Very sad news. Comsie is, in my opinion, the best author when it comes to my favourite topic(s). I haven't read any of his stories for years now, too busy, but have always been planning to read all of them. So immense thanks to gayauthors for keeping the archive online. I am also willing to buy books with stories by Comsie (I'd prefer that even, over reading from a screen).

I received this email from Comicality (on the mailinglist) where he says: And that is supposedly here, in "comicality Cafe", but I don't see any discussions here at all-- mostly just new story announcements. Where does all this Comicality-related chat go on? Where are the most active fans of him active? I can't seem to find the thread that Com refered to in his mail here. I've looked so often for this 'forum' of him after he posted about it, and I've never been able to find it

I just read Bill Chase. Started at the beginning. I've read chapters 1 till 48 now, took me two weeks or something; I read a bit every day. I've cried REALLY hard when Jimmy tried to kill himself... but I already had seen it coming for a long time. Billy is pretty stupid here and there (well, mostly). He doesn't seem to see things that are so obvious, and he doesn't want to say anything or react to anything or take a chance, following his heart (but that is normal for Coms stories ). Anyway, I too, think that Billy and Jimmy should start french kissing, and then Jimmy will get all happy again and Billy tells everyone he's gay and in love with Jimmy and they return to school again and all his friends are happy for them and nobody teases Jimmy anymore or Billy and all his friends beat the shit out of them! Thanks Aleric

First thing I do when I wake up at 1 pm because the neighbors are hammering or playing booming music, is curse them and turn on the radio next to my bed with static noise, so loud that it makes it easy to concentrate on that instead. I also turn on a ventilator that makes contact with my bed, making it rumble, so that I only hear that when I press my ear in the pillow. When I wake up around 4 pm, it's time to get out of bed, and the first thing I do sit behind PC, often even before opening the curtains-- check if I'm still connected to IRC and whether or not anything was said during the 'night' that concerned me, read email... etc. Breakfast comes much later, like 7 pm.

If you like science fiction, then you could give my story a try I just very recently put it online. It's not finished, but still good for about 2 hours of reading thus far. There has been someone on my site a week ago who registered as 'green', was that you? I am not sure if I am allowed to mention the url here, but you can ask me in private (or look at my profile). Aleric

It doesn't really matter, cause in the end you'll have to read it all anyway I first read all his short stories. Now I am addicted to reading series though. Gone From Daylight is his best story I think, but if that means you should keep it for the winter nights next to your open hearth, or start reading it right away, I can't say. Aleric

HAPPY BIRTHDAY :wub: YR Aleric

I can't believe that is necessary. I've had offers from people in the past for webhosting for as little as $5/mo (ok, that was exceptional). I have a " friend" who runs a webhosting service with everything this site needs, and I'd surprised when it wouldn't be more than enough to host gayauthors.com. I don't know about the price, but it can't be anything near $175 per month, that is ridiculous. Aleric

It's "We Are In Love" by Harry Connick Jr. I found it with Google in one try http://www.connick.com/hcjr/pages/lyrics/weareinlove.shtml The Google Expert, Aleric :graduated:

I'd love to HAVE one anyway heheh. It's less nice to be detected like that, of course. Nevertheless, if this is true, then can one conclude that the friend that you are secretly in love with SMELLs nice, then he is gay? Or, that if some man is popular with the ladies, then he is not gay? I have my doubts about this 'research'. Aleric

