    Chapter 5

    Hey OzLoGo, sorry I haven't been able to reply to you sooner. I am traveling rurally on vacation and on the road, so the connection to the internet is bad, plus its good to have some downtime. People sometimes have a tendency to skim which is a shame, I suppose it goes to show that if you do you are bound to miss out on important connections. I want to engage the reader more, and having them read every word carefully is awesome. I intend to do it for the remainder of this story which will be riddled with secrets and hints.

    I suppose it is in the dialogue, Sherlock is a little more expressive with his word choices, whereas Jame Bond... aka Watson now, is more restrictive, this could come to show levels of education, ability in English and could possibly help distinguish between what character is which. I guess you could say Sherlock tries to be over the top, and Watson, not so much. Also once we get into the bulk of the manuscript, we'll get past the generic I like football and I like books. Thanks for sticking with me I hope you enjoy.

    Thank you I am glad you like the story so far, and that it has left you in want. I have never been a sporty kid growing up, I was always building things, inventing games, stories, acting. I suppose my niche is entertaining through storytelling.

    Chapter 5

    Thank you, I hope you continue to enjoy the series, the next couple of chapters will be delayed, however, due to my fourth of July special which comes out the 1st Of July, and with my 2-week vacation, which I am traveling and the internet access is not the best. I hope this is something that does not put you off and you will come back to the series when I resume posting in mid-July. I will continue posting on Patreon, but I can't say I will be able to update all other outlets over the course of two weeks. As camping and writing are hard to pull off, especially in the 30-Celsius heat.

    To Sherlock, I have transferred the power of Kratos via FedEx; you should receive it within 2-3 working days. I presume here is where the two of us will beg to differ. I would not in all of my days lose sleep over something as stupid as homework. Sleep is much too valuable to lose rest to something extremely petty. Teachers would not suffer sleep for you, therefore why should you for them. If I do homework, which is even a hassle to get me to sit down, it will solely be in a quick burs

    Chapter 3

    The idea behind the penpal idea is to do away with the character completely and focus solely on the personalities of the boys, people are usually quick to judgment, I wanted the characters in the story to be able to grow emotionally without being physically present, I believe the idea is simple but quite honest done in this manner. And you may never know, the boy might meet in person, I reckon we'll find out as time progresses.

    Thrilled you like it, I hope you enjoy the story
  8. I believe many people can relate, whether male, female or whatever. If you see someone hot your going to look, or at least in your very mind say, that person is pretty attractive. The story is meant to be short, I have quite a few projects going at the moment, and I don't have the heart in this project to make it a full book or anything. Sometimes the short things are special. I am delighted your enjoyed the little short.
  9. Thank you for going out of the way to check out the picture; I tried my best to emulate the picture and build my own story upon it. I am glad you liked it; I enjoyed telling it.

    Chapter 4

    Theoretically, I am just answering what the other character has said, plus adding some of what the current character is asking. I suppose if you are reading it, it will appear as a two-sided conversation within the one letter, with one person. A lot of people have a tendency to skim over content, and more frequently the likes of letters and manuals because people get sidetracked easily, they want to get to the bottom of the letter, to see what the point is as easy. Although I suppose, I prefer when I pay attention to what is being said in most body of texts, therefore, I am probably the reason as to make the reader, read more slowly trying to pick up on details. About four or five days ago, I was talking to my partner and I asked him if he could spot any of the subtle hints I have dropped so far, although he said no, so I was like "yay." Of course, I am evil so I spelled it out to him, he said it was a good idea, but he thanked me far from enthusiastically from me ruining it for him. I suppose Sherlock is a little bit of a brain box, he can be sarcastic and a little reserved, which I suppose is a nice effect. Perhaps Sherlock is geeky, or perhaps he is someone close to the protagonist, who knows... the question is do you really know the person who sits next to you in school, the assumption is probably not, even if they are a good friend, not that Sherlock is a friend, however. Just maybe I will let them meet, I'll see I have some notion in my head, and I have been thinking, how do I get them to meet, I guess time will tell. The idea behind You & I is to grow a bond through strickly personalities, without knowing the identity of the other person, or what they look like. We are very special creatures, they say don't judge a person, nor judge a book by its cover, except we are all guilty of this. I too can relate to having a friend far distance, and having not skyped or anything like that; it comes down to the bond you develop, but as well as the mystery of the said person. Humans love suspense and question, once the question is gone, it loses its appeal.
  11. Thank you, although I believe it is adequate since the protagonist is recalling an experience which happened thirty years prior, hence increased vocabulary selection.
  12. What do you do when you see a cute boy while out on a routine jog. For William, the youngster takes a much-deserved break, by buying a milkshake in a small plaza, where he sees a boy who catches his interest. What starts off as a curiosity soon builds up to a clumsy mistake and coincidently, ends up making the boys meet face to face. What will be said? Will the cat come out of the bag that William has been infatuated with him for weeks or how William turned up most days at the same time in the court to catch a glimpse?
  13. Love In Paris D.K. Daniels There comes the point in every man's existence that the opportunity arises for one to reflect on his life, concerning such a period, adolescence. Since I slave presently over my keyboard, I can't help but remember a place; a time, and a particular person to which I have never spoken of before in full context, until now. Only for today, I have come to recognize thirty years later the uniqueness of an encounter, where I stumbled across a handsome boy, in

