PROLLY!
Screws me right into the ceiling. Probably too tough to remember how to spell it. To me that means stop reading, this is not going to be an intelligent read of any sort.

Did it. And living in Richmond Virginia, I can tell you there is a strong gay presence here and none of us are sitting back and taking this without a fight. Virginia is for lovers. Even if many here think the state motto should be: Vagina, It's for lovers.
And thanks to all who are supporting us down here below the Mason Pubic line. Uhm I mean, below the Mason Dickson Line. Grrr. I mean the Mason Dixon Line

Really enjoyed it myself. I have another name for you but not in public. Besides, scamp might embarrase you if I typed that outloud.
Did I type that out loud?Submission for punishment.

For anyone familliar with this incredible read written by Tristen Strangebrew, it has been gone for nearly 3 years while the author battled something in the courts. Well he's finally back and the work is being reedited and reposted with a new name although it references the origThe story is about a boy who escapes an abuse home in the midwest and takes up residence on the streets of Hollywood. The story is loosely autobigraphical. And absolutely brilliantly written.
It can be found here: https://theboysofsunset.wordpress.com/
If you're looking for a story with a lot of sex you won't find much of it here. It's not tha kind of story although there is some.
And be sure and welcome Tristen Stragebrew back to us.
Cheers!

It just goes to show that Talon Rider is a punny guy.

It was a second hand lions kind of story. I loved it. I also had an aunt that was . . . eccentric. She was known to break out in a yodel now and then and she was really good at it if that can be, perhaps skilled or gifted would be a better choice of terms. And there were rumors she won a peeing contest against her two brothers from the second floor of a Howard Johnsons in their youth. Having known her . . . it's probably not a rumor. She was never seen without her favorite drink in hand, a mixture of milk and pepsi. Go figure.
It was a most wonderful story and in true Dabeagle style. But does the guy write anything not top notch? Saved to my private Library is all I can say. I always worry about the loss of so many great works when the internet apocolipse occurs. So I give santuary to the best of the best. :-)
Now I have to find an adult beverage to help stem the pics in my head of my dear aunt Ruth. GAH! Make them stop!

I'm locked into this one completely. I sense a full Colin Parker special coming on here. I can't wait for the next chapter.

I had the great privallege of meeting Rick Beck this last Friday. I found out he lives just a couple hours northwest of me. We had a great conversation and I hope to do it again. Rick is a wealth of information. And the view from his nest atop the mountain he lives on was breathtaking.
And Rick, if you read this, thanks so much for the best cup of coffee I've had in years.
I got to thinking how rare it is for authors to meet each other. I mean we talk via emails all the time but having a cup of coffee with a person who is also an author is a really great experience.
So I wondered if any others out there have had the opportunity to meet other authors.
So, have you?

Wow, thanks so much to everyone. Just trying to get the creative juices flowing again after such a long sabbatical. I want so badly to finish TIC. I left my boys hanging, something I said I'd never do. *sigh* So this was the first warm up. It was a fun piece and I really didn't expect the response that I've received. And they were all well received. I write for me first but it's nice when someone finds something you've written worthy of comment.
You folks just made my day. Thank you.

Greetings all.
I would like to read a story about a common American dropped into English culture or a school that is at a complete loss to understand the language even though he understands the words. I think it would be great fun reading and probably full of laughs and double entendre. I'd write it myself except for that complete lack of knowledge of the British vernacular.
Any suggestions of links would be greatly appreciated.

