    A Queer Encounter

    I don't know what has happened, @W_L, but your comment above has enabled me to get started on my first novella. The juices are flowing but not so creatively as to attract @Talo Segura's atention 😉
  2. I share Peter’s opinion. This was a great chp as the loose ends begin to get tied. V nicely done.

    Lovely. And quirky. And funny.

    Really, really good stuff 👏

    Chapter 2

    A really enjoyable tale. Good memories of my visits long ago to Sydney. 😊
  6. The analogy with chess challengers etc., brings the two themes of the story together really well. A good chp.

    Chapter 1

    It was a pleasure to get a first read! The story is so clever as well as utterly beautiful. Last week we were in the mountains 100 miles NW of here. I have never seen such wonderful colours. The poplar trees had bright yellow leaves contrasting with the “boring” evergreens. Tossing armfuls of leaves in the air we got some amazing photos of our friends, especially one who won’t see another autumn but was the happiest of us all.
  8. Wow, I missed this dreadful news. I’m so sad for you guys. I hope that knowing your online friends are sending their love gives you both a good feeling to help. Poor you and poor Tim. mega hugs from Spain, Gary xxxx

    Merry Christmas

    I totally agree. No apologies are necessary. When a chp arrives from you it is always a red letter day, so many thanks and, please, NO PRESSURE! un abrazote, Gary
  10. I think virtually everyone in the story has come along way which is why it is so pleasurable to read. I think this is one of @Robert Hugill’s best so far. So enjoyable

    Will, the sexologist comes to the fore! A double dose of @Mark Arbour for the holiday here in Spain today! Thank you 😊

    A Queer Encounter

    Got a couple of ideas but nothing clear yet, sadly. Want to do a murder/detective story but needs serious work. At Christmas we are in the wilds of the Pyrenees for a week. Perhaps I will get inspired….. (look up

    Well, you scared me! Glad it’s daylight here.
  18. I fell in love with this as soon as I read it. A haunting, beautifully-written tale which takes us into the otherworldliness of tree spirits. Don’t be put off, it’s a story that works on multiple levels. A joy to read.

  19. I so agree re “erbs” ! Why is it done?
  20. Four people arrive at the cabin for their first non-digital meet up. It’s ten years since they were online together. But where is the fifth person, the one who organized things? A beautifully-written short story with a powerful message. One of the best stories I’ve read this year. Superb!

    Chapter 1

    Wow, this is such a powerful piece. Wonderful writing. Thanks
  22. “Pin money”, now that’s brought memories of my Mancunian childhood. Wow 🤩
  23. Absolutely 👍 ps I too had never seen, or been aware of, the us version of kerb, except as a verb.
  24. We went to the mountains for 4 days. Amazingly, Lilibeth was totally obsessed with our friend who has terminal pancreatic cancer. She cried and cried every night to get into her bedroom and during the day was glued to her side. These dogs are incredible.
  25. As ever, the weekly comments of @Summerabbacat are a joy to behold!
