Ha! You may have just met me, but I've been gathering intelligence on (stalking) you at awesomedude for over two years. P.S. - Welcome again

Welcome to GA Or are you here just to propogate your bunny

:wacko: One thing I wished more of in reading DoAF so far was more battle scenes. Surely the Torrellini vs. Harrington battle in the void was going to give us more detail. But after reading Ch 21, I realized that the reason was probably due to Garrett not leading the battle in the void. Looks like I was just impatient because we're getting our fill now. Thanks Dan!!! Chapter 21 was sooo exciting to read (I've already read it twice!) and can't wait for 22! Note to theDaniel

I've noticed an inconsistency in swearing with use of the F-word. In DoAF Ch 17, Both Bill & Illyana used the term 'farcking' but in Chapter 20, Garrett used the regular F-word as we know it in referencing Zachary to his cousin Scott. Is there a difference in swear words that Garrett might have picked up in his time in the Empire?

I'm pretty it was said that Allan was dead (by Travis in Chapter 20 talking to Kyle). While Dom likes to be vague (like the Oliver/David situation in TOSOM...were they one and the same), once a piece of info is clearly presented, it's usually fact. And if Allan were alive, I'm sure Travis would have spent all those years looking for Allan (just like how he found Sara). Take Care®, Vic

I've been looking forward all week to read it

Dom's babysitting 4yo, drops kid in bathtub, kid busts open head, emergency room.... I found the blog, it's tit(t)led Beware of Dom the Babysitter back in Sept 2005 (when Dom used to spell title with 3 Ts). And regarding Sex in your stories, can I say 'WHOO HOOO!!!!'

And what if he replies "Domluka? So are you an LRITE or an SRITE?"

Yay! Chapter 20 is up! Whew! I've been checking every 30 minutes or so since Friday! Off to read... edit after reading... *gasp* I think Dan was 1 number off when he threatened Cliffhanger, cause that was a doozie. :wacko: I really enjoyed the chapter, but it appears that the gang won't be able to 'relax' now that Garrett has Paul & Frederick back and on their way to Republic space.

Welcome back, your insightful and friendly posts have been missed! It will be good to have you back in whatever capacity you're comfortable with. Take Care®, Vic

It's not corny, it's awesome. I'm glad your feeling happy, congrats!

Happy 23rd Birthday Krista!!!! Live long and prosper!

Good point . Could you imagine Travis & Taylor together? :wacko:

Then what would you call this behaviour?

When I read it, I was thinking that Travis had two goals in mind. One, the opportunity to needle Mrs. Gordon (which he'd be used to doing when he worked for Mr. Gordon), and 2nd to solidify/publicize that Dennis & Travis were together. I think Travis was doing it more for Travis than for Dennis.

Does anyone remember if Dan posted a rough map of space that delineated Republic, Federation, & Empire space? I could have sworn he did but I can't seem to find it. I did find the blog entry where Dan listed that Eclarar space was in the southwest, Republic space in the middle, and Federation space was tear dropped shaped. :wacko:

Happy New Year everyone! I'm back at work today (TGIF). While it sucks being back at work, luckily it's only one day this week. I was sick over most of the holidays with a stubborn cold. I was supposed to go spend Xmas at a friend's, but I didn't want to infect everyone and couldn't stand up for more than 10 minutes at a time, so I just dropped off my food contribution. I made this trio of mini-desserts -- Mini Marscapone cheesecakes, almond thumbprint cookies with pomegranite jelly, and almond marzipan bars. Arranged nicely on a sleek, white tray. Lol, am I gay or what? The cold would not go away. Besides walking Mina, I pretty much stayed indoors. Didn't help that it was in the 40s for most of the break. I did go to a New Year's Eve party. Surprisingly, I think the wine & 420 action seemed to help clear up my cold . I don't know about everyone else, but 2008 pretty much sucked. The work, eat, sleep, repeat cycle just isn't cutting it. I need more gay male friends (real life friends, no offense). I need to do more fun things. I need to be more proactive about it too. Here's to 2009 *raises virtual wine glass for a toast*. Vic

Yeah, I seem to recall that Seth's chest was described as more broad than even Luke & Dave's (and considering they were both wrestlers, must have been substantial). And yes, Seth was a man of few words. The guy in the video was too chatty .

At the time, I wanted to look because I was sensing that he was cheating on me. Turns out I was right . To this day, he swears up and down he never had a physical affair (which to him means he wasn't cheating on me), but he was having a 'mental affair' with someone which was just as bad in my book. I think I'm damaged goods now because I'll always have some nagging doubts & trust issues with any future BFs. Heck, whenever I'm with anyone, I cringe when their cellphones ring and they click 'ignore'. I'm always wondering who called them and get pissed when they don't offer any information up "oh, that was my mom." Crap, cellphones = cheating :wacko: See? Damaged goods.

Yeah, I'll be curious about Lyle's reaction to seeing Dennis & Travis. I'm actually hoping that Travis will get into it with Lyle or at least provide backup and encouragement if Dennis stands up to Lyle. If Travis can stand up to Leo, he can definitely take on Lyle.

I doubt it. Luke just graduated high school and is either going to College or working to save up money to go to college, maybe experience life. I seem to recall from DD that Luke felt he took enough from Eddie & Jase and kinda wanted to be responsible for himself (also, there was a college fund setup for him too). I would like to know more about why Luke chose TOUsville as well as having left the comfortable environment of a happy gay family household. Maybe he needed to get away from Dave? Maybe he's closer to his father's prison?

Having read the story isn't a requirement for participating in this thread . Thanks for your insight!

And hopefully you'll learn to with trust me when I post.
