I think you're seeing that I actually don't have a thing for wet butts. As I'm a lady.
Also, Gina pops up a lot in my stories too.. I am predictable with my damn names. You're now over halfway through, you've soldiered on... for better or worse.
Yeah, I'll take your word 100% as the honest truth, the alternative is to force @wildone to reread this story for me and call you a liar when you've lied to me. Could be a fun game. I think he's busy this weekend though, Canadian things probably.
I KNOW... I laughed, because you commented that the dog was next... and I glanced at the opening line of dialog and there she was... I can't even feel bad as you were warned.
I do hope Barbie is a nickname and I didn't name a character Barbie, I'll never forgive myself.
I think I remember Charlie being a walking punching bag, something I can't stand writing/reading now. Where the protagonist can't catch a break and life keeps dragging him down, punching/kicking while he's down, and he never catches a moment of peace.
Is this their first kiss? Right after a funeral.. ouch.
Carol, Charlie... well the C names are still prominent I see.
And cringe on the Doctor leaving something of that nature on the answering machine, my goodness.
Sorry if I do what you don't want done with the father figure... how many chapters are in this story, I'll have to look..
I just noticed that this story still suffers from the hidden formatting thing whenever stories were transitioned from Hosted Sites/the old version and onto Stories. I should probably rectify that and take away all that hidden formatting. I honestly don't know if I still have access to the original documents to these stories though, I'd have to look. I am notoriously bad about not backing up files to things...
Derek is homeless? Derek is also the name to one of my main gays in real life... I wonder if he appreciated being named in a story of mine... I think Derek is also a name that is similar to Gavin, I've used it multiple times, I'm thinking.
I'll remain in the dark about that, "but damn..." because I'm not going to reread this story. Charlie is one of my favorite names though. I may have to use it in new writing for a project I'll enjoy writing. I stand by my older works for what they are, but I'm guessing most people as established over the years as I am likely would've gotten rid of these really old stories by now... I don't know.
He left Duke? Well I guess we can safely say this story is based somewhere around North Carolina??? I think there's been a few stories of mine written in North Carolina for some reason. Shadows and TBY apparently was also based in North Carolina... and I think Are You Christian?
I'm not even from effing North Carolina... I've only been to that state a grand total of one time... and it was due to an alternative route going elsewhere.
He most certainly will not be! 😮 Sigh, sports balls. The story I started titled Ellis doesn't have sports balls either. Maybe since you're reading my early works and scaring the hell out of me I'll be pushed to start that... or other things. I do have other things, as you know... to think on. If this is an attempt to dangle something else more shiny in front of you, then your mission may be accomplished... just give me time!
And I'm still entirely in the dark. I may stay that way, I am very hard on my earlier works. If I try to linger here very long then I get weighed down by wanting to heavily edit, rewrite, delete it... and I lose motivation for other things.
I wish I knew. I don't have time to cringe my way through this story to find out. I remember nothing about it. I do know people absolutely hated how I ended this story, so much so that I wrote an "alternative" version because I was scared I made everyone mad at me... it was back in my younger, softer days.
Now I'm just a stone cold meanie.
Oh no... well you can't troll me too hard, because I remember nothing about this story other than how roughly written it was. Be gentle with my teenage years of writing... pretty pretty pretty please.
I'll be curious to see if you get all the way through this story though... and I don't know why you'd want your friends to suffer alongside you either. Some friend you are...
