Ahem *Clears Throat*I didn't see Colin's question anywhere

I have to say that I hear the word faggot out in public about 100 times more often than at school. As far as the phrase "that's so gay" goes, I admit to being just as guilty as anyone else. I also call a lot of my friends "gaylord." It's not that big of a deal to me, and I'm out, so people pretty much know I don't mean it in a homophobic way. I think the bigger problem is the way we accept gay jokes being cracked on TV shows like Letterman and Leno, or even on South Park.

True, but in a literal sense, it's on the right hand side of the toilet, assuming that the user and the toilet are both facing the same direction. I don't think I've ever seen a toilet with the flush handle on the left hand side, so now it seems that I have a new mission in life.Falls into deep tranceMust find toilet with left sided handle

I have a question......Why are the flush handles on toilets always on the right side and not the left?

I was thinking you could get a second or maybe even a third job, working at the petting zoo, and cover it all yourself

Is that all???

Or your inbox??

Haha...I do 50 push ups and 100 sit ups a day every morning and I try to run after school, but lately it's been waiting for after work. Anyway, the pain's temperary, and if you keep at it, you'll have to push yourself harder and harder to feel the burn of fitness :)

Will Gerald's mother be struck by lightning? Does Dennis own an Al Stewart CD? If so, will he get mad at Gerald for loaning it to a friend? Will Alana be diagnosed with Adult ADHD? Who the hell thinks of these stupid questions? Find out in chapter 16 of If By Chance.

It's a trick...I'm going to send it secretly when you least expect it, so that it sneaks up on you. Hopefully while you're holding your brush like a microphone and singing into it in front of the mirror

Sorry for the delay...chapter 15 of If By Chance is up. Will Judith Mead take advantage of Gerald when Dennis isn't watching? Will Donald Fasola make a pass at Dennis's dad? Will Dennis finally get to drive his own car to the store? Who killed JFK?? Find out the answer to none of these questions and more when you read Chapter Fifteen of If By Chance.

I don't think it's fair to base a decision about this site on something that happened at another site. I'd say that if anything, a room to have scheduled Author Chats would be kinda cool, but since I'm not really into chatrooms I'd probably never go into it anyway. (Except to chat with my readers)

Codey, Tonight when I look out my window, I'll look for the brightest star because I know that I won't be looking just at a star, but at Heaven's most talented author and poet, shining just as brightly as he shined here on Earth. To Tim and Codey's family, my thoughts and prayers are still with you.

More than roller coasters??

I think what I'm going to do is write a whole chapter in third person and see what comes of it. I'll use what I already have as a reference.

Do you think it would come across better in third person?

I totally LOVED this story. Of course, it was part of a larger collaboration between Graeme, Yaalc and I over at Gay Authors, but in my honest opinion, this is one of the sweetest short stories I've ever read.

Brutal is good.....this is something in its earliest stages. I haven't even sent a draft to my editor yet. I still have to write the last chapter, then the first one. Either way, I asked for critisism and you gave it. Thanks :)

...

I still love you, Jan :)

Thanks for the compliment, Jack. BTW, you're like the seventh person to tell me that about Farrah Fawcett . *Ahem* :coughs:-Jan-:coughs:

lol....I probably wouldn't do that. I might become the Gay Jedi again

lol....I know but it sounds a lot fancier Thanks for the comment, aj :)

Well, I have to admit that I had some pretty good beta readers

Thanks Trab. I was really nervous about writing a story like this, so it makes me feel good to get positive feedback. Chapter one got me more flames in one week than all of the flames I'd ever gotten combined since I first started writing.
