Re: A Scout's Life (fff/f & f/fff)

This is kind of up my alley thematically. Interesting mix of immaturity and peril. I can't wait to see how Joyce gets out of this one.

Re: Riders of the Midnight Sun (f+/f+) Chapter 19 Posted 2023-04-23

Appreciate the interest! I haven't given up on it completely, but I've had a lot of other things on my mind lately. Thank you for the reminder though. I know there are others waiting for a conclusion. I can't promise I'll get back to it soon, but hopefully I will eventually.

Re: George's Many Kidnappings (various/m)

That's quite a predicament that George has been left in! I'm really enjoying this series. It's nice to see the variety of creative situations you can put the poor boy through. Looking forward to Kidnappings 7 and 8. Wonder if you're planning on delivering on the "various" kidnappers any ti...

Re: The Roommates - Short Stories (F+/F+) - Story 1 (Part 3)

Wow, you're really on a role with these. I wanted to comment on chapter 2, but didn't get around to it until now when I see you've already posted chapter 3. I like the change in pace. Shorter chapters with a softer (bit still pretty intense!) situation. Love the banter between the two. I'm just real...

Re: Riders of the Midnight Sun (f+/f+) Chapter 19 Posted 2023-04-23

Thanks everyone! I'm glad you all enjoyed this chapter. I struggled with writer's block about it for a long time, so I'm glad it turned out pretty decently. I think what threw me off is I was trying to give each story a "purpose" in the overall plot. Once I started thinking of them as stan...

Re: George's Many Kidnappings (various/m)

Thank you, everyone, for the kind comments and interest in George's exploits. This is only a shorter part but wraps up this kidnapping. Let me know whether you want to read about George's next kidnapping next, or an earlier one. My vote goes for earlier. It might be fun to see him when he's more in...

Re: Riders of the Midnight Sun (f+/f+) Chapter 19 Posted 2023-04-23

Chapter 19 Deirdre felt disoriented. She wasn't sure if she would ever get used to hopping between worlds so casually, nor for the eerie feeling of refreshment she felt upon waking. Her hand fumbled for the latch on her sleep pod, and she swung her body onto the carpeted floor. Deirdre took a momen...

Re: The Rookie (F/F & M/F) - Epilogue (Mar. 2, 2023) [Story Finished]

Well, I thought a lot of Courtney's backstory was just characterization for the sake of characterization, so it surprised me that it turned out to be plot-relevant. It also surprised me that the story dealt with themes of abuse and mental trauma, and managed to navigate the emotions so well.

Finally got caught up. Did not expect from the first two chapters that this story would go so hard and heavy, but you did it in a tasteful way. Details that I thought were just character-development turned out to be plot-relevant. I'm pretty impressed!

Interesting point about the game being mandatory. That is, of course, a contrivance necessary to make the story work, but it also touches on the themes we've been discussing. The game wouldn't be as exciting, to either the players or the audience, if the players could just opt out of all the bad par...

Insightful as always, BlissfulMisery. There's definitely a lot more to be said about these topics. I think you've correctly identified that there is a bit of a status-quo bias to overcome when we look at any other hypothetical society. Not just when looking towards the future, but also when looking ...

Hey guys. Sorry it's been awhile since my last activity, but hopefully that will change soon. On the question of dystopia, let me just give my perspective. I of course did not intend for it to be a utopia, but I intended it to be understandable why the fictional society chose to evolve this way, and...

Glad to see you've started on a series. Sorry it took me awhile to see this. It sounds like this could be a pretty interesting premise for the story. It seems like in this chapter, your main goal is to establish your protagonist's characterization. I think it's good to keep "show, don't tell&qu...
