    Where has the month gone? Since Ryan and I did the World War II museum, it seems we’ve both been on the run, and yet I can’t point to any one thing as a major time-eater. Of course, Ryan and I continued to have great times together; in fact, I’m comfortable enough that I’m soon going to ask him to move in. Although we only met a little over three months ago, and only made a commitment to each other a couple of months ago, the timing feels right. I just need to open up a little more with him—

    Fun swimming lession--and boys will be boys as it degenerates into a waterfight. Nice that Coach was encouraging. Well done chapter. Looking forward to the next one, so you'd better be busy writing! <grin>

    Lee, glad you've already found how much GA offers--great writing in lots of genres, friendly folks, and a place where YOUR voice makes a difference with writers (via comments) and members (via chat). Glad you're here!

    Chapter 2

    Robert Rex commented on heyham88's story chapter in Chapter 2

    Hot Damn! Now we're making progress--think the time is here for a little honesty between our heroes. Good job on this chapter, but you've left us hanging...the new chapter will be out later today, right? <grin>

    Landing

    Robert Rex commented on JamesSavik's story chapter in Landing

    Love a well-told science mystery--and you're really "in the groove" on this one! Organic dust? Gotta be more info ahead, especially now that it's physically interacting with our heroes. And, being from a rural area outside Monroe, I can envision the mess the explosion created. Can't wait for the next chapter--you've got wide open plot lines here, and looking forward to see the character development you do with our heroes! Delicious chapter!

    the Comet

    Robert Rex commented on JamesSavik's story chapter in the Comet

    Great start to the tale! Not only have you created a mystery in terms of the comet's core/contents, you've deftly tied the comet's position to historic fact, making it more substantive in most readers' eyes. Can't wait to see where you take this! Good job!

    Chapter 3

    Robert Rex commented on Hunter Thomson's story chapter in Chapter 3

    Devin is an interesting character; relatively self-confident, but still maybe overwhelmed/at awe/exploring his new surroundings. I'm hopeful that Bryce is open as he appears; he's always around, and I'm not paranoid, but is there something a little stalke-ish about him? He always seems to have his eye on Devin. The frat party should be fun; let's see how Devin handles himself and the fun/maybe temptations there..... Good job in moving the story forward. More, More!

    THANK YOU for the kind words! The trip to the museum really did cover far more--quite frankly, far more than I originally planned. The building friendship with Barry and Dave kinda expanded here and although it's not reported, there's a lot of Ryan/Dave bonding going on. After all, Ryan's new in town, and really hasn't build a lot of solid friends! I was in the museum, and saw a real-life situation between a young vet and an older one like this; I really worked to portray how emotional a moment that was. Trust me, I was crying like a little kid with that--and glad some of that feeling came through. THANK YOU for your comments and continued support--it really means more than I can say!

    Zenith, I appreciate your comments! Clayton and Ryan are certainly an usual couple in so many ways: interests, ages, history, and approach to life. Clayton's the thinker/planner, Ryan is far more action/impulsive. Ben is seemingly about to get the intervention and support he needs, but he's got a tough master--his forced drug addiction. And Benoit still needs to be taken care of! (Karma, and all that!) Clayton and Ryan are still exploring their relationship, and perhaps they can go out and party in the Quarter one night--there's not been a lot of that. We'll see. THANK YOU for reading and commenting. I appreciate you!

    What a perfect description, Fae..."Having your legs cut out from under you" seemingly here for the 2nd time (the first being the disaster when he lost them originally, now having to voluntarily leave them--at least for the moment). THANKS for reading along and commenting. I appreciate it!

    Problem Solved?

    Robert Rex commented on Robert Rex's story chapter in Problem Solved?

    Glad you're enjoying the story, Fae...and you're right, Benoit is bad news. What the hell is Ben thinking? I appreciate your comments! Hope you'll continue with the tale--and the input!

    Nice wrapup to this phase of the story (and like everyone else, 1) this ended too quickly, and 2) there WILL be a sequel. (Notice that wasn't a question.)) A fine tale, loose ends tied up for now, and intriguing characters. You did well here, my friend.

    Chapter 13

    Robert Rex commented on Zenith's story chapter in Chapter 13

    Damn, the Borg moves fast! Now that Joseph is going to be integrated with his new family, it's going to be interesting to see how he plays into the rest of the story. Will this be just a "one-off" character? Or will he come into play in the plot in another way? And the instructor sounds like a real trip; an aging free-spirit who wants to "show him his etchings". (That's a great play on an old, old line!) You did well here, keeping the story moving, and keeping a bit of suspense about what happens next. Good job!

