    These questions could also use an "All of the above" choice.

    @chris191070 is correct. I have seen that done by some authors here, and that sometimes has caused me to read BOTH versions of a story. Usually, the second version is an improvement, and the contrasts and variations can be fascinating. That would be my suggestion, as well.

    Good story, Troy. And we don't get to read the next chapter until May 19?

    Comedy Deep Dive 10

    ReaderPaul commented on Myr's blog entry in Gay Authors News

    One of the best stories is by @wildone --- under Surreal Comedy. But lots of other good ones, as well.

    The pictures of beavers above remind me of, when I was a teen, I was staying overnight with a friend and we saw beavers building a dam on the creek of his parents' property. Two nights later, it rained five inches in two hours, and the beaver dam was washed away.

    I agree with @Sherye Story Reader in her assessment of the story. An excellent read.

    Would shoulder pads be considered a type of epaulet?

    You have a good sense of humor, so you would be indignantly jocular.

    So, @Lee Wilson -- is that you singing or something generated by suno dot com? I really liked Live Your Own Life 1, but I like Live Your Own Life 2 slightly better, though both are really good.

    Oh, and Lee. In the previous chapter, you have Fabian walking into the Little M Studio. Then: "Aubrey Wright, the auburn-haired receptionist,..." Did you do the alliteration of Aubrey and auburn on purpose, a la Mark Twain, or by accident?
  11. ReaderPaul
    You could always later amend it to say -- "The End, For Now." As Fabian gains experience with S&S, his writing abilities on songs will continue to improve. A sequel has many possible angles. Examples include: Alex runs into Javier Gomez (see previous chapter) and Fabian helps Alex with the reconnection or fireworks, as the case might be. Further example: Fabian and his replacement from the former band, Eric Lehman, deepen their friendship. Further possibility: We learn more about Reid and Ryan. Further possibility: The Slacker Crew starts to cut albums. Fabian and Reid give some guidance. Good story, @Lee Wilson.

    Indecision Today

    ReaderPaul commented on Mikiesboy's story chapter in Indecision Today

    You have the ability to say so much with such economy of words. I rarely can do that. I admire greatly those who are able to do so.

    As Mr. Spock from the original Star Trek series would say, "Fascinating." Do you have a sequel series of chapters planned for this story yet? I can't read them, but I notice you have four more chapters loaded and ready to go. Perhaps you might consider a story of Fabian's former band searching for a replacement guitarist? This might be your best story yet.

    So are you implying Russell also played the harMonica?

    Chapter 3

    ReaderPaul commented on Geron Kees's story chapter in Chapter 3

    @BendtedWreath -- in some of the slang lists I have seen of nicknames for certain specialized male equipment, maypole is listed as an old term. It is not as common as others more recently in common use. Some terminology is almost laughable, such as "male organ of generation" and "the lizard" and "protuberance between the thighs." I've even seen or heard of such terms as "dragon" (or draggin' in the case of one exceptionally long), divining rod, or probe. @Geron Kees has been innovative in his choice of maypole in this story.

    ReaderPaul commented on MichaelS36's story chapter in Chapter 1

    I hope you will reconsider and post more poetry. Well done, showing steadfastness in relationships.

    What do you mean, fee criminals?

    Lashing has multiple possible meanings. Lashing can mean firmly tying something to something else, or lash together. It can mean be using whips, rope, or other things to beat or whip someone of something. It can be verbal scolding or verbal severeness with someone. It can be severe weather dumping lots of wind, rain, hail, and so on at an area. Or, it can be as lot of a particular type of food, such as a slice of pie with a lot of whipped cream (a lashing of whipped cream). [Definitions from Cambridge dictionary, mostly.] So what kind of lashing(s)?

    Have not been out today, but yesterday was $3.59 per US gallon at a station close to me. But Wednesday another nearby station was already at $3.69 per US gallon.

    I use mostly chrome on my desktop, and Android Chrome on my phone,, and have had few problems that might relate to GA. But Internet was running slow for a few hours last night and this morning. My ISP may have been updating. And I know my cell provider, Verizon, has been having some issues. (Used to have different provider for cell service, but Verizon bought them.)

    I have seen earlier versions of this and it is always a thought-provoking read. This version is very well done and worth reading.

    Chapter 1 If Only

    ReaderPaul commented on Headstall's story chapter in Chapter 1 If Only

    Liked all of these, with some experiences I remember somewhat like those in the first of the three poems. Well done!
