    Yeah, we had some foreshadowing but that was pretty awful. And yeah, whatever Martin and Natasha liked about each other to start with seems to be pretty over with.
  2. Mattyboy
    Well, yes, but this struck me as a case of meeting people where they are. The world's changed (and is changing) a lot, and not all at the same pace.
  3. Mattyboy
    guessing there's maybe quite a bit about this that Natasha don't know.

    To Whistle

    Mattyboy commented on Late to the party's story chapter in To Whistle

    Amazing weave of a very fun "slice-of-life" chapter with bittersweet elements of Alex's past and personality. Parker having a recorded song out is new, right?

    Yay, we're back

    The orphic fragments were a very nice ornament to this. Will we be getting more of the series here?
  7. Mattyboy
    Oh, the picture gallery is fun.

    So far this story seems to be what you'd get if the old "rattlesnake joke" crossed-over with a deleted scene from A Midsummer Night's Dream. So probably, yes. I liked the teaser that maybe Eros will show up as a tiebreaker. We haven't had a solid brat-god sighting around here since @Demiurge went on hiatus, and it's about time.

    "just swallow. Don't think about it." . . . "shocked by how close he had just come to blowing his load" These guys need to check in with their representation: Do they just need to do it, or does the forest need to see it? Is edging the right play in this moment? Lord, what fools these mortals be!

    It can be tough to get off with just the tip, but he is a god, after all.
  11. Mattyboy
    It was just the tip of the antlers! I'm confident Pan can do something about getting them off, since it was just the tip.

    You Complete Me

    Mattyboy commented on Salander's story in Fiction

    Thank you, Fry, for continuing to wave this flag.

    This incident was recently described in The Globe and Mail as Hudson Williams trying to "climb him like a koala in a eucalyptus tree" which I thought was a nice turn of phrase.

    Entry 29

    Mattyboy commented on MrM's story chapter in Entry 29

    That one goes right down to the deep foundations of how Comicality structured the Billyverse stories. There are a few pieces on GA in which Comsie explained his projects. He liked limited narration and the tightly-coiled springs of indecision, and one of his biggest things was maintaining tension. From Chandler's story we have evidence that Brandon's Dad would likely be accepting. But Brandon hasn't put the puzzle pieces together (and he doesn't even know about some of those pieces) so he's trapped with his many moods and his teen-closet-angst.

    "Shadowplay"

    Mattyboy commented on Nuno R.F.C.R's story chapter in "Shadowplay"

    And she's had absolutely her full attention on puzzling out exactly what's going on all week. Elias might have done a bit more to try to persuade Rowan to cooperate, but there wasn't a future where some version of this didn't happen.
  16. Mattyboy
    This can't last but that turned out . . . well? Sort of ? for now?
  17. Mattyboy
    Not quite as isolated a site as Alex seems to have hoped. Figuring it out as they go gets another test!
  18. Mattyboy
    Sean seems nice. I thought of Sean and Alice as wildcards, but didn't see "take the midnight train to Wales" as the next off the top of the deck.
  19. Mattyboy
    A comments-section squabble about whether something was foreshadowed or not in an earlier chapter can also spin up the views count in a hurry as people go back and forth. I'm usually one-and-done (I think) with most chapters, but that can spike way up in some circumstances.
  20. Mattyboy
    Yeah, could well be a trainwreck. But lots of open futures here. For instance, if Matty is done with Alex and tells him to get lost. This would be plenty of tears for Alex, (and maybe a few readers), but then he could go home and not start in on the very bad "let's try being together in the north of England with no resources" plan.

    "Landfall"

    Mattyboy commented on Nuno R.F.C.R's story chapter in "Landfall"

    This chapter has an interesting balance. Elias spending most of a week on introspection and working through his thoughts, and Rowan on stage for three minutes and 15 words, and those two paths have kinda wound up at the same destination. (Which is certainly a novelty for these guys, being at the same place).
  22. Mattyboy
    Maybe? Sean's a wildcard. Alice is a wildcard. Matty is a wildcard. Strong yes on the "Alex isn't thinking clearly" but the rest seems pretty up in the air.
  23. Mattyboy
    This is fairly saintly (elder gay variety) of Jonathan. And fun about Sean. Seems rather less doomed to end in tears than it did at this plans conception.
  24. Mattyboy
    Both of these seem likely true (ooh, there's new chapter up, I guess we're about to find out!)
  25. Mattyboy
    "Time May Change Me" indeed. There's been a lot of development in these characters. Matty's parents may also have been told some stories about local adult Jake's apartment for which Alex has a key and in which Matty gets tickled in his underwear. That seemed to be a charming moment of freedom and authenticity when it happened, but I can see a parent of a 14-year old raising the red flag over that.
