Chapter 1: Welcome to Kahe‘a
Tim Hobson commented on BrokenBoundariesGayErotica's story chapter in Chapter 1: Welcome to Kahe‘a
Wow! What an exciting start to the story. I can't wait to hear the juicy details. -
This is powerful writing! I stand in awe. 👑
-
A terrifying, triggering story, and one I hope to forget as soon as possible. There should have been a gigantic warning message on this one. What a terrible disservice to GA readers!
-
I love stories that introduce me to things hitherto unknown to me -- like Miku. I'm glad the relationship between Ryan and Jeff. It sounds like they're off to a good start.
-
I can confirm that there are zero Aptenodytes or other related genera in my story!
-
Never had one of those, so I couldn't say!
-
Even scarier
-
Mine's in -- a flashback to Twilight Zone-style horror tales. My "creature" is the most evil, most terrifying thing in the universe!
-
This is all... simply brilliant! Kudos and thanks to all who worked on Stories 3.8. I can't wait to try all the new bells and whistles (or formulae).

Wow! As you know, it takes me weeks to write anything worth posting, and you were able to write every day for a month! You are both an inspiration to me and a pain in the ass because I know I can't do what you do. 😃

How fitting that you wrote April 24 on my 77th birthday! The words are engraved in my mind and, now, printed on fine paper to be framed and displayed next to my bed. Getting old is not for the young-hearted!

April 15 through April 21
Tim Hobson commented on Parker Owens's story chapter in April 15 through April 21
I actually leave the Christmas lights up all year long -- I just call them "party lights" the other months! I shed a tear when I read "one more sweet embrace divine." The one I love is slipping away to dementia, but I'll always remember the "joys prostatic" we shared for so many years. How I long for a "walled garden of love!" One question: is "Abhean" a reference to Irish mythology or Star Wars? -

I'd love to try it! -

This has to be the first recipe-in-a-poem that I've ever seen. As each ingredient went into the pot, I grew hungrier and more ready to head for the kitchen and cook up something similar. -
I loved the variety in these poems (length, meter, structure). Your words flow and created vivid pictures in my mind! Not so sure what all the math stuff was about, but then I've struggled with dyscalculia my whole life. I trace my handicap back to "The New Math" from Yale University that was taught (or rather, attempted to be taught) when I was in Jr High. The teachers didn't seem to be comfortable with it, and they couldn't convey it in a way that I, being right-brained, could fathom. I finally mastered enough of the fundamentals to handle my own budget and taxes.

We do not choose cats. Cats choose us (and they can be very picky!). 😼

A moving tribute to a beloved friend. Thank you for sharing this, @Myr.

Chapter 1 A Comet Like No Other
Tim Hobson commented on Bill W's story chapter in Chapter 1 A Comet Like No Other
Wonderful tribute, @Bill W. I, too, started reading gay fiction on Nifty and found its lack of grammar and editing terribly frustrating. In response, I posted my first three stories there (I suppose they're still there), but fortunately I found GA and have been delighted to read and write here for the past several years. You and I are "of an age," and I really appreciated the tidbits of your life story that came through the tribute to Comet. Thank you for writing! -
Hasn't that already happened since January 20th?
-
Thank you for sharing this poem and the story behind it.

Poem #2 reminds me to two important things. First, those who are differently-abled are real people with challenges I have never had to face, but every bit as filled with joy and sorrow, pain and comfort, and needs that many around them do not see. Second, it brought home that wonderful feeling of relief when we meet someone who completely understands our trials and tribulations--who sees beyond our differences. Two years ago, the worst thing that ever happened in my life occurred without warning. Before I could sink into despair and self-hate, others rallied around me and shared their similar experiences. It made all the difference in my healing and growth. I thank them every day.

Poem #1 sounded so much like my life (born in 1948) that I didn't understand the purpose of the last line. After some thought, I want to believe it means "Things haven't changed as much as we might think. Childhood and growing up are still times of innocent fun, growing appreciation of the world around us, and achieving independence." Whether that was the purpose or not, I am happy thinking that the resilience of the human spirit will always prevail, generation upon generation.

labels can mislead us Oh, how sad but true! For some reason, there are people who feel they must label everything. I believe they do it to contain, control, and condemn, and woe unto anyone who tries to reject, escape, or change a label once it is assigned. But worse still is one who takes advantage of the aversions of others to grasp onto power and cling to it.

“Yuh, okay l’il buddy,” he mumbled, yawning. When I read this, I can't stop picturing Gilligan and the Captain!

Whew! Glad to hear that!
