Camy Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 'Days of Silence' by Viv. In 2006 I'd never written anything before and was hanging out at Gay Authors (I hadn't heard of AwesomeDude at the time). That April Gay Authors had an Anthology with the theme 'Day of Silence.' Someone suggested I had a go. So I did. I wrote 'JJ and the Boys' which was, I'm happy to say, well received. Reading through the other entries I came across Viv's 'Days of Silence' and it blew me away—to the extent I was in tears at the end. It's published at Codey's World, too, where I've read it several times. It's still as poignant. So read it, do! Quote Link to comment
Rutabaga Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 This has been one of my favorite stories for years, and I ran across it again tonight. It gets so many things right. Worth a read or a re-read. R Quote Link to comment
Trab Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 I just reread it again as well, and it really is worth doing that. Quote Link to comment
Lugnutz Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 Thanks for the reminder. I've read this a couple times but not in the last couple of years. Reading it again. Quote Link to comment
colinian Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 Viv has written a coming of age story with the ultimate happy ending. I first read it years ago, in 2006 when she first posted it. I was deeply moved by this story. It is worth a read and I do so at least once a year. Colin Quote Link to comment
