Thanks for writing this. I've been one who has spoken a few times about the lack of complete stories, at least the ones that are in a series. But your comments hit home with me. I have zero right to expect anything. Yeah I'd love nothing more than to see this story and Billy Chase come to conclusion as well as a few others. The thing is we have expectations when we start to read a story mostly that there is a conclusion. But we have no right to demand or expect Comsie to do anything other than at the pace he so chooses. And that is something we either live with or we walk away. There is no way I can walk away! So Comsie I apologize for the past comments about the open stories. And wow, to think you've been writing on this since 2001, that is just...WOW.

I HATE this chapter but I LOVE this chapter. I swear if I ever find someone abusing their kid, there will just be no place to hide. Oh Brody, please Brody I'm begging, break through the walls. Please keep loving Zach, he needs love and compassion so much and you are the one we are trusting to bring Zach to understand this is not his fault and that he is worthy of love, your love especially.

So Comsie, a few chapters ago, you said only a few chapters left....but as of now there are 24 chapters posted and the story is not marked complete. So is this nightmare almost over, does Zach get anywhere close to a happy ending. I don't know your style because frankly I've only read one completed series of yours, all the rest have been going on for a damned eternity.

How can I love a story so much that truly disgusts me and I hate the very idea of a child being abused.

Ok Comsie, what gives....Aiden is a beautiful name. Why does Zach hate it. Wait is that his dad's name, if so, then of course he would hate. I would want to legally change it too. I hope Brody gives Zach strength and a safe space. I hope some how he can build himself up physically too, he just cannot continue to take this monsters abuse. It still strikes me so odd that his mother is loving and playful and the father is this absolute monster. That doesn't mesh in my mind, no way I can see the mom falling for this guy, how does he hide his true nature from her, unless she doesn't want to see what is right in front of her. I know it is none of our business but I would really love to know how you escaped this yourself, short of killing your own abuser, how does anyone escape or is it just completely a factor of time and waiting to turn 18?

Here I am wanting a child to raise, to honor, worship even, provide for, bet even more, just to be a good role model for a child. And yet I'm the outcast who society automatically deems unfit. Talk about life being unfair in a different way. Zach would never know pain in my home, only love and more love.

I've read this on Nifty several times but never all the way through. Each time I go a little bit further. Pick up on something I missed previously. Each time praying the nightmare of Zack's life will end. Praying his friends clue in. Praying his mother wakes the hell up. But it never happens. I honestly don't know why I torture myself, the outcome never changes. Once I discovered all the stories were on GA, that become my primary source for reading now. I enjoy reading others comments and occasionally making one of my own.

Comsie, I can't believe you had to endure anything like this. I hope it wasn't as bad as you write about, but something tells me this is coming from experience. I just don't know how to even respond to this kind of abuse. An apology seems so inadequate. Where were the people who are supposed to be protecting Zach, how can his mother be so fucking blind and clueless. Why is his father such a monster. Where were the people that were supposed to be protecting you? I know life isn't fair and some people get more shit than others, but this is beyond comprehension.

I dont understand why i keep reading this story, maybe hoping the Comsie will actually finish a story and this nightmare will be over. It’s been a while and I know i haven’t read through the latest few chapters so it will be a surprise coming up. This story rips at my heart and just want to grasp Zach, hug him and take away his pain. I wish he would grab a knife and stab his father in his sleep. No court would convict him, absolutely not.

I volunteer to murder that dad. What a piece of filthy fucking shit!

Every time I read this chapter I think I shed more tears than the time before. I think about the emotional fear I had as a kid because I was different, different in a time when that could land you in a big pile of shit. But I read this and I realize i had a great childhood by comparison. Poor Zack, my heart breaks every time for him. I wish kids could be braver in these situations and tell an adult that they do trust, like his neighbor that was out tending garden. Anyone who could come to your rescue. And another reader question how the mom didn’t know. I think I question that as well. How many times does Zach wince at being hugged by his mom and her not notice. Just frightening that this behavior is real, kids really do live this horror and feel trapped.

