  3. Two thirds of the way to 666....
  4. Another great chapter, Jason. I'm glad that Greg can now say Richard's name out loud. A sure sign that he is getting there. And his realisation that he is holding Nathan back, and must be prepared to eventually let him go, is likely to be a vital part of his recovery as well. @IBEX Personally, I don't really think Greg and Kyle will end up together. I just don't think it would be in Greg's nature. I can see him becoming an important person in Kyle's life, however, but more as a mentor than a lover. Perhaps Keigan and Greg? And, even if that doesn't work out, I still see it as a step in the right direction, if only because Greg has now, for the first time in his life, come to realise that he is capable of making the first move.
  5. Why thank you very much, kind sir! But remember...
  6. Laughter is good for the soul, Albert! I'm so delighted to have made at least one person laugh today.
  7. I know from personal experience what you mean about just having to accept errors and typos when you self edit your work. And one of the things I find myself doing is over editing some of my own work. Maybe it's me just being too critical with my own writings, but I sometimes look back after an edit and realise I've actually destroyed the feelings, or the flow, that I had put into a piece when I wrote it first. For that reason I always save edits with a new name. Now, I'm not for a moment suggesting that it seems like you have done the same. This story captivated me from the first chapter, and the dialogue, internal musings, character developments, and "interludes", have all been brilliant. I feel invested in all three of the of the main characters' lives. (Three up to now, at least - I'm not sure if Keigan may also have a story to tell.) I've read all the chapters up to this point in a single sitting - that should show just how much this story has caught my imagination. The grim underpinnings, as you describe them, are part of what makes the story. I know they must have been difficult for you to write, but the story would not have been the same without them. I also like the way you don't reveal too much at once, and appreciate how difficult it probably was for you, as a writer, not to do so. There's lots many soppy romance stories out there. I'm not knocking them, but real life isn't always like that. In few hours I have been reading these first eleven chapters, you have made me laugh out loud at times, and left my crying other times. I look forward to reading the remaining (5?) chapters, and your other stories. As for typos - I may have spotted one or two, but they are so rare that they've not bothered me in the least.
