Heya Ching, glad to hear from you. I'm glad that you're enjoying the story so far. I've got a friend like that as well. I can't take credit for the definition of Soul-mate though, I have to attribute that to Websters. I'm glad you're a fan of my work and I look forward to hearing from you on future chapters. best, Owl

Hey Terry, nice to see you. I'm glad that you liked the first chapter. I can't confirm or deny your suspicions on Alex. You will find out though as the story goes on i assure you. I hope that you'll stick around to find out. Best Owl

Hey KC, good to hear from you. I'm glad that you enjoyed the first installment of the story. I think you'll like how the story develops. Since this story is complete I'll be posting it more regularly. Best, Owl

Jeremy was only six when he met his ten year old cousin Alex on Friday during the summer. His uncle, his wife, and his cousin had come to visit one summer for a week. “Jeremy come here, your uncle and aunt are here.” His mother called to him from the back porch. Jeremy scrambled up from his position in the sandbox and after dusting himself off he ambled over to the small group of people standing on the back porch. Jeremy had only met his uncle once, a long time ago, and barely remembered h

Soulmate, noun, a person with whom one has a strong affinity, shared values and tastes, and often a romantic bond. Most people search their entire lives for theirs. Alex and Jeremy found theirs before they even knew what love and commitment is all about.

Lol no I'm not interested in Furry (at least not in that sense of the word lol) At least not to participate. Now going and possibly being able to interview a few people on what attracts them to the culture could be cool as I am always interested in learning about people and behavior and what not. No I created the thread more for a bit of research and bit of fun. Vampires are HUGE right now but it seems that Werewolves are only factoring in as a secondary characters/themes. If I ever get out to Cali we can go to a Fur Con together lol. I'm brash enough to ask them to pose for you lol,Plus I can interview folks.

I got into this discussion with one of my co-workers last weekend after watching The Howling Two: Your sister is a werewolf (Whoever wrote/made that movie had to have had some bestiality issues). His opinion fell between the anthro and the beastly forms and actually brought to mind a good point that I hadn't considered. He mentioned how some people had issues with the Twilight wolves because they were like the size of cars but he was actually in favor of it, at least to an extent. His point was that it wouldn't make sense to take a six foot tall, two hundred and some pound guy and reduce it to a five foot long and eighty pound (I'm averaging from wikipedia) wolf. I've never thought about it that way but it does make sense.

I think that the reason most people would consider a werewolf to be evil would be because of the misconceptions about wolves and other similar animals that were prevalent when the werewolf myth first came around. Wolves were considered to be vicious and indiscriminate killers, a creature that would kill you as soon as look at you. Logically a creature that was part man and part beast would follow the same line. It may be childish but I've always thought of the Werewolf as a type a guardian figure. Maybe it's because of my own natural love for wolves and my own tree huger tendencies lol.

Hello everyone. As anyone who have read my work knows I'm behind and my posting habit have become even worse than they were before. I can offer no concrete reasons for this, it's true that things have not been the most ideal for me or my family the last year but because a few messages and conversations that I've had recently that I've allowed the issues too much leeway. I'm working as hard and fast as I can to get things set on a better track, one that I intend to keep up with at all costs. Coming to GA and sharing my work has been one of the best experiences of my life and I'm sorry if I have let any of my reader's down. Once again I am sorry for all the delays and I look forward to trying to get back into the community. best, Owl

If you think about it, like REALLY think about it's actually kind of devious. The article was great though, funny yet thought provoking at the same time.

Ok does anyone else think that this commercial boarders on soft core porn...not that it's a bad thing. I've never worn the brand, mostly because I couldn't afford it. I'm more of a Wrangler and Faded glory kind of guy. The commercial was nice though, innovated, boundary pushing, edgy; which is probably just what they were going for. Overall, i approve.

Very good idea Traveller, I've consider doing just that a couple of times. i figured from the second I got my email that the site had been hacked, either that or there was some disgruntled Admin out there screwing around lol. I'm not worried about my personal info being released. Some fo my family doesn't know I'm gay but that's due more to the fact that my family are a bunch of gossip whores than out of any kind of fear. As for my professional life...that's funny all of my co workers know I'm gay and they actually love me for it, plus my boss know and their LGBT (out of respect I'm not naming genders or preferences of said person. Like Jamessavik's cat said...Bring it on Bro....but seriously consider just what kind of crap you'll be in for if you think you can scare me. I'm really glad that the site could be restored, it would be a HUGE freaking loss if this place went bye bye. This site is like an oasis is the desert man. A place where we can come together and just share the fruits of our labor and passions but connected and have a feeling of acceptance and solidarity. Something a lot of folks can get in their off net lives. Best yall, Nightowl

Hello Yall, This might be a stupid thing to use as my first Forum thread (at least I think it's the first one I've made...I should probably check on that) but I'm going to do it anyway as it's a conversation that I've been having with some people I know,(I wouldn't call them friends), and I was hoping to get a broader bit of information. This is part research and part plain curiosity but I'm wonder where people stand on werewolf forms. If you boil it down there are three basic forms. Anthropomorphic Werewolves. Werewolves with an over all wolfish appearance but with a distinctly human shape, the ability to walk on it's hind legs, clawed fingers instead of front paws and often no tail. Think of werewolves from the movies Van Helsing and Cursed. Beastly Werewolves. These werewolves usually look mostly like your normal wolf, sometimes larger (Think Twilight Werewolf) but more often look like a plain wolf, possibly carrying over its human hair and eye color into wolf form. Furry Human (as I don't know the actual or appropriate term). These werewolves are a throw back to the Wolfman movies where the Werewolf usually just looks like an exceptionally hairy person with clawed fingers. Personally I'm partial to the first two categories myself, more so the second one than the first. I've never meshed with the portrayal of werewolves in the 'evil' monster role, even though that is what the werewolf was in original mythology. Even though I can see the benefits of the Anthro form I think it's more of an attempt to make the werewolf seem more frightening and overall more imposing. After all who wouldn't wet themselves if they came face to face with a six feet tall human/wolf creature. I know I probably sound pretty geeky but I'd really like to hear some opinions on this. best yall Nightowl88

