  1. What some people call acceptance is really tolerance, but this isn't tolerance it is full blown acceptance and should be applauded. More stories like this are needed to promote acceptance.

  2. The nervous anxiety is brilliantly portrayed, you can feel the relief at the end.
  3. A good plot and what a cliffhanger at the end. It does warrant a follow up, but then with such an ending it leaves you to create your own. I'll bet that there are many different possible endings.

  4. Phew, emotional or what, such an emotional story about about a boy's pure unadulterated love for his brother. It just goes to show that it's not money that brings happiness, it's just pure unconditional love.
  5. Kids, you just gotta love 'em, even if they are only characters in a story, it's one with the ahh factor.
  6. Short, powerful and poignant, beautiful.
  7. This is a story full of Christmas Spirit, you can't read it and not feel it, and I'm reading it in August!! Maybe that should tell us that we don't need Christmas to feel that good and this story really helps.

  8. A great way to wrap up the 'Berman-Broman' saga, I still think it would make a brilliant film or even films. This is a series of stories that deserves an award and if was within my power to do so I would definitely give one. I know I'll be reading these stories again as I have many times before. Thank you Don for this gift.
  9. What can I say, no matter how many times I read this story I still feel the emotional effects of it and I know I will every time I read it. I'm more than sure that I'm not the only one who feels this. Now I have to read the next instalment again it can not be left unread.
  10. I gave up hope of trying to keep count of how many times I've read this story, it is still a great read and I know I'll read it again. It really is one of my all time favourites. If anyone hasn't read it then they are definitely missing out. Now I have to read the next instalment again. I wish that someone would make a film based on the Berman-Broman saga as I call it.

    New Brother

    A really good and very insightful story that looks at coming out from many different angles. The gay guy coming to terms with being gay and dealing with the different reactions from friends and family, the straight friend coming to terms with his best friend being gay and realising that it hasn't changed the friend or the friendship and how we all may need time to accept and realise it. One strong point is that we all may need time and should always keep the door open for each other and allow ourselves and others to rebuild bridges and friendships when possible. The other and possibly the most important is that acceptance not tolerance is key to it all. The fear of rejection is in-built in us all and is never to made light of.
  12. OMG Graeme what have you done to me, I've been up late and been late for work,why? Because you wrote a story with a different slant that was so good I had to read it all and couldn't stop till the end. I really enjoyed it and I'm sure many others will too.
  13. Phew, what a ride, I want more, there has to be more to a great story like this.
  14. There is so much realism in this story as reminds many of us and tells others of the real struggle within ourselves of our own acceptance and struggle to be true to ourselves. Beautifully written and very poignant. Thank you.
  15. Nephylim does it again, a multifaceted story that sends shivers down my spine, raises the goose bumps on my skin and still has me wanting more. Thank you again for a great read.
  16. Wow, a gripping story full of suspense that got my heart pounding at times. I would have liked one more chapter to tie up the loose ends and explain some of what happened, but the wind down was essential to the story. Another great contribution to be thankful for. I'll be continuing to read more of your work.

    The Game

    To use a common word often used here in England, I'm gobsmacked, what a fascinating read and what a journey. Definitely different I enthralled by it.

    Enigma

    A powerful story that is fictional but has so many parallels to real life. Well written and very moving, I just wish that the ending was real for those that are caught up in this type of nefarious industry. Nephelym you are a very talented writer and one to follow.
  19. An awesome story, but Sasha where's the sequel, the ending begs for one. I loved it and look forward to reading more of your work.
  20. Very well written and definitely open to a sequel telling of the progress of Alex/Sacha. The empathy shown for the feelings of an abused child is brilliant, I've worked with and fostered abused children and couldn't have done as good a job. While it is fiction it clearly demonstrates how abuse can and does affect people not just in the short term but for a life time. Hopefully this will open up people's minds and help at least some of the victims of abuse and those close to them.
  21. OMG I wasn't sure if was going to like this story, by the end of the first chapter I was gripped by it. I didn't like it I thoroughly enjoyed it and look forward to more like it. It was a great read.

  22. How good do I think this story is? Well it's the second time I've read it and I enjoyed it just as much as the first time. It still makes me laugh and cry and feel goose bumps in parts. Now I want to read the follow up.
  23. Wow, powerful and emotive.
  24. Hey what can I say except I want to be Rhyder, I loved it and want more.
  25. I was glued and riveted from start to finish. I felt it all, I cried, I laughed, I felt anger and warm tingly goose bumps. What a great writer, I was totally absorbed.
