ch13: so, now there's a mystery of what happened to Bergland's ship.... that's pretty odd, how it seems to have initiated.

ch1: Matt does not need to be child of any earlier protagonist, does he.... gays born of hetero couples emerge irl all the time. actually, it's pretty much less frequent that a gay is a child of another gay...

but but.... If Robbie really did someone, there are several sorts of reasons why a child is unlikely: * pregnancies do not start that easily. well, assuming that with some likelihood (which is not too high), a pregnancy ensued: * the gurl has had the modern option of abortion. Quite a many teenage pregnancies in those days were ended by abortion. Cause, it really is counter-productive for the gurl's education and such, to have a kid that early in life * ultimately, if there was pregnancy and then not an abortion, with HIGH likelihood these would already have heard a lot about it: the girl's parents and the gurl herself, would have made all sorts of demands, Frank at least would have been much involved... and Robbie too. And the Hayes family there in the podunk country... it simply is not the way of these things to go that nothing is heard, when the pregnant gurl is young... * besides, not all people born to these families can be gay. The portion of gays is relatively small... so, will we have a narrator who is a heterosexual teenage woman .... ))

ch12: well, ultimately the 'last battle' of Georgie's own sea war.... he should receive a promotion for all that, right...

ch11: so there was and soon probably will be sea war, like I predicted but fortunately, the frigate....

my french teacher, once upon a time, stated that french written by me, is better from phonetical view than from the view of correct written spelling. And I agree - I was never too eager about all sorts of useless letters (and which letter would be the correct one...) which are swallowed in speech anyway. After that, I have passed opportunities to actually write french. I am quite happy to limit my efforts, so I rather just read that language...

I thought any individual canadian still does not need to have that other language.... and I have an impression that many Canadians do not actually have a real command of the other, whichever it is.... say, a Canadian monoglot, wanting to make an impression of bilinguality, goes to the stack of dust-gathering books, takes the dictionary out, and laboriously writes a few words in the other language... something like 10 words or less. btw, once upon a time I also studied enough french, to understand at least normal text... and enough of the grammar, to spot the dictionary-based work...

yes, in American language. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dice Canadian language may be a bit different. the overall position of the english language appears to be amorphous. ambiguous. amoeba-like.

no no. There cannot have existed any surviving long-tailed rodents, because they had got utterly annihilated in this ship between the efforts of the dog and the gourmandizing members of the crew. seaman Conner already presented some recipes used for destroying the evidence of the rodent genocide. Rather, I suspect that the very existence of a second die is just a forgery of equipment listings.

something is going to the bottom of the sea. ------- of course the sheer number of a crew of 100 men, is too big, to have the story comment on their sex lives - at all in most cases. Still, wouldn't there be dozens and dozens of seamen buggering one another..... I want them to take a prisoner from Ile de France. So that the crew could have someone for their lusts. speaking about Fitzwilliam, the impression has come through that he would possibly be an enthusiastic fist-f**kee.... ------- a side note: if there were to be a special reference for Paya in the story, what would it be? isn't 'Paye' a plausible French name, for a seaman or somesuch.... or, isn't 'Paya' a plausible name for a native or somesuch... were there not a family called 'Paya'/'Paye' in the Ile de France....

ch10: okay, it's sea war.... and a frigate, eh. intriguing what will happen. btw, is there some myth about Swedes? surely, Swedes are as usually endowed as anyone....

You don't want that? at bottom of a pile or whatever..... But, wouldn't such actually bring forth many appreciated memories... your most pleasant reminiscences. or not? --------------- btw, a funny finding: when perusing a pile of GA stories and a few of other stories, I think I observed that a sheer majority of those gay-story writers tend to describe pretty well, and with seeming personal appreciation, experiences of bottoms in sex scenes. and that a majority does not describe that well or much the experience of topping. Topping roles get much more rarely a genuinely-feeling narrative of the activity and enjoyments...