    Chapter 16

    Robert Rex commented on Ronyx's story chapter in Chapter 16

    Nice to see coach stepping up, and admitting he handled the situation wrong--and nice to see he's cool with the gay issue. I suspect Casey has a far stronger ally here than he'd expected. And now that Mike is out of the picture at least for a while, the focus can shift to further bo song with Rodney, Shade, and maybe even Curtis. Can't wait for the next fine chapter!
  15. Robert Rex
    Thanks for the kind words, Mr. D! And you're right--they're both very much in tune with each other, mature, and even better, neither one is afraid to tackle the issues. (Witness how Clayton's 'failure to launch' was handled. Thanks again for the comments--and for following the tale!
  16. Robert Rex
    I think you're right--jealousy IS a cancer. Perhaps it's Clayton's maturity that caused him to face the issue head-on; perhaps Ryan's laid-back enough/comfortable enough in the relationship that it's a non-issue for him. (And with him having met Ben, it's not like he's a "mystery face".) Regardless, it's a solid approach they're using to deal with it all. THANK YOU for your comments--and your ongoing support; it really means a lot!
  17. Robert Rex
    LOL! Yup, this WAS a little late, but had hoped my last "two-fer" in one week might have helped a little. And, my editor got slammed with his paying gig--so it took a little longer. Next chapter will be out sooner--maybe by Thursday or Friday. It's remarkable how much in sync Clayton and Ryan are...and it's nice they're able to build friendships that recognize the relationship, even when each man builds differently. (Dave/Ryan's friendship started out with the common Marine bond; Barry/Clayton's, social through the bar.) And, Clayton/Ryan's loving relationship seems to be growing exponentially. THANKS for your comments and support--it really means a lot, buddy!
  18. Robert Rex
    Tim, you're exactly right--there's a natural give and play between the guys, almost instinctive. And, we need to get your butt here; it really IS a great museum, and you need to see it. And, first couple of rounds of drinks are on me. (Is that motivation? A threat? ) THANKS for reading and commenting. I appreciate you!

    GRRR! Ready to beat the shit out of Paul. Hoping that Henry will bring some sense of real life to Nolan. Maybe even a positive gay encounter with him, or with one of his friends. <fingers crossed> Good job!
  20. Robert Rex
    Nice start to the tale...you've painted some strong characters here, with Nolan's brother and his buddy immediately inciting hate, but planting hope with his new friend from the pool. And, I'm hoping for further character development with Nolan which will allow him to become more self-confident, and beating the hell out of his brother (physically or emotionally). And what was the reason for the slap across the brother's face? Looking forward to seeing where this goes!

    benjamin

    Robert Rex commented on Milos's story chapter in benjamin

    Wow! So much detail covered here--with the big story being why dear old Dad is MIA. This is truly the family that put the "fun" in "dysfunctional". Geez.... All in all, a good job here, with natural dialogue, and moving the story along well, with character development solidly done along the way. More, more!
  22. Robert Rex
    Glad you're here--and looking forward to your tale! You'll find a supportive group, with interesting people, lots of reading genres, and the opportunity to have your voice heard, not only through your work, but by your comments on others' works. And, don't forget the chat room and forums for some really solid social connections. Welcome! Enjoy--and be prepared to be wishing for more hours in the day as you see the depth and breadth of GayAuthors.

    After Clayton’s disclosure about all the horrible shit Ben was dealing with, we really weren’t in the mood to stay out and drink. Dave and Barry totally understood when we left the bar. And I knew Clayton wasn’t in the mood for cooking dinner, so I called from my car, got a pizza to go, and headed over to his place. Didn’t want to leave him alone. He’d left the garage door open, and with the driveway lights it was a snap to find the house—no more getting lost like before. My Cadillac pulled

    Chapter 1

    Robert Rex commented on heyham88's story chapter in Chapter 1

    Interesting start to the tale, you've got some interesting characters, and have already started out with the drama of the truck crash. Gonna be fun to see where you take this. Good job! Now, where's that next chapter? <grin>
  25. Robert Rex
    Glad you're here! There's lots to read, people to meet, great genres to explore! You'll have a great time--and by all means, dive in and leave likes/reviews on the stories you read. Not only do authors love that, it's recognition that your voice is important. So relax, enjoy yourself! Welcome!
