Never have I ever had sex flat on my back on an iceberg.

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!

I feel an even more sinister dread. That alchemist was able to track Nathan everywhere he went because he was carrying a talisman. If I were Nathan, I'd be super-careful about carrying anything that I didn't already own. Who knows what might have been hidden in a bag or a box they bought from the trader? Or am I just paranoid?

So true!

I feel a sense of excitement and dread. I hope for the best but prepare myself for challenges to come. It will be an interesting tenday.

Sorry to be a wet blanket, but the grass is rarely greener on the other side. We tend to take all our problems and issues with us. I wish them the best, but I don't expect it.

The pactrids are truly a wise people. I just hope they all escape without incident (but then, that would make for a less exciting story!).

Truth's Hardship, Pt. 2
Tim Hobson commented on Mike Carss's story chapter in Truth's Hardship, Pt. 2
Loved the part with the sentry p*ssing on the stump! I had a very similar scene in my last story. I think I saw it in a WW2 movie once, too. -
"this story has been repeated so many times—and for so long—that it’s become the truth" I think that's called "history"! "that’ll never happen until the truth is told. Not just told, but believed" Kind of the problem we're having these days. Say something long enough, and everyone begins to believe it. Then, anyone who says the opposite is outcast or worse.

the high ranks are in complete denial, unaware of the facts, or worse Been there, seen that. -
Truth's Hardship, Pt. 1
Tim Hobson commented on Mike Carss's story chapter in Truth's Hardship, Pt. 1
That never works. The masters of lies easily make truth look like fiction. The only thing that works is action on the part of decent, honest people who risk their lives for the truth. -

I dread what I know is coming.
