True, but it makes us fans of the idea that a Rockstar and a regular gay guy can get-together premise for LTMP happier if Cody would be Eric's boyfriend. Beside, it is cute and intriguing to see them together.

Now here is a minor point, who wants to take the bet that Chase and Brandon are not going to have an uneventful stag party and wedding. Feels like some one wants to play "volcano" or "earthquake", which can set off a volcano if it stikes close enough. Eric needs to find a guy soon or else CJ might just do a virgin sacrifice (well, he is not exactly a virgin!) Another thing to consider is where does Jim want to get married? I know we look at the boys' story a lot, but the minor characters are usually the keys to bigger plots later on.

HAHA! I thought you were gonna take your needed rest CJ, but either case wonderful chapter and I cannot wait to read the rest of it. For JT, I think ex-KGB would be very likely for his background considering Scar's background. Even if he does not become the main villain, which is still possible at this point, his experience will be invaluable in the future chapters. He does not want people to know about his past, but he is quite happy to retire on his farm without a care in the world, so I do not think he wants world domination. Here is something else that might be interesting to look at; we never hear anything about Brandon's family. Yes, we know they do not accept him just like Chase's dad, but there must be more. Background wise, the story is still wide open and anyone can be a villain or hero. By the way, I am grateful that you opened up Eric to new experiences, hehe! Male strippers, hmm, maybe he will find a nice down on his luck guy that interviews for the position and ends up his new paramour. Think about the headlines on that, "Bassist in Famed Rock Band Dating Male-Stripper" Enquirer eat you heart out! You introduce the title in the first chapter, interesting. You are moving faster than before; I wonder what other meaning that has.

Time to bring back this dead thread to speculate on the sequel to the amazing Let the music play story. We know not the fate of Scar after his death or what plans he might still have. Remember he still has $5 million dollars in the bank, so he could theoretically get back on top again. Lump and the Shadows, where will they go and how can Lump deal with life post-rehab and trying to figure out how to live without fearing gay people or even more interestingly if he might indulge in it on occasion. Then we have our own instinct, how changed is Helen? What ever happened to Jim? Brandon and Chase wedding plans going good? Can Jon, Eric, and Chase mend fences with the parents ever? Lastly, Fans can not forget about Eric's need for Tequila and sex. Will this party animal ever calm down? Will he settle down with one guy or girl? (I know Cody may have been a one time thing, but I want Eric with him) or Will he end up like Brian from Queer as folk (US version) and love without settling down? (still am not satisfied with that ending after finishing that show a few weeks ago) The future is bright and look free from nuclear explosions.................... PS. Please don't neuter or spade your Goats, they are warm and fun, Right CJ! :2hands:

Do I smell a Bond villain in the making? HEHE! Well, what can Scar do now after his failure? If CJ does not go back and use nukes again, then the only other threat big enough would be biological weapons. However, if it was me I would choose something a little more interesting to play around with: not a weapon that will kill people per se, but something that can cause the destruction of human civilization if my demands are not met *(Yep, Bond moment). While still technologically feasible with what we have today and what people are worried about behind every action?

Thank you for giving us a story, where "Hope springs eternal" really does come true! You have crafted a marvelous tale with exciting characters and amazing backgrounds. By the way, will you ever go back to Australia and see how bad the mess is? :nuke: :nuke: :nuke: :nuke: A benefit concert would be wonderful over there for a sequel, just a speculation Congratulation to Chase and Brandon, may you alway love and cherish one another until death do you......well I hope never........part.

Hmmm....You are right! CJ has been a naughty boy again with misdirection. We never hear them say Helen is dead.