I'd seen the camp-fire on the beach from a great distance. Although it was dark, too dark to see anything from that distance, I had known immediately that there weren't many people there, because it had been totally silent. When I finally arrived at the place where the fire was burning I could see a young boy, who had been staring absent mindedly into the sea, but who had turned towards me with a short expression of hope on his face when he became aware of my presence. An expression that especially drew my attention when it faded away once I stepped into the circle of light. I sat down next to the fire without saying anything, and neither did he. And so we sat in silence for a few minutes. "What's on your mind kid?" I asked breaking that silence. He studied my face for a while before replying. Then he started to pour out his young heart. "There are no other kids on this island," he said softly, making a weak gesture that hardly included even a part of the beach, as if the spirit do to anything at all had left him. "And you feel alone," I said. "All I want is a friend, to lay on the beach and look at the stars. To build sand-castles with, to collect shells and to swim with during the day and watch the sun set into the sea. To share the camp fire and tell stories. All I want is a friend to be with, who understands me, that I can laugh with and cry with. That, is what I miss." I felt a tear run down my cheek and we sat there in silence for a long time. When I got tired I did lay back and watched those stars, and the kid moved over and came and lay next to me, and we watched the stars together.

Heh, no, no dream I'd call it 'Art'. Comprising a lot of emotions, from shocking till 'happy' into a very short 'story'. There is a LOT in this story, and a lot that might make people think. I suppose my main objective is just to stirr in peoples minds and make them confused. Unfortunately, seeing the number of reactions, I think I've succeeded too well. Hopefully people don't confuse art/stories with real life. Hmm, I'll post another one in a minute... If I can make up one that is. Hopefull I'll get more reactions then Aleric

"I'd like to do something with children", I said. I had been out of a job for quite a while now: a nervous break-down. I used to be a computer programmer, but after a break of 10 years I could forget about getting a job in my old profession. The lady behind the desk of the labour exchange looked at me but before she could say anything, I added, "White children." And she closed her mouth again. I was white myself and after having lived in a black ghetto for nearly 8 years now, I could all but admit that my affinity with little negroes was absent. "Make that, white BOYS." "You'd, like to do something with... white boys...", the lady behind the desk said. It wasn't a question. She looked over the edge of her glasses and then asked, "with blond hair and blue eyes?" I was pleased she was assigned to me, we seemed to immediately understand eachother. "Oh, yes please!" I smiled. She picked up the phone and started a soft conversation with someone, every now and then throwing glances in my direction. I couldn't hear what she was talking about but I felt confident. Finally, she put down the phone. Well, I'm pleased we can offer you a job Mr.Al, there is a vacancy for the job of masseur of the famous actor Harry Eden. You can start tomorrow.

I suppose it's not a good thing that even HERE I am reluctant to say ... cause well, it should be a place of understanding and safity here, right? But ok, I am not doing anything wrong, so here it goes... I've totally fallen for the character of 'Ben' in 'The lazarus child', played by 'Harry Eden'. I have to add that it made a big difference that he dyed his hair white/blond in that movie . So, before people start to look up the wrong pictures of him, allow me to put an image of him on the web myself: Harry Eden as Ben in 'Lazarus Child' Now please nobody give me the "he's too young" shit, he might be for you -- but I fell in love ok? So apparently he's NOT too young to fall in love with, case proved. If you think he's majorly cute too, then have a look at lazarus19.png too, now aint that a boy to give your own life for?! Oh, I have to add: it's definitely not just looks that count of course. You have to see him move and talk too . It's quite an actor! Very good! I'll be looking forward for movies with him in leading roles in the forthcoming years! Aleric

Oh my Oh my... It's more than 24 hours since I saw this movie now... but its only getting worse! My feelings are a turmoil! I am falling! HELP ME! I haven't felt this confused since I saw Elijah Wood in 'The Good Son'... I know, it's not NORMAL to fall in love with a character in a movie, one that you never even saw in Real Life... but hey, my whole love life is doomed to be a fantasy, so why not a movie? It's not like I see boys in real life, at ALL Anyway, I am hopelessly in love, and very depressed at the same time; cause the emotion is so strong -- the love songs suddenly so intense and true, but at the same time ... I have nothing. I am still alone, I just feel my lonelyness so much stronger *sigh* Thank God for pillows that you can hug and whisper to... Harry E. Aleric

Worth it? I've been on there for 6 hours non-stop, only to see a bunch of people join... and leave, without even greeting me or saying anything! Then, after 6 hours of waiting I finally found two other people sticking around, but they weren't chatting. When I said hi, one (ok, it was you) said "sorry, but I am in a private chat with blah blah". You won't see me back anymore, this simply isn't going to work. I'd still like to chat with nice gayauthor members though. Is there anyone else who is interested to start a channel on some IRC network? I have an IRC client on 24/7 (it even got its own half monitor (of the two monitors that I have)). Aleric

Not if they loop continuously without obviously starting over . <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ok, I agree Yours is not annoying. Aleric

Animated avatars are annoying.

