Yeah I have that feeling as well. I just hope that this does not start like 1968 or Man in Motion with the main couple broken up again. It would be nice to have Robbie and Brad together. I mean in the next story they will definitely have conflict like every other couple but it would be nice if the next installment in this world did not start with Robbie and Brad broken up or hating each other. To Mark, a great and fabulous story. I am so glad that I stuck this story out to the end and saw them together. I love this series and the ups and downs that it has but at the same time it is heart breaking to see the couples break up and get back together as they do. I am also very glad to see that Robbie and Brad both ended up as HIV- and I do hope that Robbie gets to have his own child with Jeanne. I would like to see more about Max and Lark and Claire and Jack to in the next series because it is sad to see so little of them.

I know I know, I was wrong. I just wonder if Max or Neil or any of these other characters will be coming back. I also wonder how many chapters this story will have in total. It always seemed like in Confessions, and The Land Whore that all these characters that were only in the beginning of the story kept coming back to haunt or to reinvigorate the couples in those stories. I just wonder if the same thing will happen here. It did not happen as much in Be Rad and then at the beginning of this story we finally saw Lark again, and I kinda miss that. I am glad that they have not come back to cause problems for Robbie and Brad but I do miss this sort of OMG moment of having this character back in their lives. PS Kjames, I think Sir Galahad the pure was referring to me

I concur, I just hope that it is posted soon...very soon...like in the next 5 mins maybe?

The only reason I said Max was because it is Brad's birthday and he could have come as just a surprise but I am not sure. I just think it is odd that Robbie would get so mad over Marcel when he has let him watch before. I think his anger might be more warranted if it was Max then if it was Marcel. Either way I do hope that he forgives Brad because that is what Brad deserves after putting up with Neil and all of the deception that Robbie put him through with that ordeal.

I immediately thought the interloper was Marcel as well only because he was watching. However, as I thought about it a little more my mind said that it seemed to obvious and another name came into my mind, Max. The way that Robbie reacted and was so angry about the fact that Brad had sex with someone else makes me think that it was Max. As to what Robbie is up to I have been consistently bothered by that. I have been thinking he has been sneaking around and cheating and maybe that is a cause for his anger at Brad when he catches him with someone else. I also wonder if maybe he has been trying to build or arrange something special for Brad's birthday. I am not sure which it is but I really do hope that it is not Robbie cheating on him or going to someone to fist him. Though if he was getting fisted I think Brad would have noticed Robbie getting loose in the ass area again. I think Robbie and Brad are going to be fine together and get back together and love each other. This can be Brad's brithday present again, last time he got forgiven for Marc and this time I think he should get forgiven again. Though to be honest at this point in time knowing how drunk Brad was from his birthday I have to wonder why Robbie is so mad. I mean its obvious that Brad is confused and does not know what is going on or who he was with. I have to think they will work this out but I see therapy or something in the near future for both of them.

I voted for one of Robbie's cousins because none of the other people make any logical sense. I dont see how it could be anyone other then one of the cousins but I know that a twist is bound to happen. Ace makes some sense but I dont see how he could have sex with Bitty knowing about all her problems and such. Greg makes no sense because he said in The Land Whore that he was 100% totally gay. I dont think Jim Crampton would be that stupid. Frank is a maybe but I just can not really see him having sex with Bitty when he is with Isidore. If it was Jack I feel that him and Claire would be over and I do not think that after having to have Claire do one abortion and how he just asked JP for Claire's hand that he could possibly be the father. I assume that Rich is JP's nephew from Jim but I do not remember him otherwise but I think he is a possibility but again the only possible option in my mind is one of Robbie's cousins because all the other options seem so illogical and out of the ordinary that they would only be used for shock value and not in the character of each character. The other questions seemed much easier to me. I think the baby will be healthy in general. The worst I see is the baby being born addicted to a drug but I do not think there would be any other deformities or birth problems. I also think it will be a girl, I am not sure why but something tells me it will be a girl. I hope that this baby and Darius can help to keep Robbie and Brad together though, it was so hard on Jeff that I worry that it might be an issue for Robbie but at the same time with the progress he is showing in therapy and the seeming indications that he is going to be headed towards a healthy lifestyle I really think that Robbie and Brad will be happy together and in love. I just hope that Brad is not the new JP in that he will always be unlucky in love.

