The Sharp Edge of Elegance
GanymedeRex commented on Jeff Burton's story chapter in The Sharp Edge of Elegance
I continue to be delighted and amused (this chapter) with this story. The writing is on par with Mark Arbour. I cannot wait until the next installment . . . . -
So far this has been one of the best stories I've read here. Very exciting. Also, I really like Adam. It's nice to see a warm, youthful, comforting character who doesn't have to be a romantic interest.
-
Well written and the medical content is very well researched. As a physician, I see a lot of crazy stuff in these stories but this one is well done.
-
The story was very well written and had great characterization. I did finish it and it didn't sit well with me because humans are toolmakers and the existence on this planet is a situation placing people disconnected from their potential. That's okay - not everyone has to love the story. You've written others I have enjoyed as well.

These colonists have descended into repulsive barbarity.
-
This story is moving at a good pace. In this chapter, the detailed retelling of the childhood was not necessary and probably could have been abbreviated. That's a nitpick though as this story is quite good.

New School & New Friends
GanymedeRex commented on quokka's story chapter in New School & New Friends
Quokka is a great world builder. That's for sure. -
Grayson Middle and a New Challenge
GanymedeRex commented on JamesSavik's story chapter in Grayson Middle and a New Challenge
The part about the Trilateral Commission really cracked me up. There are totally people like that out there. -
Clearly, I joined the wrong YMCA.

I wish I had friends like this in 9th grade! (I guess I did, but they didn't have that much independence). This is a second or third read, though I don't recall getting through this all the way before. It's such fun.
-
This was such a great start to a great story. I hope James picks this back up one day. It's good that he holds stories that aren't working out - this one looks like a good candidate to go somewhere interesting.
-
This is an outstanding work of military science fiction. It has a lot to offer on many levels and would stand up on its own as a published popular novel. There are some very interesting concepts in this story related to AI and genetic modification - both things which will play a role in our future.
-
It's nice to think about the lifetime impact of memories - both the bad and the good.
-
This is a really great START to a story. I just don't see it as complete as is. I don't find the attitudes to be surprising given the time period either, so you've written a great character. Where does he go from here? I'm kind of getting tired of the overused trope about the churches assigning queer kids to damnation. Sure that happened, but not all the time or even most of the time. How about having the kids meet a pastor or a youth group that helps him out? Just a few thoughts . . .
-
It's nice to have an illustrative image. Funny how those AI images get minor things wrong, unless the character in this story has 6 fingers. I'll read it and find out . . .

Ok. That was unexpected, and hot too! Nice affection towards Winkler.

GanymedeRex commented on Myr's blog entry in Gay Authors News
That's terrible news! He was one of my favorites. His writing was so youthful, I didn't know he was old.- 169 comments

A new story in the series. How wonderful. I've been checking regularly for this. I guess I did not realize the last story had concluded . . . Certainly, there is a lot here to unpack on what is being set into motion . . .

I've really enjoyed this story and am grateful for the update. Will it wrap up soon or go onto the source of the alien menace?

The Aftermath, and In School
GanymedeRex commented on Lee Wilson's story chapter in The Aftermath, and In School
It wasn't a criticism, but a compliment. No apologies needed. Keep up the great story. -
The Aftermath, and In School
GanymedeRex commented on Lee Wilson's story chapter in The Aftermath, and In School
Nice pacing to the story. I loved "Saturday: I passed!!" Enjoy the characters very much and the fact that except for the image on the story page, it wasn't evident the protagonist is black until the last chapter. -
Chapter 1 - The Ulaa-Lah
GanymedeRex commented on Adam Andrews Johnson's story chapter in Chapter 1 - The Ulaa-Lah
Nice setup and atmosphere on this one! -
Boyfriends for Christmas
GanymedeRex commented on JamesSavik's story chapter in Boyfriends for Christmas
I'm liking some of the elements - the 4 kids that are introduced. They Rowdy character is a really decent one - you can imagine a ton of things about him without the story needing more description. The LJ kid isn't really described very well. I really would have liked more details about him, some build up of a connection and description of the naughty deeds. I personally don't like stories with drugs, especially with kids, but maybe others will enjoy it. -
So enjoyable - and a chapter with the finest ending!

Besides great world building, I'm very impressed with the automated food dispensers. When i was five, I loved this Japanese movie (Destroy all planets) where a little boy is abducted by a robotic turtle spaceship. There is a wall console and the kid asked for and received sandwiches. At the time I thought that was so cool. So the dining automat in this story (as well as the bathroom descriptions) were a very fun element to add into a fantasy mage story. What an experience!
