  1. These speak of a frustration I share. You are far more eloquent than I can hope to be.

    Don't Go There

    It’s beautifully written, with an insistent rhythm. But I’m sad with its hurt and sense of injury.

    GMA XXIII

    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?

    Chapter 1

    You’re so very kind to comment on this first foray into SciFi. I hope it successfully stands up to time.
  5. Thank you for your stubbornness in writing poetry; I admire you all the more for it.

    Round Two

    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.

    Dreaming.

    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.

    Bone Deep

    Isn’t it, though? I think this piece is brilliant. May I use it as an example for my students next year?

    Bone Deep

    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.
  10. Love it: if you let a guy undress you... Thank you for another great prompt snapshot.
  11. Good morning, everyone! Calculus exams today...

    Boyfriends

    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.
  13. 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.
  14. Good morning everyone! Physics exams to proctor first!
  15. Good morning everyone. Physics exams, then physical therapy today...
  16. Hope you feel better soon, Thorn. Good morning, everyone.

    #759 The Troll

    I’m completely intrigued. What an interesting take on the web-based age of communication.

    Park Life.

    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.

    Bruno

    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.

    GMA XXII

    Well. In one chapter we get an anti-corruption sting operation, and Brad taking a big step forward into life. Graft like what you described is what undermines everyone's trust in civic institutions. Nice that CJ and Owen found a great special agent to help them sort things out. Nice also that Brad may be getting a chance to develop something new. I had to laugh at the improvement on the Liston Winery's fortunes. But Ritchie's news - you left us hanging. Of course we need to hear more. And I'm supposed to wait a week?

    Kiss

    Everyone should be so lucky as to have a lovely, sunlit date with a wonderful guy like Tom. If I were Charlie, I'd take it just as slow as Tom wants - he seems to be worth it.

    Going places

    I enjoyed this chapter for many reasons (not least of all the descriptions of food available at the farmer's market; now I'm hungry), and for the simple joys of being together that Geoff and Tony share. I enjoyed it despite a certain Ex-boyfriend Who Shall Not Be Named. That single-minded fellow will never know what Geoff and Tony have - wonder how and when he will learn to grow up. Thank you for this chapter.
  23. Huzzah for the clean inbox! Mine was full of demanding notes about the exam schedule.... Oh, lucky Number Two! Nobody is ever exempt from my exams...
  24. Hope you have an awesome day. I’ll be thinking of you while I do exam review with 17 year olds...
