It's all about the politics.

I think Tony is struggling to avoid the answer to that question.

The next chapter of Paternity should be up within the next couple of days. In the meantime, if you're bored, they did an interview with me on the GA blog. You can find it here.

Well, the latest chapter of St. Vincent is up. I also wanted to add that I did an interview here on GA. In case you missed it and were interested, the link is here.

February 14, 1797 Granger watched as Captain passed between Excellent and Diadem and set a course directly toward the heart of the Spanish fleet, directly toward the Santissima Trinidad. “Mr. Brookstone. Belvidera to Flag. Captain is engaging the enemy!” “Aye aye sir!” Brookstone said. “Let’s maintain our station on Captain, but stay out of range of those battleships,” Granger said to Clifton. “Flag has acknowledged, sir,” Brookstone s

I think that the verdict is still out on how uptight these guys turn out when they actually arrive at adulthood. Right now, they're mostly just bitchy teenagers. I'm not sure where you're getting the Will and Tony thing. Right now they're just hook-up buds. I'm not sure I see that changing.
-
That's what I've done, and it worked out well. I realized that if I got overwhelmed, trimming back my writing didn't mean giving it up, it just meant postponing it. And I have appreciated your feedback. Most of the time. ;-)

I think that Wade is definitely anal retentive, and both he and Matt have the makings of control freaks. You may be right about the generational thing, but I think the fact that they are both more secure with themselves has a lot to do with it. I also think the crucible they went through in "Bloodlines" bound them together more tightly than most guys their age.

I'm glad the mood was right. It's possible that Carl is just an idiot, or perhaps there's more there. We'll have to see.
-
Ah, you'll just have to trust me. ;-)Besides, agreeing to a truly polyamorous relationship is entirely different than actually living it.
-
I agree, and I personally liked this chapter. Relationships so often reach these crisis points, and I decided that these two had the skills and the love to cement their connection.
-
It's like Wade uses his super-powers for good, not evil (like his mother). ;-)
-
I've pondered that. Maybe I'll do a cameo with him in a future story and see how it goes.
-
Glad you liked it!
-
I think that it's a bit like the dilemma in Poor Man's Son: Matt is still immature, but then again, he is still in college, so he's not really doing bad for his age. I think the problem is that Wade has grown exponentially, especially with Riley's birth.
-
How can you be 'against' 20-year olds having kids? It's kind of an individual thing, don't you think? I'm glad you liked the step-son reference. Adapting to a baby's arrival isn't always an easy thing.
-
I'm glad you enjoyed them! I think this was truly a seminal battle, in that it marked the beginning/change where captains began to have more control over how they engaged the enemy.
-
We'll see what happens to the randy Welsh lad. I'm glad you liked the pics. I've got a few good ones for the next chapter!
-
One of the things I try to keep in mind as I write this is that compared to the other characters, I think Matt and Wade do a really good job of communicating with each other. Now granted, no one/couple is perfect, but even in this situation, with some serious shit to deal with, they manage to work through it together. If it were Brad and Robbie, Robbie would already be in a body bag by now. If it was JP, he'd still be grinding things around in his mind, and not verbalizing them to Stef.

That made me laugh my ass off. -
September 29, 2000 Palo Alto, CA Wade I could tell that he was still seething, absolutely furious. This is where I’d wanted him to get, to see Carl for the shithead that he was, but now that he was there, I typically felt sorry for him. I really loved the guy, probably a lot more than he loved me, although I knew that he loved me a lot. Maybe it wasn’t the amount of love, though, maybe it was the protectiveness. I saw him as kind of a neophyte when it came to people like C

Remember that the frigates aren't built heavy enough to withstand the firepower of a ship of the line. Think of it in more modern terms, with armor. A WWII battleship had really thick armor (more than a foot) so it could withstand enemy fire. A cruiser didn't. The same thing holds true here. The frigates weren't built "heavy" enough to withstand that kind of damage. As for Molotov cocktails, remember that if the British could do that, so could the Spanish. I believe Wellington made a comment along those lines about poison gas.

I might.
-
LOL. Don't do that. We need to have Wiki accurate. I use it all the time.

This turned out really well, and it had to take a lot of work. Kudos to you, Lugh, and to your team, for all that effort! Well done!
