I had the exact same thought @CincyKris, a huge overreaction by Dallas motivated by an insecurity that he may have a same-sex attraction. And what of Dallas. I have an image of him in my mind, one which is very attractive indeed, a muscled tanned hunk in a very impressively filled jockstrap. But because of his name, I have also had an image of him akin to Sue Ellen Ewing, portrayed by the stunningly attractive Linda Gray. Dallas in a 1980's frock with padded shoulders, pouting and prancing like a nervous cheetah or as so eloquently described by Felicia in The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen Of The Desert - a cock in a frock on a rock. "...... while all around us were acres of dry brown summer grasses waving back and forth in the gentle breeze". This observation by JJ rang small alarm bells for me @Mark Ponyboy Peters. I wonder if there is a bushfire imminent or if one of the students will carelessly throw away a cigarette or a joint into the scrub and a fire starts. Dallas and Hollywood to the rescue, both clad in Speedos. Delicious. The shrill voice of the aptly named Mrs Bird brought to mind an image of Miss Hathaway from The Beverly Hillbillies TV show. Tallish, thin and bird-like in appearance, "pecking" at the students, fussing and admonishing them for next to nothing. Another fine chapter from the pen of the pony, or given its location the biro of the brumby.

A sizzling summer sexcapade for three long-time close friends to complete their high school education. A light-hearted journey, with an occasional moment of quiet contemplation and idealogical challenge. The three friends are engaging characters and the pace of the story predominantly fast and furious, apart from the occasional balmy night. A most enjoyable read from @KKirk yet again.

I was greatly saddened by the parting scene between Rick and Randy too @Seraph28. Of the two, Randy seemed to be the more "devoted" to the idea of marriage to a woman and the fathering of children; Rick I could imagine choosing a different path if another alternative opportunity presented itself and the attraction was strong enough. I much admired Rick for his choice not to be the "third wheel" by sharing an apartment with Mike and Jim. It was very evident from the moment Jim and Mike had their first mansex experience with each other, that there was a strong emotional attachment in addition to the scorching sex. I wonder how Methodist Mamma Carpenter will cope with Mike not settling into a heterosexual marriage with a pretty and fertile young maiden. Terrific story @KKirk. The experience was akin to watching some of my favourite Falcon or Catalina porn movies from the 1980's/early 1990's, but with much better dialogue and "acting". No wooden "acting" from the likes of Jeff Stryker or Steve Hammond, but then we weren't really watching the movies for the thespian talents of its stars.

"Rogering" is a very English description @Cane23, which I have read and heard used to describe both anal and vaginal sex. The extended Philpott family continue to amuse and entertain we readers @Robert Hugill. The breakfast banter between the four men was very amusing, and to his credit Matt more than matched the other three. His preconceptions and observations were both inquisitive and interesting. And I loved Gray's reference to Matt as his "undefined", which surprisingly Matt took in his stride. I thought at first this might upset him, but if it did he hid it well. Vince's reaction to being discovered by Freddie in a compromising situation was very amusing. Vince, the big old hairy nelly bottom, his masculinity perhaps threatened by the fact that he obviously enjoys a good "rogering". And Freddie's reaction to his father's bottoming was in of itself also very amusing. Another string to your bow @Robert Hugill. This story has surprised me more than any of your others to date; the character depth and sheer delight this "awkward" family have brought to the table, I could not have imagined when it made its debut.

This chapter left all four boys well and truly fucked, jubilant with jizz, sated with semen, salivating in a stupor of sexual bliss. Methinks the boys and Brian should have this song playing as their soundtrack when four becomes five, ignoring the obvious gender references. From the master of musical masturbation, the purple prince of penetration:

Rick, Randy, Mike, Jim and their Daddy, Sassy Sawzall, with his mighty, magnificent, man-mauling mallet of Massachusetts.

Not that I can recall. The only films I can ever recall seeing even remotely alike were about werewolves, An American Werewolf In London (by choice at the cinema) and a little of Howling II: Your Sister Is A Werewolf (by accident on TV); and I have only ever read perhaps one or two stories about werewolves in the past. The only reasons I started to read this story are because @Laura S. Fox wrote it and I found it amusing that a fox was writing a story about a wolf. The supernatural genre holds very little interest for me as a general rule.