I have to agree with Conner and Sir_Galahad the Mouse and JP coupling came out of no where for me but I am so glad they are together. It has been hard to read all of the other stories and see JP always seem to be so unlucky in love and I am very glad to see that JP wont be lonely in his life just because of his HIV. It does scare me though knowing still today that people who are HIV positive are requested to wear condoms because two partners may have different strains of the virus. I do hope that JP and Mouse are happy. I am glad that Robbie working through his problems, he is so disappointed about not being able to fist but I think overtime he will realize that it is not necessary for him to feel the love from Brad and the vulnerability. I do still hope that those two end up together as a couple forever but not sure if that will happen. Scares me and lord knows I will cry like a baby who is getting a shot or spanked if they break up but I do hope that they stay together.

I really hope you are right Sir Galahad. I really like the two of them together. Gives me hope that in the future I will find something similar

I just finished reading Chapter 9 and again I am truly impressed but in reading this chapter, I have looked at what I see is the beginning of the end of Brad and Robbie. I do not know why it is, but I read this chapter and all I can think is about Jeff and how important the drugs were to him. The fisting is the same thing, and its not making Brad happy. He is pretending just like JP did, unless somehow the therapy works better for Robbie then it did for Jeff, I think we are seeing a beautiful relationship fall apart. I see Max and Brad together but I do not think that is how it should go. I want Robbie to get better and for him and Brad to be happy but I just can not see it in their future. It is still cloudy but I think that like Jeff, Robbie is going to become too addicted to the feeling that Brad is giving him and if Brad stops or becomes frustrated with it, he will go out seeking this feeling from others. I do not like this, and I am solidified in my hatred for Jake now, but I am so terribly worried about Robbie and Brad and I just fear it won't work out this time I hate this turn but I still want to read on.

Mark I just want to say I love you with all of my heart haha. I am literally fighting back tears from reading Chapter 8 of Man in Motion. I can go to sleep peacefully and happy and not feel this need to know if Robbie and Brad are going to be ok. I know more bumps are going to happen on the road in the future, I even think that Brad and Robbie will run in to Neil again and very much like Jake have to help him even despite all of their anger towards him. I am so grateful for your story. As to the fisting it is clear from this chapter that you really are meticulous about your research. I have never tried fisting, and still do not have a desire too but this gave me an entirely new perspective into that kink that I have never seen or thought about. I just again want to thank you for all the love and care you put into this story and your characters. You are doing a fantastic job and I applaud you. I would even buy these books in a store if they would sell them that outside of Adult Stores that is. Mark Arbour

Yeah I know, I am totally acting like Neil and demanding something from Mark lol. I really just am so hyped up and hooked on Mark's writing. I know I have said it before but it says a lot about an author when you can not put down his book or can not wait to read the next chapter. When I first started reading Be Rad, there were something like 25 chapters, I read them all in one sitting in one night. I did not sleep that night, I just stayed up and read the entire story up to that point then went to class and came back to find a new chapter posted. Even though I was dead tired and ready to just fall asleep at that point I could not sleep until I read the next chapter. This is how I feel about Man in Motion, but the only problem is that I started reading it too early and there are not enough chapters up to feed my addiction haha. I have read and understand the process and I do not want to pressure any of the people in the process to work beyond their means but at the same time I just need to know before I go insane. I feel the need to chill out but when a story gets my blood rushing and my adrenaline pumping it is all I can to not post and demand for more. It has been a long time since a story has had me so enthused like Mark's stories. I just hope that when Chapter 8 ends I can feel happy and ok and be able to wait until Chapters 9 and 10 come out but this cliff hanger ending has me on the edge as well and I am ready to jump just to find out the ending. Off Topic but I do not think I can write a short post...

I need Chapter 8 now. I do not mean tomorrow, I mean tonight this very minute. I can not wait until tomorrow to find out who Robbie chooses. I love that you have written a story that so has enthralled me and has me on the edge of my seat but I CAN NOT wait until next week to find out if Robbie chooses Neil or Brad. I can not wait to find out. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tell me. I am begging on hands and knees ready to be fisted if necessary lol I love this story and you as a writer but I can not wait to find out who Robbie chooses and I hope it is the right decision.

