Wow, they are really cute. Especially the blonde. Maybe I'll have to start recording this show...

When I was in high school? In a heartbeat. I was so terrified of being gay that I could absolutely not admit to myself that I really was, and was so guilty about the images that came into my mind during, ahem, night pleasures, that I made myself sick. If there was a magic pill to be normal, I would have done anything for it. In college, after I admitted, to myself at least, that I really was "that way"? Almost certainly. Because I just *knew* my parents would be unhappy, that my mom would be sad at not getting grandkids, that my dad would never speak to me again. After I was introduced to the person with whom I fell in love over the phone, and have lived with ever since? Not a chance. I'd never give up what I have now, and can't imagine not being "me". (And my mom and dad both love him, and, by the way, had known - or at least suspected - I was gay since before I was in high school.) - dfp

I found GA by following the link from DomLuka's The Log Way and Desert Dropping stories. I was "disappointed" because I immediately read all of those stories (which had been posted in their entirety on GA but were still being doled out to Nifty a bit at a time) - and once I finished reading them, the "disappointment" was that I didn't have that great sense of anticipation and satisfaction of waiting for the next chapter to be posted once a week and reading it. ("disappointment" is, of course, a joke. Being able to read all the other stories by Dom and DK, and eventually Dio and LittleBuddhaTW also, well outweighed that I'd have to wait for more TLW and DD chapters. - dfp

I voted feelings/emotions, in a specific way: I enjoy coming-of-age stories, the way the characters and their relationships evolve as they grow into themselves. But what really makes those kinds of stories "come alive" is empathizing with the characters, which means the author needs to really make the reader feel what the characters are feeling. - dfp

Hello everyone. I've been lurking around GA for a while now, having been lead by the nose from the Nifty archives by the likes of Dan King's "Do Over" and DomLuka's "The Lo(n)g Way". I finally decided it's time to de-lurk - at least enough to get to the mythical 5th post and full forum membership I avidly follow Dan King's non-vampire stories and anything from DomLuka, and recently added Dio Beckstead and LittleBuddhaTW, having read their stuff on Nifty as well. I don't normally participate in forums, really, so I don't know if I'll actually make it to the magical 5th post, but here's my intro anyway. Hi! - dfp
