    Great Cassie, keep it coming. I love werewolves and Zeke seems like such an interesting one.

    Chapter 1

    KC, I really felt for Alex and the problems he was facing. Being betrayed by a lover is not something anyone would want, but at least he got perspective from it. He might not be a multi-millionaire anymore, but he found true love, which no amount of wealth could ever buy. Thanks for writing it.
  3. Did anyone take a notice at what stories seem to have the most length? I know, I know, it doesn't matter how big the word count is, but how you write your story I just noticed this by accident, but Bill W., Altimex, and W.L (me), were the three longest in word count. Also, all three of us wrote science fiction stories, using different ideas and different points of view. Just an observation

    From the Ashes

    It's a wonderful science fiction story, I am betting that you had read Homeward Bound at one point as I had It also carries a lot of scientific interest that I also have worked on, I am wondering why you did not make use of quantum entanglement though to describe instant communication at the perceptive FTL speed or the factor of relativity and expansion state of the universe creating potential loop holes if you remove time as a an active dimension in itself, though personally, I am an adherent to Four Dimensions of spacetime as one unified unit. I love the way you described quantum tunneling and the chain idea is perfect. If you ever feel like collaborating with another writer on a joint Science fiction story, hit me up. I love your style, plus I have covered some of the same ground as you in my stories, though I am much more a Babylon 5 and Battlestar Galactica guy than Star Wars, but in terms of social commentary, I will still admit to a underlying love of Star Trek.
  5. Thanks, What questions do you think they were? if you mind me asking, I love reader feedback.

    Story

    Cia, I loved it and I think you nailed down some good thoughts. I've known a lot of wheel chair bound kids and it is not easy to live in world based around limitations. One of the first things that people with disabilities try to confront is their limitations. For me, I might not have sight in my left eye, and it does effect how things work with me.
  7. Glad to here you love the story, even if it is a bit dark.
  8. People write in terms of perspective in GA. Memory Fragment writing though with philosophical underpinnings is rarer. It's just a case of style really, because I know a lot of writers love using perspectives. It's scary enough to be grounded in reality, but it makes your heart grow colder as you read. Thanks for the review
  9. If I remember correctly, this was the same guy depicted in Braveheart Really beautiful sonnet and wonderfully written

    Drunk Enough

    C'est tres bien! I needed a firm dose of comedy and that hits the sweet spot. Lugh, the story was original, the characters funny, and the plot exciting. Chord and Gaston are the funniest gay couple I have read about and cared about.
  11. Awesome Bill, I love how you melded and worked out an outbreak with such fine detail. Also, it is such a great irony that gays and lesbians were immune, but Phelps and his Westboro group still said no to treatment. Lol! I love the happy ending

    Chapter 1

    hmm...an amoral British smuggler and a lot of unanswered questions. Good plot point As Doyle would say "the games afoot", keep on writing!

    Ashton's Place

    Great Dark fairy tale, reminded me of the sixth sense meets "The Others". It is dark, but death is merely the beginning of another journey, I hope

    Chapter 1

    Great story, I feel for Mickey a lot, because I can understand what he feels and fears. Sometimes, when you are hurt or afraid after a bad relationship, you just can't move on for a long time. Glad that they got a happy ending and Andrea should grow up to be a gay couple's counselor
  15. Well, Call me the Dark Gay Knight I am getting maybe my new style is giving everyone goosebumps, but I hope it opens your minds, which I think is the main thing about the story. It's a tale of darkness, filled with humanity, and left to contemplation. It is that kind of despair that leaves a lasting image for the future as something to avoid. I hope people after reading this story think more about their lives and their death.

    Chapter 1

    This story is very natural and stylistically beautiful. The subject is something very modern, alienation, but it is told with such depth and ornate designs that it impresses a feeling of life even in the darkness. I wonder if Billy Bayou and Davy hold more than merely a friendship, I wonder how complicated the story truly is beyond what is said and written, and I wonder where things will go after Linda's death. I agree with Nephy, your poet side is show very well in this story. It feels like your channeling Hawthorne or someone from the early 19th century.

    Chapter 1

    It is really interesting to read, Fantasy stories have a rich array of characters. I love your story, because I can see this in how each character represents their side or perspective. Harlin is noble, but naive. Stephen is loving, but inexperienced. Fenzu is caring, but insensitive. Seriously, keeping developing this universe and try to get the characters toward a deeper connection. I want to know more about these twins, who are they? Is Stephen the chosen heir to the throne or is he destined to be a warrior prince? Are there other kingdoms? Is Fenzu part of a Fantasy based Secret service or is what he does more like the ninjas of Japan, protection at price for anyone without fealty? Please keep it coming
  18. Bill, you're the master of emotions. I am merely a puppy at the moment Your praise is great and I really appreciate it.

  20. Nephy, You got my point nailed down This story is a social commentary and scary one at that. I think a lot of gay partners and even straight couples don't take enough time to think about end of life choices. It might be science fiction, but in general, the issue is not so far out of the realm of reality.
  21. Thanks, Q I thought it would be interesting and refreshing read for everyone.
  22. https://www.gayauthors.org/story/w-l/adreamerwithoutadream/1 Well, it is now up for your reading pleasure. Consider this my return to active writing again and science fiction. I have been holding back my ideas for a very long time and now I think I can explore them. It is a social commentary brand of science fiction, so I hope it does not detract from readers. For all those who have waited, almost 2 years, for a new chapter in W.L's science fiction universe or meta-verse, this will be a welcoming gift. A major story will be coming soon (This time a completed story with 36 chapters spread across 3 parts), if my editors do not kill me and I can make the July deadline to coincide with GA's Anniversary Novella. In the past, I have written stories based on cerebral takes on life, but I have never gone full out and done something like this story. It holds for me a new commitment towards writing my own voice and exploring humanity for its best and worse qualities. When you read this story, notice the imperfections in my characters; their fears and doubts, their hopes and beliefs. Human beings are not two dimensional, where gay = good and straight = bad. People don't just hate out of nowhere, nor do they love without exception due to nothing. I want to create a story based on a world of hopes and dreams, but filled with misguided beliefs and hidden truths. I have also begun a journey in this story on the concept of "Life", not just based on the biological processes of living, but the actual influence of living. In the tradition of Science Fiction, I am taking up a challenge against mankind's perceptions and prejudices, but not against merely a race, religion, or identifiable group of people alone, I am challenging the very notion of "life" itself through the perspective of the GLBTQ community. Even on the Soapbox, I rarely see this issue talked about, nor even addressed by liberal adherents or conservatives adherents, which adds to the poignancy of the issues. Hope readers enjoy it for all its pleasures and disturbing realities.
  23. A Dreamer Without A Dream By W.L If Life is a dream, how can the dreamer live without a dream? How many hours? How many days? How many years? At first, I tried to keep track of time with the number of daily visits by Brian, then he stopped coming. I tried to figure it out with the maintenance guys, who come by every week, then they stopped coming. I can’t remember much, probably because the human brain was never meant to remember things over a hundred years without losing o
  24. Memories define our lives, but can life define memories?
