    My spouse has a friend who will not eat in a restaurant alone. If traveling alone, will get food from a drive-thru and eat in the vehicle rather than eat inside alone. Not sure of the reasoning. Thanks for this summary, @wildone.

    One thing I did which reduced screen clutter was become a Premium Subscriber. Yes, there is a cost, but there are various plans. Especially when I am on my phone, the Premium status saves me much time and aggravation.

    Another good story from the writing team of @BendtedWreath and @chris191070. Altair is a great guy after getting out of his initial selfishness and fear. Cane adds to the humanity of the situation, and each other guy adds to the story. As @Thirdly mentioned, this seems to be the next-to-last story in the series, but it does not have to be. I would especially like to see more about Winn and Eric in future stories. Very well done, guys.

    So, @BendtedWreath and @chris191070, if you want something offbeat in the next story, they could have a camper who is half human, half werewhale... In a published story, I have only seen mention of a werewhale in passing in one of Larry Niven's short stories. But it has interesting possibilities, depending on which type of whale it turned into when changing out of human form.

    I noticed what drsawzall noticed. Is the hunter out again or a fellow persecutor also planning evil? Good hook for the next story.

    Wonderful! Great work, you two!

    The various facets of this discussion reminds me of something a friend once said. Paraphrasing: "If you are teaching someone born in a culture where another language than English is spoken, and you teach them 'butter' and then 'fly' -- then you say 'butterfly' without explaining, they will be confused." Same analogy: If you define and spell 'ear' and define and spell 'nest' and then show them the word 'earnest' -- they will be confused.

    AND also the chocolate companies and flower retailers.

    Flight

    ReaderPaul commented on Myr's story chapter in Flight

    I hope we might see these characters mentioned again someday, @Myr. Fascinating "chunk", as you call it.

    It depends on the environment. Sometimes seeming excessive caution can be a good thing.

    So a one-sided bonding, followed by an incomplete bonding? I sense major complications, @Myr. Please continue and clear up!

    Superb analyses, @Krista and @Jason Rimbaud. I agree, @Mattyboy, the film was groundbreaking. But it WAS padded with much unnecessary stuff. The acting was good, but the film felt bloated because of the extra stuff in it. I wish I could have seen the version my friend saw, which he said was grittier than the version released to theaters. But that is life.

    Jupiter Run

    ReaderPaul commented on Myr's story chapter in Jupiter Run

    Thank you, @Myr, for expanding this and giving us more in chapter Four. Things really soar as we get to the core with action galore. One thing is for shore, you do not bore. Thanks so much for chapter Four. (I know, I know, my hillbilly roots are showing a bit in using "shore" instead of "sure".)

    Chapter 3 Raincheck

    ReaderPaul commented on Myr's story chapter in Chapter 3 Raincheck

    Yes, I could see that a couple of places were slightly rough, but in an emergency such as this things can get rough. Hopefully, there might be a sequel or at least a nearquel (a nearquel is a story related to another story, with at least some of the same characters).

    So, @Myr, Sunday is coming up soon, and that sounds almost like "someday" -- Please, sir, would you post it then? (With apologies to Charles Dickens.)

    Fantasy Deep Dive 9

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

    I see more reading that I must somehow find time to do. With talent like @Geron Kees, @Myr, @dkstories, @P. E. Knapp, @astone2292, @Bill W, @Headstall, @Laura S. Fox, and so many more, much high quality writing is here.

    To Be King

    ReaderPaul commented on Myr's story chapter in To Be King

    Wow, Wow, Wow! What a conundrum! Is this the previous situation mentioned in Chapter 3, or a parallel one, @Myr? Either way, great story.

    The Forest

    ReaderPaul commented on Myr's story chapter in The Forest

    I thought it probably was not. But both Justins would have interesting possibilities for a related story or six.

    @Myr, is this the same Justin as in Chapter 3 of this Fantasy Flash Collection?

    Mindmaster

    ReaderPaul commented on Myr's story chapter in Mindmaster

    An excellent story. I do hope these characters return soon in another Kings Rangers World story I also feel that the two of them will have love bloom between them. For any who have not read the King's Rangers story series, I heartily recommend it.

    I saw the first hour of Brokeback Mountain and walked out of the venue where it was playing. The first hour was somewhere between dull and boring. So I found the discussion among @Krista, @Jason Rimbaud, @Jeff Burton, @wildone, @ChromedOutCortex, and anyone else about Brokeback interesting. A bisexual friend of mine saw a version different than in theaters, and said that version was better than the theatrical version. It did cause a lot of discussions to take place, however.

    Chapter 1

    ReaderPaul commented on Geron Kees's story chapter in Chapter 1

    Well, Ragal is a gentleman (and sometimes a gentlewoman), and Dick Sternman is quite scholarly regarding myths, legends, and more. And Charlie's father, Tom Boone, seems to have a really good memory as well for books he has read. And Pacha'ka certainly has scholarly merit!

    The Hunter

    ReaderPaul commented on BendtedWreath's story chapter in The Hunter

    What a great chapter, @BendtedWreath and @chris191070. But one question puzzles me. Does Cane have some type of supernatural perception that has not yet been clearly revealed? He seems very understanding of the situations the guys are finding themselves facing. Glad to see Altair, Raven, Lee, and Cane working together on basketball games at the beginning of the chapter. I have more questions I could ask, but will see what the next chapter brings.
  24. ReaderPaul
    Okay, thanks for the info, Tzane23.
  25. ReaderPaul
    Good work, @BendtedWreath and @chris191070. I hope this story has several more chapters. I have some questions, but will save them at this time, except for one. What is Cane's full name?
