Elephant. Amazing movie, highly reccomend it.

I'm pretty handy with photoshop and whatnot. What is it you want done?

I've given up on sleep for the most part. It's midnight here and I have to get up at 6:30.

While gender roles have evolved and provide more leeway in this day and age, they remain the same except are no longer gender-specific. Meaning, in a gay relationship, one can be the "domestic goddess" and another the breadwinner. That's not always the case; my parents, for example, both work and then bitch about the housework at a later time, and I'm the only one who can do the laundry correctly. Anyway, your mother knows nothing to insult your career choice (I have the utmost respect for teachers), and you are not lowering yourself by doing what has to be done either way and not making a drama out of it.

I live for the moment my characters get away from me, then I know I have something.

Simply put; Erotica has a thousand words for one picture, porn has cheap manicures

I started it but fell out of touch. Could someone provide the link and oblige my own laziness? It is quite a good story.

NOthing could tear me away from NYC, not even when I amlost got run over by a limo in front of the Pierre while trying to wedge myself into a cab. A luxurious way to die.

This reminds me so much of the night I first came out to someone. It was a friend of mine who was getting very drunk with her best friend at a party as some "BFF ritual" before she had to leave to boarding school. Anyway, they wanted to sleep naked to gether as part of this ritual. I told her around that time when she was blasted (not a bad idea), and her friend got a kick out of it and made the usual "end of the night drunken BF phone call" (fortunately he was high, so it was a fairly even handed convo). She was all, "OMG, I love you and this kid just said he was gay and I'm naked with Alexadra! No, I'm sure he's not lying. Seriously, he really is." Who can blame him? When there's a guy in the room with your topless drunk girlfriend, you want to be damn sure he's queer.

Make it an even two: **hug** I can tell you as someone on the other side of the Atlantic; city life grows on you.

For me, the feedback I want is just a euphamism for rave reviews. Call me an egomaniac, but I get the occasional fan mail and it's all I need. If I want feedback, I'll snag myself an editor, which is about as easy to catch here as an albino deer. But that's another story.

The thing about sex scenes in online stories is that if someone is looking for a sex story to... use, then they'll skip through plot, dialogue, and any other "distractions" whereas the inverse is true for people looking for a real story, they aren't in that "mode" so they skip the sex. Of course, Nifty being an erotica site, a certain level of sexuality is expected. One of my stories I submitted apparently was "ambiguous" when it came to the lead's female best friend, so it got put in the Bisexual section even though the main character was clearly gay. And then there's the sense of "urgency" to give your readers something at one point so they don't lose interest before the sex comes up. That's what I'm dealing with in Underworld.

Sure, sounds interesting.

Go for it, we're all for experimentation here.

everyone goes through funks, wrooters just get them for different reasons. I would recommend just chanigng your email and no longer allowing that as a form of feedback, rather just have people post in response or something. That's about as helpful as I can be aside from just offering my sympathies.

The cinemetography is amazing, the use of Moonlight sonata is briliant, and I am now thoroughly in love with the photographer kid, Elias.

Yeah... Actually, Com, that was my only problem with GFD. Just a bit of constructive critisism. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> True, but GFD pulls it off well. I found that to be more the case in "never Again" where I found myself thinking "Wow, this High School sure has a happening gay scene considering they're all nuerotic closet-cases" Don't get me wrong, it was one of my favorite stories, but it did tend to switch modes in that respect.

Hope you have a great Birthday, Myr!

haha, the next generation at GA. Happy Birthday!

Yeah, English is a totally messed up language. My mother spent a yearabroad in Rome while at Skidmore, and never fails to compare the two cultures, so this is nothing new to me.

Please, I'm not going to hold my breath for the day this board is harsher than my high school. Minor author wiith broken laoptop, unfortunately, so there won't be any more stories from the Reaper for a while. PS. glad you like the avatar, with me everything is another excuse to use photoshop.

Great, the last thing these psychos need is a scalpel in their hand

OK, I just read the first two posts in this thread before scrolling down to read the most recent two and was, like "WTF??? How did we get on microwaves?"
