Read the whole story today after reading the post by ysd, and I have to say that I love it! I'm worried about Jimmy, though. Can't wait for the next installment!

I have both sent and received feedback, but I don't recall ever saying anything negative to an author. If I don't like the story, I won't finish it, and I certainly won't email the author to tell him why I don't like the story. I think that's just childish. I recently received an email from some guy who told me he doesn't like the main character of my story. He listed the reasons for not liking him, and the email was very long. At first I thought about changing the character to suit this one individual, but then I came to my senses. After all, its "my" story. I think that feedback is important, but most of it shouldn't be taken too much to heart. The positive feedback can be as damaging as the negative. If a person likes your story so much that he emails every day to give you more and more reasons for liking it, you tend to get bored. If that same person hates the story and emails every day to tell you again and again, then I'd just ingore his email address. That doesn't mean that I don't like feedback. I post my story on the net specifically for the feedback. I try very hard not to let flames bother me, and if I catch myself reading the email more than once, I mentally kick myself for it. Don't give the flames so much power over you. Its your story, and if they don't like it, they should stop reading it!

I really like the Christmas skins. Very festive!

LOL

Very glad to hear that it was a success. Welcome back!

Happy 18th Birthday! Hope you have a great day and many many more!

You're not old! Well, unless you think you are. Mind over matter, Ethan! :2hands:

Well, we don't smoke or drink, so we never get carded. We live in a college town, so they don't even bother us about going into the bars here.

Thanks, Raibow, and I'm glad to see you're back! Bruce, age is a number. You are as old or young as you believe yourself to be!

Welcome to Gay Authors, Brucer!

I want to thank everyone for the birthday wishes! I had a really great day. Jordan took me to dinner, and we spent a quiet night at home with the phones turned off.

Well, I finally got chapter 6 of storyville finished. I'm hoping to have chapter 7 done soon, but I'm taking my birthday off! Thanks to all of you who have wished me a happy one, I'm planning to! The chapter ends in a cliffhanger, and I know how much people (myself included) hate those, and I want to apologize in advance. Like I said, though, I'll try and have chapter 7 finished soon. :wacko:

Gay apperal? Well, I'd think it would be something either pink or rainbow colored and very tight. As for a lisp, I don't even know if I could fake one!

Best wishes, and you are both in my thoughts and prayers Mike.

I'll keep him in my thoughts and prayers. Hope his recovery is speedy.

Thanks guys! Jordan and I are both taking the day off from school and work to spend the it together, so I should have a great day! And thanks for the welcome, Mike!

I put a money order in the mail a few days ago, hope it reaches you, Myr.

My story is posted chapter by chapter, and I don't know of any way that I could have waited to post it until it was done. It seemed to me that the characters in my story demanded to be read by more than just me. Now I know that I've made mistakes in the chapters, and for that, I'm truly sorry. I'm working on that. As for reading a story, I usually look for stories that have several chapters already posted. I don't know why, but I always believe that if there are more than a few chapters already posted, the author will most likey continue the story to its end. I'm not always right on that, but it works out most of the time. I do lose interest in a story with major gaps in time between posts, though. I think the reason for that is that during the interval, I get wrapped up in a completely different story and forget about the one I was reading before. That's bad, I know, but sometimes there's just not enough in the story to make it memorable enough to me to go back every day to look for more. I'm reading one now that has me really excited, and I check the site daily to find out if another chapter has been posted. This story has me so hooked that I doubt I'd ever walk away from it. As for mine, I pretty much know what's going to happen in the story anyway, so doing it chapter by chapter isn't so bad. Most of the stuff in the story is drawn from personal experiences and the experiences of friends and loved ones, so it isn't like I'm running off the rails with it.

Thanks!

Ha!

I'll be sending a money order fairly soon. I'm kind of t'd off to admit that Paypal has already struck me, but not for being gay. It was something to do with my bank. At any rate, they won't let me use my account. If I can swing it, I could send money orders fairly regularly. After all, its the least I can do.
