Well, I never doubted Leon. They just needed to clear the air. And look how well that turned out! Everyone happy and focused, ready to play better than ever. Still curious about Marty's parents though. Who are these people?

Very shrewd! And I'm not really any authority on writing. I have opinions though. Anyone interested can always get a complete and honest review.

Now that was a special bunch... I got curious about them, but I guess it's a tease this one. Still good, even if the name shifts had me going 'Huh?' at first.

The lawyer in me is doing a little happy dance! Law FTW!

Funny and thoughtprovoking at the same time! And all in a short story. Well done! It does deserve some thought. How much are we willing to sacrifice for safety and order? And who's safety and order will that be?

What a guy! Using whatever and whoever to get ahead and stay on top of the game! Not very nice at all, which is a nice break from all the upstanding characters I normally read about.

Very sweet story. I'm glad Peter found a boyfriend and that he could teach his teacher a few things too.

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.

Some of the explanation can be writers who aren't native English speaking. Some other languages don't use the or a. Or it's sloppy writing. Editing isn't fun and the itch to get the story out can be hard to not scratch. Then it can of course be intended as a style, like Carlos said.

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

I'm thinking this demon collects his souls in a different way. Pleasure until extinction? But what a way to go... And what is next?

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.

The metaverse is intruding on the most Swedish of all things: Melodifestivalen (a music contest, that is more a national treasure more precious to Swedes than the royal family or parental leave...). Nano sings to certain person we all love (shut up, JAR...).

Happy birthday!
