GA is not alone with unfinished stories. There are an abundance of unfinished stories on other story sites. One long running story has not had an update in almost 4 years. The author experienced some RL difficulties and has disappeared. No one has heard of or from him in that time. I just wish, if an author is unable to finish a story he/or she, for what ever reason, (other than death) (lost of plot or interest, unruly characters or other) would at least attempt to do one last chapter, or epilogue, to close out some of the plot threads or at at least a note to let the readers know that they are unable to continue. The last comment is just one or my feelings about incomplete or unfinished stories.

More Windows 10 from MTV News.... "Imagine if your parents, without even asking for it, automatically received an email detailing every website you’d visited, what you searched for, and what apps you used on a weekly basis — even if you cleared your history or browsed anonymously It seems this is a real-life feature that’s automatically enabled for Windows 10 users who register with “family” accounts, which prompted one dad to call out the “creepy-ass email” he wasn’t expecting to receive from Microsoft, saying, “I don’t want this. I have no desire to spy on my boy,” and warning teens, “If you have Windows 10 now, your parents might be getting the same kind of report I did. Don’t assume your own computer has your back.”"

Thanks for this. I will check it out.

No need to apologize. I suppose that since it seems that there is an ever increasing number of people questioning even the existence of God, they would have to come up with some other mystical way for the translations to have taken place. Of course that begs the question... What happened to the seer stone? Was it the stone that Moroni took up to heaven and not the golden plates which were never on earth to begin with?

It is going to be an interesting story. What I know about the Mormon religion is from an insatiable curiosity about many things . The one thing I wonder about is the "Book of Mormon", which is, as I understand it, the Mormon Bible. Not the book itself, but it's origins. As the story goes Joseph Smith transcribed the book from gold plates buried by Moroni and found by Smith, but I've not read or heard anything about what happened to the plates after Smith finished his translations.

I don't remember where I found this, but do remember I was a young teen and it kind of spoke to me... "What another would have done as well as you, do not do it. What another would have said as well as you, do not say it; written as well, do not write it. Be faithful to that which exists nowhere but in yourself ---- and thus make yourself indispensable."

Because of the Mormons beliefs in family, they have the most comprehensive genealogical library in the world which is a boon for people doing genealogical research. The amount of data in the library can be simply overwhelming. I spent about a week, a number of years ago, in the library in Salt Lake City doing some research on my family tree. I also remember that missionaries were referred to as Elder 'name' in the gay themed 2003 movie "Latter Days".

Damn! I don't recall who said, "expect the unexpected", but Cynus has sure mastered the concept. I have found it in places in all of his stories. I will patiently await the next installment of Silas's story. Well... maybe not so patiently, but I refuse to nag. It will happen when it happens and not a second before. Thank you Cyrus for a great story. Be well.

ARRRRRRG! Watch your tongue!

Maybe Cynus will find his muse and continue the story of Silas in "The Navigator: Book 2". One can only hope.

Just my opinion: Adam is the one who gets shot before Adelaide takes Higgins down.

I do not really believe that there is such a thing as an ideal chapter length. As James mentioned, it can be a matter of style for each author. Also to me it is depend on the needs of the story an the story characters. As has been mentioned somewhere, "The characters write the story, the author simply puts it on paper." So it .at least to me, only makes sense that there can be chapters of varying length in a story depending on the needs of the story and the characters. It;s only my opinion.

Myr is right, it was difficult to find quality gay fiction way back when. Hard to believe that I've been around the forum for 11 years. Didn't join right at the beginning and I really don't remember why (even though I was there), but I have always been glad that I eventually did. GA has always been a source for a 'good' read. Myr did the world of gay fiction a BIG service when he started GA.
