  1. Chapters 1-4 of Another Day in Paradise are still posted on Nifty here. I remember seeing his name, but do not remember ever reading his stories. He also edited for others (Love in a Chair by Altimexis for one). Tom
  2. If someone has a few extra minutes some day, you might consider doing some pruning on the Links page. There is a lot of dead wood right now. --Tom
  3. Well, that was exciting! Lots of things happened in chapter 60 and lots of questions were answered. Although I was fairly certain of most of those answers. This has certainly been a fun story. Thanks for sharing it with us Nigel!
  4. Well, that was fun! Thank you for sharing this wonderful little tale with us. Tom
  5. I can think of at least two stories where a character is taken ill and his roommate cares for him, but both take place at American universities, so that's not right. I can think of one story where a character is sent to school in Scotland, but it was more for discipline than hiding out, so that's not right, either. The description sounded familiar, but maybe it was just the different parts that were familiar and maybe I never read the story you are searching for! -Tom
  6. Glad I could help! I am still working on Nigel's question... -Tom
  7. Pretty much all of this is in Building A Family over on Nifty (https://www.nifty.org/nifty/gay/adult-youth/building-a-family/). The most recent chapter was posted back in October of 2020. The scenes you describe start around Chapter 50. -Tom
  8. I can see where you are going with this idea (re-freshing older stories), but I would counsel you to exercise caution. Don't be like a certain well-known movie director who tries to re-write a famous science-fiction movie series every few years when he re-releases the films onto yet another format. Leave the story alone, but feel free to clean up the mistakes and poorly-worded passages.
  9. This type of fantasy story is usually not what I would read, but these stories are quite good and fun! I have enjoyed all of them. I got impatient to see what happens next, so finished the story on another site--that's how good it is!
  10. Be even better with the correct information--Derrick plays french horn; Brandon plays the flute! Details, details, details....
  11. Beautiful! According to the comments on the Youtube page, this is Bells of Dawn, poem by Pushkin and music by Sviridov. The soloist is Aleksey Mikhailov and this is Choir of Boys of the Choir School by I.M.I. Glinka (St. Petersburg). I don't read Russian, either, so this is only as correct as the commenters!
  12. Not only talented, but cute--I love that big smile! He apparently comes from a family of performers and from a region of the world that has a long history of producing fine circus performers, so he starts with some advantages that the typical American kid would never have. I don't think Americans celebrate youthful accomplishments the same way some others around the world do. I don't think we have a show anything like "SuperKids". Having kids compete against adults is not the same as giving them their own platform. I think it is more of an attitude. Americans treat talented kids as oddities. The Germans just assumed they would be able to find enough talented kids to make an on-going TV show.
  13. Oh good, most of the loose ends all tied up nice and neat. This is another fine addition to the series. Of course, now I feel as if I should go back and re-read all the others again.
  14. Hmm, if I had known this story was abandoned, I probably would not have started reading it. I am not a big fan of incomplete stories!
  15. Make sure your seatbelts are securely fastened! This story is taking some unexpectedly sharp turns....
