Timmy hosts some wonderful stories on this site, stories by some very talented writers. I really don't have the time to read them all (my loss!) and I almost never have the time to read stories from other sites. But there is one that I always look out for. Every 3 or 4 months I go to check whether there is a new chapter of "Journey of Love" posted (because the author stubbornly refuses to alert me, despite repeated requests). I have just read chapter 24 and heartily recommend it for your reading. Just click here: http://www.theglassonion.org/stories/jol-24.html If you don't know this story you can read it from the beginning: you are in for a treat.

Funny that you should mention this one...it's also a favorite of mine as well. Has been for ages, and I dedicated one of the chapters of my "Holding On For Dear Life" to the author.

It's a shame that he doesn't hang out on the Web more, but when he does, it's usually on the Glass Onion MB. He has a lot in common with some of the guys here, tho. He's married with children and writes good...hehe

By the way, my other 2 favorite website for waaay above average stories are Nick Archer's Archerland and of course Da Beagle's Doghouse. If anybody needs the links to these sites, ask me!

That was probably the first "decent" gay story I read, the rest were poorly written dodgey erotica crap. I too have been looking for updates! Chapter 24 is quite interesting, but I'm too much of a romantic for that story! It's really awful at the moment!

Maybe The Journeyman would not want all that perswonal stuff to be bandied about. I think that is something that he should tell himself if he wants to. He does visit this MB every now and then as a lurker and there are a couple of haikus by him in Poetry Corner (under a different name).

Here's a hug for you, David - and another one to pass on to Man.

Always good to be discreet, for sure. But he's given that info on the other MB, and I read it there. I don't know him other than what he says in public forums like that.

I love the story, even if it's a bit tough to read right now. I also happen to know that TJ loves feedback on his story, he really (like a lot of other good authors) puts his heart and soul in it.

Hi, gang!

Thanks for all the nice comments about the story. I'm not offended about David's "revelations." I've shared that information freely when I thought it would help, and I'm very open about it. Saben -- I understand it's been hard to read right now. It's been hard to write, too. The next chatper is underway, but it's in long-hand. I have to find time to pound it out on the keyboard.

Thanks for reading the story, and thanks for all your comments.

Chris
