This is so wonderfully tragic, I’m beginning to worry about you a little bit @Ronyx.

Ha ha - because it’s a future story I’m not going to clarify, other than to say that I was speaking more generally about the story.

Wha.... who is this? Why have they not been in my life before now? @BHopper2 I think I’m developing a full on man-crush

Ha ha - me too! He’s someone else’s boyfriend, but they’re all in almost-but-not-quite-finished-writing/editing at the moment.

I’m really enjoying this story, keep it coming!

Finally - you’re a hard guy to win round

I think I know that feeling, what was I thinking!? Bloody elves.

Yeah, that @glennish can be like that And the cute guy? That’s Chris, he’s totally awesome and at some time early next year you’ll be able to read about him some more

Thank you

Yes, although I’ve not done anything like this before, I guessed it might be something like that. I’m just not so good with unclear boundaries.

OK - sorry if I’m being an idiot, but what do we do with the story when it’s done? Do we just post it? Do we send it to @Cia? I might have missed something obvious here

I’m experiencing a whole new type of excitement from my writing, which I wasn’t at all expecting. When I first post a story, it’s very gratifying to see it being read, to see the ‘likes’ being clicked, and engaging with the comments from readers. As has been covered elsewhere, I’m sure that this is one of the things that contribute to why I write and post my stories online. But then the story ends, and the comments trail off, and the general sense of my story being a ‘live’ thing seems to shift rapidly towards it just being ‘a thing’. In short - the buzz is quite short term. I still see myself as being very much new here, and I only have a couple of stories posted, but the experience has been similar in both cases. Whilst it being a seemingly predictable outcome, I’m aware that I miss the sense of people engaging with my work. And I can deal with that, maybe it even prompts me to continue writing new stories, who knows. But now, something new is happening. For the first time I’m experiencing people finding my ‘old’ story (yes I know, it’s hardly old by any standards as I’ve only been here a few months), and enjoying it, and even making contact with me about it. For me it feels like re-discovery, but of course for them it’s the first time, so it’s actually a discovery, and I’m realising that there’s an enduring quality to this writing thing. It’s pretty awesome isn’t it? Anyway, that’s all, no deep and meaningful questions posed, I just wanted to share how much I’m enjoying this Have a great day. Sam

I truly love how you might think that made things clearer But thanks.

Damn it, a sports question, my nemesis. I’m going to go with Ice Hockey? And yes, this is based solely on the emoji.

Are you talking in English? Should I know what this means?

@Bndmetl and @glennish - there’s just one problem, I’m absolutely certain that Trick is already a thousand times better at skating than me. Although, I could always get Anders (that name again) to help me

I’m pretty sure @Wesley8890 means ‘awesome, and depressing’

Any time

I’m happy they finally got it together and got together. I don’t know why, but this chapter made me laugh. Keep it up.

In a slightly more serious tone - ahem - ‘short’ is a pretty subjective view. I think what i actually meant was I just want more of your story. There’s no lack of detail or significant information in what you write, so no padding required, just... more please.

Not at all, it was just the right amount of depressing.

I've finally realised what it is that infuriates me so much about your writing... it's always way too short! And for the record, I'm with the majority view here, Cody should totally sort out the Mason problem, although I can't imagine Trick enjoying that very much. Thanks, as always.

Thanks very much I’m happy that you enjoy it.