“I find that I am changing Gav. Slowing down.” Jason looked directly at Gavin. “At first, I was around because, well, I needed to be, to help you and Matthew. But more recently, I’ve realised that I enjoy it, having family and having a routine. So, I’ve no intention of messing that up. We’ll be low key and take things slow. Right?” A remarkably frank, mature and unapologetic statement from Jason which caught me completely unawares, one which demonstrated he is so much more than the stereotype he was presenting himself as at the outset of the story; a far more appealing and engaging person than I thought him capable of being. And what of Matthew's Irma? Another little surprise packet, although not nearly as stereotype "bursting" as her parents. Very religious but with a sensible attitude towards sex? To quote Victor Meldrew "I don't believe it", but seemingly it is true. And it appears @drsawzall that Tina did not share her brother's naturally hirsute body. Thank goodness for small mercies. This one is perhaps set on a different plane in the Hugillverse @Robert Hugill, although the aspirations of the characters are not so different from many of those in other Hugillicious tales.

Now I understand a little better @Seraph28 as I thought they were essentially the same. Given this, my mathematical calculation was incorrect @Laura S. Fox.

Miranda? Meredith? Similar names, similar fates? If this story is even half as good as Picnic At Hanging Rock it will be a masterpiece. Have you lined up The Nolan-Buddle Quartet to record the Theme From Beyond Salvation @Mark Ponyboy Peters?

"Melody and I had very little alone time, which is, of course, fine by me, but we did have a nice quarter-hour make-out session on the porch swing before I went home." And that wasted 15 minutes can never be recovered Rick. It could have been spent far more productively, even douching for the next round of man sex. I guess for now the charade continues. Mike's words of wisdom to Jim to quell his hyper-excitement, breathe. Only our Kylie could have said it any better with one of my favourite Kylie singles, the criminally underrated, Breathe.

Cat litter trays can be a "challenge" but nothing compares to human baby shit for a sickening odour, although for me the smell of bacon and eggs cooking comes pretty close 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮. I found Lorenzo's farewell to his home and parents the saddest of all as he seemed to have little concept of what it was he was experiencing. Perhaps his apparent naïveté was in some respects a blessing though. Looking forward to the expansion of this story @Lee Wilson. Apart from the dreaded Marie Louise are you planning for any of the other characters to make guest appearances?

Roadkill maybe?

“Do your folks have phones?” Danny asked nervously. “It’s late, so we’re going to disturb their sleep. Maybe if you call someone--” OMG @Laura S. Fox, I laughed until I was almost sick. Danny's politeness and consideration, combined with a charming naïveté, made this remark from him the funniest spoken thought in this story to date. I still think however, Danny holds the key to resolving the conflict. His gentle nature may belie a ferocity that he himself is unaware he possesses as he may never have witnessed it before. It may be the power of his love for Ryder, the resolve required to protect his mate, which will reveal Danny's inner strength; the stainless steel toaster lightweight compared to his superpower.

This is my first "exposure" to wolfshifter literature and I assumed, incorrectly it would seem, they must have had some human blood or become wolfshifters like humans becoming vampires.

I wish the brumbies could kick more than Victorian politicians' arses @Mark Ponyboy Peters. I realise they are not native to Mt Kosciusko National Park, but we don't apply the same laws to humans who are not native to any one place or another, and brumbies are no doubt causing far less environmental damage than humans. The thought processes are no doubt stimulated by the plot and the story, and that is entirely your doing. Clearly you are heading for ANOTHER top 10 placing with this one. You're almost like Black Caviar or Winx, only a much smaller version, especially smaller than Nellie.

No I did mean 25% wolf and 75% human as I assumed Theodore is 50% wolf and 50% human, and Jack and Vincent 100% human. This will of course be completely incorrect if my knowledge of wolfshifters is misconceived.

"You probably don’t realise it, but I’ve always regretted what happened between us, and I’ve always tried to make sure you didn’t cop too much crap from anyone." It appears @Paladin's speculation after the previous chapter was spot on; Dallas has been protecting JJ from afar. The regret he expressed for the demise of their friendship appeared genuine as he held himself largely responsible for what occurred. They must have both been about 11 or 12 years of age at the time, an age when possibly either one or both were starting puberty. "I’ve told them to lay off you. I told them to give you a break or they would answer to me,’ he finally said." It appears Dallas is intent on continuing to protect JJ from harm, albeit more proactively now. This is not the behaviour of someone who has an issue with JJ's sexuality. Dallas also appears to have a keen sense of gaydar as he picked up quickly that Hollywood Harris is gay too. Methinks there is much merit in @weinerdog's speculation "Since they were once friends I'm thinking things will gradually go back to that direction." Perhaps even more than friendship if Dallas is so inclined and realises the courage to overcome the gay "stigma" for a sports star. I also think it is inevitable something will happen whilst the students are visiting Salvation, something which will definitely involve JJ and perhaps Dallas and/or Pete. I wait with bated breath @Mark Ponyboy Peters. Given your passion for the equine species perhaps some brumbies will emerge from the National Park and kick some serious arse, preferably that of Timmy Baker and his goons, Yobbo and Drongo. This should be reason enough for the Victorian State government to fuck off and stop slaughtering them in such a heinous and cruel manner.