I experienced this in true life once when a young British girl came to America and was working for a Diaper service with my sister. They were a service that laundered diapers and would deliver fresh weekly while picking up the soiled. It took forever for her to get the drift because she kept trying to sell them nappies to begin with. One morning she ran in and asked my sister is she had a rubber as she's made and error. Stunned my sister said "no" and she was out the door saying over her shoulder, "Could you knock me up if you come across one? I'm in a dreadful state."
My sister of course was hot on her heels to get the true meaning and explained that she would need the rubber BEFORE she was knocked up and that if she's already made an error which required a rubber then it was already too late! We had a great laugh over that for many years. Who would have thought that she was looking for an eraser.
I love stories where the American understands the words but not the language. If anyone knows of any good ones I'd love to know.
Cherrio! (Not the breakfast cereal kind.) ;-)

I was amused yesterday when Robertson came out and said he wasn't ignorant because he had a college degree. Perhaps he can use that piece of paper to wipe his ass. College degrees do not confer intelligence or common sense, even a redneck should know that. Like many fundamentalist Christians he's read the Bible and chooses to forget what he doesn't like or that which doesn't fit his small minded view of the world. That is the very definition of ignorant.
I did run across this short opinion piece which pretty much states my own view of free speech rights. Robertson and the knuckleheads who have come out in support of his statements should heed the intelligent thoughts in this article, but they won't. Ignorance won't allow it.
Hey, go easy on the red necks. Gays come in red neck too. And red neck is not an IQ but rather a way of life. I'd like to point out that non-rednecks do some pretty ignorant things too. I would think that someone who views themselves as intelligent would not say something so . . . uhm . . . hmm, perhaps you can fill in that missing word. It's not that I'm lacking in vocabulary but rather that I have a surplus of manners.
Merry Christmas!

Loved it. Thanks!
Happy Holidays

What a fantastic Story. I am flat in love with it. It is so very well written and the language is perfect. Although the cliff hanger he just left us with might get me to send out Guido. I hope it isn't too long before we find out who's hurt.
Love the story. Just finished CH 75.
-
Thanks, I didn't know. I do now and I'll be checking the list.
BTW, dabeagle, been reading your stories. Love them. I've been writing to your email address and its been kicking back. You may want to check and see if your mailbox is full.
Cheers,
John

As great Writers go, few of this caliber exist anywhere online or anywhere else for that matter. This seafaring saga follows the career of one man in the 1700's British Navy. Skillfully interwoven with history, he brings you on deck with just the right amount of detail and passion. You are inside his skin as he lives this extraordinary life. Or at least wish you were. The tale is well told and spans several book already. He will end it with the current title, St. Vincent. When he does, I'll just have to start again. It's that good. And it is destined to be a classic.
If you have ever read the stories of Horacio Hornblower, just add fantastic gay sex and you're there. This is an absolute must read.
Listed in order:
Beginning with "The Gun Room"
Equally compelling is his other series known as CAP (Chronicles of an Academic Predator.) Another skillfully written saga of a Rich families life and secrets. Currently, spanning eleven volumes and it will draw you in to the point that you shut off your phone and close your blinds refusing to answer your door.
Full of lust and greed and generosity, control and manipulation, just cancel all your appointments now. This writer is beyond incredible.
I will only list the first book here. I assure you, you'll find the rest when you get into it.
Chronicles of an Academic Predator
Having said all that, The HMS series remains my favorite of the two.
After all, who doesn't love seaman?

A NEW Author with a delightful talent and a slightly warped sense of humor (ya, I said that
)tells the tale of one boy's exploits and complications while coming of age. The story is still underway with 22 meaty chapters.There is delightfully written exploration and hot steamy sex which he manages to make refreshingly new each time.
This is not your run of the mill coming of age story and I think this new author will be a great contributor for years to come.
The age range of the story is 14+. Can love be perfect at that age? Nate and Vicky think so.
Everything Will Turn Out Alright
Enjoy.

Wow, what to say about this story...
First of all, it is fantastic and if you haven't read it - you should. I had never read a gay themed fantasy novel before and I was so happy to have stumbled across this one. I have really fallen in love with all the characters and I can't wait till some new chapters come out. My favorite chapters are in book two, chapters 15 and up - I think this is the strongest part of the books so far because you get an intimate view of who the main character really is - I think this is when I really fell in love with the book.
Also, I feel like Jamie (the writer) could easily do some spin off books with some of the supporting characters; namely, Renaud. Lots of potential there, I find him to be a really interesting character.
While reading the story, I was compelled to paint a portrait of the main character. Thought it would be fun to share with other readers, so here it is in case anyone wants to look:

Be warned: this story will suck you in and you won't want to leave... Much love and thank you for sharing this beautiful tale with all of us.
Renaud? I never really thought about a spin off but You're right, he would be an awesome choice. Charles would be another interesting one to see.