Love this chapter, very well done. I feel so much for Justin. I can’t blame him for not wanting to give up Taryn. I always want the happy ending, so i continue to hope that Justin does find away to hold his new life together. I get hoping somehow that he continue somehow reunite Taryn and Alec rather than allowing Alec to destroy them. Alec went through something awful both from losing Taryn and the abuse he took as a result of Taryn’s absence. Hopefully Alec can once again love they big brother he once adored. I know i’m not living in reality, but neither is this story so anything is possible.

so how many years do I have to wait for the next chapter....you can be so cruel sometimes. I love this story already, totally invested and dumbly knowing I may die before you get around to finishing this. Seriously, what an awesome twist at the end and a great cliffhanger. I hope you don't make us sweat too many chapters to understand what has gone on.

OMG what a cute story of teenage love, first love. And hot steamy sex. And i can finally say that i have read a “completed” multi-chapter story.

I don’t even mind admitting that put me and Jamie in the same condition HaHa! Yes mom’s are the worst for moments like this. I was such a geek at that age but i was also curious and pushed a few boundaries. I did push once though that ended up costing me a friendship luckily with no rumors. H.S. gossip is the absolute worst. 40 years ago and I can still remember some of the awful things people said about their “friends”

Straight boys are such heart break to teen gay boys. I can’t even imagine what it is like now with so much more acceptance and kids being open in school. Just not something i can relate to. I can relate though to silently discussing the finer merits of my classmates with a very good buddy back in those days. But nothing could ever happen beyond dreaming. My best friend told me a few years back that he knew or at least suspected that i was gay back in H.S. He even had a few innocent experiences and it does make me wonder if i could have at least had 1 roll in the hay. But his friendship means way to much to me all these years later. But it does give a bit of credence to Silas commments about being surprised by how many straight guys might just mess around at that age.

Funny how some sentiments are still the same. I recently made a similar post and its almost 3 years later. I guess the good news is that we have just over 100 more chapters of Billy Chase but god knows how many more to come. You have to wonder sometimes where would we be with Billy Chase or take your pick of any of your other favorites if so much time wasn’t spread so thin across so many different story arcs. It almost makes me wonder if any of them will ever see completion. For some of us, we need that completion, for some of us we are on the down side of life’s years. I’ve been with Nifty since it started back in the 90’s, wow what a find that was back then. That’s over 25 years ago, something tells me I’ll be extremely lucky to see 20 more and that is assuming i live to be an average age. I hope in 3 years time someone else isn’t referring back to your post or mine and asking the same questions.

I only read this because it feed the need for something/anything “Billy Chase”, while this was good, i almost wished i hadn’t read it. I don’t want him to be a fucking vampire no matter how much i love Justin & Taryn. But I do find some of the other comments curious...who turned him and why, he appears to be alone as a vampire...how did Brandon react...what else happened with Stevie that made Billy want to murder him. At the point in the Billy Chase series now, Stevie has actually been someone who helped Billy regain his relationship with Brandon (even if Billy doesn’t like Brandon spending Mondays with Stevie)...I love that Sam is protecting him, but how is that Sam seems to know what happened with Billy but none of the other friends seem to know....and for the love of God, if anyone had to be turned to this miserable life of forever loneliness, why couldn’t it have been AJ?! I don’t advocate this life for either, but I’d rather it be AJ that lose everything he had in life than Billy. This story actually makes me a bit mad/sad or something....if we ever do get chapter 450 out (clearly it won’t be the last, no way to wrap this story in 1 chapter), does knowing about vampire Billy taint reading regular Bill for anyone or is it just me that feels this very strange loss right now. It’s like a feeling I won’t see chapter 450 because Billy Chase no longer exist as we knew him.

