    Brent's an asshat for sure. But if I can change...well, I try to change sometimes.

    Chapter 1

    I think this is rather unique and satisfying. It's a great take on the mythology, and you had the balls to murder Myr and drink his blood. You better be careful, because though you might think Myr was human, but he knows spells and magik. Your half blood vamp would be no match for our fearless leader if he gets his dander up. . I thought it was highly entertaining with a few familiar names weaved around. Held my attention from start to finish.
  4. I would have thought so for the last two years, but then I read the last six chapters, I found them slightly more thrilling. The story goes out with a bang at least.
  5. I think you missed the part where I said I was so frustrated I had to write my own. . So I actually write a review for every story I read. I don't always share them as they are honest and I don't think they are appropriate for a site like GA. That being said, my review for Circumnavigation was nearly fifteen pages where I outlined in great detail things I liked and things that didn't work. If you want to see where my head was at, read the comment I left at Chapter 149 and I think it will be clear. So I wrote the story I really wanted to read, so I hope it doesn't turn out like someone elses. I have a sneak peak in Wry rambling of a hot wing.
  6. Thank god, I'll be reaching out in the next day or so for the interludes.
  7. Not forgotten, but my plans for things got seriously derailed when I finished Circumnavigation by CJames a few months ago. That story got me so frustrated I started my own nautical story, Beneath The Blue Deception. I have about forty chapters completed, first draft, and will continue to barrel through until the end. After that's finished, I won't go back to start editing until I finish Part Two of Tyler's Dilemma, which is 75% complete before I begin edits. So it depends if @Lee Wilson has time available to help me get the turd polished, look for Part Two in the coming months. As for Beneath The Blue Deception, probably at least a year away as it needs a lot of work to get ready for edits. Another way to look at this, it might just be all in Brandon's head, jealousy, anger, confusion, or Brandon could be worse then we even know yet. Dylan is going to be a catalyst for the final dilemma, so part two will be a bit darker, as the themes slowly start to reveal themselves. Don't forget, the first part was a prelude to the story, the first dilemma, Tyler accepting himself. We still have some questions that need answers and they might not be all fluffy bunny slippers. J
  8. Oh sorry to hear about that. Another one of my friends had the same thing happen to him. And that was after they moved him across the country to Chicago two months ago. It's brutal out there. So I got distracted and wrote Gabriel's Gambit, 130K words that is ready to start editing. And I'm at around 80K for another story. I need to buckle down and get working on Tyler's Dilemma. That's kind of what I'm been focusing on today. Not enough hours in the day for me to do what I want to do. Tyler's Dilemma is about 70% finished. There is only going to be a part two.
  9. Is that your way of saying I took too long?
  10. Um, you have seen two. 😇. And edited two. The other two, well, I was having issues connecting the two parts and I was going to hit you up when they were finished.
  11. Poor Dylan, it gets worse before it gets better, if it ever does. Sadly, he has a much bigger part to play in Part Two. Interlude was supposed to have two chapters, I think it's four now. J
  12. Tyler Scott pulled up to a stop in front of the Jenkins house at exactly 7:30 am. After all, a promise was a promise. Though it was a bit of a surprise to see both Devin and Dylan standing there on the front porch. It was a chilly Sunday morning and they were going to pay Nana a visit. He had no idea what her given name was, everyone just called her Nana. She was ninety-three years old, barely over five feet tall, with limited mobility but still sharp as a tack. Nana had outliv
  13. Next came the sock aisle and when they both reached for the same package of black anklet socks, Jason grabbed Daniel’s hand and declared, “I always wear black.” “So do I,” Daniel said as he pointed to his bare feet inside his sandal. “You aren’t wearing socks,” Jason said as he grabbed two packets of black socks. “You get another color so we don’t get them mixed up.” “What do you mean?” Daniel asked as he grabbed a package of black and gray anklet socks. “I am not wearing socks you wore on your stinky feet,” Jason declared as he put one more package of each color in the cart. “You don’t want to mistakenly wear socks that are clean on the off chance I wore them first?” Daniel asked incredulously. “That’s right, that’s really fucking gross,” Jason said in a disgusted tone. “This coming from the boy that borrows my underwear more times than I’d like,” Daniel said with a grin. “I don’t happen to think your balls and cock are gross,” Jason said with a dismissive wave. “But those feet, makes me shiver.” “You are weird.” “Speaking of underwear, let’s see if we can find something sexy for us,” Jason declared as he headed over to the nearest display. “Why do we need to have something sexy?” Daniel asked in a curious tone. “If all I have to look at for the next four weeks is your ass, I at least want it to be covered in something sexy, preferably silky and soft,” Jason said and then broke out laughing. “Since all you wear is boxer briefs,” Daniel called out after him. “You wouldn’t know sexy undies if it…” “What?” “I had something for that,” Daniel said as he lost his train of thought. Daniel rumaged around but couldn’t find anything he really liked. They were all pretty standard and even Jason commented, “I don’t see anything like the type you buy.” “These are for straight boys,” Daniel said in disgust. “Where do you buy all those crazy underwear anyway?” Jason asked intently. “Online mostly,” Daniel admitted. “I just go to amazon and type in gay underwear.” Jason rolled his eyes and replied, “Of course you do.”

