Chapter 16 Roped and Tied
Mawgrim commented on Headstall's story chapter in Chapter 16 Roped and Tied
What a perfect last chapter. Full of feeling and with hope and plans for Mitch and Will's life together. I have really looked forward to Monday evening and reading another chapter of this story, but all good things must come to an end.- 98 comments

I've lived in the same village for twenty-one years now and can assure you nothing of that sort goes on here. However, there are some places that give you the shivers and where no one considers you a local unless at least three generations of your family come from the place! Nothing like the quiet of the countryside to spook you, especially when animals out there in the darkness make weird noises in the middle of the night. For their size, hedgehogs can be very loud. I remember reading a story by Stephen King called 'Children of the Corn' which had a rural aspect, albeit in the USA rather than England. That one is really frightening.

He'll probably sell it. Don't suppose either of them want to set foot in that village again!

Thank you. It obviously worked as planned! There's nothing like a spooky story at this dark time of the year. Glad you enjoyed it. Although this was a dark tale, I wanted a (sort of) happy ending. You could say Rupert got his just desserts. Thank you. I had the idea for this after visiting a friend in a remote part of the country, where the locals definitely had some odd customs. Had Grant stayed, Rupert might have got out of his commitment, being a long term local. However, when Grant escaped, I can see how it would have rapidly turned nasty for Rupert.

Yay! A convert. Just think, if you'd skipped it I'd never have had the volcano idea!

So glad Eric finally picked up the courage to leave a message. I was afraid Rob would call back when he was out of the house, but at last they've had the opportunity to talk.

I would only change to Windows 11 if my current OS no longer ran software I needed or was no longer supported. Every upgrade of Windows 10 so far has caused some issues on some machines. I’d like to see Windows 11 running in the real world for at least six to nine months before recommending it, although I’m going to have to learn about it anyway to fix all the problems when people call me for help!

Book Review: Logical Family: A Memoir by Armistead Maupin
Mawgrim commented on Drew Payne's blog entry in Words, Words and Words
This is definitely one to add to my book collection. I’ve always enjoyed the 'Tales of the City' series. I’m putting this one on my Christmas book list.- 2 comments

The encroaching floods.

Thank you. I’ve really become immersed in this world, although at some point I'd like to take a break to write some original fiction as well.
-
So that's what is really happening behind the scenes! 😁 Really enjoyed reading this unusual story. The initial premise reminded me slightly of a science fiction story I read years ago, called 'Typewriter in the Sky'. The protagonist was trapped inside a story and had to find a way out. This went along different lines. At the end, the beta tester was resigned to his existence as part of the code.

A moving story. Animals become such a part of our lives.

I was thinking of the song lyrics: [Chorus: Brad and Janet (Background Singers)] There's a light (Over at the Frankenstein place)

I contemplated that sort of ending but preferred it with a twist.

Nat lost touch with former friend and lover Grant after they finished university. He knows from Facebook that Grant inherited a farm in the country and married the 'Lord of the Manor'. So why has he received an invitation to a mysterious local event in aid of the recent flooding? Could there be trouble in paradise?
-
Nat knew he was going to be late, although it wasn’t his fault. Ever since leaving London, continuous rain had made the roads treacherous. The clocks had gone back a week ago, meaning it was now dark by six in the evening. It was almost as if all the other drivers had forgotten what it was like over the summer months to drive in darkness and rain. He’d been held up by two accidents and three sets of roadworks so far. It had nearly been enough to make him turn around and return to his comfortable

Yes, that suits some folk, but D'gar needs the emotional connection of a relationship. There are a few shorter stories to bridge the gap between the end of 'Threadfall' and the start of D'gar's adventures as Weyrlingmaster at Benden.
-
It's a line from the 'Question Song' which gives Lessa the clue as to what might have happened to the other five Weyrs: Gone away, gone ahead, Echoes roll unanswered, Empty, open, dusty, dead, Why have all the Weyrfolk fled?
-
D’gar sat on the edge of his bed, thinking over the evening’s revelations. It was almost too much to take in. After T’ron’s introduction, Lessa had told the story of the Long Interval that would follow the recently ended Pass. Of the Weyr’s fall into disfavour and the reluctance of Holders to believe, after so long, that Thread would return to menace Pern once more. She told them how, in her time, only Benden Weyr was inhabited and that it had been so since the end of the previous Pass, when all

What a Christmas cliffhanger! For sure, there is going to be a confrontation and it's not going to be pretty. The homophobic comment when they were out for a walk may have brought Jason and Nathan back down slightly from their newly found love, but this is going to be so much worse.
-
Powerful story.
-
It's was different to your other Ravello stories, but worked well. I love the description of the places as well as the characters and situations. Hopefully there will be more to come in the series.

Dani is putting himself in too much danger. I’m worried for him.

A lovely chapter. It's so good to see Mitch and Will happy and that all four men are comfortable enough with each other’s company they don't need to hide how they feel.