Hi Robbie, welcome to gay authors. I badly need an editor, would you be interested to read my unpublished chapters and correct them etc? The only 'demand' I have is that you are native english (living in the USA or California and speaking english all the time), cause that is my biggest problem: I am NOT native english and in a lot of cases I don't know how to say things in a 'natural' way Aleric

I missed it, I was with my parents this weekend But then again... There isn't MSN for non-windows (linux) I suppose? And I don't know how to translate PDT into GMT. Please give times in GMT next time? Aleric PS I'd prefer IRC for chatting -- there are clients for that for every OS.

Happy Birthday reapersharvest! Aleric

Hi from me too. I don't like it that there are so many forums... people will just read one of them in most cases, imho. I know that I stay in 'general' anyway, that way I might miss interesting conversations and people, but well - the alternative is to read all the different forums, isn't that just a lot more work? I don't know how to improve that though, I am not saying those other forums should be removed heheh -- I never really read them, so I don't know how different/needed they are. Aleric PS I gave feedback to 'Do Over' a while back in one of of the threads in 'General', but dk didn't reply... so I guess he missed it Therefore, after I *finished* reading 'Do Over' I went searching for his own personal forum, to add some text to it... and couldn't find it. I guess I am just stupid I noted he is a moderator of 'Dan Luka's' forum, but 'Dan Luka' and dKstories doesn't sound the same, that would be dlstories

What is 'Internet Explorer'? Must be one those things where non-Winf**k users are considered to be non-existant. I don't use Micro$ofts products, that includes windows. But there isn't even a vote option 'I don't use IE'. By the way, did you know that IE is the number one reason that people can break into your PC? Spyware, sure. More dangerously is the fact that the criminal world is really interested in your PC: to send SPAM mails from or to use it for DDOS. The current worms and virusses are probably written by real (criminal) professionals. Using IE is irresponsible imho. If you have to use windows, then at least secure your machine so that it can't be used for DDOS, and that means/includes (it is by far not enough) DONT use IE.

Me too (because of Comicality). In the past I read stories from nifty, and thought that most was very badly written. Once I found comicalities site, he was The Best, and I assumed there was no other writer in existance that I'd want to read stories from anyway. However, then I read 'Coup

People here saying they 'hardly dream anymore' are incorrect. You always dream, you just don't remember them anymore. Also I do never remember my dreams, or when I do when I wake up then still those memories are totally gone 10 minutes later. I do remember to have dreamed things, whole stories, that are exactly the same as what I dreamed before - I think that is a normal kind of thing. Doesn't happen too often to me though. I never have scary dreams that I can remember. Things like that girl from the ring and stuff don't scare me at all; I think I can explain that with my psychological problem, perhaps... I have Asperger Syndrome and feel detached from reality (if anything scares me then it is THAT, I have medicines against panic attacks, which are often caused by me losing the contact with reality too much, which scares me). It's why I love the computer so much and have no social life: when I live 'inside' the computer, in virtual worlds (including chatting) then I can forget and ignore the horrible feeling that the detachment with the real world gives me. My day-to-day way to stay alive is to ignore the world around me as much as possible... I don't wish that to anyone else. I am not crazy though (in fact, I have very high IQ), you could see as just a disturbance of perception (but then one that doesn't go away when you close your eyes). Anyway, a girl like from the ring creeping up to me would feel like she is creeping up to someone in a movie: its not real, not even when it WAS real, let alone in a dream or on tv, heheh. Aleric
