    Well surely what everyone else said, but I was impressed with Andy who showed his strength again. Placing himself where the big bully would have to go through him to get to Zander, agreeing to be interviewed by Ms Bully and handling it quite well,and refusing his, by now, natural urge to flee shows a new strength. While the fire under him is dangerous and hot, it can also anneal him. So lets hope for an even stronger Andy!

    Drew has a very valid point in the sibling rivalry and the loss of Jared to (ostensibly) her brother causing her to be pushed over the edge BUT it's got to be more than that. Carly is seriously f**kd up emotionally and I think it's way too much to be in the 'my brother always gets his way, territory. Whew! That being said, at length , Craig has his work cut out for himself re: Jared. Both because of Jared and because of himself. Each has his own unusual limits internally drawn. OK Gary, you've given us enough issues for about 100 chapters. You said this was gonna be short?

    I didn't mean to be flippant. I've actually had a too eerily, similar background. It's probably why those characters are living in my head. Maybe this story will help shake them out.

    Late November

    skinnydragon commented on skinnydragon's story chapter in Late November

    Hey, thanks Spikey for your review and always probing questions - I really appreciate them! Obviously a lot of pieces haven't fit together quite yet. But, as you mentioned, we have a year for it to happen. What we shouldn't overlook is the fact everything is seen only through Toph's eyes. Gary may already know 'their connection' but Toph clearly doesn't. Also, as we've figured out before, Toph's assumptions aren't always correct. He's only 19 and trying to understand his world, but he's all we've got. Steve. Clearly Steve is falling in love with Toph. And Toph does seem to recognize it. And Steve IS doing something for Toph. Beyond that, we'll need to observe.

    Thank you Christopher for your kind words and deeply perceptive analysis. I hope you don't feel empathy because you share his name ...hehe (JK) Those characters in my head thank you too!

    Chapter 31 Guilt

    skinnydragon commented on Dodger's story chapter in Chapter 31 Guilt

    So Robbie is feeling guilty and ashamed, as well he should. But we learn from our mistakes and I'm sure he learned from his drug experimentation. So where does that leave Robbie? It seems he's going to try climbing out by overcompensating with Fran. But then, where does that leave Nathan in the mix? Will he be able to refuse Alex? (who btw has some stuff on his phone he can use to get his way.) Lots of nice stuff here Dodger!

    Thanks tim! I think he definitely doesn't like it - all the attention, that is. I'm sure it's not what he expected for his future life when he left Euphoria. That being said, he seems overwhelmed by it all. Do you suppose he'll push back against it a little?

    Thanks for your review and comments! Yes, Toph's life has grown pretty complicated pretty fast, hasn't it. Being "free" and on his own has stripped him of one of his defense mechanisms too -- being able to invisibly snipe at his opponents!

    Thank you for your review Brian! I'm happy you're enjoying it so much! Thoph is not everyone's cup of tea. I understand that. And some are drawn into what you call "wit and lightness" but seem to overlook what's really going on. I hope you enjoy the rest of 'Toph's Empty Year', as he tries to fill it up!

    Thanks for your review jess! Your question is a good one. Since we only witness Toph's encounters through his own eyes, it's difficult to understand what the others think of him, or what's internal vis-a-vis what's external. We seemed to have been led to earlier incorrect assumptions about Austin and Nico, after all.

    Thanks Graeme for your usual probing comments! Clearly the degree of Toph's earlier-life damage is not going away as quickly as we or he desired. In his defense, he seems to be moving forward. Unfortunately the very act of moving forward creates new challenges for him. But then, he has a whole empty year to fill.

    Thanks for the great comments Jess! I think David is on the cusp of discovery re:orientation. Unfortunately, he's got bigger fish to fry, as my father used to say. Sam's trap will definitely have collateral damage

    Hey Parker, thanks for the review! Well, David will get a big dose of Twoey Saturday night (David time) but there will be a third person present, of course. btw isn't David always angelic?

    Skirmishes. I arrived home in the morning after work. I felt lucky to get here. My car didn’t want to wake up today. Not a first. I’d better visit my credit union again and plead my case! Anders was arranging things in his attaché case, preparing to leave for work, when Gary came out of his room. “Oh no. The axe suit. Are you about to fire that employee?” “Not her. It’s someone else. Actually things seem slightly better with her. She’s looking at wedding books during lunch.” I supposed if y

    Chapter 5

    skinnydragon commented on CarlHoliday's story chapter in Chapter 5

    Carl, this is a fascinating story!!

    He’s one for whom “What a waste” was invented *** “Let's meet at my house at a quarter to five, then pick up the girls and head to Kory's.” That was fine with me because it'll give me enough time to meditate and get my costume on. “So, Gary ...what'll you guys be wearing?” “Sorry, you'll just have to wait to find out! But I promise we won't be pirates.” Drying off from my after-run shower the phone chirped with Twoey's 'naked-morning' call. He's got his timing right down to the minute! “

    As one singularly unqualified to saw ANYTHING about poetry beyond Dr. Seuss, I will only say I enjoyed this.

    Nah! Look at her arms. She's having an orgasm. Probably sitting on a vibrating dildo or something. Hmmmm ...sounds like a story prompt - more interesting than those we've seen lately

    Thanks for the wonderful comments Def! I'm happy you caught the shout out! David misses him too! Who's to keep him under control anymore? Chuck ...maybe more. We'll get his POV from time to time. David needs Sam for sure, but on Sunday (Twoey time) Sam will become more human.

    I usually miss a chaste bar, but rarely a space bar

    Thanks so much for the update Gary! He's never far from our thoughts. There's such a big hole without him here at GA. Even my character David, in Twoey gave him a shoutout. CG was always on David to become a better person. from Ch 60: "I now know the dish is called Pesto Genovese because it comes from Genoa, same as that Christopher ColumbusGuy."

    Chapter 7

    skinnydragon commented on Zenith's story chapter in Chapter 7

    Haha ...what a great way to get married! A lovely tale Zenith! I enjoyed each and every chapter. Well, maybe not the 'breakup' one so much. Thanks for sharing it with us!

    A great chapter Parker. A major step for Andy! He performed a sexual act which had previously been stamped into his brain with bad memories. As he said, he was replacing bad memories with good ones. Let's hope school isn't too horrible for them on Monday. It'll be interesting to see how each handles it.
