I, for one, apperciate an honest review very much. It's difficult to learn otherwise. Some pointers to where a writer can improve is good. And even though you say harsh, I don't think you'd ever cross the line into being mean or hurtful on purpose. If someone doesn't want to listen, they don't have to. But as a lawyer, I've spent 20+ years having my texts dissected and criticized, so I'm almost completely at ease with that. Not everyone is. The anonymity makes it more difficult for me, though. If I don't know the writer, I can't know if this a newbie taking their first wobbly steps into writing or if it's a more seasoned author (who may have been a bit sloppy with this particular story...). I feel more at ease to review if I know the person on the other end can handle it. Or if I at least have reason to think so. Not always the case, as I've discovered once or twice... LOL

Phew... I was so angry with female Jayce, so to find out it was a joke was a relief! Would've been a truly shitty thing to do. Even if I can understand to some degree the falling for a person who would consider the true you all wrong. But there are limits to how self centered you can be.

Yay, guessing! I started my list, but now I must decide if I should go with my hunches and regard certain reviews as an attempt to mislead... Sneaky authors is nothing new. LOL

Wow... Their dedication to pranking is astounding. Maybe they can discover another activity to spend their energy on instead of jokes...? Things could get out of hand otherwise.

This goes to show talks given at conferences can be about just anything and people won't notice... LOL But I'm sure Oliver was amazing. I don't think math and art are that far apart. I find math in music and poetry. Also music in numbers (not really math).

Such a relief the best gift for his birthday wasn't a joke! From now on he can fool around instead of playing tricks... LOL

Lightning Tim! I look foreard to reading them but need more time. Will be fun to see the different takes on this.

Sitting on the bus, I gaze out the window, but I don’t see anything of the city whizzing by outside. It’s a lovely day in early spring, with the sun filtering down between the tall buildings and trees lining the streets. But I take no note of it. My mind is elsewhere. Subconsciously, I clutch the backpack on my lap closer to my body. It’s mostly empty. Except for… Reaching inside, my fingers easily find their intended target. I skim the surface, feeling again those roiling doubts about whether

Nice to see things can work out, even when you make a huge (unintended) mistake. All is not lost and an honest apology can mend even the deepest of wounds. Still, it's annoying anyone should care enough about other people's love lives to make it an issue...

I must say I started laughing when I read your motivation for reading and writing MM fiction. The reason is I have the exact same experience. For some reason, ordinary romance wasn’t for me and I stumbled across MM in search of something naughty to read on another website. Following another author here to GA, I’ve discovered that there is much more than sex to MM. Of course. Anything else would be silly to expect. For some reason I find that these stories speak to me in different way than other stories. Maybe it’s the slight taboo (still). Maybe it’s the fun in reading the works of emerging authors who share my love for writing as a way of expressing themselves. The part about women and MM is a thing I’ve debated with a dear friend I met on GA. He’s been propagating this and I disagree. I tell him “What’s hotter than one hot guy? Two hot guys!” I am submissive by nature when it comes to sex, but I have no problem admitting this to myself. Or others, should they ask. In every other aspect of my life, I’m very much the strong woman and have no problem being in control and asserting myself. So I have no suppressed wish to be either strong or submissive. I simply like hot sex. Of course, I can’t speak for anyone else and the story of the weaker sub being protected and loved by a stronger Dom has to be rooted in some desires. Although, I find plenty of male MM authors who use it, so it’s not a woman thing. It’s a human thing. Some of us dream of being swept away, some of doing the sweeping. When I write, I try to write people, not genders. That said, my work is of course the product of my being a straight, middle-aged female from Stockholm. Among other things. I started out writing just to see if I could and since then I’ve tried to challenge myself to write sex, hot sex and kinky sex. Since I don’t get turned on by women, MM suits me well in that respect. Also, I try to change perspectives and write fun stories as well as dark stories. Even here I feel closer to men than women. I have a hard time connecting to typical women and frequently miss the social codes when interacting with them. So men are easier. If I succeed? Perhaps. I have men reading my stories and they don’t complain (to me at least) about my characters being unbelievable.

Maybe it wasn't posted in the forum, but Sasha wrote a beautiful response to 562. Had me in tears... https://www.gayauthors.org/story/sasha-distan/givemebackmyprompts/6

Not surprising Toby needs to take a break from being big and mean all the time. And Tara is there to care for him.

Oh my... *fans self* My kind of demon, this...

Liam keeps going back to Alek, consciously and subconsciously. This should tell him he's not done with the man. What should he do? I'd say talking to him is a start. Maybe Alek thinks Liam has moved on and out of respect he stays away? Maybe they shouldn't start anything new, but they deserve better closure. Especially if Alek has finally come out. Then he might need a friend.

Happy birthday!

This was a welcome update! I've wanted to know the outcome of those proceedings since last chapter. Still, I get that sometimes there simply isn't enough time in the day to write. So finally they can be together. Dean just has to deal with his past and, well, present... But he has to do it.

Such a heartbreaking story. And still the line at the end brings a little hope. Life goes on. No matter how tragic or sad it seems at times, it goes on. By simply letting life take you one this journey, you survive somehow. One day at a time. One bowl of cereal at a time.

I'm giving Leon the benefit of a doubt and assume his hurt or anger is due to Marty not telling him such an important thing, since he considers them best friends. Then again, this might teach him words mean something. With his attitude towards Hrishi and perhaps other gay people, Leon hasn't exactly invited Marty to share his secret. Hopefully, he can learn something too and grow from the experience. I wonder about Marty's parents. Are they homophobic? He seems very reluctant to tell them anything, but this appears to be the biggest secret. I would love to have a lover sing to me like that. Just that closeness that comes from music is amazing.

Friday is turning into a real date night! They can join Mason and Brianna name at the movies! Such sweet guys... And they're naked!

What a touching story of learning to love and trust again. Difficult to get over a betrayal like that and also to have the patience ot wait. I foresee a lovely future for them and I wish them all the best!

Finding strength to face the world in the calm of the ocean... I've done that myself. A pool can do the trick too. Somwthing about water that just sets things right. Maybe I'm an unshifted duck as well...? LOL

Be careful what you wish for... It just might come true. It will be a difficult vampire 'life' for Ian if he won't feed from anyone else but bad people. marcus perhaps let himself be blinded by his allure and didn't fully get to know Ian before turning him. I wonder what the future will hold form him?

I agree with the rest. There are so many questions begging to be answered. I guess I'll have to hope for inspiration to strike again!

Even unlimited access to do whatever your perverted self desires gets stale after a couple of centuries... So to want to explore and discover new things is only logical. He's in dangerous territory now, wanting something more from his existence. I wonder what Thomas wants? Just how eager is he to serve his master? And why...? It would be interesting to hear more about these two. And the cat...

Instant family! Maybe Momma Cat recognises a pet human could be handy? Maybe she just needs someone to watcht the kids so she can have a night out...?
