I was kind of hoping that by the time I'd finished emoji-ing on the comments for this chapter that the next chapter would have dropped! Apparently I was wrong 😪 Anyway - kudos for the kids going on bedtime strike, 'cos they is 'nited until Uncle Perry gets there!! Is it @kbois holding you up from posting the next chapter @Mrsgnomie? It's okay @kbois I've already got my bag packed for when you send me to The Korner!!

@kbois I miss Caleb too! So I'm in @Mrsgnomie's camp! I may have just poked the proverbial bear in Florida so I may well be sent to the Korner - I hope all my stuff is still there from last time!

@chris191070 - I think your calculations are a bit out? 24 hours in a day x 7 = 168 hours in a week which according to your figure above means we're going to get to chapter 30 in about 4.6 weeks - which at 2 chapters per week is only 9 chapters (rounding off) so that gets us to chapter 12. Therefore I think it's more in the realm of 2268 hours - assuming it's 27 chapters to go = 13.5 weeks. I just had to do the maths!! (That's how we say it in the UK - its mathematics to maths and not mathematic to math)!

@Mrsgnomie - wow, what a story! Two chapters in and I'm hooked!! I can hear Gracie crying, Ava & Henry being two (as only two year olds can) and Noah speaking in his 4 year old (going on teenager) way - that just from the way you weave your magic in words. Just two chapters and I've cried at both of them. And with you starting posting again I'm guessing it won't be long before @kbois starts posting her next story (pretty please)? I just love this website!! Mark xxxx

I never met you, but I feel like I know you through your writing. Why am I crying over the loss of someone I never got to meet? Carlos - we will all miss you and all those wonderful characters you created. May you rest in peace.

@Grumpy Bear great to hear from you - @centexhairysub is quite correct - look after yourself first! The story (even though we miss it) has to come second.

I'm so glad you persevered!

@WolfM does it again with the next foray into the Running With The Pack world! This time it's Trevor who is the main protagonist and we are sharing his journey of self-discovery - you'll have to read the story to find out exactly what (and who) that journey entails. Some of the guys from previous stories make the odd appearance here or there. If you haven't read the previous stories then this story will make absolutely no sense until you do - so go and do that before you go any further here.

@WolfM I can't believe this story is over already - what on earth will I read on Monday afternoon/evening (UK time) now? Which poor schmuck has Shannon got to impregnate her? Hopefully he'll leave her to cope with that all by herself (not that the said progeny would deserve that). And how is Trev only a 9 - surely he's got to be at least a 12!! Trev & Jayson? Friends no benefits (probably) is what they should be. This new campus discussion group sounds interesting! We already know some of the things that'll probably happen in the next story - SkyRanTrev being a throuple properly when Randy has his first shift etc. I'm looking forward to it already!!

Hey @Carlos Hazday another great story in this wonderful series. Hopefully the next instalment isn't too far off. I haven't read all the comments so I may not be the first to mention this - I love how you created President Biden's assistant by merging the actress Allison Janney with her character from The West Wing, CJ Cregg (who was President Bartlet's Press Secretary before becoming his Chief Of Staff). We couldn't have two CJ's so Allison Cregg was the only option left!

Hey @Carlos Hazday don't forget you've got CJ, Owen and all those other hunks they always seeme to meet or hang around with - don't go stealing our hot trio from this story! Though hang on a cotton picking minute - how about a crossover story (spring break as per your suggestion) involving this lot and your lot - now that would be MEGA HOT 🐺🐺🐺

So that would be like having the whole of the story Circumnavigation posted as one chapter!

Or even better - tomorrow is next Monday!

Congratulations @Valkyrie on a well deserved promotion!

Anyway, I've had news from down under - Marcus is alive and well! Marcus is currently taking a break from Love On the Rocks (Scott's Story) but is about to start loading a new story on CRVBOY. He hopes to get back to LOTR soon.

A.I. is the precursor to SKYNET I tell you!

"Sorry to tell you that this semester is picking up and I have no more chapters ready, so it may be a bit." Obviously your work must come first @Mark Arbour but I hope you manage to fit in the odd chapter here and there. I'm looking forward to seeing what the reading of the will holds for Granger and what his brother & father will do about it (and what they will think of the King supporting Granger). I'm sure Caroline isn't finished in this story and I expect she thinks that she'll be able to get Granger to change his mind (I'm sure he won't!). I don't know how you manage to keep up the superb quality of this long running saga as well as the continuing tales of Will Schluter and his family. Keep up the great work and hopefully we'll see more from you soon.

Still nothing new as at 19th March. I really hope Marcus is just taking a break and that nothing has happened to him or his famly.

I've heard back from Rob who runs CRVBOY and Marcus is currently not replying to either his or my emails. So hopefully Marcus is okay and we'll get new chapters again soon.

Thanks @Carlos Hazday, I'll give that a go and see if I get any response. I've now tried webmaster@CRVboy.org, wbmaster@CRVboy.org and webmaster@crvboy.org and for all 3 I get the automatic response saying the email address doesn't exist. I'll try Marcus again to see if he's heard anything.

Evening all The story website CRVBOY (crvboy.org) is now a shadow of it's former self - when I first found it many years ago it posted new chapters to many different stories twice (Wed & Sat) a week. Now it's down to one current story and has only updated on Saturday for quite a while. But that current story (which is the 3rd part of a trilogy) hasn't been updated at all for two weeks, and the last update (11th Feb) was only 1 chapter when it's usually two. Even the website weekly update emails have stopped - the last one I received was 14th January. There isn't an email address for the website (that I can see) and I've emailed the author of the current story, Marcus McNally (as I've successfully contacted him before) but haven't had a response. Is anyone else reading this website - are you still receiving the weekly update emails? There are loads of excellent stories on there by some authors who are no longer with us (e.g. Jack Scribe) and at least one who is now one of the best authors on here (@Carlos Hazday) so I'm hoping the website is still going and hasn't been inadvertently abandoned. Mark

As @chris191070 says this is very different to what we normally get from the maestro @Carlos Hazday. As usual @Carlos Hazday provides us with a great story & great characters who you can actually imagine in your mind! I won't give the plot away but just to say it all turns out to be a bit fishy!!

C'est magnifique! Haven't read the other comments yet but that was a very amusing diversion while we await the return of @Mrsgnomie @kbois @astone2292to posting their next story. Don't keep us waiting too long!

Great start to the New Year @Carlos Hazday. I think Mr Fanning (senior - to differentiate from his son whom we have yet to meet) is soing to be in a whole heap of do-do with his wife let alone his son and daughter! Will you be posting future chapters on your usual Friday?

Mmmm, let me think............................................................................... I say you toss her a bone - after all (as per the story) "Revenge Is Sweet" or "Payback is a Bitch" could come back to haunt you!!