    To Mr. James Bond, Yes, please do, send the power of the gods I require it. I spent all last night having to do algebra. By the point, I had concluded my assignments, my mind was spinning with all the problems that were required to be solved. Actually, my head is still paining me today at the amount of pages our math teacher lumbered us with. Do educators never take into account how much homework we get from several other teachers? They say they are busy correcting our exams on an occa

    Chapter 3

    @OzLoGo , I am sorry you have had trouble the first couple of chapters, although I am glad you are able to read it with ease now. I hope you will be able to enjoy the story now that it appears the random thoughts are all connected. Sometimes I have a messy brain when I jot down everything, I usually vomit it all out and then I need to make sense of so people can read it. I have also had a friendship via the internet, so I guess I am trying out the concept of a friend online, except I am completely making what I am writing up because I want a level of mystery to John White. I am no teacher, I have only been out of secondary school for 4 years, and I spent some of that studying and finding myself, so I haven't really had a career as so to speak. I have always had a thing about telling stories, I never pieced things together before trying writing about a year ago for the first time in my life, and I have blown up with the story. It is what I like to do and I enjoy it. I wouldn't mind doing the line of work long term as long as I can support myself for it. I always had the idea that kids cannot learn from a textbook. The only way someone can learn is by doing, I suppose I jumped in at the deep end when I began writing, I believe I am getting better, day by day.

    Chapter 3

    To Sherlock, Does that imply you are a detective? Figuring you chose to be called Sherlock? I recently completed binge-watching season four of the TV show on Netflix, I assume it was on Monday. It is probably the reason I got in trouble, or it was the last straw anyhow. I dozed off and got into shit in class the following morning for not finishing my English essay. Therefore, thank you very much, Sherlock… Do you possess a Watson, can I be the guy who tags along because you sound intelligent

    Chapter 2

    I glad you liked the newest installment, I intend to write, although all fingers and brain power is aimed towards my fourth of July special at the moment. I will be updating this story in between when my brain ain't overrun.

    Chapter 2

    Thanks Well the worse hasn't arrived yet, as things progress who knows what will happen. And yeah they are from two different peers groups so I suppose it would have effects befriending each other, especially James Bond lol. When I set out to write I wanted them to have the same humor and outlook on life, so that is what brings them closer, I already have a plot twist in my head, which I can't wait to write when I get to it. I am enjoying your story also, perhaps I'll be able to catch up now that you have put the epilogue lol. I will finish it, I am just bouncing around so many things awh.

    Chapter 2

    Sounds like you have your hands full lol when I usually sit down to read I read in bulk because there is not enough hours in the day, but nonetheless I make time for reading and writing. Yesterday I read some sixty pages in about two hours, which I find I have gotten slower lol because my brain is full lol.

    Chapter 2

    Ah okay sorry I didn’t make it clear, I assume most people read it that way when they are writing and reading a letter. Yeah of course several points are introduced, and since some things are going to correspond with the previous letter, given they are pen-pals it might be a thing in the future that I will mention something briefly from the previous chapter, recording thier reaction on what the proviso is chapter said beforehand. And it’s grand lol, I suppose it can get confusing I have released a lot in the last month or so and if you are reading other people’s content also, it may get over welcoming, it common to overlook something, hell I do it all the time.

    Scene 19

    Lol, nawh its grand. One gets busy I understand, hooray to me, at least your revisiting the bits of story you forget... because of me. lol
  23. D.K. Daniels

    Scene 20

    I mean, come on how cool would that be with Nessa riding a rainbow unicorn, then before the big clash of fairy dust and buckets of water Nessa has her battlecry. I suppose I'll have to keep reading and guessing the not-at-all-obvious plot points lol
  24. D.K. Daniels

    Scene 21

    Ah, I suppose it will be the day a nurse will bring a fruit salad, rather than the horrible hospital food usually gets, everyone knows the best part of hospital food is the jelly. Let's hope for Nessa that her life does get better, but as they say, no pun to my story lol, its darkest before the dawn.
  25. D.K. Daniels

    Scene 22

    Ah what can I say, I am reading a lot of books and at the same time, I am writing five stories lol, it's about juggling I suppose, but no doubt I will finish your story. Although I am sorry for the lengthy responses also, just know that I haven't lost interest lol.
