  1. Eric gets uncomfortable under any sort of questioning. He’s not only trying hard to hide in plain sight, he’s not really used to anyone listening either. Thanks so much for reading, and for your comments!

    Thunder

    Wayne, this is awesome. Love the way you use the storm as a metaphor.

    GMA XXVI

    Such a sweet chapter, and a wonderful new life opens for CJ and Owen. They’re The Dads now. I don’t think Liebe will be spoiled rotten, but it’s certain that she’ll be well loved. Beautifully done.
  4. I love it! Awesome response to a wacky prompt!

    Time

    Chris walked away, unable to bear the burden of Tad’s illness. Nate is broken over it. Tad is indeed someone very, very special. At least Chris might understand Nate. As for poor Kent, he really doesn’t need car trouble on top of everything else. My heart breaks for them all.
  6. Thanks to you for taking us to Australia this time. And my hat is off to all who took time to respond. I’m especially struck by @Rigby Taylor‘s words: There've been loads of ‘Gay’ stories about the perils of ‘coming out’ and ‘finding oneself’, suggesting homosexuality is still a problem to be exorcised. There is so much truth in that.

    Chapter 2

    Jock is certainly an entertaining comrade. Danny Boy was lucky to grow up with him as a schoolmate. But now we begin to see that aspect of Danny that must remain hidden; for he hardly believes in it himself.

    Chapter 1

    Oh, the dread and anticipation of testing results! Some things never change. And you brought in one of my favorite authors, Gerald Durrell. How could I not be interested?
  9. You paint a picture of a rainy day idyll. I can see it in my mind’s eye. Very lovely!
  10. A few years ago, I had a highly territorial cardinal which spent most of its days launching furious attacks on its reflection in the windows on all sides of the house. Nothing seemed to dissuade it.

    Thank you, Adi. I’m very glad you liked it.
  12. Pete’s not an easy man to root for. Nobody much likes a hotheaded man who rants at the smallest errors. That he can turn on the charm can’t be a reassurance for Henry. If I were McAllister, I’d be watching very carefully. But at least he’s giving Pete a chance at redemption.

    Chapter 7

    Awesome story. What an excellent dose of revenge on someone who needed to be taken down several pegs. Kelly’s Dad was pretty good about telling-but-not-telling what he knew was the truth. What would the Muskrats do to top that?

    Voyageur

    You were most kind to read this poem, still more to leave a response. I’m very grateful you chose to read this, and glad you enjoyed it. Thank you very much!
  15. I liked your response to the Griselda prompt. I loved how you used tears and bear in two successive couplets, which spell so much the same, yet sound so different.

    Death's Door

    This is beautiful. You speak to far too many experiences, and remind us of what’s most important. And remember I love you, too.

    Voyageur

    Dream or reality? He went back after all. But you’re right that the beat is infectious and turns the head to thinking about music and rhythm. Thank you for reading this, and for your response.

    Voyageur

    Even if it was poetry...That’s great to hear! Thank you for reading this despite its form, and for your response. It just came off the pen that way...

    Voyageur

    I’m very glad you liked this. Your words are wonderfully encouraging. Thank you!

    Chapter 2

    I’m wondering about what this idea might be. Can’t wait to find out.

    Chapter 1

    I liked this chapter very much. You give me a vivid picture of the scene, and of the characters who I am already growing to like.
  22. I have enjoyed watching the relationship between Geoff and Tony grow and blossom. Theirs is a story of quiet delight in each other. It should be so for everyone, no matter who their hearts are drawn to. Perhaps Joy can see that at last.

    I’m very glad you could connect with this, both the story and the form. If anyone ever recites this (or reads it aloud) at a campfire or cheerful gathering, then my spirit will be there, and smiling. Thank you so much for your encouraging response.

    Voyageur

    You were most kind in your response. Thank you. It’s especially good that the kind of dream sense I’d hoped for worked. I m glad you liked this!

    Sam McGee was part of my growing up. Perhaps it whispered in my unconscious ear as I wrote. I’m very happy you enjoyed this!
