For those that follow Comsie, you've gotten a number of story updates. That was just me updating the Story Rating to comply with Google's complaints.

Thanks everyone! Here is to many more!

You left it there?! great chapter though

Happy Birthday Cia!

This sucks for everyone. Robin was an artistic genius. May he rest in peace and peace be with his family.

I have been trying to think how to put into words what I feel about my friend Robert since I heard he passed away. It is difficult, to say the least. I have been friends with Robert since not long after his arrival here on Gay Authors. We bonded over our shared love of the stories written by dkstories. In fact, we both loved the one story that we never posted here on Gay Authors. It's over on Nifty if you want to figure it out. When the time came for me to finally break Gay Authors away from my own personal business and set up a corporation to run and control Gay Authors, Robert was the first on board. The R from CDEJR is for Robert. In this day and age with our hyper partisan politics, our business partnership is a bit strange. As many people know, Robert worked for the Democrat Party of California and was a liberal supporter of Barrack Obama. In politics, I'm his polar opposite. Robert though, contrary to many these days, understood the simple truth of strength through diversity. We have had a balance here at Gay Authors and it has been Robert's quiet, steady hand keeping us sane. Each of the admins on the site serves a role. In many cases, these roles aren't visible to the public. Robert was our quiet consensus builder. He served the role as Member Advocate because he could lean out and listen to all sides of something and come up with an equitable solution. It wasn't the flashy stuff or the out front stuff, but it was a large part of the glue that kept us together. I can't put into words how much he will be missed by me and by our community. May you Rest in Peace, friend. ***UPDATE*** Many people have asked where they can send flowers. We have noticed this message from Robert's family: "If you would like to make a donation in lieu of flowers, Robert's Charity of choice is The Trevor Project. ( www.trevorproject.org ) or you can help in the fight against the cancer that took Robert by donating to The Lymphoma Research Foundation (www.lymphoma.org). Thank you."

This is a great loss for us all. Rest in Peace my friend.

Very cool to hear! Thanks for the review. I am currently (very slowly) rewriting and completing this. It'll be awhile as I'm not going to release anything until it is all done and edited.

Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes!

You will be missed, my friend.

I wrote this back in the day where I was wondering if I could write sex in a story. lol. Since I was also focusing on Harry Potter at the time, I figured why not do something unique? Thanks for the review.

Thanks. I'm glad you liked it. This story was one of my practice short stories.

Thanks! I appreciate you taking the time to review

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it! Cia was pounding me on the "show it" thing. I'm glad to see it worked.

Fun story Cia. Much different from my usual choices, but good.

Great story! I really enjoyed it a lot.

Well, yes! In addition to the longer stuff I'm working on, I promised Cia and Renee I would be posting stuff in the anthologies. In fact, I already have a few pages written for the next one, though on my Sci-Fi series not the fantasy one yet. Glad you liked it.

Nicely written and quite an interesting story

That was an enjoyable little tale.

Great job Bill! Totally different twist for the theme.

I found the plot of this story quite interesting and I enjoyed the story.

I have a Bachelors of Science in an engineering discipline and two Masters of Science in related fields. I just completed the second Masters in January. I have taught as adjunct faculty at my school in the past, but I am not doing so now. I might go for the PhD later in life, but it's not on my agenda now. Working full time and doing a Masters really took a lot out of me. I do have to do continuing education for both my professional certifications and for work requirements. So even without a degree, I'll be adding more knowledge to my skull.

Thanks Bill! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks! I owe my editor Cia for some of that vividness. She kept poking at me for more details.
