A real Christmas cracker of a story.
Oh wait - you Americans don't 'do' Christmas crackers do you? Well, read the story and you'll know what I mean. 🙂👨🦽🍪🎂🎄

I was left scratching my head. Rutabaga was left scratching his head. How many others with itchy heads are out there?
Okay, I’ll get down from my soapbox now.
I should really let Rutabaga speak for himself, but as I read his post he was simply saying he was confused because he had already read Chapter 14 when it was posted as Chapter 13.

Altemexis may have a valid point in normal circumstances. However, this story is being written from two points of view and it so happened that Chapter 13 was Daniel's and Chapter 14 Robin's. Consequently, unlike a normal story where missing a chapter would cause considerable head scratching for readers, in this instance it didn't cause that much of a problem.

Is Robin going to get a real Foster father?🙂

Even more varieties than Heinz!😀

This is off to an excellent and entertaining start. It will be interesting to see how the various relationships develop as Johnny's arrival changes what was the norm.

I happened to come across this shortly after reading the story. Could it be 'The Revenger of the Nerds'?

Does this lab take the biscuit?

Interesting to stumble across this same story back in 2018 with a different author!

Did you respond to the post to prevent further speculation? If not, why not?
Rather than say anything publicly, I did send a PM to the person in question, saying that the AD site appeared to be functioning normally and there was no indication of the owner being ill. Interestingly (perhaps) I have had no response to that message.

Why don't we get more of these?! Come on, Camy. You know you love writing these. With all the woe in the world now, this was a needed refresher.

Something certainly needed refreshing!! 😁

Anyone reading any of those stories and not seeing them as fantasies should have his poetic license revoked.

Dang! I was convinced you'd fully researched this story... 😁

This story by Geron Kees is a homage to the Hardy Boys stories.

I am so pleased to see Cole Parker listed as this months Featured Author. I, along with many others, have enjoyed his work over the years. What was particularly pleasing was to see Ren listed at the top of the list of titles. One of my favourite works by Cole and one which I would recommend others to read.
I'll second that Nigel - and especially you mentioning Ren as being one of your favourite stories. It is definitely one that sticks clearly in my memory bank.

I posted this review after the final chapter of the story appeared at GA:
Do not be fooled, as I nearly was, by the opening couple of chapters of this story. You could easily be misled into thinking it is a guidebook to Ravello and its environs such is the detail provided by the author. Indeed I suspect it could easily be used as such.
However, it then develops into a complex story of how a young teen (Gianni) who has recently been orphaned, is transported to live with grandparents who he has never met. The culture change from London to southern Italy is dramatic. His grandparents and other relations are steeped in the traditions of the area and dominated by their religious beliefs.
Gianni finds it hard to adjust to his new life until he finds a friend – Angelo. The relationship that slowly develops between them is the crux of this special story.

From engorged to "libidinous fog." Progress, I think.

Is he a descedant of Phileas?

At least Dad wasn't portrayed as being three sheets to the wind

A new story at Gay Authors that deals gently, but not mawkishly, about the meeting and slowly developing relationship between two college students, one of whom is handicapped.

As of 12-29 Chapter 7 is now correct - as is Chapter 8
-
For the benefit of anyone who may be reading this story, please note that Chapter 7 posted on 12-26 is actually Chapter 8!
No idea what has one wrong, but I have asked Mike to correct. For the moment though that chapter is best ignored

Excellent!

Possibly, but I was advancing by six again as from B to H.
