“Come on, Rick. I know I can trust you to tell me the truth. Who are they trying to set me up with?” Angus had been getting increasingly anxious all afternoon. School had just finished and he was still trying to find out what Brandon, Peter and Drew were planning. Drew was just in it for the fun, but the other two had a measure of revenge they wanted to inflict on Angus, and he knew it. I couldn’t tell him that neither guy had any real anger towards him – they just wanted him to suffer a little

Great news, James!
-
Getting James accepted back into the group would take a minor miracle. Something on the equivalent of turning a straight guy gay, or similar...
-
Thank you! I don't think I'll write another story using links, but it was an interesting and, I think, a moderately successful experiment

Yes, the stag night should be a lot of fun

Continuing the international flavour, here's one from New Zealand New Zealand doctor James Grant fights off shark, stitches wounds, and then heads to the pub

Okay, the Australian posts a story from America and the American posts a story from Australia.... I can live with that Good news stories are international

I'm not sure if this is going be a flop, but I'm going to try anyway What I'd like this to be is a thread on Good News stories. I was surfing the Internet the other day and stumbled across the CBS Good News Page. I'd like to see if we can do the same, with a thread on just good news stories. As they state on their page, this will be for: Stories that show the best of human nature; people helping people, triumphs of the human spirit. I'll start with my favourite from the CBS Good News Page: Michigan Middle School Football Team Conspires for Touching Touchdown Feel free to add your own!

Dan, Greg, Paul and Chris really need to learn to communicate better. But coming out is something that can be fearful, especially when you really don't want the other person to have a bad reaction.

In hindsight and from a dispassionate viewpoint, it's not hard to think of a better way of handling things. But we're all human and we rarely spot the best approach to take at the time.

I watched Mum drive out of the school car park, and then I turned to Drew. “Do you really think there might be problems?” Drew shrugged. “Not really, but it gave me an excuse to come to your place early. I’m still disappointed that you wouldn’t let me help you get dressed.” I rolled my eyes. “The idea was to get ready for school. You wouldn’t have helped.” “But we’d have had a lot of fun being late.” Drew’s grin slipped away. “Seriously, I don’t expect Peter to do anything, but I want to be w

Towies can be nice people. My brother-in-law was a towie when I was learning to ski, which is where a lot of the content of the story came from

Thank you! What some people have done is to read the story, and then go back and check the links. My intention was to have a story that would standalone, but use the links to enrich it with additional details. There are undercurrents going on that Greg isn't aware of and the links give those details. As for snow, Australia's ski resorts are at a lower altitude than a lot of others, and that means the snow tends to be wetter. Personally, I've never skied powder snow so I don't know what it's like, but I've told by my brother-in-law (who used to be a towie) that it's absolutely fantastic. I'll take his word for it

LOL! For technical reasons, we had to bypass the recent update feature, because the links needed to be posted at the same time as the story chapter, and that would've swamped the recent update list. To make things easier, we posted the entire story at once. The story was here previously, but as a link to an external site. All I've done is bring it into GA Stories to integrate it with the rest of the system. Originally, each link was a separate HTML page so you couldn't navigate from one to another. The best option I could come up with for uploading into GA stories was to post the links as 'chapters' of a separate story. This does mean that you can get lost in the land of links, as you discovered, but I didn't see any way around that.