I must admit that as i was reading through these chapters i kept wondering why there were only 1 or 2 comments, not that I added many myself. But I also noticed that most chapters had usually less than 10 reactions. I was actually trying to figure out if I liked the chapter, loved it, so-so, or just sometimes down right aggregated by the damn thing. How hard is it to hit a stupid button and move on to the next chapter. It’s a simple action on my part but I assume it means far more to the author to see those reactions. If you are going through the effort that it takes to write these stories, seriously the least we can do as readers is show some type of appreciation, reaction, whatever by hitting a button. I had no idea about your PC issues, that has just got to be devastating as well as just sucking green donkey dicks. I’m thrilled to see that Ch 450 might be happening soon. I also noticed on the “Shack” site that there was a Book 10 under Billy Chase, however the link appears to be broken. I got so excited when I saw that. I’m sure you are aware about the link but I just thought I would point it out anyway. I really must commend you on writing Billy Chase. This story is a major undertaking to say the least, more like just short of miraculous that you have written so much and kept your audience captive. I find this story so endearing. At so many points reading through this I have kept thinking to myself how lucky these kids are to live in the society they do. The reaction poor Stevie puts up with would have been seen as giving “those kind” what they deserve when I was this age. Stevie has people helping to watch out for him against his aggressors, for me it would have been the opposite whereby these thugs would have had plenty of like-minded classmates watching out so that no one got caught. I am just happy that things have improved to such a point that kids now are out and proud at school. With the exception of a few, Stevie’s classmates are just awesome, although it does make me jealous. I really have enjoyed the story up to this point, this is a sweet caring young man trying to navigate his way through life as he sees at his age. I look forward to more for sure, who knows, maybe Billy and Brandon will get a once-in-a-lifetime 3-way with the one, the only Jamie Cross. Billy never thought he would have Sam, so anything can happen (though the results with Sam show exactly why you are playing with fire). Comsie please accept my apology if I in any way came across as sounding unappreciative for the work you do, that was never my intent. Thanks.

So I tried many times to read Billy Chase and for some reason just couldn’t get into the story. I think this reading was my 4th or 5th attempt, but for whatever reason, this time it stuck. I also started reading knowing it was unfinished. What I didn’t expect was to totally get head over heels into this story to the point I literally put aside everything else I’ve been reading. So in about 8 days I have read all 449 chapters of Billy Chase. Now of course I want more. I’ll be honest, what i don’t get is how many stories there are that aren’t finished. This story has initial chapters dating back to 2010 and its been almost 2 years now since the last chapter was posted. Sadly, the next chapter would be the end of this particular segment and also the big summer party at Jamie Cross’ home. So how much longer do we have to wait. I’ve almost made it a rule not to read any of the other stories because I hate investing so much time to read something that is hanging unfinished. I honestly didn’t think i would plow through Billy Chase like i did and I’m certainly glad I did but now I find myself frustrated at the lack of a finish. It seems like all these stories are in the same situation. I got into the GFD series too and until reading this story that was the only series i dared to allow myself to read. I just have issues with investing so much of my time and not having a conclusion. Anyway I’m ranting and going in circles. I love Billy Chase and I pray that there will be Ch 50 very soon. Thanks for the work that you do. I’m excited and anxiously awaiting Ch 50. I can’t wait to see how this section ends. Does Sam and Joey talk, does anything else happen between them or does Sam get closure. What the hell is Jimmy LaPlane going to do, I can just see him showing up and making a huge scene at this party and making accusations against Billy in front of the crowd. Will Bobby show up and finally pull his head out his ass and show Ian the love he deserves. And what of Billy and Brandon? Will they truly go through with plans to be an open couple at the party. How will Jamie react (does he know), how will Ian react (will he be offended Billy didn’t trust him and their friendship), will there be others at the party that will not be quite so accepting. Greg & Ollie, does Billy keep to himself what he knows about Greg. And finally, does Billy reveal the last secret he is holding onto about his slut days with AJ, Robin, and others. So many outstanding issues that could lead to one of the most action-packed ending chapters of this entire series. How much of this will be left unanswered and left for us to discover in part 10.

Oh Billy, how far are you going to sink, how much are you willing to lose of yourself? Are you going to hurt Lee, Brandon, Trace, Jimmy, Bobby, Ian...and be left with who...well that’s easy, no one.

What the hell happened to our sweet Billy. He has literally become someone i don’t recognize. I think that he is going to get hurt or hurt others with this new attitude of his. I hope he hasn’t caused permanent damage between himself and Sam. He keeps talking over and over about how important Sam’s friendship it so him...you just don’t have sex with your straight best friend and it not change things between you, usually not a good change either.

When are we going to catch up with and talk to his sick friend he brought over? I forgot the name, but shouldn’t he be awake by now?

Hey Jonathan, I hope 2021 is off to a good start for you. I noticed the status on The English Year has changed to “Temporary on Hold”. Has something happened? Do you have an idea when you might resume? Take care, John.
