This is just f**king maddening.

Yeah, happy pigging out.

Nice chapter, laughed my ass off at the last sentance. There are going to be alot of red faces in that room in a few seconds.
Do you mean a few weeks?

I thought of an interesting twist, though: what if the friend actually <i>wasn't</i> gay? What if the narrator only believed he was gay? If the betrayed friend turned the tables on the lead character, and said, "look, I was initially angry that you refused to speak to me for four years after kissing me, but I've realized that I'm not gay. But I'd still like to be your best friend again, if you want." There might be a way to make that work.
I had thought of this too, near the end, when Justin was waiting for Lucas. I knew Lucas would come, but that thought hit me. What if he wasn't gay? Justin never gave him a chance.
But he's gay, after all. So I won't think of that anymore.
It was wordy in some parts that it sometimes lost me, but that could be because I don't speak the language. But I like it.

If Wibby would receive a ton of emails everyday, I don't think he would have time to write the story anymore.

AJ brings us another one of his Story Time. This time, it's about John, Bill, and Priscilla. (Yep, a threesome.) Part one is up at the home page, and it gives background to how John and Bill met. If you don't know who they are, read Story Time: Grampa and Amos. (Sorry if I didn't put a link. They're all at the home page. The link to that is at the upper left of your screen.)
Interesting characters, interesting situation, interesting author.. :D
It's a really great story. I don't have the words to describe it, but if AJ understands Tagalog, then here: Galing, sobra.
After you've read it and made a comment in this thread, PLEASE go to the story thread of Grampa and Amos in this same forum and beg AJ to tell us what happened to Jake. PLEASE

I can't help laughing reading this. Absolutely brilliant! So true.
I'll stop now, before I give you more rash in the brain. ;)

Three words. Wow, wow, and wow!
I love it, and I second everything Cole said up^^ there.
If AJ would only tell me what happened to Jake, I'll be the most satisfied guy in AD. :)
I'll stop now, before I repeat everything Cole said up^^ there. See, I'm already repeating myself. ;)

One last thing: I hope I emphasize it enough. AJ, please, I beg you, tell me what happened to Jake. :)
-
I second what Wibby said.
Cole already knows how I feel about the story. Don't wanna repeat myself.

My condolences to Codey's family, friends, and Tim.
It's impossible for me right now to know what to say. *Sigh* :(
-
I second that. :) If you're having a bad day, just read EleCivil's blog. If you want to kill yourself, read mine.

The worst, or the best, depends on how we would see the situation in front of us.
Just like what Colin said over at CW, Codey will be with us forever.

I don't get a lot of mail to begin with (grumble) however my favourite type of letter is when either
(A) A reader says what I wrote helped him/her with a rough patch in his/her life
OR
(B) The very, very rare instance when one of my readers really gets what I was saying. It may not sound like much but I don't know that most people get it...
I'm offended. None of these two are in my emails.
Seriously though, I agree with these two. And I had one comment that I like that said my story, The Ride Home, was "important." -
So does this mean you have a foot fetish
The answer is no, and I love you, Des.

I know this is aimed at the author, so I speak as an editor and reader. I would think the author would be concentrating no writing and wouldn't get a hardon while typing. Reviewing what they've typed might be a different story tho.
Different story for me though. Since when I write, I am in my character's shoes.
-
I don't hate it. I kind of like it. I agree with Wibby, though, when he said that it wasn't a story. The first half of it reads like a manuscript for an oration.

I'm not ashamed that I was aroused while writing the next to last scene in the last chapter of FABH. It's not a sex scene, and I don't know if it's romantic, so I chose other scene. Part of growing up, I guess.
-
Yeah, Dude. Happy Birthday to you!
-
My prayers to Codey and Tim. I'm with you, guys. I hope you get through this.

I wrote him after I read it :)
Me too. It was really awesome. I'm hooked.

I've tried writing in present tense (to those who've read my blog, it was that story in my latest entry) and this was after reading Freak the Mighty. I'm not sure if that's a major work of fiction, but it's certainly above half the published stuff out there. The plot was, to me, superb. Ordinary but superb (how could that be?
). I like the feeling that I was left in after reading it. And I think that it wouldn't have had the same effect if it was written in past tense.One of my favorite John Grisham book, The Rainmaker, was also written in present tense. And I read that book before I knew all about POV's and tenses, but I had thought, at that time, that it was no different to what I have read of Steinbeck's books. It was only words, written to convey a message and hook readers into.
Both those books became movies.
I think a story should have a plot, setting, characters, etc. But the tense, POV should not be the basis for a writer's storytelling ability. Like Cole said, we're all amateurs and we're trying stuff out. I like new stuff, but I won't try rowing a boat across the Pacific Ocean. Of course, I shouldn't say that others shouldn't try doing that.

I think 2nd person is good on poetry. Although I've only read one written on that person. (It was a Tagalog song actually, but they're still poetry, right?)

Hahaha!
Don't hide in that stall. It's so small just like a closet.LOL

I'm sure Cole wouldn't be that predictable. :)