As I said: Please! Give Eric a boyfriend! <on my hands and knees with a hidden dagger behind my back for security, hehe>

Fitting end for bad rubbish! Yet, we knew some one must die as well on our side, Finally, I saw it coming through my speculations, Finally, Please give Eric a boyfriend soon! (I have said a million times and I know shadowgod agrees, hehe)

Maybe Brandon can take over managing the Band; actually, there have been hints at it for a while now that he would make a good band manager. Helen always compliments him on his keen sense of what is right for the band and his sense of fashion sense. Remember the first time he and Chase went out to his apartment and he forced chase to wear sun glasses and a cap. He also knows how to get attention pretty well. CJ were you hinting at Brandon's ascension to Band Manager all along I wonder or is that another story in the distant future.

Yep, he is saved! Dimitri has his and War is brewing............ I sense a dkstories storyline coming; I mean, the guy started world war III for god sakes, the least CJ could do is start a small regional conflict. From a fan of both authors, I would love to see a crossover between you two or corroboration, since both of you have highly technical storytelling techniques and your use of atomic weapons are well known. By the way, here is to Jerry!

Don't worry, its just an editing thing for the profile you set, your actual age is shown with your date of birth, but your profile has a separate age from when you created the account. So, you have been here for a year and a half by my assumption.

Glad to hear that Brandon has a chance at life, but Dimitri will be alive, too. I want Dimitri to be tortured for information for some reason; it just feels right to me for what he has done to Chase and all the people he killed and tried to kill.

Dan's stories are less cliffhanger oriented and more action/thriller oriented. Do over series is my favorite out of all the stories (sorry CJ, I love let the music play, but I have spent four lifetimes loving Davey and Brian). I will tell you guys one thing though, when Dan does want to do a cliffhanger, you will go nuts thinking what he will do next. Do over has a few, so does Do over redux and Doing it right, but Let's do it has the most of them all.

Amazing, I can not wait to see how you will get one of our favorite protagonists from death? By the way, I can not wait for chapter 46. PS. Kill Dimitri Painfully!

Thank you very much for the happy birthday notes and Graeme, we may have differences in opinion, but I respect you immensely. Well, it's not my birthday yet; I am still legally a minor in some rights, so guys do not think about any thing bad yet.

sounds like a good title, "blood and sacrifice"; knowing your penchant for in-bedding hints in titles, who's blood will be spilt and who will be sacrificed? CJ, the producers of 24 need some one like you for the next season, who else can establish a high tension plot with cliffhangers every other chapter.

Well, the legion of doom could have been made stronger, but the balance between good and evil should always slide a bit more to the good guys. Back to the story, I get a feeling that the coup will not go as planned and it might ultimately fail. I think Scar would escape from South America at some point. Dimitri is a dead duck (not goat!); he needs to die soon.

Actually, I was implying actually getting them together. I want Eric to fall for a guy.

if you want to leave the blame on Shadowgod, you got to include a character from his stories; maybe get him involved in a relationship with one of your characters, who's a little bicarious, hehe (Sorry for the plug; just a fan's dream) Out of all the guys here, I really don't think you are a goat. You seem too sheepish for that!

Oh CJ is the king of cliffhangers! It's a good title CJ, look at it this way, you build up your stories and keep the intensity building. Your cliffhangers might get resolved, but things keep building. By the way, life and death cliffhanger count; look at it this way, chapter 44 life and death count could really be over 4-5 million people, so it counts as a cliffhanger too.

I really like the chapter and can not wait to see that scumbag finally get his! Poor Chase & Brandon, after everything is done and settled those two should just come out and get married. California has made it legal at least for now, go boys and do it. As for our Bassist and the remainder of the band,

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Good cliffhanger, but it now makes me think this is going to be a bloodbath. CJ, Don't you dare!

I just got a plot idea, why don't Dimitri try a terrorist tactic, drive the car with high explosive directly towards the house, then he could detonate and kill everyone? It works for Palestinians, Iraqis, and Afghans, so why not poor little Dimitri. It would be a lot easier and smarter to do that than to go in with everyone knowing who you are with guns blazing; even if you have an AK-47 and grenades. At the end, you will die either way, so why die in the most efficient military manner and take out as many as you can. The kGB was supposed to train their agents to think like that.

This is going to be fun, but Dimitri
