I've been actually thinking that, too...at times it seems like Dom is doing this to us on purpose, really. I'm just hoping he doesn't forget about it...or something. When writing a story authors can make mistakes. As Graeme mentioned, putting in a sex scene when it is not necessary is a mistakes that lots of authors make. I know it is a small chance but I do fear that Dom will not give us any information; whether it'll be in order to torture us with mystery (or just plain old lack of sex as a "f**K you" to the readers on Nifty demanding sex) or just because he would forget to put one in, I don't know (I'm thinking that the former is more likely, but who knows. Dom has left things out of stories that the rest of us readers wanted to see, although those things tended to be not very important). Well, I guess we will see. I love knowing that so many people actually read my wall of test, by the way.

I'm breaking my oh so long silence. I kept on reading the stories, but I haven't been posting for a while. I'm breaking it mostly because I think I'm the only one who's going to say that she wants sex scenes in ITFB and I feel like I have a damn good reason. Often times I'm an SOSSer...skimmer more tan skipper, really. Less so in Dom's stories though I'm sure I've done it in TOU. Surprisingly, I've been wanting sex in ITFB because I feel that the lack of it is hiding character informaton. To put it bluntly: I want to know who's on top! I know it sounds stupid. Shallow. Maybe something only a yaoi fangirl who thinks that gay sex needs definite roles would say. But that's not the reason. Dennis is a character that none of us know too well. He started out a mystery man that does not like expressing his feelings. He still is. Thanks to the fact that we're the readers we get more insight to his character than everyone else (other than Dom, of course). He has just come out of the closet (to us) as a person who is attracted to males but gay sex is new to him and goddamnit if I wouldn't like to know how he handles it. Does he feel like it is his "macho duty" to be on top? Does he not care at all? And how does he face this new experience? As far as I care, all of this could have been mentioned without a sex scene, but it hasn't been mentioned. I guess I just want the emotions behind the sex and I don't feel we've been getting enough of them, especially when it comes to Dennis. I feel that I could have figured at least some of it out if I knew who was on top (well, that first time...afterwards it doesn't matter as much). The way a person handles sex, especially when it's the first time with a certain gender, it is something important. I would have liked to see it. I would have liked to know more.

[Vlista] Unbreakable Faith: Chapter 17
MayaMys replied to GaryO's topic in Promoted Author Discussion Forum
Is it horrible that I was really really hoping that Vance would write a trial for Ian's parents? I blame Law and Order for corrupting my mind. -
And for the second time in my life, I get to anounce a Vlista chapter, and this is quite a lovely one. I'm very happy for Ian. Nevermind..I was beat to it by Gary O.

[Vlista] Unbreakable Faith: Chapter 13
MayaMys replied to GaryO's topic in Promoted Author Discussion Forum
So lately I've been giving almost every situation or story I've been reading a "Wicked theme", as in, a song from the musical Wicked that reminds me of the piece. For this one, it is most certainly "Defying Gravity". It's basically about how the main character, Elphaba, is breaking from the shackles put on her by society, and how she's refusing to let go of her ideals, although in the play she also ends up giving up on all the people who supported her (Glinda, Fiyero, Nessarose), and in this story the exact opposite happened and Ian defyins gravity with the help of his new family, his new friends, and his boyfriend. Yeah, I had to make the comparison. Maybe it's because Defying Gravity was stuck in my head all day long. But yes, I am shamelessly plugging for the musical...I do suggest that you guys check out some videos of "Defying Gravity" no youtube or something. -
This chapter was just....grrr! I'm a little sad that David lied about Odetta Grover, though it would resolve things more quietly, over all...though I have a feeling it won't go like that, and that Brian will end up saying that David killed Odetta or David will confess or something. Honestly, I don't want to see David get a bad ending. He deserves a good ending. Same goes for Frank and Oliver, but that's a given. I think that in the end I think that moving to the middle of nowhere, meeting a messed up family, and living out a horror story was good for Frank and his family, not to mention how much I feel it would help Oliver and David. I just hope they all get to live out the horror movie so they can have a happy ending. I'm happy this is almost over, cause the cliffies with this one caused profuse bleeding from the tips of my fingers (due to nail biting)....well, at least more then usual. Amazing work, Dom, and I can't wait to see what you will come up with next (once you finish With Trust, at least).

