I just thought of a theme song for my double whammy, The Boy on the Porch, and The Taft Family’s Before and After: "Straight to Hell" by Drivin' N Cryin'
I too enjoyed the line: "Besides it's not good manners to bang your boyfriend senseless after the first date in his mom's house." This has been a serious story and the chuckle it elicited was quite welcome.
I hope Corey isn't angry with Nathan for not reaching out, although he recognized something was bothering Nate and maybe will be patient enough to give him the time he needs to sort out his feelings for Corey. Excellent title for the chapter, too.
Yes, unfortunately, my mean streak can be quite graphic. I have no plans for terrible points in the next story, so that one should be safe from hesitation. No tremendously horribly described deaths there into chapter 6. Thanks for the improvement comment.
I had to look up Prince Rogers Nelson. Wasn't a real big fan so I didn't know his full name. If he was very prolific, thank you, I had no idea.
Another great one. I’m finally almost caught up in all 3. Nate needs to tell Max about him snd Corey, just in case. Now that they “made up,” if Max has hopes for something more, it’ll be soon, I think.
Another good one. I’ve had a few Jacksons in my stories. I like making the homophobes and general asswipes suffer. Kindred spirits, you and I to some extent.
Another excellent one. I don’t know a lot about Aspergers, but I do know there is quite a wide range of levels. I suspect Corey is on the high end of functionality. Not completely socially inept, but needs to work at it. Nate is on a different spectrum, anger and pissed off at his situation. Corey will be a leveling influence.
Regarding Max, Jess will set him straight and he’ll tow the line because he wants to keep his balls.
Wow! Emotionally packed. Had to work hard to keep the tears at bay. Excellent job. Can’t wait to read more. Fortunately, I won’t have to. For a few chapters anyway.
Seems to me the best stories are the ones that pretty much write themselves. I’ve never used an outline. I start with the general idea and let the characters do what they want to do.
Our personalities leak in and hopefully, the end result of that combination is entertaining.
As always, your feedback is great. I’m glad you feel they were well written. Maybe I am getting better at this as I go along. I’ll give some credit to my Beta Reader, @Sherye Story Reader keeps me on track, finding my mistakes.