    Chapter 11

    Even for someone who doesn't like, I meant hate baseball, I could follow along easily and a few times got swept away in the game. So I agree, well done indeed.
  15. I have not read any other stories written by this author. There is a style here, a turn of phrasing that is intriguing. The premise, I've seen lots of reels depicting this very thing. So I find it timely. Having to have a husband before *insert reason* is a tired trope and I never have been a fan of Rom/Com's. But what got me to read this first chapter was the promise of it also being a thriller. So for now, I think I am all in. I love the voice and smart assery of the narrative. Well written characters for the most part, but you are going to have a difficult time turning around my opinion of Zayn, he's not aloof, he's an asshole. He's not misunderstood, as written, he's a butt monkey. Hard to redeem a character like that while making the turn believable. Not saying it can't be done, but it's difficult. But I'll jump in the backseat and see where you drive me. I like your style a lot. J

    He's just a teenage dirtbag baby Listen to Iron Maiden
  17. That works for you because everyone loves what you right, myself included. J
  18. If I lived my life by that rule I'd never get anything done. I'm spread thin enough as it is.
  19. Truthfully, I have not read any of the other stories. And I would never subject myself after this one. I will say this premise is the best premise on this site, hands down, full stop. I absolutely love this premise. I know more about sailing, geography, than i did before I undertook this mammoth task. The issue is, I have no love of sailing. And I am a history lover and read extensively. For the last three years now, I have been studying World War II, from the Japanese viewpoint. So I love learning about history and filling my head with old facts. I think what struck me sideways about this story, it was go to an island, learn something about the local history, get back on the boat go to the next stop. Repeat, repeat, repeat, at the expense of narrative. Entire chunks of this story could be removed and the plot would not be affected. That's not a good thing.

    Epilogue

    I'm not sure where I last commented, maybe around Chapter 149, and for twenty chapters or so before had been some of the most boring, info dumping, tedious reads of my life. I have felt for some fifty chapters that this story had gone off the rails. In my view, the story ended back in Australia when the assassin was foiled and bridget nearly was taken out by rachel. That was the logical stopping point. Every comma after that point was nothing but filler. Then we get to the last seven chapters, and all the BS info dumps, annoying running jokes, tedious sailing descriptions, fell away. And we get a running battle of wits in a hurricane that rivals anything I ever read by a professional much less an amateur. For the first time since I started this story in January 2023 I felt I finally got to see the writers talent. And yes, the action was stretched to the breaking point but I eagerly scrolled down to get to the end. The only other time, the description when Trevor was boarded by pirates, I felt lived up to the praise this story receives. The harrowing run in the eye was heart pounding action that kept me wanting to read faster. Even when little details that annoy me crept up in the narrative, I just skipped over that part, as I was invested fully in how the hell are they going to get out of the eye. I'm sure I'll have more to say when I finally write my review, but I enjoyed the last seven chapters about as much one could enjoy a story. The ending of the story did not let down, as it did give a satisfying ending to Trevor's journey. I just wish it didn't have a majority of the stuff in the middle to go through to get that ending. So I am happy I finished this tale, it's been well over two years in the making and though I bitch about it, this story has inspired me to write my own story about a boat, a boy, and cartel. So this one can go in the record books, task completed.
  21. Exposition is so tedious. I can't believe I have to endure this just to get to the end. Because this story is very much my white whale. It's been over two years since I started this story, luckily, I skipped so much of the BS of the last few chapters. Talk about someone not understanding that just because you did research doesn't mean you have to include it. Only nine more chapters to go...ARGH! I think i can, I hope I can, I don't think I can
  22. Now I’m confused. I don’t send it. 😊😍
  23. Without touching? 😜😜. Impossible
  24. And not in the good way. I’ve left a much more open and fun legacy. J (reformed slut).
  25. See these are the types of comments I shouldn’t respond too. I’ve never been shy about my body and just might take you up on the joke, I mean offer. and just FYI, even when I was young older guys turned me on, so it was a surprise to everyone when I married someone younger. and you wouldn’t be able to only stare for three minutes, j
