Stephen didn't concentrate on his Maths and Comp Sci lectures that afternoon. He was remembering every detail of that eventful lunchtime while surreptitiously rubbing his cock through his jeans under the lecture hall table. The memory of the size, beauty and velvet softness of that first cock competed with the guilty pleasure of submitting to the anonymous second guy and his rough command for Stephen to stay on his knees and keep sucking. Stephen managed to suppress a moan that nearly escaped as

This thread made me go back and check my own in progress story - turns out although I swear like a trooper in real life my 'slightly autobiographical' main character has managed a total of 7 swear words out of a total of 40,000, and all of them were muttered under his breath or said internally. Maybe I am a prude after all.

Hi Lisa, Thanks for the review....it's set in mid 1980s.... does that count as decades ago for you? Yes... unfortunately in NZ it was illegal until 1985 - There hadn't been a prosecution for years (decades?) before that, which meant that most (all?) universityies had a GLBT club of some description - and their main motivation was getting the outdated law changed. I never thought that Peggy would come across as a whore. I was aiming for horny teenager but none-the-less a nice girl. I seem to have gone too far with that. Chapter 5 is being written. Thanks for the feedback.

It seems that Mike Arram is working his way through the Peacher saga stories from CRVBoy and putting them up on AwesomeDude I've read them all more than once - now if only they were available as epubs...

The days immediately after Peggy's departure were difficult in the McLeod household; Stephen had returned from seeing Peggy off at the airport struggling to hold back his tears. Usually he would have sought the company of David, who would have commiserated with him and helped to cheer him up. But David and he hadn't talked since that sexually charged evening on the beach, and Stephen was worried that his sexual advances had ruined his only real friendship. Over the two weeks since that fatef

Stephen McLeod, an early Computer Science Geek passes from High School to University in the 1980s, during an hysterical, venomous and lengthy battle to reform New Zealand's archaic laws against male homosexuality. Paradoxically, the political battle makes it both easier and harder for a young man to come out and make his way in gay society that is finally emerging from the shadows.

The morning after the leavers ball, Stephen was woken by his mother, Alice McLeod. "Wakey!! Wakey!! You still have one final half-day of school." She stood in the doorway of her son's bedroom. "I know!!! I Know!!! What a drag. It's not as if I'm getting any prizes. I don't know why I should go." Stephen was awake, he was just luxuriating in bed for a few more minutes. "Because you have to pick up your final school report", she answered his question. "Well that's even more

James McLeod's moving day was something of a trial for his young brother Stephen: His father Neil had probably caught him wanking off in bed when he had stuck his head round his son's bedroom door. "Come on. Wakey wakey. We've got to get your brother moved today". Stephen snatched his hand away from his cock - leaving a telltale tent in the blankets. "Okay! Okay! I'll be there in a minute". "Whew that was close!!!" Stephen mumbled to himself as he got out of bed and waved his ha

"Hey... are you two going to stay in there all afternoon or what?" asked Stephen McLeod as he barged into his older brother James' bedroom unannounced. As soon as he did it, Stephen realised he should have knocked. James' friend Andrew was sitting on the bed, his jeans down round his ankles, a porn magazine open to the center-fold, stroking his hard cock. Andrew was staring at James who was standing next to his friend, rubbing his own hard cock through his jeans. If he had wanted

well like I said in responses to reviews - I wanted to attempt a little bit of 1980s New Zealand realism, and bust a few stereotypes: Hero always knew he was gay and is totally accepting of that fact from the age of about 11. My experience was that deep down I knew from when 14 or so, but I spent until I was about 23 not wanting to be gay, fooling around with women trying to be straight, and sneaking off to do what I really wanted to do with guys in various hookups. I wanted Stephen to have a little bit of that. Parents appear in gay romance in only two roles: Redneck parent(s) throw gay teenage sone out of house & home (with or without violence) "Yes dear we always knew you were gay" I wanted Stephen's parents to be a little less cardboard cutout, and trying to figure out if Stephen is or isn't just as much as Stephen. [*]Hero lusts after best friend who turns out to have been jerking off for years lusting after our hero. Alright I'll admit to having fallen for this one, but I at least wanted to make it a damn sight harder for our hero to end up in bed with his best friend. Hope you're all enjoying it anyway. Stuart

After a bit of a delay - chapter 3 has arrived (Geek Grows Up) and chapter 4 is mostly written. I'm not too happy with it yet, so it might be a while before it arrives. Some episodes are autobiographical - most are what I wanted to happen next. Stuey (from NZ)

Well I'm even more hooked now. But I'm left reviewing my own attempts at writing, and wonder will I ever be that good? How long have you been writing? The quality of this story make me think (kind of hope) that you've been writing for years. How have you managed to study the trials & tribulations of teenagers 'figuring things out' so closely without being arrested for stalking?

A Geek Grows Up I write plenty of technical stuff for work. But this is my first go at writing any kind of fiction. It's been knocking around in my head for a year or so; which means I've got an outline for 8 or 9 chapters worked out. If there's discussion - I'll tell you more.

I was hooked by chapter 2 - and chapter 3 has me begging for more. As I said in my review, Jake's Social Ineptness is so spot on. (I Soooo recognize my self at 16, 17 & 18). Well here's hoping Chloe get's Ry. The subtlety with which the Chloe & Ry thing was introduced is outstanding. We already know Jake gets someone -we're all hoping it's Shane. You've got us caring about these people - that's the only mark of success you need. Writing of this quality is why I'm here at GA.

I also started out with Nifty - Didn't we all?? I remember "Dorm Encounters" and "The Road Home". Now I use AwesomeDude's best-of-nifty and I just joined GA. So far I'm kind of confused with the preponderance of "I don't do sex in my stories" To me the challenge is to write good sex scenes, into a decent story, so that the sex contributes to plot and/or character development. An awful lot of comments here seem to say "sex scenes are bad/icky/creepy and they don't/can't contribute to plot or character development.
