You achieved your purpose very well. You’re right; the happy ending would have felt too easy, too much like fiction.
-
This story is thought provoking and challenging. It’s something I’ll read over and again, as it provides another perspective on how god and creation interact.

What a great poem. Hymns can be sung in any setting, and particularly in love. I especially liked the first stanza
-
Wow. What a bus dream you had!
-
I hurt for you, and weep for the pain you endured. I might have been cheered by a happy ending, but you did right to show us something more real and true. I can hope for Chris now, and that’s enough.
-
Thanks for this chapter. It’s a critically important step for Chris. Ryan was such a serendipitous dinner guest.
-
These speak of a frustration I share. You are far more eloquent than I can hope to be.
-
It’s beautifully written, with an insistent rhythm. But I’m sad with its hurt and sense of injury.

They’re Home for each other. I love that idea. You have shown us over and over that it’s true. Ritchie is standing by Lucy, but I imagine he will need to do more than stand by; it can be a really difficult and emotionally devastating procedure for her. At the same time, I worry what CJ and Owen’s actions might do to their relationship with Brett and César. Will they take a dim view of what they did once they find out?

You’re so very kind to comment on this first foray into SciFi. I hope it successfully stands up to time.
-
Thank you for your stubbornness in writing poetry; I admire you all the more for it.
-
This has the makings of an abusive relationship, and one that will make both Chris and Will unhappy. I wish for happy endings, but I know that these don’t always happen, not in real life.
-
What is so scary and sad about this chapter is that it is so true. Not every gay person in a fundamentalist church is outed, but we live with some form of exile, whether it’s within ourselves or with the world we were taught to believe in, or from the idea of benevolent providence. Exile is difficult for anyone; it’s not surprising that suicide is a common path people try to alleviate the pain. This was too well done.
-
Isn’t it, though? I think this piece is brilliant. May I use it as an example for my students next year?
-
Difficult you may have found it, but I think you carried it off very, very well. It's a great challenge. I like the conversation you built into so very little space.

Love it: if you let a guy undress you... Thank you for another great prompt snapshot. -
Good morning, everyone! Calculus exams today...
-
Oh, hell yes. They make a great pair, as you’ve written them. It may be fiction, but you give light and hope with it. Thanks.

Great poem, Gary. Purity and holiness are in the creation, as it was, not as we would form it to be. Thank you for this.
-
Good morning everyone! Physics exams to proctor first!
-
Good morning everyone. Physics exams, then physical therapy today...
-
Hope you feel better soon, Thorn. Good morning, everyone.
-
I’m completely intrigued. What an interesting take on the web-based age of communication.
-
I wanted to “love” and “anger” in reaction here. I settled on “sad.” It makes me incredibly sad that some feel how love may be expressed means god cannot love them. That’s horrible. So much damage has been done with this thinking.

Well, let’s see how well Charlie gets on with Tom’s grandparents. But at least Bruno approves. Will Charlie ask Tom back to the city with him? Can’t wait for the next chapter.
