FreeThinker Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Another story I have been following on Nifty and which is one of the best I've read recently Window to the World, by Indiana Jon. This is his first story, but you would never know it by the professionalism and the quality of the writing. It is the story of a former school teacher who has chosen to leave the profession under difficult circumstances and become a truck driver. Wait a minute. Don't jump to conclusions. It is a very moving and poignant story and I strongly recommend it. Jon is a good writer and a good person, as I have learned from our correspondence, and he could use some encouragement. His story is really quite good! It can be found in the A/Y section on Nifty and comes out every two weeks. The last installment was posted June 14. Quote Link to comment

Chris James Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Thanks for the link, Cole. Otherwise first time writers on Nifty are invisible and virtually impossible to find without trolling the entire list of recently posted material in more than a dozen categories, how unfriendly.

Cole Parker Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 FT probably didn't realize how lazy we all are here, and how much having a link eases the pain of actually Doing Something. That last bit was a plug I coudn't resist. C Quote Link to comment
blue Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 NO. Oh, hell, no. Not even halfway into the first chapter and an 11 year old boy can't take a shower by himself, but no, it's not enough just to wash the kid, the man's going to do that? Are you kidding me? Cole and Chris, you two should have read any of it before "recommending" it. That is not like you, so far as I know. A grown man doesn't get to do things like that to little boys. That is NOT what AwesomeDude is about. You bet your butts I am objecting to this. If I were still a moderator or admin, I'd issue a warning. FreeThinker, WTF are you thinking? Grown men and pre-teen and early teenage boys? NO! That is not what it is to be a gay man or boy. Quote Link to comment
FreeThinker Posted June 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 Forgive me. I'm sorry. I have misunderstood things. Please forgive me. Quote Link to comment
FreeThinker Posted June 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 Cole did not recommend the story and had nothing to do with my recommendation. His thinking is much more in line with everyone else's. Please do not think poorly of him. He had nothing to do with this. Quote Link to comment
Cole Parker Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 Ben, words can hurt, and that isn't what AD is all about, either. C Quote Link to comment
Lugnutz Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 I haven't looked at the story yet, but in some of the stories I've read it wasn't unusual for a gay man to help bathe a kid. It was either that they couldn't do it properly themselves or other matters like being weak or homeless orphan or a combination of things that bring this on. In those I found nothing offencive. Yes, we are a lazy lot, links to stories saves a lot of time searching. Quote Link to comment
Chris James Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 I am NOT recommending this story, just commenting on the need for links to find anything on Nifty. AD is a lot more user friendly, and that is a good reason to post here. I have my own adult/youth crap on Nifty and would love to destroy it now. Quote Link to comment
