Aye! These are handy when you're 16, and when the pharmacy next door is held by people you meet in church, and who think you're such a serious guy, and that you babysit their kids.
I've never shaken hands with a Hollywood star.
Once again, the figure lovers have overlooked quality: humor, tons of story reviews, frankness... Aren't these things more important than a string of zeros?
So, congratulations for all your fine and thoughtful posting, Conner.
Actually, Matt could be a cocaine-addicted stockbroker, who laughs wholeheartedly when the price for the evil-chemical-multinational-that-spreads-leukemia-to-third-world country-children share go up because it laid off half its workforce. Then meets his boyfriend (and a few paid sex workers) for a $5,000 evening in Los Angeles most infamous night places.
Having to surf for porn got you into some mighty dark areas.
I was not thinking of James West and Artemus Gordon (James West having lots of interest in being shirtless and tied up by the villains ), but more along the lines of Deadwood, or Clint Eastwood in Sergio Leone's movies.
No, CJames, no! If LIS goes on for ten more chapters, we'll have Matt falling into drugs, Valerie get into a convent, and Jacob decide to major in business so he can become a stockbroker. You don't want to leave them poor characters in Shadowgod's claws for too long.
I'm glad I wasn't the only one to notice this. This latest story is really a step forward. The Joe/ Matthew/ Jamie dynamics are really well-handled, and the general atmosphere is quite good. Looking forward to reading the rest.
One leaves for just a few days, and CJ's fans have converted to the Dark Side. Which is not surprising, by the way.
Chapter 36 features another evil cliff-hanger. Obviously after such a feat, the Piedmont police is certain of getting it for good: either being arrested by state/ federal authorities, or being dealt with wild west-style by our shirtless blonds turned into gunslingers. Either way, die, Piedmont Sheriff, die!
This is excellent. But we here are guilty of using some of them phrases! Everybody go have a look and become aware of phrases that should be used with caution!
Yes, chapter 12 & 13 are a little intense. The rapes are indeed disturbing, but well, in a story in which people are cut in half by swinging chainsaws or made to collide with trucks, it's almost benign. There are lots of twists so far in who's related to whom. That's the "soap-opera" side of the sory. I'm not using the term in a derogatory way, but more to underline the serials atmosphere of the plot.
I agree with Conner about dialogs. As I got to read the first two chapters of the next story, I'll say it's getting even better.
