Good read.
  16. There are those who believe in voodoo, karma, whatever. Coincidence? Perhaps. Can we affect others by our emotions of hatred, hurt, anger, etc? If we can improve someone with love, why not the negative? Short story but it certainly raises a very important life question! Great job, Drew. Tony

    Weird Day

    No F'n Way

    Nan was special. I would suggest "Nana", "Nunnie", "Gran"... Tony F

    No F'n Way

    Only one question (for now): Blu tells Sage, "Nan can help you with that....I thought she was dead. Unless Sage communicates with spirits, I am confused... Tony F
  20. I especially like that this story is about a mature man rather than a young twink who falls in "love" within 5 minutes, etc. Great start.

    Stretching Wings

    A very informative chapter that has set up a new challenge. Thanks Eric.

    Great way to start the day! I am really enjoying the focus on Cesar and Brett! I wish I could enjoy the vacation they are experiencing! I couldn't afford the tax on the room rental, lol!

    Lisa’s Idea

    Nick might just happen to tell Lisa he ran into Ethan at the club and leave it at that...The burden would be then placed on Lisa to decide what to do with that information.
  24. This is a wonderful portrayal of a dual-life that is only 75% truthful. I do believe Seb will be (or may already be) hurt (if Alan has discovered Seb by this time). I hope to see a follow-up to this story...
  25. I want to visit Makarovia! Wouldn't want to live there in the winter for sure, but a wonderful place to visit!