I was thinking the same thing about Robbie becoming Jeff 2.0 as well. I really hope that is not going to happen. I mean I can see there being more bumps in the road along the way between Brad and Robbie being back together officially but I just hope that at the end of Chapter 8 or whenever the end of the Graduation chapter is that Robbie and Brad are back together, things will be rough and they will not be perfectly back together but I will not be able to stand the character of Robbie if he stays with Neil, he will deserve whatever disease or horrific death comes his way. While that statement is harsh, Robbie is going to piss me off worse than Jake did if he chooses that little bastard Neil over Brad. I know this is Mark's story to tell and we have no influence over what is the ultimate story to come but I can not see how he could give Robbie to us in Be Rad as the gift for killing off Jeff and then turn around and kill Robbie in Man in Motion or have him do something so stupid as to choose Neil over Brad. But I am not going to judge until the new chapters come out, which I have to say I am begging and pleading that they come out tomorrow or the next day so that I do not feel like my hair will fall out. I am going prematurely grey as it is, I do not need to go bald as well lol.

For me Chapter 6 is such a frustrating chapter. As I have posted before I really want Brad and Robbie together but in these last couple of chapters I ahve become more and more frustrated with Robbie and how he has been treating Brad. I love Brad and his character and its part of him being the narrator that makes him more easy to love because we know his thoughts and what is going on with him. I however hate Neil and can not stand his character. I do not care what Robbie's fetish is, Neil is not AT ALL worth it. He is giving up on the best relationship he has ever had in his life and all because of some stupid fetish. I understand fetishes and that they are important to people sexually but to give up without even trying to express the fetish to Brad is just horrible to me. I am so frustrated by Robbie and him deciding to stay with Neil for the weekend instead of coming to see Brad. I either want Robbie to make the right decision and be with Brad or for Robbie to disappear and never come back to California, never be at Escorial. I know that is harsh but I am tired of this roller coaster that Robbie putting Brad through and I just want him gone or together with Brad. I do not know how Max is going to fit into this relationship or how he will change the relationship but I want Robbie to disappear like Jake at this point but this is me being frustrated over this last chapter. I will say that Mark you are amazing and I love your writing skills and stories and I do not want you to take this message as against you or the story. I love this story but right now I am just so frustrated that we are at Chapter 6 and not on Chapter 20 or something. I want to know how things will end up so that I can not have to get so angry or upset at the characters. This is a testament to your skills Mark and how well you write the characters and the story. It has me so involved that I get truly angry, happy, sad and excited about the whole situation. Thank so much Mark for writing these stories and I just wanted to get all of this rant out and hopefully get some replies Thanks in advance to those who read the entire post and for those who respond.

I can not say that I am surprised by the fact that Robbie and Brad broke up but at the same time it broke my heart. I read that they broke up because Robbie found someone new and my heart just fell right to my stomach. I want them back together but I do wonder if Brad will fall for Max and therefore not want Robbie back. I do want Brad to be happy and I want Robbie to be happy as well but you can tell from both of them and their actions that they want to get back together. I am a romantic at heart and while I want to think that random sex is hot and that I would love for Brad to be promiscuous and go and have fun, while being safe of course, but all I really want is to have Robbie and Brad back together. I think that is what will happen in the long run but it scares me that they are not together. I want life to be perfect and for couples to be happy. I know life is not perfect and no one is eternally happy but it is nice to think. I do want to say that I LOVED Be Rad and I am so glad that Mark you are continuing this story. I love that we get to see more of Brad and his story and how he has and will continue to grow but every time he talks about Robbie I just want to cry. The sex in the story is not as good for me when it comes to Brad and Robbie because they are not together, the fact that the two of them are not as happy with their sex because they are not together makes me sad as well. I do love that you write so fast Mark and I only wish I could start reading this story like I did Be Rad, when it was almost all done so that I would not have to anguish and stifle my heart inbetween chapters. Please keep up the fantastic work Mark and I do love all of your work. Be rad is my favorite so far but Man In Motion is looking to be just as good. Good luck with the upcoming works and much love.
