Chapter two is now up https://www.gayauthors.org/eficiton/viewsto...0&chapter=3 Please let me know what you thing, good or bad. :ranger:

That is a very interesting theory! I like it!! This has got to be the best suspense/whodunit story I've ever seen! We didn't even know that one twin existed for most of it, even though he was in every chapter!

Congratulations Razor!!

I read it when it first came out, and have been a fan of Graeme's ever since. It was truly inspiring, and the best thing is that it has been long enough since I've read it that I will be able to read and enjoy it again! I didn't get a chance this weekend, but will very soon. And I certainly agree about Garret, who happens to be one of my all-time favorite secondary characters.

Welcome back Conner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you, even though I think I'm just a misunderstood lurker Goat...

It's up!!!!!!!!!!!!! http://dkstories.gayauthors.org/dreams/dreams-24.php This is a good one! I'll be vauge to to it being newly up (go read it!) but I loved the format and the method DK used of doing some stage-setting (just my opinion). I think we will be seeing a lot more of Roget! As for the cause of Garret being interrupted, I think it is the most portentous thing in the chapter. I am reminded very strongly of the beginnings of the Winter War between the Soviet Union and Finland. Thank you DK and Emoe!!!

Graeme, have you any idea how hard it is to use a pencil with hooves? Actually, my main reason for not doing it that way is that I'm an awful typist, and hate transcribing notes, so for me it's easier to just use a laptop. I have, however, jotted down quite a few plot ideas the old-fashioned way.

My advice is to obey your Muse, not your readers, and write what you feel like. (You know how persnickety Muses can be when not fed...).

Excelent! Captivating, and I definitly want to see Ch 2 ASAP. My only criticism would be which seemed a bit confusing. I'm very curious as to where you are going with this. What is Asher up to? This definitly gets the Goat seal of Approval.

A week isn't bad. A month, though, can be bad, as I've discovered when traveling in areas that don't have Internet access. I do take a laptop even if Internet access is unlikely, as I'm happy so long as I can type if something (such as a plot) pops into my head. Now why would you want to say something mean like that about sweet little ol' innocent me?!? Why I'd never even hurt the mosquito referred to in Graeme's signature line. Besides, how am I going to hurt you when you live clear across the continent from me? You could always get me via editing... You could mark every single word in a chapter in red! Or worse, you could leave some of my more embarrassing errors in place, such as in "The Muse" (Fall Anthology) where I originally had my protagonist hearing noses instead of noises. As for sweet little inncocent you, that's very hard for a shy, quiet, retiring forum lurker like me to believe! So who writes your stories for you? Since when do writers have to be sane? :wacko:

Happy Birthday, and many happy returns!

Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most.... :ranger:

OK, so my prediction will be off by a week, then? Nah, I was referring to where I said this

Good catch, Jan! I think I need to start using the new spell-check for posts!

I make it my policy to never offend an Echidna, so, between you and the mean Emoe, I'll keep my mouth shut and not say a word!

Oh, I don't know about that! I see that you are at the top of the daily top-posters list, yet again! What we have here, folks, is a new POSTAHOLIC! I predict that you will make your 2000th post before this Christmas!

Happy 21st Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And here I thought I could sneak past and no one would notice... Thank you Michael!!! I'm betting Graeme will make his 3000th post long before I do though: I keep seeing him at the top of the daily top posters list.

Absolutly, what Goat isn't? The person below me is drunk.

Graeme, thank you for those links, particuarly religioustolerance.org I very much liked their poing that there are same-sex relationships in the bible. I cound their analysis of David & Jonathan to be especially astute, especially on the translation issues. I also found their list of the other prohibitions of Leviticus to be excellent! a child to be killed if he/she curses their parent (Leviticus 20:9) all persons guilty of adultery to be killed (20:10) the daughter of a priest who engages in prostitution to be burned alive until dead (21:9) the bride of a priest to be a virgin (21:13) ritual killing of animals, using cattle, sheep and goats (22:19) observation of 7 feasts: Passover, Feast of Unleavened Bread, Feast of Firstfruits, Feast of Pentecost, Feast of Trumpets, Day of Atonement, Feast of Tabernacles (23) a person who takes the Lord's name in vain is to be killed (24:16) I personally find 5 to be particularly objectionable! Hi Knotme!! My personal view is that been that, if they do as Wafa Sultan did, then they discredit themselves (as Wafa Sultan did). If I can help then acheive some discredit, then I am delighted to oblige. I live in an area where christian fundamentalists and Mormons (usually even more conservative than the mainstream LDS) make up the majority of the population. So, I do end up in religious arguments quite often. HAve a safe trip to Oklahoma!! Hi Jensen! Take a look at the biblical story of David and Jonathan that I linked above. That certainly seems to be a positive portrayal of a gay relationship to me. Do you speak Koine Greek by any chance? I personally disagree that the biblical text does describe an specific act, because Anal sex can be practiced between men and women, as can most any other kind of sex that gays practice. Indeed, about the only thing I can think of that a male same-sex couple cannot doe that a mixed-sex couple can is vaginal sex, or sex for procreation (which are the norm for male-female sex). So, a logical interpretation of Leviticus would be that only those are prohibited (not much point, as they are impossible anyway, but still..)

Welcome to GA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyone who gives feedback is in my opinion especially welcome, becuase feedback is critical for Authors, especially new ones. It provides both motive and education (to help them improve). Speaking as one of the new authors, I can say for a fact that feedback is vital to me, and is one of my prime reasons for posting what I write. Thank you very much for joining us!

My theory is that Aaron is exerting some kind of control over Garret. Maybe chemical? We know that Aaron seems drawn to Garret's "Model" of clone. So, my guess is that Aaron was "created" as some sort of biological agent provocateur. Maseko's intuition seems to be picking up on whatever it is.

Hiro and Crew. Poor Hiro has it bad!!

Oops!!! That was in the feedback request, and so was added AFTER it was posted, and thus AFTER Emoe, my editor, had worked on it. Fixed now! Heh, I sometimes make minor changes after Emoe has edited, which is why I add the line in the editing credit "all remaining errors mine alone". BTW, everyone, as I mention in the credits, Emoe not only edited and advised, but thoguht up the title! (I'd been stumped). Thank you Emoe!!!
