So, "incest" as a solution. Quite a daring one, though I know that the biological arguments against it are not conclusive. Less important: if he wasn't wearing (his?) spectacles it doesn't matter whether they're clear or not...

The kissing doesn't matter. The hands and the words do. PS is there a mix-up between the Fraser house and the coach house?

As the others write: this is indeed brutal. When love doesn't equal acceptance, terrible things can happen to people, as this tale shows. We know it's going to be alright for K and M. For many it isn't. They end in crime, drugs, prostitution. My heart weeps.

Well, to use this enchanting story to make a (perhaps too) serious point: how much data-gathering - via whatever means - do we find acceptable if, in the end, it invades our privacy? The courtship of the two on YouTube...?

An epic film, "for sure"....

This is absolutely ridiculously funny. Nevertheless I sincerely doubt the existence in any known world (even of bugs...) of a Finn-character. No one can live with an Orel-person....

Old pictures & a new commission
peter rietbergen commented on Robert Hugill's story chapter in Old pictures & a new commission
Of course I'd love to see the most suggestieve truncheon and helmet possible🙂. -
The question is: will it be all honey and roses (though wrapped in spreadsheets)?
-
Really ? Foor ML and A? And what about A's mother?
-
Obviously, there's one flea in the ointment: will the author be able to contrive an end that allows Axl a future beyond baking pancakes for his baby brother?
-
This really is lovely story. Thanks.

A bit of frivolity amidst the depression
peter rietbergen commented on Robert Hugill's story chapter in A bit of frivolity amidst the depression
Indeed: why not design some elegant, simple modern cupboards/chests-on-chests, executed in beautiful blonde wood, and have some brilliant black-and-gilt lacquer panels as insets? -
I gladly buy all of it. But for Aiden's six-year waiting. That is, I think, emotionally improbable. Too much changes in a kid from 8 to 14.

Well, Congrats, from across the sea/ocean. Do take a day off to celebrate. We can wait a bit....

Yes, our mind is the architecture of our own understanding. But building it begins with all those around us, with what the world allows us to use as building blocks. That is why I deeply fear the increasing power of authorities, governments to determine what material we are given, what we may 'collect' from a world unfettered by their narrow view(s) of that world.

I love the bookshop scene. And yes, words survive. Whether they survive with force is another matter. But we can hope...

This is really beautifully told. An impressive start.

A visitor, police-work & story time
peter rietbergen commented on Robert Hugill's story chapter in A visitor, police-work & story time
Very creative. A new illustrated story and a formal garden in an informal context. Brilliant. -
Instead of railroads that take our land we now have multi-lane highways and huge data centers and gigantic shopping malls. All in the name of "Progress"....
-
One big happy family. That is how it should be, in a fantasy... But this specific fantasy leaves me with one question - unless I have missed vital info...: What happens to Canada? Few people, in tales like this, and in the reality of 2026, will rejoice in living in the country where Stars and Stripes are rapidly loosing their old meaning. Not even an "ideal" president will be able to remedy all that has been going wrong for far too many years, already...

Pericles, PJ & Betty from the Museum
peter rietbergen commented on Robert Hugill's story chapter in Pericles, PJ & Betty from the Museum
We Dutchmen think of them as "boring Belgians", too - but then we also tend to think most Englishmen are either drunk, or boring or both, to be really honest 🙂 So let's have an exhibition of cartoons illustrating national stereotypes...- 8 comments

After nearly five years, the coupling. Described in simple words that put dozens of pages of mindless male/gay porn to shame.

Chapter 5 - Andrew
peter rietbergen commented on ChromedOutCortex's story chapter in Chapter 5 - Andrew
Of course it is possible to love more than one person. That's not saying it is easy, emotionally, if only because it is so complicated relationship-wise.
