When “Jason” made it into the story, you could have knocked me over with a feather… I was first shocked, then sad, then angry and now I’m sad again. It felt like when Nash found about Lee, about Cam… but it’s me and MrsGnomie is Lee or Penn. Which is a sign of great storytelling. But still I don’t like it, not one bit.

I just finished reading this story… and wow. I was hooked from chapter one and didn’t put it down for… honestly, I lost count. I stayed up until 2 a.m. night after night, and it felt like I lived through that entire semester with Corbin. I wasn’t just reading—I was in it, walking those halls, sitting in those classes, unraveling alongside him through every twist, betrayal, hookup, and heartbreak. There were times when I hated Corbin. Truly. I thought he was despicable… cruel, manipulative, emotionally reckless. I kept wondering what had happened to him as a child to make him behave that way. But then I realized: part of my reaction was because he’s so completely opposite from me. My own college experience was nothing like his. Still, in the end, I couldn’t help but admire him. Because as the saying goes, we regret the things we didn’t do more than the things we did. And Corbin did it all. Academically, socially, politically, and personally… he didn’t hold back. College has a way of magnifying everything. Our youth convinces us that every moment is earth-shattering, that every mistake or connection will define us forever. And Jwolf captures that exactintensity so perfectly. You can feel Corbin learning—about life, about people, about himself… even when he doesn’t yet realize he’s doing it. That level of emotional realism is rare. And while it’s emotionally deep, make no mistake—this story is also a fun ride. The drama, the sharp dialogue, the absurd moments, the late-night confessions, the chaos of college life. it’s addictive. More than once, I found myself yelling out loud—“No!” or “Oh my God!”—completely shocked at a twist I didn’t see coming. There was even a point when I literally threw my phone down because I needed a minute to collect myself before diving back in. It’s that kind of rollercoaster. The kind that leaves you breathless, a little bit wrecked, and totally hooked. Also… can we talk about how every single person who has sex with Corbin walks away like they’ve just seen God? I mean, the man apparently has magical powers. At some point, I stopped judging and just thought, “You know what? Put me on the list—I need to experience whatever the hell is going on over there!” Lol Once I got over the initial shock of Corbin verbally tearing people to shreds, I actually started to look forward to those moments. I’d smile when he stepped up, jabbed someone in the chest, and said a number, that number being the exact count of verbal lashes he was about to unleash. It was savage. It was hilarious. It was so Corbin. The writing is superb. Jwolf is a natural, a masterful storyteller. His pacing is sharp, his characters are vivid, and his dialogue is impeccable. But what stood out to me most was how honest the story is, especially the inner dialogue. The raw, unfiltered thoughts Corbin has, the ones most of us would never say out loud, are right there on the page. We’ve all had moments of insecurity, jealousy, petty thoughts, unspoken shame… and Jwolf doesn’t flinch. He writes them anyway. And in doing so, he reminds us how human we all are. The fact that this story is autobiographical absolutely blew my mind. If I had lived through even half of what Corbin did, I’d be in a padded room 20 years later, still rocking back and forth whispering “Pete… Mike… Kevin…” So the resilience behind the story only deepens my admiration. It’s a shame the story is currently on long-term hold, because The English Year is one of the most emotionally engaging and well-written pieces I’ve read. It’s messy, it’s sharp, it’s vulnerable and it’s unforgettable. And honestly, I can only hope it’s on hold because someone is turning it into a TV series. It’s that good. It deserves to be seen and felt by a much wider audience.

Just found this story and I’m already hooked… and I’m only on Chapter 1! I’ve been looking for something to really pull me in for quite a while now, and most stories lose me quickly, but this one has me right away. Jwolf, tried emailing but couldn’t … if you ever see this, your writing is fantastic. That said, I get the feeling The Funny Thing Is might be connected to other stories Jwolf has written? If anyone here can point me in the right direction, should I read something else first? Would love to follow everything in the right order. Thanks in advance, and huge congrats to the author. this is really great work.

So relatable, I remember feeling the same way, unsure, confused, horny but afraid…. I was working at a coffee shop on the boardwalk in Atlantic City at the time, my senior year of high school. this made an already great story more personal. Great work. Can’t wait for more.

The morning is gone, but what a beautiful sunrise it was. Everything was filled with light, blinding destiny’s laws. The sun blessed us with its rays, I felt the warmth on my face, In your hands, you held the soil which nourished my soul. a surge of fresh air, and I blossomed in your embrace. But seasons shifted without a sound, the colors faded, roots unwound. A creeping chill replaced the spring, and doubt began its whispering. You crushed the roots you

Reading this a second time, I’m going slower and really savoring every word. The first time I was swept away by the story; now I’m even more deeply moved. The scene where Andy promises to protect Matt shattered me all over again. Your writing brings their world to life so vividly — it stays with me long after I stop reading. Thank you for this beautiful story.

I just finished reading your Crosscurrents story and it really touched me. Then I came to read this one and my mouth dropped after reading “Beyond this hopeless love story, there were "fans" I just didn't have time for anymore, people who expected me to take up serious online friendships with them just because they fell in love with the Me in my story. They could all go to hell.” that is totally me and you just crushed me. But I’ll say this I fell for your talent, the way you write had me up until 3 am for a few nights. I just couldn’t put my phone down. Congratulations for these wonderful stories, and… you hurt me!
