Kitt Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 My apologies ladies and gentlemen! The hold up of CC is entirely my fault. We had a death in the family last week and things have been a bit out of control, but are starting to settle into the new normal now. I promise I will get the final edit done today and back to Tim as fast as possible! Actually I am surprised he waited this long for me! I am sure he and AC didn't leave me much to correct! 3 Link to comment

Timothy M. Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 (edited) So after fiddling and editing many of the earlier chapters, I finally posted chapter 12. Hope you like it. And the tourist information: Tivoli - the second oldest amusement park in the world. Bakken or Dyrehavsbakken - the oldest amusement park in the world. Oh and I almost hit the 100,00 words target with this chapter. Edit I: Off to bed now, and there had better be some reviews when I get up tomorrow morning, or I shall be all and lose my mojo for ch. 13 (which is already at almost 2,000 words). Edit II: Oh just got one, thanks pal. Edited July 28, 2015 by Timothy M. 2 Link to comment
LitLover Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Yay!! I'll read it as soon as I get home Link to comment
EagleIsaac Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 An excellent chapter Tim. Well worth the wait and my semi-regular pestering my friend. It has been a very long, very warm day, and my brain is fried so if it is ok with you, I'll leave a review tomorrow. 1 Link to comment
Headstall Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 It was, as always, worth the wait... 2000 words on the next one? you should be able to finish that up in a couple of days, Lightning 1 Link to comment
ColumbusGuy Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Great chapter, and the cake recipe will fit here just fine, or you can email it. No need to convert things--that's what I use the Internet for when things get more complicated than kilometers, meters and inches. Those I can relate to in my head, but I always look up conversions for things when I bake or cook--all I can ever remember is that water boils at 100 rather than 212. 1 Link to comment

I rectified the oversight as soon as I realized I wasn't I hardly ever follow individual stories, I follow the author. That way not only do I get notifications about all their stories and when chapters are added, edited, etc. But I also get notifications about them starting a new story. 1 Link to comment
Timothy M. Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Mmm, carrot cake, any type of nut cake (no comments from the peanut gallery please), lemon cake, orange (without the chocolate) cake. The list goes on, as long as i avoid chocolate. You're sweet Tim... I'll pretty much try anything else, unless you have a not chocolate, but delicious favorite.. Hmm coconut OK? Maybe I'll PM you with some more suggestions. 1 Link to comment

Caz Pedroso Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 was that a yes to getting the Dream Cake recipe (the coconut option) ? Looks good - and I had a great bit of luck, a friend was clearing out her cupboards and gave me a packet of vanilla sugar. it was the only thing in both recipes that I didn't have and had never heard of. 1 Link to comment
Victor Gutte Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 so I promised you a review and here it is .... so the story begins in a mysterious way and in a set of events we find our Russell being sent away to Denmark where he meets Jacob. at this point everything is quite a mystery although we feel that Russ' Dad is quite a douche bag. in the first chapter you have painted Denmark in a really beautiful way as well as the journey it took Russell to start his transformation. firstly let me start of by talking about Russ as Clueless Camping is his journey after all .... Russell was a very sad and depressed boy at the beginning, he was totally clueless about everything which was kind of cute and sad at the same time. but even then when he figured out himself he didn't fight back or wanted to change himself but he accepted himself wholeheartedly. that shows the amount of maturity in him, the story until now showed how he overcame the issues he had with himself and also the journey of his transformation from a resentful and unenthusiastic teenage boy to a confident young man who is ready to face his issues. the fact that he had a loving partner such as Jacob helped him a lot. now coming to Jacob, he is a confident young man who wanted to help Russell at first to get rid of his guilt but instead found himself falling for the confident and cheerful man Russell has started become. he is the main reason Russ started to come out of his shell and he was there for our boy every time he was needed. while he's good looking, he doesn't feel proud of them but rather blessed which makes him lovable. him being ready to move with Russ proves how much he loves him. he's also got a loving family which helped him in growing to be the person he now is. the sex between them is best described as romantic and loving. in short ,Jacob in three words : romantic, intelligent and sensible. while I wanted to write more, I really felt that CC is about Russ more than anyone else and the journey includes Jacob more than everyone else so I really didn't feel like putting other characters along with them here but I'll write about them later 5 Link to comment
Timothy M. Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 so I promised you a review and here it is .... Thank you very much, Victor, that was so sweet of you. I loved the way you described Russell and Jacob. 1 Link to comment
