    Thanks CG! I think you are very correct that Danny's warning does not apply to the joining of David and Twoey. And that makes it all the more ominous.

    Thanks Parker! Rocklike and stable. Now who in his life could that be? Gary? Sam? Alex? Randy? Do any of them seem to be what he needs? There is only one more major character of "18 Weeks" yet to emerge. Could a thin and wiry freshman fit the bill? Seems unlikely. We'll watch though.

    Thanks so much Spikey! These are really focused comments and you certainly see some of the problems which lie ahead. He's got three major problems: his orientation, his abuse and his attraction to Twoey. He's only aware of the latter, and because of the first two, there can be no resolution of the latter. So, I guess, first things first -- right?

    It did! Nice work tim ...I hope it brightened you mood too!

    Thank you so much, Hunter! You're comments are all the reward I need as a (new) writer. I'm blushing. Somewhere in the "18 Weeks" story blog there is a little statement by me about the beating. It might give you an interesting perspective. Your work sounds incredibly heroic, and yes you could have been in danger. Not all conservatives are wacko and resort to violence, but even the minority who do make what you did dangerous.

    Thanks Hunter! You are correct re: David. If Putin is part of his buried subconscious, then we have the reasoning of a 15 year old at work. Being smart doesn't necessarily make someone wise.

    Thanks Hunter! Yes, Mrs. Delmonico is the social teacher I would have loved to have. Mine read lectures from yellowed notes.

    Thanks Parker! You might be correct about how those two got wrapped into welcoming arms after their traumas. And with David in denial, it was probably the only way Twoey could go. But now they each seem to be aware that it's not the way they want it. Will either be strong enough? Will both?

    Chapter 1

    Tell me, thou villain slave, where are my children? Richard III - WS *** “David, see how your little fish enjoys being rubbed?” And there was Burch, floating in the water with me and stroking the back of a little fish, which started to grow into a bigger little fish. I began splashing and kicking at Burch as he tried to calm me with what he was saying. Then he began to hug me and... I woke up! Shit! How much weirder are these damn dreams gonna get? Totally tangled in my quilt a

    Thanks Def! Yes, I think you've got Twoey understood pretty well. It's sad, but it almost had to happen the way it did. At this point in time, David is a non-starter, and Erik was really Twoey's only choice. And you're right, he couldn't have anticipated what was to develop.
  12. skinnydragon
    Thanks Carl! At this point, Twoey/David is about as far from possible as possible ...hehe. The only ray of hope is that David is worried about Twoey and Twoey is worried about slipping away from David. So there obviously IS a line between them, frayed as it is. David's dreams indicate something emerging for sure. When it does, things could get bad fast if he's not lying on some shrink's couch, don't you think?

    Thanks jess ...I think Me? Muddy the waters? Everyone is being so hard on Twoey today!

    Hey CG! Two pieces of good news: Benny's not gay and Alex isn't in the next chapter. I think you might be right why he 'can't be gay.'
  15. skinnydragon
    I'm not sure we can be too hard on Twoey, aside from picking Erik (or being picked by Erik). He really came to believe David is straight and therefore offered him no hope. I'm sure he would have worked at it a little longer (would it even have helped?) except for Erik's sudden proposal. And aside from flitty Matty and dead Danny, Erik was the only boy Twoey had ever been with. Alex seems to be pointing out stuff to David you've been saying all along. Maybe she'll be good for him.

    Daylighting

    skinnydragon commented on rustle's story chapter in Daylighting

    They certainly are made for each other. And they have the full support of their adults. The only exception being Casey's birth giver. We'll have to see where that goes. A lovely chapter in a lovely story rustle!

    Wait and Blind

    skinnydragon commented on Mikiesboy's story chapter in Wait and Blind

    It's good you wrote these. (They are a powerful testament.) It's good you shared them. (Thank you.) As the others before me have noted, they are strong, poignant and brutal. But they are also a record ...of how you survived, and how far you have come.

    Chapter 9

    skinnydragon commented on Hunter Thomson's story chapter in Chapter 9

    Well things went pretty much as expected for Devin/Alex, really. What else could have happened? My only question is about Thanksgiving. I live in two countries. One has Thanksgiving on a Monday in October, the other on a Thursday in November. Who has it on a Saturday?

    How bitter a thing it is to look into happiness through another man's eyes! As You Like It - WS *** “I don’t like it! I don’t like it! I don’t like it!” This time I woke up yelling. Crap! These dreams are starting to get to me. Why does fucking Burch, who is fucking dead already, have to be telling me that I like it? What the fuck is it and why does the fucking ghost of that fucking bastard even care? Well, whatever it is, my dream-self doesn’t like it. That much was painfully

    This Life

    skinnydragon commented on Carlos Hazday's story chapter in This Life

    CJ is becoming self-aware, which is good. Dragon is being helpful, which is good. The fathers took action, which is good. Felix is ...well he's a kid and sometimes teenage humor isn't very PC. I hope he learns. Owen is ...well I guess we wait for him (and Brad and Paddy) to get there. CJ will have a yard full of stuff to sort through. Whew! A great chapter Carlos! Made us think and spikey rant!

    Early March

    skinnydragon commented on skinnydragon's story chapter in Early March

    Thank you TH for your thoughtful comments! I don't think you are as far out on that limb as you suspect. Never worry about thinking too deeply in SkinnyLand.

    Early March

    skinnydragon commented on skinnydragon's story chapter in Early March

    Thanks CG! Yes, Gary's diplomatic approach was so much smarter than Toph's 19 year old taunts. Gary seems to be gently helping Toph grow. Selling art? Toph hasn't thought of it yet, but will soon be faced with that decision.

    Chapter 27

    skinnydragon commented on Ronyx's story chapter in Chapter 27

    A lot of nice things here, Ron. But the two that stood out for me were Curtis with Lane on his lap and Casey thanking his father. Both moments represented a sea change.

    Chapter 5

    skinnydragon commented on Comicality's story chapter in Chapter 5

    excellent

    Thanks Def! I think Lanni is too smart to worry about. Don't you? Of course Twoey should be too smart to worry about. Ah well, so much for THAT theory.