Of course this is so. It is nice to see a bottom who is proud of being a bottom. Bottoms are necessary for tops.... A horror scenario would be a gay world without bottoms, rather: full of only tops - think about the problems of any top to have satisfying sex, as it'd be more or less difficult to get anyone to do the bottoming... The thing I pointed out, is that some bottoms seem to be ashamed of 'bottomness' For example, to talk about bottoms and/or bottoming, is something which makes them feel bad.

Nice

in that very day, I mentioned bottom only briefly, so that 'endless bantering, repetitive' is just your own reflection, I'd say. Another had mentioned sitting on a cock, so the mention of that as bottom was just a somewhat necessary referring, and nothing for you to get your knickers all.... Of course, another bottom is generally not an interesting one in view of a bottom. It is btw somewhat amusing that some presumably bottoms feel that being bottom, is something shameful, that sort of negative. a bottom, behaving like a mention of that phenomenon is bringing forward the said bottom's problem. a presumably bottom, finding a brief mention of bottom to be such a biggie.... Unfortunate. Perhaps our fellow Paya could try to live with talk about bottoms.

ch9: oh my - the unknown intruder of the so-called cliffie was that one...... looks like I was good at evaluating things as to that guy. Uh, and now they are up to a small naval war.... a siege, presumably?

well, perhaps.... just perhaps.... in the hypothetical situation that you manage to snare George [i know... I know... not easy to snare a fictional character...] you'd be so alluring and so forth, that our mostly-bottom George would kindly enough to conduct as top in that.... btw, that requires quite much.... Firstly, it requires from George: to be willing to do the work of a top... and from you: most tops are selective. They usually are not stirred by low-quality material. So, you really shoud then be a good-looking, interesting, .... did I already mention, good-looking.... Because, much of sexual desire of tops, is heavily dependent on whether the bottom is nice to look at... stirring willingness to penetrate [the looks of the top are not as important to bottoms, for various reasons... ] btw, this thing is as usual reason why older bottoms do not get (much) sex.... whereas older tops may often get...

Like I wrote a tad ago, I was under an impression that you are not a total top.... [which in my perceptions was a 'toppish', a versatile engaged in topping...] Perhaps this data you supplied just now, is one that a re-evaluation is in order. 1) George is mostly a bottom. This comes so clearly through, in these stories. Only occasionally -say, in relatively rare occasions- George has topped. Most of the time, George bottoms. And the stories are pretty well written to express how thoroughly George enjoys being bottom. Quite obviously, a person who would have sex with George, should for the most part be willing to top. something almost non-negotiable. 2) Mark says: for (George), (Mark) would be versatile. Which, obviously, is a change from the usual and prevalent situation of Mark, towards a role which would be needed in consorting with George. That role with the mostly-bottom George, would be the role of topping. 3) ergo, Mark is saying that his own prevalence and usual disposition is to be bottom. And that for the mostly-bottom George, Mark would be willing to change to become at least versatile. 4) as there is a need in this to become a versatile, it means that Mark says he is not (yet) versatile, or at least, does not perceive himself a versatile. Which would mean that Mark would be (more or less) total bottom. addendum A: Mark who writes these stories which so well describe the feelings and perceptions and enjoyments of bottoms, being bottom like concluded above, has as such the personal experiences to draw from, when making the descriptions of bottoming in the stories. Plausibility and genuinity and such, of the narrative, indicates it comes from personal knowledge. This actually independently supports the conclusion that Mark is a bottom. aargh. I am surprised. I did not earlier think him as that bottom... sniff. So much about earlier perceptions. I honestly thought him as some sort of versatile.... but, what do two bottoms do, together? two-pronged dildo? (= double-headed rooster-head as both prongs...) My prediction is that he will yearn yet more after Travers, Calvert and knight Evelyn.... each of them have shown their good competence in making proper love to his arse...