I have my school bag, and a tiny tiny purse that I originally only bought cause it was cute (I AM a girl, after all). I hardly ever use the purse, except for vacations, while my school bag has everything I need (which is, decidedly, not much). I tend to keep around the bare minimum, which is: My wallet with all my cards and money, my cell phone, my mp3 player, chapstick, sometimes eyeliner, deodorant. When I still lived in NC I also kept around toothbrush and toothpaste and a change of underclothes because impromptu sleep overs were quite common (they're not anymore..damn stiff Canadians).

I understand watching it in a hospital. I mean, in the Chidren's section there are a lot of very bored teenagers...what will they do, other then watch Friends? I assume prison is boring, too....as for oil rigs...I'm not sure. Maybe in Thailand...

[Vlista] Unbreakable Faith: Chapter 11
MayaMys replied to GaryO's topic in Promoted Author Discussion Forum
Mmmm...Ian will be given the gift of the internet. How loverly. (That was partially sarcastic, considering the net can sometimes be an addiction, but my gods will it be good for his curiousity. I can't imagine how happy he'll be when he discovers Wikipedia...and GA, of course). Nothing else for me to say... It's too good for commentary (both quality wise, and situation wise). -
There was never a woman I hated as much as I hate Mary Martin. I hate her more then I hate Brian Martin. Brian Martin is one of those characters that I can say is truely evil, so it doesn't matter how I feel about him. He's not human. Mary is just....augh. I can't stand her. I find myself wanting it to have been Oliver that killed her, honestly, though I know that it's most likely that it was Brian. As to what will happen next? I can't guess. I don't want to. I just want to say that this is Dom's most compelling piece of work, and one that I believe deserves getting published. I say: Dom, take this off the web, and send it to a publisher, because if they don't want it, they're retarded. This story is not like Dom's other stories. It does not have a "gay is okay" ,"abuse is bad, and no one deserves it" or even an "accept your family" moral to it. This one is a thriller that make you think about how far a person can go while being manipulated. It shows how disgusting human beings can really be, and if anything, it's a bit of a downer. It's also a future New York Times best seller, if Dom gives it the chance to be. I do understand that after having a story published online, getting someone to actually license and publish it would be harder. I just have to say: Dom deserves making a living out of his writing.

Why, oh why couldn't you say Ryan Ross? Heh...well, kiss Tyson Ritter, cause despite being not as hot as Wentz, I still want him alive. Marry Brandon cause he's bloody awesome, and push Pete Wentz cause Fallout Boy annoy me.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/conte...6110500996.html The above article is about the Pride Parade in Jerusalem, Israel. Many religious, and even some secular Jews are against the parade, and with the Orthodox Jews, many went as far as burning trashcans in the streets and rioting. People have already been hurt, and the parade hasn't happened yet. Horrid, isn't it? As to whether the pride will actually take place? Equal chances of it happening, and it not happening. The amount of officers needed to protect the marchers is huge (about half of all officers in Israel), and let's face it..the rest of the country needs the police, too. I'm Israeli, though I live in Canada right now, and as a huge gay rights supporter I think that it'll be best if the march goes on, though I don't want people to get hurt (though I understand that it's probably inevitable that someone will get hurt). So yeah, that's an issue. But there is another one: Isn't Jerusalem a holy city for three religions that so far have condemened homosexuality? (though I have to admit that the main religion I'm considering is Judaism). Wouldn't this be similar, in a way, to having a pride march in Vatican City, or Meccha? Something like that would be incridibly offensive to followers of those religions, and will, in a way, make those holy places unpure and dirty, by glorifying something that goes clearly against those religions. Do we, as the "gay community" have the right to impose like that, despite the fact that Jerusalem also has a large secular population? So yeah, lets talk about both these problems. 1) Should the pride parade take place despite the risks? and 2) Should there be a pride parade in a holy city such as Jerusalem?

Naruto is one of those shows that got on my nerves really really quickly. Then again, I'm not much of a fan of the shounen genre, so maybe I don't have that much of a right to really talk against Naruto. Give me a nice ol' psychological anime (Paranoia Agent, anyone?), or a some funny shoujo (Ouran High School Host Club, Kyou Kara Maou!), or cute BL (We are on GA after all) and I'll be a happy camper.
