vwl Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 I've enjoyed Jake Grimke in Nifty's high school section: http://www.nifty.org//nifty/gay/highschool/jake-grimke/ It's now up to 36 chapters as Jake goes off to the university -- which may or may not be carried forward in a different story. The story takes place in Baltimore in an home environment of music and lacrosse. Recommended. Link to comment
Guest Dabeagle Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 I read the first chapter, and I had read it before and stopped. I'm a sucker for the name Jake ( no idea why) and that's why I had checked this title before. I'm guessing there must be improvement because the first chapter left me thinking it was all narrative. The title character is described as perfect, except this tiny flaw, that he was gay. I have noticed this trend of making characters 'supermen' except for this fact, as if they need to overcompensate for being gay. Chapter one was disappointing for me, but I'll give it a few more and see if a rocky start (in my overblown opinion) can be recovered from; I know I've had my own share of slow starts. EDIT: It had some improvements, imo, about chapter three-four. Link to comment
vwl Posted July 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2012 Chapter 37 has been posted http://www.nifty.org//nifty/gay/highschool/jake-grimke/jake-grimke-37 A note from the author says that he's close to closing out the current, high-school arc and will return to the story with a college-based arc.

dude Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 Was more or less enjoying this story until I got to Chapter 34 and was grossed out. Have bailed. Sheesh! Link to comment
Guest Dabeagle Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 You made it about 28 chapters farther than I did; I just got bored though. Link to comment
Cole Parker Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 Well, I haven't been reading this, but just jumped to Ch 34 to see what all the commotion was about. I think I'll go with Mike on this one. Oh, wait a sec. Can I say that? That's not what I meant. Really. C Link to comment
Paul_and_Paco Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 I am not sure which "Gross" you were talking about... the gratuitous sex scene, or the Cougar Moms... either made me queasy. Link to comment
