Oh, come on, now, Patricia. We need more words of love. Please. We don't judge. We just indulge the sweetness of love. Please. Pretty please.
OK, Scylar, you get to be #1 with Sammy :)Nice work teacher; Shakespeare and young gay love on one page. Beautiful.

Hey, Kaje, I'm FIRST FAN of BJ, Sammy, AND Kaje, ANd Byron. I hope i didn't leave any out.
Now we need to hear from Meagan, Jo, Kat, Kit, and last but definitely not least, Brad and Matty!
I'm actually thrilled with how many people have put quill to paper and produced something for us. So I will wait patiently (you're all buying this, right?) for Brad and the others to find time or inspiration.

I also have this great piece of swampland in Nova Scotia if anyone's interested=:)
Sammy that was great - I love Shakespeare! And in combination with your story - awesome! Can I be your 2nd fan? :)

Ah, well, my halo slips a little now and then. Look forward to that story, Patricia. (Inspired by a shower...this will be YA, right :)

Okay, finished writing. Turned out longer than I thought. Still gonna wait until tomorrow, do a quick check for errors. Also, you may want to hold me to that less I try to chicken out. >.o
Okay--holding--and shower talk--damn Scy the hubby is out of town--unfair dude, unfair=:)

Oh, so when the hubby is gone, you're in the shower with another woman? And i thought this was a site for m/m fiction!

Rick, huh??? Dammit, Sammy. I don't have this great bundle of available time, but I just had to spend a little more of it re-reading this story. It is tooooooo sweet. ANd I love the tie-in to Spirit Day. Now, Kaje. Do we need to engage in a little one-upmanship? DOes this mean we need to write another one? Darnit, where will I find the time??????????????????
No repeats - we'll find another topic perhaps. Anyway, I just turned in my story for the Gay Straight Alliance so I'm written out for the night. Good night, sweet prince.

Okay, so I posted my little story for the prompt in my writing on my profile. I thought it was a little long to post here. ^^;; Almost 1000 words. Hope you enjoy it.

OK, I'm fast so I get #1 fandom here. I love the slightly surreal feel, where you wonder what was in his head and what really happened. And then the certainty of the end. That was real, and sweet.
LOL Kaje. I think we need to start a chart of who is whose number 1 fan. Thanks.Thanks, Jordie. ^_^
We'll just do a group fandom thing; no hierarchy (that's for werewolves.)
That works (I like werewolves. Almost as much as vampires) We should do buttons at least. #1 Fan of {insert name} =D
Patricia--so sweet--a little agnst--a little fantasy--very nice girl--very nice. So worth the wait--I'm in the fan line now!!
YAY! I have a fan line. *happy dance*

Patricia, Bravo. It is such a lovely story. Didn't need to cry first thing this morning, though. It is so heartfelt. I actually felt like I was Cam, and I was losing Zack. First Fan.
Thanks, but kind of feel bad I made you cry. ^^;; And I think you're the fourth fan, Kaje claimed number one. Oh, I know! Jello fight for number one fan!!!! What? Guys try to get girls to do that all the time. =D

I'm up for the jello fight! yEAh, but that's not fair that Kaje gets to be first, she's always has access to net, unlike this one. LOL
Oh wait, this is a YA type group. So that also rules out fight to the death.... hmmm, how else can I pit my fans against each other? ;)
Scylar wrote: "The stories that make me cry are always the greatest."Yeah, those are the best stories, although, I usually try not to cry because then I can't see the words until I calm down. ^^;;

Yea, but I like to read slowly. I really like to enjoy what the writer is telling me. And you like Billie Joe, too, huh? I bet I liked him before you did. I'd like to get in a nekkid jello fight with him for sure.

Wow you guys!! All of your stories are amazing!! Why can't we make this a monthly thing? My friend Zach Sweets came up with a writing challenge where he would post a pic and we had a month to get a short story written. I love Zach! I'm sure he would have no problems setting a new pic for next month. We used it as a way for us to just write, sounds like we have more authors here who may discover their joy of writing again.Scylar, do you have a pic planned for next month? Maybe we can take turns posting a pic for the group to write about? I can text Sweets when I find my phone, he will love what you guys have written!

I would definitely be up for that monthly thing, if we keep it low key like this; just for fun and short stories. It's great to read everyone's take on the picture.
Summer wrote: "Wow you guys!! All of your stories are amazing!! Why can't we make this a monthly thing?

And I think others should come up with the next one. THere are tons of pics in the folders in this group. Or someone could post some other pic. Either one person could pick, or perhaps several people could nominate a picture, and then we could vote on it in a poll???? Yes, Kaje, just for fun. Just shorts.
I am also working on another writing game that I am developing.I think it will be so cool and fun. BUt Iwon't disclose the details until I get it worked out.

Hey, I knew them when they were "Sweet CHildren." Yea, Tres Cool is... well, tres cool, but I go for that BJ. Hummmm, now did I mean....
Summer wrote: "Wow you guys!! All of your stories are amazing!! Why can't we make this a monthly thing? My friend Zach Sweets came up with a writing challenge where he would post a pic and we had a month to get a..."Now, Summer, where is your story??????
Scylar wrote: "Hey, I knew them when they were "Sweet CHildren.""Ok, I will concede on that, just as long as we both agree they are awesome!
Lol, not going to happen this month Scylar, I have been crazy busy!! Next month should free me up, no more football for my son. I will post next time!Maybe we could do a Thanksgiving Day theme picture. Voting on a pic would be fun as well. Maybe we can start a thread for the theme for each month, pic only no comments then vote.
Summer wrote: "Lol, not going to happen this month Scylar, I have been crazy busy!! Next month should free me up, no more football for my son. I will post next time!Maybe we could do a Thanksgiving Day theme ..."
Cool idea about Thanksgiving theme. So how old is the son? qUARTERBACK? Are they having a winning season?
And I holding you to that promise for a story next month.
Having picture every month is a fun way to expand the writing skills. It even will help each authors breaking the mind-block whenever they've been writing their WIP. It works really well for me :D
Unfortunately, I won't be able to participate next month since it's NaNoWriMo and I'm doing it. :) Writing a YA genre has been on my mind for a while. I think I'll use the pictures challenge you'll post as a practice for me to be able to write YA stories :) I've wrote too many Adult stories :(
Thanks to Summer for letting me know :D :D

Hey Zach, we'd love to hear something from you when you get the chance. Do you know what you're writing for NaNoWriMo? I'm still on the fence about it. So many projects in different stages already...

Oh, Sammy. I'm your FIRST FAN! WOw, it just melts my heart. Give us another. Please.
What sweet sounds of love I hear,
when'er this site I see.
What sweet thoughts of love are near,
wherever two lovers be.
Sorry for the weak attempt at poetry, but there is too much love here. Our little family's cup of love runneth over.
