    Thanks CG! It was probably wise to insert a bit of background at this point. Thanks for suggesting it!

    Thanks Parker. I thought I'd use CG's request for how they met to portray Ian as more than the first two chapters painted him. Thank God, right?

    skinnydragon posted new chapter in Vignettes

    For our debut into entertaining after becoming partners two months ago, Ian invited two former college buddies, who in the intervening years had also become a couple. The meal was simple. As the foil-wrapped tenderloin rested in a warm oven, we sat around nibbling appetizers and enjoying a drink. Ian was nursing his usual Cosmo while we sipped a 2006 Brunello, the perfect pairing for tenderloin. A lovely fire banished any winter chill. It was Shawn who asked. “You guys met a whole year ago?

    Chapter 29

    skinnydragon commented on Enoch's story chapter in Chapter 29

    Wow, I just read this entire story. Really very very compelling. Ironically, I had started The Field of Love, not aware of the connection, since I hadn't read this yet. Now I'll have to reread FOL and fit everything in. But that'll be fun. Thanks for sharing!

    Chapter 1

    skinnydragon commented on Aditus's story chapter in Chapter 1

    Wonderful beginning. Can't tell whether this will be a journey for a new 'anchor' or maybe Morgan will become one himself? Or probably something else entirely.

    Thanks for the great review Lisa! Sorry about the additional 'D' name, but as I hinted to CG, Donny's time is yet to come and he's very important. I only recently chose to dribble him in, now and then, so he doesn't just drop in out of the blue later. As soon as I saw Danny/Donny I knew it was bad confusion-wise. But Donny is an irl name, not to be changed. When he takes center stage later, there won't be any name conflict so no confusion then.

    Thanks for the review Parker! Yes, I think "Week Three" is going to get interesting

    Thanks for the candid thoughts CG Yeah it seems Gary is trying to shape things into what he think ought to be happening without paying attention to what is really happening. We're probably all somewhat guilty of this little fault. You're right, with David in prison, f--d up might become F**D UP ...hehe

    Inside us all, it churns and seethes and strains. I guess I'll skip the ordinary stuff. This was the only important thing today anyway. It's 1:30 in the afternoon and I'm in my room, not in school. I've, um ...been suspended for a couple of days. Tommy’s mother just brought me home. I was in a fight. I can't remember all the details ...well, let me start with what I do know. It was lunch and we were beginning to sit down. Gary sat across from me. I put my tray down and then sat down too. Twoe

    Thanks for the review Lisa! I agree. The more we discover Danny, the worse it looks. And David is frustrating. He's so insightful with some things and so clueless with others ...and he hasn't even run into serious matters yet!

    Thanks for the great review Lisa! I guess this was the first time we 'heard' Danny speak for any length of time and he does have a certain patter to his chatter. And yeah, I know the paragraphs you refer to and I had mulled it over. I know it broke a technical rule, but I felt it was unambiguous and hung together better than with a big space in the middle. Please don't take away my birthday.

    Thanks Tim! Ian, needy? ...hehe I'm working on one that'll turn the tables though. It'll probably be #6 or something. I hope you'll still be reading them.

    Thanks Defiance! Aw ...poor Ian. I recently read a piece in The New Yorker about the old Time magazine practice of returning an article to the author with 'Green #' if they wanted him to delete whatever number of words. I use that repeatedly when creating these. It's marvelously effective!

    Thanks for the nice words Parker! I'm gonna choose "a lot of fun to write" if you don't mind.

    skinnydragon commented on Mikiesboy's story chapter in Delicious

    Haha!! Perfect Tim! I glanced at this prompt at about 1 AM today but by then my mind was mush, having been awake for 20 straight hours, 4 of which involved lots of physical activity. I'm glad I didn't think about it for long, because I could never have topped this! Thanks for sharing!

    skinnydragon commented on Krista's story chapter in Epilogue

    Very well done Krista! As drpaladin said, it tied up what was needed. I liked that it left open what was to come, but left open in a hopeful way. The entire story was entertaining and enjoyable. Thanks for sharing!!

    Thanks AC! I find it fascinating how much I'm beginning to understand these guys in only 305 words of two scenes in this un-story

    You know it’s over when he spends idle time with his back toward you. Looking at you means he has to think about you. Miles doesn’t want me in his thoughts anymore. I can’t even remember when we had our last kiss. He sits, way over there, pretending to be engrossed, but he isn’t. Miles is randomly shuffling through envelopes. He’d rather do that than deal with me. It’s only a matter of time! I can feel it. Finally Miles bothered to notice me. “What. Why are you wearing that frown Ian?” “Why

    Entry 5

    skinnydragon commented on MrM's story chapter in Entry 5

    Ah, finally! Great chapter MrM!! I think you caught that scene perfectly. Now let's hope Brandon continues to believe what his gut told him about AJ. Also, you reminded me of all the pillows I abused.

    Thanks for the review Parker! You're right about the mystery. It improves, but ever so slowly. You made an interesting comment about Tommy. I can't tell if he's suspicious of Twoey's orientation or of his "too strong" looks. I guess we'll all have to wait.
  24. skinnydragon
    Thanks for the insightful comments Defiance! Yeah, as Danny's situation gets revealed further, it looks worse, doesn't it. It's a good thing Pastor Johnson's not a girl, because David seems clueless with girls, right? As I hinted to CG, Donny will blossom later. We'll keep out eye on him though
  25. skinnydragon
    Thanks for the review CG! Wow, you're pretty hard on our screwed up 15 yo narrator! ...hehe Unfortunately for David, Enos Johnson is not done with him yet. You're pretty correct about Danny, but as for Donny ...well he's gonna take center stage, only way later ...just don't forget him
