    I'm a geek. Totally. I have 2 engineering degrees and I'm working on a third now. I run Gay Authors... including all the software design for GA.Stories. (didn't do the programming. I don't have that sort of time) Star Trek, Babylon 5, SeaQuest (Johnathan Brandis was yummy, may he RIP) Almost all my books and games would be classed as Fantasy or Sci-Fi. As for hanging out... I don't much at all. Though I'll take someone cuddly that likes sci-fiand action movies ... and I'm 6ft tall.

    Quite interesting. I would imagine that the holing and capsizing and then sinking of the Andrea Doria is formost on the Italian minds. My first thought when I saw this was "Geesh! Another one?"

    Some good advice there...

    Chapter 11

    Myr commented on Don H's story chapter in Chapter 11

    This chapter was more than a tad depressing.

    Myr commented on Don H's story chapter in Chapter 7

    I agree with the last reviewer. It was a very mean way to start the chapter. And not very friendly way to end it either.

    Myr commented on Don H's story chapter in Chapter 5

    Every so often I forget the bad jokes in this story... the quick reread is enough to make me groan over them...

    This story just zips right along in the early chapters. Jason is more than a little annoying.

    I just loved Momma Broman in this chapter.

    Chapter 2

    Myr commented on Don H's story chapter in Chapter 2

    One of the things that has most impressed me about Don's stories is that he brings religion and faith into them. Gays in general are quick to discard Christianity because of the bigotry of some (but not all) of its adherents. I'm glad to see it because I personally believe that man needs something to believe in other than himself.

    Chapter 1

    Myr commented on Don H's story chapter in Chapter 1

    Don, this story hooked my interest the first time I read it years ago and it continues to do so now. My perspective has changed quite a lot, I've noticed, but I still like the story. From a technical standpoint, the characters are a bit more archtypical and on this site, the 'rich gay boy' is used a LOT. Some of the newer people reviewing have been harsher than I feel is warranted, for for no other reason than they didn't read far enough. This first chapter was first posted in November of 1999 on Nifty. In the past 13 years, your writing has gone from interesting to deep and compelling. Good start to a great story.

    Great advice!

    I wholeheartedly agree with Cia's review. Working it Out is one of my favorites. In particular, I think Don does a wonderful job of addressing religion and showing that you can be both gay and Christian. Don also has a great story called Beloved that is currently in process. (careful though, it is already over 540,000 words and still going)

    Is anyone on GA playing Star Wars: The Old Republic? I'm thinking of starting a Guild for us if enough people are playing. Post here if you are and if you're interested in making a Guild.

    I have been meaning to get back down to DC. This would be a great excuse. June would be best. I'm locked up in classes until the end of May and can't get away until after that.

    Chapter 27

    I enjoyed this chapter as well. I'm really looking forward to Kandric meeting his grandfather...

    Well said Iarwain. Sidd: I missed this earlier, but this is hardly constructive criticism, in fact, it is a blatant rule violation that if said in the Soapbox would give you a 2 week vacation.

    Errr... ummm... dkstories has nearly 3 million words of stories posted and the vast majority of those are either fanfiction, science fiction or fantasy. Most of those have a heavy political thriller type thing going on and little to no typical gay angst stuff. Saying there are none is a stretch. In fact... https://www.gayauthors.org/stories/browse/genre/ There seems to be quite a large number of stories in different genres.

    No, the writing here is meant to be read. Literature is written to show how big your dick is when it comes to using big words most people choke on. It is largely unreadable unless you ate a dictionary as a kid.

    Howdy Neighbor! (I'm in Rochester too) You're supposed to look up the prof before you sign up for them. And I've always had frustration with subjective 'soft' subjects like English and such. I much prefer objective things like Math and engineering.
