I'm soooo sorry I teased a fellow LRITEr. Your justification for skipping Dom sex scenes is entirely appropriate.

Hey Menzo, I can understand the ladies skipping the sex scenes, but 20yo gay boys skipping them? Cause I gotta tell ya, Dom writes good gay sex. To each his own I guess Take Care®, Vic

In an exchange between Ben & Owen...

I fourth that... But remember when Dom asked his fans about whether they enjoyed reading the sex scenes? Lot's of people were saying they didn't read them or that they skipped them over . Apparently Dom listened. :wacko: Take Care ®, Vic

Kids are meant to be spoiled Vancey! You'll make a great Daddy. Let Sam be the disciplinarian Vic

WOW Luc, that was an amazing story! I really don't know what to say besides that I really enjoyed it. I haven't read any of your other work, but I think I'm going to have to . Take Care, Vic

Anna, that was really cute!!!! Thanks for sharing. Vic

I just wanted to publicly thank JSmith (Joey ) for all the work he does on GA. I've gotten to work with Joe in a couple of stints here at GA, and each time I've been extremely impressed with his leadership style, his willingness to take on tough tasks, and the volume of work he does. Not only does he do a lot of the technical, behind the scenes work on the site, but he also has a common sense approach to leadership that is rare, but highly respected out in the real world. Besides my obsession for Dom ( ), its people like you who motivate many of us to participate and be a part of GA. Joe, although you

Wow. Sorry Dom, I know this is your life, but wow! Does this mean you don't have to watch as much TV as you did before? Take Care, Vic

Although this is harsh, eliminating Oliver would at least tie up some loose ends. Oliver's mom is already dead and I suspect that Brian will either be dead or in jail in the end. Who else will be around to take care of Oliver and his special needs?

While the average age of Leonev's fleet may be younger than the republics, I believe that the Lexington is the newest ship in the fleet (or at least the newest Super Carrier). As described by Garrett in DoH Ch 11 'The most powerful ship in any fleet'. Any capabilities that the newer technology may provide is already in the hands of the Republic. While the Traitors may have more of the latest technology, there should be no surprises to the Republic (besides the thwarting of the guidance systems). Vic

*thought more about this* Hi Joe, The underlying issue is that by trying to control you via curfews & college dollars, your mom is trying to get rid of the gay part of you. And while I have no doubt that you can be successful doing this on your own, you have a right to those college funds just as much as your brother and sister do. You've worked hard at being a good student and you deserve the opportunity to go to the best schools possible. If possible, have a sit down with your mom (and maybe your father too). Tell them what you've told us. Tell them that you will be going to school with or without their help. Tell them that you've earned the right to stay out later, that you've maintained excellent grades, work hard, and deserve their trust. Keeping you home at midnight on vacation will not prevent you from having desires for companionship of the same sex. It may prevent you from fooling around with boys (and girls), but the thoughts won't go away. I'm not sure you should come out and threaten them, but they need to understand that they risk loosing you if they continue along this path. Do they really want to risk loosing a good relationship with their son? Put it in those terms. Vic

I agree with Trebs. If you're an adult now (or going to be one), you'll have to learn to sit down and have a conversation with your mum. If you can do it calmly and respectfully, you might be able to convince her that you are trustworthy and that she's being irrational. However, easier said than done with your mom then anyone else. I can't talk to my mom for more than 5 minutes without me ending up yelling. Vic

Braxix...Braxix...Why does that name sound familiar??? Don't we have a member named Brax? I think the Republic will figure out why the guidance systems are off on the missiles and that it shouldn't be a problem in the future. But I wonder if the Traitor fleets will try some kind of offensive action before the republic is allowed to continue to build up their forces. Granted, the Traitors will need to build up and train their forces due to the purge of clones, but I can't see Leonov standing pat. Could an encounter at Calos be up next??? Vic

That was such a complex chapter that I had to re-read it to make sure I understood everything. I'm thinking of reading it again just to make sure I didn't miss any details. I agree with Marty that David is still alive , but I have this strange feeling that Oliver is NOT going to make it out of TOSOM alive. I'd also guess that Oliver will die trying to protect Frank and/or David. Vic

Happy 17th Birthday Anna!!!! It seemed like only a year ago you were 16 and weren't getting a car...*sigh* I hope you get one this year! Take Care®, Vic

Welcome IceBoX to the Domaholic Forums!!!! If you like Desert Dropping, it's a sure bet that you'll like The Lo(n)g Way and The Ordinary Us. Dom also has some short stories as well as two other serials in process. If I can give you any advice, I'd say pace yourself and take your time reading them. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask or check out the Domaholic FAQs . Welcome again!!! Vic

I'm making room for advertising space that I've sold to American Meat Goat Association (AMGA) at http://www.meatgoats.com/

Politically, it would make sense for Leonev to ally himself with the Democratic Sol Empire. Wasn't Leonev the one who was stoking the flames of that crazy democracy movement against the great houses? As well, the blockade is being put in place to stop the rebels from sending out ships to try to start insurrections with the Democracy movements on the other Republic worlds. But I think as others have pointed out, the renegade clones are still an unknown and Bolt ships could still come into play . Vic

Oh, good point Rigel, I hadn't thought about what Ian's going to want to do in terms of church. That entire day was always orchestrated by the folks, so what's Ian going to do with himself? Vic

Gary's passing didn't bother me as Garrett's harem is large enough as it is. When Dan posted in his blog that a character would die, I was actually worried that Aaron was the one who would be killed. Now it seems like Aaron will be the character who Garrett falls the most for and will eventually be his downfall. Kinda like the character from Vampire Jared...I forgot his name. While there is no question on the loyalty of Garrett's other 'familiars', Aaron's loyalty isn't as assured. Which is probably why Garrett is so attracted to him. Masako also sees the potential of Aaron's unhealthy grip on Garrett. Just my thoughts. Vic
