I'm dying to know what Irish thinks of our Sid. Hahahaha, I know she's gonna come up with some choice things to say about him.

Love your rhyme:)

And now you're #1, Brandon. Congrats. No surprise people want to read about these guys.

I brought this over from the News and Updates thread, where we had skewed all over the place. Our discussion had to do with me talking about "man sex" written by men and women. I had said that a memorable Afflicted passage struck me and caused me to see a difference:

What would his feet be like trapped in boots all day? Hunter wondered. Not rank, no;a slight vinegar smell, like chips, only with a more sensual under-tongue taste.

See, that right there. I don't think a woman would ever write that. It's not a right or wrong thing but a different perspective thing. And when I first read that it was a bit shocking. Almost like, eww. But then I realized it was an experience I wanted to have. Because I was never going to experience things this same way. I wanted the real experience of men loving men.

Brandon, tell us what you think. Is there a difference? An intentional voice you try to use, or is it just what happens?

NO. Don't you dare! :)

Heh, I seem to need to see him in a suit and tie to see if he works. He does have a piercing look to him, which really suits the character.

Cool...

Season 10? Oh myyyy.

So in S1 E4 he shrugged and said, "One less asshole in the world." I believed it.


:)

I have it on good authority that this IS Drake:

"My" Sweeny wouldn't be right for this story so there's your work cut out for you OJ. When you find the time and inclination :)

Could it be that I'm at the exact right age to read this?

Well you've got the genre right. I've got a big smile on my face. I feel for poor, Junior, uh, Marcus already. Love mom though.

I LOVE when there are cameos, or subtle connections in books.

I have a strange theory re: Marn
[spoilers removed]"

Mad, I know you and know you'll love Afflicted. You'll swoon for the cameo AND there's more connections in other series' too. The hidden one in WM will be very apparent as soon as you crack Afflicted too.

Your strange theory is properly twisted and brilliant. I never would have considered that. Is Marn that driven though, anymore?

A season 2 thread makes it real, right?

Season 2 NSFW thread

Just to make sure Brandon gets the message... We Want Season 2,I thought I'd better go ahead and get this thread started ^_^

I'll add some pics shortly. I know there's one of *cough* Drake around here somewhere.

Oh, and remember our little poll awhile back?
https://www.goodreads.com/poll/list/7...

(view spoiler)[ Do you think we met our vouyerism goal?

I think Sid fully got off on being watched. Not what I expected, which made it all the more fun. (hide spoiler)]

I wish you all could have seen behind the scenes at how Brandon squirmed with that? He was all, "how can I? That doesn't fit. Really, that one?" Lol. *runs and hides

But, of course, he pulled it off brilliantly and really made it work with the story.

No, no, you're right Anna. I meant (view spoiler)[humiliation. Humble Sid is a long way off I think. (hide spoiler)]

Hunter is epic! I want him to retain his, in my mind, super hero status. And he did here. The way he saw right through Sid in the locker room? Brilliant.

Not being able to edit statuses is so frustrating. Still you totally made your point :) Thanks Mad!

Have I mentioned yet how much I love Drake?

"I'm a little busy here."
And
"He's not in my trunk."
And
"One less asshole in the world."

He is just too much fun.

And there's a tiny, little bit of potential of him... (view spoiler)[sparring with Hunter at some future point. I'd love to see that. (hide spoiler)]