I did not think you, when I mentioned the bottoms on this forum.... However, now that you mention it - I guess (and predict and evaluate) you are not any total top....

umm. There was no actual indication even anywhere that Winkler would be interested in man-man sex..... This should have even an occasional heterosexual, otherwise it just isn't that plausible. Not everybody can be turned to homosex. So, Winkler serves an important task of being in the hetero quota, i.e a token hetero in this. And, seeing that Winkler wants to remain as Granger's personal servant, perpetually, he would in all likelihood not want to complicate that good employment and relationship - and especially not to make an initiative himself. Even were Georgie to take initiative, still winkler could be wary to take that opportunity, just because of fears of complicating his livelihood. So, it should be somewhat surprising, were this unidentified rooster-grabber to be Winkler. And not a good idea, for the plausibility. Winkler's loving (or romantic fumblings) could be some friendly mid-teenage harbor girls on their routes... He is not yet at an age that usual youngsters actually get any sex, or that much sex.... others of his age throughout the world, have gone without, and having their rosy palms... Winkler is something like 15 or 16, at this time. A query: how many of you had (had) lovers at the age of 15 ??

well, you seem to -as your potential- disappreciate those who are 35 or older.... such happens. On the other hand, I know of 18-year-olds who have been quite happy to catch a guy around 40-yo, and had seemingly great sex and good relationship.... so, it's individual... You seem to like Respected men, right? Sirs, if they are neither old nor fat... Personally, I have always liked guys who are under 22. For years, I had a habit of checking how are the arses, what happens in and over 22..... My impression has been that around 22, the effect of gravity gets to arses of men. Of course, that's approximate number of years. but still, in large samples, it seems to hold pretty well: at around 22 yo, guys' arses start to be too heavy and they get (slowly) a new form, a 'larger' form, and start to also drop.... There have been for now, only a few exceptions to that observation.... only rare ones who have preserved a nice, slim backside at ages more advanced than 22. And I have realized that really, really, I do not appreciate backsides which have a dropping feature.... so, Mark M, what do you think is going to happen when you are over 22 Any hope your arse would be preserved as slim and solid... ? or, how is that evolving now? By the way, in medieval custom, quite a lot of noble guys got knighted when around twenty. Some remnants of that continued also at the age of the Hanoverians - such as, eldest sons of all baronets getting knighted in their 21st birthday at latest..... So, that 'Sir' does not necessarily mean Old nor Fat. And would it not be nice to have a 20-yo chivalric young knight.... Mark, if you focus on being a bottom, then you'd have a useful advantage, because of not having eyes in your backhead... Your toleration for 35-yo guys (top guys) will improve, probably provided they are good lovers...

well, the boy is practically a natural-born bottom, so this is a no-brainer..... the analysis, however, should continue as: the possibility is that it's FitzWilliam, who just helps to make the rooster yet harder, as a prelude of soon sitting on it... somehow, I am having a nagging feeling that Mark is going to surprise us again..... so, let's see how irrefutable that conclusion really was. btw, I do not regard this a real cliffhanger. sub-consciously, or so and whatever. Perhaps because I felt that there is not going to anything nasty, nothing which makes Georgie any worse - so, no cliffie, really. Which leads to an explicit idea that a real cliffhanger needs to have an element of real and threatening danger. Even if it turns then to come to a victory for 'our protagonist'.

ch8: the polygamy thing really can grate..... Georgie seems to get grief from such.... Mark M: earlier Bridgemont storien have given some indication that knight Evelyn Fellowes would be something around 35 yo at this time.... but, I am guessing even that would be old to you. toast the King.... or

it is not nice to call guys sluts.... it is nicer to refer to the polygamous nature.... I think the polygamy thing is something in instincts of males - so much is mentioned along history about that men have an ingrained 'need' to sire children to several. And this transfers also to gay sex of men. Personally, I have not encountered any gay males whom I know to be instinctively monogamous. Of course, some have been monogamous at the deliberation level - so are not straying. And, personally I have encountered a lot of gay males who were polygamous both at instincts and at their deliberation. I would not be surprised if a gay male would turn out to be very 'slutty'. such certainly exist.

thank you for that proclamation. It is usually quite funny to see people to give sweeping proclamations based on their convinced beliefs. However, I fear that belief is somewhat delusional. As I gather, they continued their voyage by their ship. And they met the ship of commodore Sir Evelyn. Have you ascertained that there were no rats in either of those two ships? I would think that such ships being totally free of rats, would be very implausible.
