  1. Congratulations Gary!
  2. I did, so you should have it now.
  3. Did I also mention the proves he's a chicken queen?
  4. Since Phi is how you address anyone here who is older, and Drew without exception insists he is the youngest one here he should address all of us, everytime as Phi. It also means he should address any of his Thai herd that are older than him the same way. Of course that means about 95% of them!

    Chapter 1

    Good idea! I really think you should try.
  6. The winner of the Secret Author has just been announce! Check it out.
  7. The key word here is "a".
  8. Awesome! Congratulations @Libby Drew! Well deserved. It was a beautiful story.
  9. Drilling documentary size queen, eeh? Of course WE all know what those drilling documentaries you watch really are. You might want to give them a different code name.
  10. I love prompt responses. This is a very good prompt response, and a brief snippet of teen life. Dad rewards Lee with a weekend of bonding, but there is a nice bonus with a chance encounter.

    Chapter 1

    Nice short story from the prompt. It's a fun snippet of teen life, with the added bonus of a weekend bonding with Dad. Nice extra was the chance encounter with a new, hot, and possibly gay friend.
  12. This is a fun story cleverly written and a joy to read. Written by a master of short stories about teen life and romance it leaves you feeling happy you read the story. The dialogue is filled with playfulness of mischievous young teens. Don't read too fast or you might miss some of the roguish play on words of the author. Don't miss the witty fun of this story, read it!

    Chapter 1

    What a fun story! I loved the boys and the VP was just as cheeky. I love how you play with words, especially using puns. I agree that this would be a very fine start to a story if you ever decide to do that in the future.
  14. This is a well written short story that started with a prompt. The first chapter is a bit dark, but it is balanced with a second chapter that shines with hope. This is a great read of angst conquered by a bit of romance. I recommend this as a great read when pressed for time, or as a sampler of the author's talent and style.

  15. A very dark beginning, but I did like Brandon. Chuck was both uncaring and abusive. I look forward to the next chapter.
  16. A very nice balance to the first chapter. Mark is very different from Chuck and now provides a positive alternative. They both share a common experience with men that are uncaring. I hope the find happiness together.

    Chapter 21 S1

    I love the comment. It would make a great writing prompt! Think of all the predicaments and explanations it would inspire among GA authors.

    My guess it is a Rob Colton story. 🤪

    Chapter 21 S1

    As usual Al, you had me looking things up for even more information. You're a great motivator! There is a very loose definition used by some that includes the mountain lion and cheetah. The one that I like was the one you found that only includes the Panthera species. The mountain lion is not a panthera, but a member of the puma family. The mountain lion not being able to roar was interesting because of the many sounds it does make. The one thing about the big cat definition that says mountain lions are not included because of their size however is not based in reality. The mountain lion is about the same size as a leopard and much bigger than a snow leopard. If it were to be included in the list of big cats, it would be in the middle according to size.

    Chapter 21 S1

    The lessons on walking, trotting, galloping were probably more taxing on Mac. Devin may need to massage a few aching muscles. They are getting very close to leaving and I expect that Mac is getting very excited. I'm glad that Devin is not only helping him train, but keeping him a bit distracted. As for @weinerdog's comment: Maybe the reports assumed a mountain lion was responsible when it was actually a shifter. Seems that in one story I read there a pack of them in central or northern California.

    Chapter 33

    There was a lodda history dump in the chapter that filled in a lodda holes. I also don't trust Porvus, but understand the need for a truce. It sounds like Snave is ready for a rematch with Porvus. This time I think Porvus will be stuck in the wood. The actions and interface of the two AIs indicate that they are independent thinkers with their own personalities. That makes me wonder what they plan to do. I think that Jamie should test how powerful his ghost power is by trying to reach the ring station using it. It seems a no risk situation with a lot to gain. Then maybe he could have a heart to heart chat with the AI there.

    Chapter 33

    I agree that the two AIs are in communication. AIs seem to have their own agenda, and I would think that Jamie might want a talk with one or both. They both want the station repaired. I think they have their own reasons.

    Explorers

    The sonnet was lovely. It was like a memory of hiking with my lover through mountain meadows and forests. We knew we were walking trails taken before, but there were times we would forget that as we lookout on wonderful vistas. Sometimes, we knew there was a change that altered the vistas and terrain. These times we would wonder if we saw something new that no one had experienced before standing in the same spot. This poem captures those memories.
