Justin, you are slowly (ever so slowly) working through all the diversions and delays you can come up with, but eventually you're gonna' have to give us the meeting scene we're all waiting for. I'm definitely looking forward to it... (If I manage to live that long!) Keep up the great work!

Chapter 13 If He Ever Does
Lt.Mac commented on Headstall's story chapter in Chapter 13 If He Ever Does
Don't demand more from yourself than you can provide. Grief must be processed at its own pace. You can't force your mind to "just do it." That is and sounds like a horrible cliche, but that doesn't make it any less true. Give yourself the time you need. -
Haven't figured out how to quote an exchange like yours and mine above. (Should look that up.) I just wanted to say that none of the pet dogs or cats (or squirrels) I've ever had were purchased. They always came from friends or freebee ads in the local paper, or fell out a tree in our yard. The only animal I've ever purchased was a horse. (But I do have a certain lust for a Maine Coon. Actually, I'd love to have had a pet cougar in my lifetime, but that is just an oddball fantasy of mine.)
-
Fun story -- great for a short break from a frustrating day. One thing - I wish to H... that I could find someone who was giving away Maine Coon kittens! They're amazing cats, but a full-blooded Maine Coon kitten costs hundreds (if not more) around here, and that's IF you can find one. Having said that, it's probably just as well I can't find one -- given my age and overall health, it wouldn't be fair to the cat...so I'll stick to my liquid martinis.

The chapter is amazing; the personal update is...hard to contemplate. Bless the spirits of all creatures that have come and gone, as well as those that are, and those that are yet to be.

Justin, when you got into this rewrite, I went back and reread the first version and I've been making a point of keeping up with the narrative as new chapters are posted. It's impressive to see the growth of your craft and your attention to subtext and small details. Keep up the great work!

Well, I'm back for another visit to one of my favorite worlds. Admittedly, I've only read Higher Education once, but I must have read Running With the Pack a half dozen times, at least. Shifters, especially wolves, are my favorite fantasy characters. And this series is one of the best I've found. Thank you for imagining this world and presenting it so well.

Don't think I've posted this before, although this is my third time through this story, but thank you for the travelog in Germany. I was stationed near Heidelberg for two years, almost fifty years ago. I loved Germany, even if I did hate the army. Good memories. A wonderful country. (And I'm enjoying the hell out of the story, once again.) Want to reread 1 & 2 before I dive into 3.
-
Great start! (Kink came into my life about 25 years ago - a welcome guest that has become an old friend.) I'm definitely curious to see where you go with this one.
-
At this point my favorite character in the story is dead (and when he was alive, he wasn't human). I can sympathize with some of the other characters, and I want to find out who done it, but I want to know more about Kane. As to who done it...there's an inkling of an idea sneaking around in the back of my mind.
-
Well...I got through the second paragraph and I've always enjoyed your work, so I think I'm along for the ride. (Putting a beloved animal down beats the crap out of me. I've only had to do it twice, but I know I never want to have to do it again.)
-
Justin -- a thought for your cogitation. Right now, you've got a buffer, so if you get blocked or overloaded in other areas of your life, you won't freak out, worrying that you've got nothing to share with your avid (rabid) readers. I think that, for me, not having that buffer could cause me real problems, if I felt I had to turn out product, even if the work wasn't going so well at some point. I know I've pushed you for the next chapter myself, but I want you to do what's best for your story, and for your personal comfort level. Once chapter a week will keep your audience engaged. Beyond that, consider what will work best for you.

Ah, you're much closer to my age than I thought. That's good to know. Lovin' this one too, but Lone Wolf Ranch is the one I want to see new chapters on. (Please forgive the ending preposition!)
-
I'm not sure that the being under the desert is the monster that is expected. I may well be wrong though. I'm curious to see.
-
I've been waiting and watching for Justin4fun to get back to this story. I'm glad he's posting it here.

A good read, but I do have one small quibble that you may want to correct. (I'm an old musical theatre buff.) Robert Preston did not write "We Got Trouble." He performed it wonderfully on Broadway and in the movie, but the music and lyrics for The Music Man were written by Meredith Wilson. A bit of trivia about The Music Man: Meredith Wilson made more money off a Beatles cover of "Till There Was You," one of the songs in the show, than he did from the original Broadway Production and the movie combined.

Gramps and grandma's are about as good as the world gets; at least mine were. Thanks for the reminder.

I am very much looking forward to your depiction of he who wakens.

I just found this site last year and I've sort of been leery about this particular story. However, since The Malaise is one of my favorite stories on the site, I decided to check this one out. I will admit that, after I read Chapter One, I glanced at the first few paragraphs of the epilogue. I'm an ancient romantic--I like happy endings. So now I'm well into it and looking forward to more. Thanks for the excellent work!

Found this story yesterday and just finished what's here. It's fascinating and I hope it will continue.

This one brings back many fond memories of many wonderful experiences over the years. I'm old now - too old and frail to play the way I used to. The first time I ever watched a live flogging, I wondered how anyone could get off on letting themselves be beat upon. But as I watched, I realized that the Dom was working his ass off to give the sub exactly what he wanted and needed. I was fascinated and began to explore. As I said - fond memories. Thank you.
