The cronnex website is offline since a while, it does not look like it will be coming back anytime soon. Does anyone still have parts 3 and 4 of the book available and could send it to me? It would be much appreciated since they are nowhere to be found.

Usually I don't like webcomics very much, and shounen-ai (yaoi) manga neither as they are usually not very original or aritistically satisfying, but honeydew syndrome is, imho, in combination more than the sum of it's parts. Check it out. Go here for the first page, or download the first three chapters as archives here

wow, how about getting of your high horse, Mr Miller? I can do without your lecturing. And keep the pity to yourself, please. Really, I thought there would be a little bit more civility in discussions on this forum.

and an alcohol problem ;) but seriously, I really liked this story.

that was just so cute! confessing, taking a step back on second thought and then a half one forth again...

Recovery opted for "The End"

well, if I compare the partying in this story to my youth, it is actually pretty tame. They only drink and smoke some pot, and only at the weekends. Perhaps you grew up in a very protected enviroment, colinian, but not everybody had the same experience. But this still isn't an excuse for a repetitive and confusing story structure of course.

awesome to hear you are working on another story! I am really looking foward to read it. Since you mention time-traveling and scifi, there is a really good book about the topic by Steven Fry: "Making History". And on gay scifi, I am still looking to find a book that will satisfy me in this genre. Delany's Dhalgren is great, but I cannot get to like the 60's lsd inspired mind altering, alternative reality storylines. And The Future Is Queer was a huge letdown for me too, I couldn't even finish reading the anthology because I was so disappointed at the stories. And a question/request: will you post here if another chapter is added? because the email notification tool is really practical!

I too thought it was sometimes a bit confusing. An editor could be of benefit for the story, agreed. I wrote a mail to the autor and suggested him to submit the story to Awesomedude. Anyhow, third chapter is in, and I think the story should be added to Best Of Nifty now.

http://eu.nifty.org/nifty/gay/highschool/recovery/ There are just two chapters yet, but I found the beginning very promising.

i'm definitely going to follow this story, EleCivil is one of my favourite online authors and i'm a huge science fiction geek!

so it's not "gay related" or is it?

great film, thanks

part three was just released

TDR is one of my all-time favourite websites/blogs with obscure punkrock concert reviews, a gay pride parade (he isn't gay), engrish, japanese band names... just take a browse through the site. Now he has begun a very literal translation of a porn story from G-MEN magazine, Love Hotel: I know, not very high-brow, but i think it's funny. and quite interresting to see the erotic tastes of different cultures...

I think I spotted one or two fellow science-fiction fans here on the board. This one is for you, a brand new must-have anthology of gay/lesbian/bi/queer stories set in the future. This is the callout for submissions:

sorry, I don't want to be harsh but I don't think those stories qualify for best of nifty. at least the first two that I began to read. if you apply the criteria (http://www.awesomedude.com/adboard/index.php?showtopic=1698) points 1-3, or pecmans gay writing tips (http://www.awesomedude.com/adboard/index.php?showtopic=9) you know what I mean. They are just plain bad written, the characters are one-dimensional, the dialogues are unrealistic and annoying in the sex scenes - which tends to kill any erotic atmosphere that might have been there. just take the quaterback story. it is just tiring when this monologue is repeated for like 5 times: "Oh, God, Jason!! Uhhh!! Oh, yeah!! Jesus fucking Christ - I've never had it so good, man!! Yeah!! Oh, God, I'm gonna cum!! I'm cumming!!! Uhh!! Uhh!! Uhhhhhhh!!" Dylan screamed" or hissed or roared and Uhhh!!!!!! and so on. I mean, seriously. that's not even good wanking material when you are constantly bothered with scrolling away this nonsense.

yay, finally a new chapter. it was great, but please don't let us wait as long for the next one! i hope the band will be there again, i kinda like them...

in this case the trolls are not ugly, they are more like cat-people. a yeti if you like, or bigfoot. hairy humans with sharp teeth and claws. absolutely not the trolls from harry potter! well, you can't really say it's a happy ending. i liked it, but I can't really tell without spoiling it!

hey, i wanted to recommend this book i just read: Troll: A Love Story an excerpt from the book:

thanks for the warm welcome! right now i'm reading through the novel-archives, lots of good stories you are having here! I've been looking for a more "sophisticated" story site, and I'm glad I found this place.

one of my favourite books of all time! everybody should've read it.

hey, i found this place through nifty, and i just wanted to say how much i enjoy this story! it's really funny. the part with the vegan boots got me cracking up. and a good choise of music too. I was actually listening to "Post-hardcore anarch-emo with some heavy oi and crust influences" while reading!
