  1. “Fucking middle of the night, fucking Brooklyn, fucking top floor of a fucking five-floor walkup,” Erik muttered to himself as he reached the landing at the top of the stairs. He took a second to catch his breath before knocking and noticed jangling and thudding sounds coming from the other side of the door. He banged loudly, and the sounds stopped. A moment later, the locks clicked and the door opened to reveal a half-naked, sweaty, out-of-breath Ryan with his hair all in a mess. Erik smirked
  2. What? Nothing to see here...
  3. When reading GA...
  4. Thanks, Lisa. It would be fun for Erik and Ryan to watch the video together, wouldn't it? Ryan just might die of embarrassment, though we'll see!
  5. Thanks, Ron. Appreciate the review.
  6. Ryan moved around behind the bar with a practiced ease, his brain only half aware of what he was doing and his body acting on muscle memory. Glasses were arranged in neat rows, mixers and shot glasses placed at their stations, kegs hooked up to their taps. There was something soothing about going through familiar motions, and in the several weeks since that scene, Ryan wanted nothing more than to immerse himself in the familiar. “Hey.” Amanda gave him a wary greeting. Ryan returned with a nonc
  7. Thanks for the mention!
  8. There's been a #cuteanimaltweetoff over on Twitter the last day or so. These were the two entries from the Toronto Zoo. https://twitter.com/TheTorontoZoo/status/824626686054592512 https://twitter.com/TheTorontoZoo/status/824621183731691520

  10. Thanks! I guess this could be categorized as flash fiction. Marcus and Andy are characters from another story I wrote a little while back, which you may have read at one point I've been editing and re-working that piece, so these boys were fresh on my mind.
  11. “There is no way I’m wearing that!” “Why not?” “Because!” Marcus waved at the contraption as if the gesture was explanation enough. “What?” Andy flipped the black cotton vest back and forth, inspecting it for defects. “What’s wrong with it?” “What do you mean, ‘What’s wrong with it?’ It’s got nipples!” “Well, of course it has nipples, that’s the whole point. It’s supposed to mimic a woman’s breasts.” Andy held the vest up against his body and the two clear nipples, framed by white plastic a
  12. Thanks, clo!
  13. Thanks, azaroth!
  14. Thanks Val! Glad you liked it
  15. If your computer combusts from my writing, then I'll happily pay for a replacement Thanks for the encouraging words, I'm so glad you're enjoying how things are progressing. And link to the thread is here: https://www.gayauthors.org/forums/topic/42531-between-the-push-and-pull-by-hudson-bartholomew/
  16. Cigarette breath, indeed! But don't worry, it's just for show Glad that you're enjoying the story!
  17. I'm glad it helps! Searching google images for cool tattoos is one of my procrastination techniques, so I was happy that I didn't have to call it procrastination this time
  18. “So you guys are going to sit facing each other on the couch. Ryan, you’ll have your notebook in your lap, taking notes. Got it?” Gary gave them some instructions as they set up for the scene. Ryan nodded and fiddled with the blank notebook in his hands. This scene should have been the easiest of the ones they had worked on this week; it was the only scene with actual sex in it, the only type of scene that he’d had any experience with. And yet, he couldn’t shake the tickling restlessness in his
  19. This.

    Sasha - I am so impressed with the level of detail you've woven into this story (and other stories). I can only imagine the amount of research that you put into your writing, and I aspire to be as detail-oriented as you are. Details about Toronto, northern Ontario, train schedules and travel times, Emmett's research area, Jian's Chinese heritage--all feel authentic and accurate. This is coming from a Chinese-speaking Torontonian. I think that's why this is one of my favourite stories of yours. The only question I had was this term Jian used: "Tángguǒ." I don't recognize it and have been racking my brain guessing what it is in Chinese. Help?
  21. azaroth noted in a chapter 3 review that Erik's tattoo was difficult to imagine. So I asked Google what it had and these are fairly close approximations, particularly the shading in the first picture, and way the smoke travels in the second picture. Hope that helps!
  22. I'm going to be self-deprecating right now and assume that no one will have any real interest in discussing my story about Ryan and Erik (porn stars who start out as colleagues--i.e. get paid to have sex with each other--and potentially develop into something more). But if on the off chance someone does want to discuss, here's the place to do it. Between the Push and Pull