See I had this in mind to post as well but i completely forgot about it. The story has been floating around for sometime I believe. I don't know whether or not it's real/true but it does raise some interesting questions. If it is true though it would seriously screw with the Nature vs. Nurture debate. If something like a stroke could change one's sexual orientation which theory would be correct or would they both be?

Lisa my love, always, ALWAYS a pleasure to see your name int he review box. The 'I love you' was taboo in this chapter because I fudged up in the writing. I omitted the part about David saying I love you at the river from Billy's memory so it made it seem taboo here. It was my fault. Sam's meddling is irritating, amongst other things, but Sam can't help but be over protective. Look at it from her POV. For the longest time, by her own admission, she was Billy's one and only confidant. She was there through Seth leaving, through Billy's cutting, through the issues caused by Billy's father. Same has seen Billy at his worst and now that she sees he is doing better she doesn't want him to go back to that place. It doesn't matter that its because of David that he is doing better...she only sees the bad that can happen after David is gone. You're right though it would be torture for the two of them not being able to be with each other when they are literally forced to be with each other everyday. Contact with Seth, or the lack there of, is something that I haven't explained in the story, just yet at least. I will however drop a little info on it here. First off the Templeton house is low tech in the extreme. No computer, no internet so no IM or Skype. A phone and TV are about all they have. As for phone calls, Seth did call once but the aftermath turned out bad for Billy,(once again we'll cover this later), Annie bows down to this rule in order to protect Billy. She fears what her husband will do to Billy if he gets too angry. Strength has a way of bowing to fear. William does need to be brought down a few pegs and it will happen, I promise...at some point in time. I'm glad you enjoyed Lisa, I'll do my best to get the next chapter out sooner. I do hope they find a way for Billy to stick around as well though. best, Night.

Hey BDog, I'm glad that it was up to snuff, even after such a long wait. I'll do my best to get my stuff out sooner. best Owl

Heya John, good to see you. It may be hard to top but I'm glad that you tried, I love hearing from people who have read my stories. It makes it feel like it's worth the time I put into it. I'm sorry that my work has been so missed, I do write as often as I can and I'm working on getting chapters out faster. It was always a plan on mine to get David to let Billy and Annie use his phone to contact Seth but I had to find a way to re-introduce the idea into the story. The 'I love you' is going to be interesting. Will it work out or will it end up being a tooth pick on a wildfire of pain. Figuring out how to stay, I think that was the first scene that I had ever written for the story, even before the first chapter was written. Now Annie not being a local, that is a pivotal point and something that should be remembered. I can't say anything to the idea of her being distantly related to David's family but it will play a role, eventually. Annie seems to have become a certifiable mystery. I'll say this to those who have speculated on what she is doing, NO ONE has yet to guess the truth about what she is doing/planning. You're welcome John, and thank you for taking the time to review. best Owl

The great and powerful Frosty, it's good to hear from you. I'm glad that the chapter was worth the time it took me to get it out. Sam...maybe I wrote her character too well given that she seems to universally ticks people off. Julian does indeed have his hands full, depending on how far he decides to take the relationship. I hope that I will have the new one out before too long. I'll be working on Max and Josh's new chapter soon and i need to talk to Rush on a few matters. Best Owl.

RICKY!!!! Always a pleasure my good man. It's been awhile since I heard from you. Yes David dropped the L word, again. I'm just hoping he can deal with the can of worms that he's opened back up. So many people wanted to know what Seth would be feeling from Billy's last letter so I figured I drug out the suspense long enough. Mom, I do love having her around, she brings in so much intrigue and curiosity into the story. You are all too right, it is getting close to time for the other shoe to drop. I just wonder how big of a thud it will make when it lands. Best, Owl.

Hello Nikitwinki, good to see. I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter. I like getting people hooked, give's me a bit of a rush lol. (That doesn't make me sound like a crack dealer or anything...) I also love keeping people in the dark, ask Ricky up there he'll tell you, I love to get people speculating. Best Owl

Hey Conner, good to see you again.. I love hearing that someone loves my work. It makes it feel like my time is being well spent. So many people do think Sam is irritating and controlling; and she is. Personally I think it's more of a maternal instinct run amok. Billy does love her though, for some insane reason....heck I'm the writer and I don't even know why he love's her so much lol. Best and thanks again Conner, Owl.

Hey Adamantyne, David does try to appear as the perfectly put together person, doesn't like to show weakness. I thought it would be a good way to show some weakness on his part.

Hello again Adamantyne, Control is usually just an illusion but in this case...well not so much. Fear is a powerful method of control but it only lasts so long as the victim remains afraid. best Nightowl

Hello Adamantyne, Strange, that's a good word for Candace...among several others. Sam...I have no words for how she reacted, if it makes you feel better though we do get an explanation later on. Best, Nightowl

SCORE ONE FOR ME!!!! It's good to see you again Adamantyne; I hope you continue to review. I always enjoy making people speechless, I love it; whether it's good or bad. Best, NightOwl