Your comment in bold is something which would never have occurred to me @Paladin, and I did find Dallas' use of the word "here" in his message somewhat puzzling. You well may have solved the riddle. I will be very surprised if JJ gets support from any staff other than Hollywood, and support from students will likely be very limited too.

I am wondering if Jack's meltdown was caused by jealousy, jealousy of the apparent growing friendship between Nicholas and Noah. I suspect that despite a statement to the contrary, Jack craves a close friendship with someone, and he believed that someone might be Nicholas. Then again, I might be talking complete bullshit, Jack may have been the victim of some serious abuse in the past, which rears its ugly head from time to time. Whatever the cause of his meltdown, I think Mr G is aware of it and is determined to support Jack to the best of his ability. It appears Jack is no danger to himself or anyone else otherwise I believe he would have been removed from his room to protect himself and/or Nicholas. Absolutely riveting chapter @LittleBuddhaTW. Jack's meltdown was profoundly disturbing, moving and realistic.

It is completely baseless and irrational, but I don't like Noah. Maybe it is the connotation of his name, but I sense he is "collecting" Nicholas as a friend, someone to be observed, an oddity in the species homosapien. Jack, the underdog it appears, someone with more in common with Nicholas, an appreciation for Catcher In The Rye and dogs. This is very good @LittleBuddhaTW, very very good.

Jack is intriguing. False bravado, a genuine disdain for many of his own species or a combination of the two? An orphan or a rich brat with absent, distant or malignant parents? Whatever his background and circumstances he appears to have constructed a wall of cynicism to protect himself from what we may ask? From other students, the world at large or himself? I sense he is going to struggle to maintain his facade with Nicholas and that the two may have much in common. Chapter 1 was no "flash in the pan" @LittleBuddhaTW; chapter 2 proved this story is one to follow with enjoyment aplenty and expectation of more, so much more.

Me too @SilentandBroken. Nicholas has already worked out who can be trusted and is worthy of his love, Mr Bojangles, and who cannot be trusted and will revel in making his life miserable, "Patricia Ann", the entitled "princess" who thinks he is superior because Daddy and Mummy have paid for him to attend this supposedly fine educational institution with other equally entitled, smug arseholes whom I am going to enjoy loathing. Nicholas has also worked out DEI is only window dressing at best if the likes of Krusty the Clown is in power. Seriously powerful corporate leaders, invariably thugs and bullies, smile and pay lip service to DEI when it is the "flavour of the month", but as soon as Herr Krusty and his lowest common denominator supporters rule the roost, it is no longer tolerated and those whom it is perceived to encourage and/or include and/or protect are targets for erasure. History has shown time and time again that such "humans" thrive on derision, division and excision, believing themselves to be enlightened and entitled. A tremendous start to this story @LittleBuddhaTW. After one chapter I am already "riled up" and "spitting chips". The story may prove to go in a completely different direction from that which I am imagining it will go, but at the moment I am imagining storylines almost as sickening and obscene as a $50million wedding in Venice. If this be the case, bring on Thelma and Louise, Norma Rae, Carrie and maybe Freddie Krueger to boot.

Dare I say falling for and into each other @chris191070.

"I sensed that Jim was about to pull out because Mike was obviously in pain. “Don’t pull back, Jim. He’ll be okay in a few seconds. Just stay perfectly still until he says he’s okay.” Reluctantly, Jim held the territory he had just conquered. Within about 10 seconds, Mike’s tight expression relaxed and he smiled up at Jim. “Give me some more,” he begged." I wonder if this is what Harry Wayne Casey aka KC was "really" singing about. Another scorching chapter @KKirk. Has there been any volcanic disturbances or earthquake "activity" reported in your vicinity of late? If so, I am not at all surprised.
