    It's strange that being open and honest with those who matter most to us is often so very hard, when it should be easy. I recognised Julian's nervousness so well. The fact that he prepared a slide show on his computer for a romantic gesture was so funny. He might not be a romantic in a traditional sense, but I think he did pretty well.
  2. And what a nice new profile pic!
  3. Well, we got some things sort of right! Also, when you mentioned the 35-millimeter, for a second I went "He's got a gun...?" Ha, ha! That would be a different story.
  4. Those were some good theories! I'm still hoping Christie will cave under mrs Shaw's displays of dislike and retract her statement. At the same time, I'm curious about Linc's backup plan. How will he turn this around for him to be a victim? Playing the poor run away card doesn't alter the fact that them having a sexual relationship is illegal. It might swing the people's opinion, but are US DA's so sensitive to that? Can they throw out a case based on that? As a lawyer I would find that very disturbing, even if it got Linc off the hook.
  5. I know the feeling of drowning in great thing to read. I sometimes feel like I have nothing to say about a specific story or chapter, but I try to say that I look forward to the next. I think that kind of encouragement is good too, even if I too want to say thoughtful things. The more you participate, the easier it gets. So just comment away! I can share the most outlandish theories on where I think a story is going, just to make the writer and other readers laugh. That can in turn spark interesting conversations in the forum threads.
  6. Who found a way to live in death... That line is very powerful. As I see it, Max and Horst managed to live surrounded by death and also to live on after death through their strong emotions for each other. A very beautiful poem.
  7. That was really creepy! There's something very wrong with Jason... Brr! First, I thought vampire, now I'm thinking alien. I think it's a very good prompt response. I want to know more, but at the same time the story stands on its own.

    Chapter 15

    Things are really coming to a head! I read this chapter so fast, it was so exciting. What will happen? I so want Talin and Dimitri to get their trip out if town, just the two of them!
  9. Well, I'm a lawyer and like to follow rules! So of course I had to do the stricter version. Seriously though, I find that by trying to write within the confines of a form, I get help to break out of my usual staccato form of poetry. So the prompts have expanded my thoughts on what poetry can be. I'm glad that back and forth came through. It was important to me to capture that. Thanks for your review! And for the prompt!

    Prompt 442

    Thanks for reviewing! As I told you in my pm, the word Duchess just put this particular story in my head. I had planned on writing something else, but couldn't resist. As for shy or not, I think we can all be shy or not shy given circumstances. If it's an act or not could be debated. I hope to be able to build my vampire a bit more and make his character believable. Same goes for my human. I haven't even named them...
  11. It depends of course what kind of story you are looking for, but a series of stories I really love is JAR's MetaWolf. A whole universe to immerse yourself in. Hot wolves, evil vampires, everything slightly twisted to keep us readers on our toes. https://www.gayauthors.org/stories/browse/list/?filtertype_6=series&filtervalue_6=71d05a90c6ba1be00f7e2f99948b58a1 So step inside!
  12. Thank you for such kind words. I wouldn't say I mastered it, but it was very interesting to write in this form. The language added to the experience. I also noted once more that translation is an art form all on it's own. Swedish and English are so very different, I almost didn't do a translation at all. Now I'm very happy I did.
  13. Thanks for reviewing! That one word finally made my brain catch on to what I wanted to say. I'm glad the poem seems to work in English, even if the form of Ghazal had to be sacrificed....
  14. Thank you! I don't know if it's better, but I think it's getting easier to get to the heart of what I want to say. The challenges really help to question my writing and hopefully make it progress. That scene is so powerful I was almost intimidated trying to do it justice.
  15. Oh, geee... Now I blush! It was crazy hard to write. Until I found the right word, motstånd, to base it on.
  16. https://terrylongimagery.files.wordpress.com/2014/02/man-in-a-box-e.jpg I'm trying, but he just breaks out all the time...
  17. Förenade bortom vårt sköra förstånd I våra kroppar kan vi göra motstånd Åtskilda är vi av tvingande makter Ofattbar ondska som vill förstöra motstånd Ett hat utan gränser söker här vår död Ett genomtänkt försök att förgöra motstånd Mina spruckna läppar söker nå din kropp I min viskning kan du tyst höra motstånd Utan att se dig, inte kunna röra Gör vi genom att trotsigt förföra motstånd Connected beyond our frail consciousness Through our bodies we can provide resistance

    Chapter 13

    Bryan! Listen to Eddie! Gah! Bryan's feeling of uselessness is really heartbreaking. If something like that happened to me, I would be climbing the walls too trying to do something, anything. Even though you usually can't.
  19. I'm not in the mood for gloom and doom tonight, so a little speculation on Emma might be just the thing! I thought about Prime's mother, but I just can't see Emma call her honey. And to bring out such emotion as to affect her accent? That should be someone closer and possibly connected to her childhood.

    Prompt 442

    Thank you for your review! I've been trying to play around with how we usually see vampires. This chapter was another challenge for myself and also an opportunity to show other aspects of these two. I hope I get more inspiration soon! It's so much fun to write!

    Prompt 442

    I was actually very satisfied with that sentence and that you would like it and read it like I intended, makes me very happy! I was afraid it could be seen as contrived but I decided to go for it. This writing really is interesting. I have a vague idea of where I'm going and then the story takes over. Fascinating! Thanks for your review!
  22. While I'm at it, I might share my thoughts on Emma. Although I'm still kind of thinking that prompt was an attempt to trick us, my other theory us Emma is related to Colt somehow. Why else mention the premonition? It feels like she has a role to play in this that is still unclear to us and I suspect to her. I dearly hope she isn't a mole for the vamps. That would be so sad for Seb.
  23. I was trying to be funny before, but the more I think about that question, the more I feel I want to address it a bit more seriously. Sure, the wolves were aggressive and Colt didn't stand a chance against all those scents, but he needed that as much as they did. I could feel his sadness over the possible loss of one or more of his wolves right to the core of me. That fear of being left again, being alone again. I wanted to hug him, but since Colt is Colt hugs wouldn't do. He needed those scents, those bodies wrapped around him. A last minute boost of their bond. Might prove useful in battle.
  24. I just read it, so I'm in mulling mode. However, if that's to take advantage of someone, sign me up...
