    Chapter 1

    Thank you very much for reading, and especially for your comment. Your point is very well taken. However, I didn't want anyone in that future figuring out how to pull off what Loy managed to do. He and Kee needed to be completely safe. Thanks again.

    Wow. If I'd had more time, maybe I could have made some deals for product placement in the story!

    Chapter 1

    Thank you for reading this, tim. I was drawn to this by a friend who showed me how we are being erased from history. I wondered what a future would be like if they started erasing us directly. And what might happen if someone found a way to erase them back...

    Thank you, dear Gary, for reading this. Even more, thanks for noting that little filip of the Otis Lift. I couldn’t resist. Four hundred years and still going. That world is a cruel and dystopian one. Loy and Kee found their way back to ours; maybe they can show us the way to something better. Thanks a million for reading.

    Chapter 1

    I am very grateful you took time to read this. Yes, it’s dystopian, but much of the current future vision looks this way. I fear for what we may do to ourselves. However Loy did it, he managed to restore Kee to himself, and change the future stream of that multiverse. I have no doubt Loy could become immensely wealthy and powerful, if he wanted. But maybe he’ll just be content with Kee.

    Thank you very much for reading this story. I agree that the vision is kind of grim. Sometimes the world feels that way. I think your reflection on the evolutionary purpose to our sexuality is interesting. Regardless of its selective uses (or lack thereof), it seems some are anxious to hasten our demise and erase us from history.

    Chapter 1

    Thank you for taking time to read this story. I really appreciate it. It’s not a terribly cheerful vision of a possible future, but maybe it’s a future that doesn’t need to happen. That would be good.
  8. But the dream occurred as a dream; and what it was might be or say just as healing as the event itself. Whatever that dream meant to you, it’s incarnation as a poem is quite powerful.
  9. I feel awful for Huey, who just got badly hurt by being a friend to the wrong person, in the wrong place, in the wrong time. The predatory Durkin brothers committed an atrocity by pulverizing a gentle soul. I wonder what will happen to Huey and to the Wimmer family now?
  10. Huey is definitely playing with seven different kinds of fire; hanging out with Katy, burrowing into Brandon's secrets, and probing the depths of his own nightmares, count but three of them. Even with the relief of the fight, you ratchet up the tension still further. Let's hope Huey has a return Amtrack ticket ready. He may need it very quickly.
  11. What a setup. Huey is in for some real trouble. And Brandon is about to have a huge heartache, because one day soon, he won't be able to go home anymore. Home won't be there. You describe the way some men discover things about themselves in college that eat away at their souls for months or years thereafter. It's not easy to write about that hurt, but you do it very well.
  12. Thank you for writing about people - real, ordinary people - who aren't glamorous, young and perfect. Thank you for giving us some of their stories. Despite their conditions, Charlie, Mal and John have been returned some of their dignity in my eyes.

    Chapter 12

    What Woody did with Jeff on their own was good. But getting online was something else again - something that might seriously hurt both boys. Even if they are both okay with being out, and everything stays relatively safe, they may not realize what they are getting into.

    Well, you write so convincingly I believe Gilbert. Sorry, Hagan... And I wonder if Hagan will come back to see Gilbert again without as much of a scowl on his face or a chip on his shoulder. What sort of stupid things do Wyverns do, I wonder? Great story. I'm kind of hoping this is a first chapter...

    Chapter 1

    Oh, my. What’s happening now? And I wonder if the reporter just got his first story?
  16. Thank you, Renee! New stories to read and enjoy...

    Chapter 1

    What a fantastic story! Stuart did the right thing, and his fighting back on Cyril’s behalf means Fred is about to be on the receiving end for a change. And seeing Lucas and Joel again made me smile. Take a bow. Take several.

    Chapter 1

    Something tickled. He smiled and opened his eyes, feeling Kee nuzzle into his neck again. In the darkness, soft kisses were planted on the skin of his collarbone. He moved his hand to stroke the smooth surface of Kee’s backside. “Morning, Loy,” Kee murmured into his shoulder, between nips on his flesh. “God, haven’t you had enough?” “Never. You’re delicious.” Kee’s kisses moved lower down his neck and chest. “We have to get up soon.” His lover presse
  19. They lived happily together. And then something ripped them apart.

    What an awesome story. Beautifully told.
  21. Fascinating. I particularly liked the questions about tropes and outlines. So many illuminating responses! Thank you to everyone who replied, and to Renee for making this feature come together.
  22. Juncos are often overlooked as merely grey birds of little interest. Yet they’re adaptable, subtle, and full of nuanced variation. Goldfinches are flashy, brilliant, eye catching- quite a contrast. Yet they share feeders and their interplay can fascinate. Thanks for reading these!
  23. Our winter feeders must have many similar guest lists. I’m very happy you enjoyed these.
  24. I will keep looking out the window for inspiration. Thank you for reading these, and your smile prompts my own.
  25. Thank you for reading this, tim. I’m so glad you liked it.