A great call. I loved the story and honestly wondered if he had been silently following me through me childhood. I wanted to tell Cole he had Steven's name wrong.
What a fantastic and captivating tale. Like James, I really wanted to read about the friendship to come. A loving and Moving story that only slightly flushed my tear ducts.
Highly recdcomended.
I've decided that when I get out of my second childhood, I want to grow up to be Cole Parker the next time. He writes fantastic stories.

I think it is safe to say you are right.
I seem to have trouble getting the cursor to go below the quote so you'll have to pretend it's at the top.
But I never considered what we would find on the other side of the barrier. More food for thought.
If I were to speculate, and it would be pure speculation because I don't read the chapters a whole lot before you lot do, and Jamie and I don't confab on IM over the plot like we used to, I'd say that we won't really know what happened to the Trio until we reach the other side of the barrier. I think there's gonna be a lot of stuff over there that's gonna surprise hell outta the churchy types...AJ

Hey guys... I know there are a tonne of avid readers around here and I'm hoping this rings a bell for one of you.
There was a story I read some time back that I sort of wanted to read through again, but I've lost the link. I scoured the internet all last night and couldn't come up with anything, which was VERY frustrating.
The story is s a fantasy where one of the cultures is somewhat Roman-like and the other is sort of native-like. The Roman culture is very militaristic and is in the process of conquering the native culture. Within the native culture there are people with "gifts". Some only have very weak powers and some pretty much limitless (power to control water, fire, mind stuff, etc). Anyway, the main character is a boy from the native culture who is captured and taken as a hostage back to the roman-type civilizations island and sent to live with an officer in the army (as are many other children/young adults in the form of hostages to different homes).
I don't want to give away too much in case I do find it and someone here actually wants to read it or something... but hopefully someone around here has read this book and has a link or something that they can shoot my way.
Thanks a lot.
It sounds a little like Jeet by Josh here on AD

I'd like to know if other authors have been there- just in case I'm losing it.
Often! One of my stories a main character died. It was a senseless death. No I didn't kill him, he just died. I cried for nearly two weeks every time I sat down at the keyboard. It was my second story too. Almost my last one.
Quite often my characters or their situation will have me doing buckets. If your characters do not personify themselves to you then they probably don't move the readers either. For me, a good story should, at some point work every emotion you have.
Common ? Perhaps. Normal ? It has nothing to do with it. In your case . . . anyways. lol
cheers.

This author has been through the mill trying to get this story out and it is truly the best writing this author/reader has ever read anywhere online or in print. Tristen has synesthesia and his view of the world is unique. The story is loosely autobiographical and the deatil is incredible. As seen through the eyes of a boy with synesthesia you get to see the world in a colorful new way.
Here is a clip from CH 69:
The beers were cracked open and they followed the next joint. It all became muddy and fluid. The music kept floating down like clouds of silver with reflections of red and blue neon from some sign half a block away sent to us for a fraction of a second from a moving chrome bumper. It was a chance encounter, a colorful puff of a gift that seemed to hang there long after it was gone. Things slowed down. My cheeks got hot and pink. Squeegy’s hand in mine felt like a story I could read. Crazy Mike’s glasses got thicker and thicker. Donnie was talking about Gene at The Cup trying to grab his balls. Zac and Daniel were twins from different mothers, blinking in unison, in slow motion, sharing the same air, their eyes moving like they were wired together.
“Mike, who’s this?”
“Hendrix, man. “Red House.”
You can see the colorful language used to convey the emotions of what he sees, smells, hears and experiences.
This story is not about sex, it's about relationships and surviving using each others strengths. It is an incredible story that will capture your heart and change how you see the world. It's a must read.
Please enjoy it and make sure you comment. Tristen has worked very hard to bring this to us. Leave a comment, let him know it was worth the fight.
