Alright, basically the only reason I'm posting anything is because I've recently seen a post by Tim, which shows me that he is still around, even though C&N hasn't been updated in forever.
Now, let's set a clear record. I'm straight, very conservative, a US citizen who is a Bush supporter for the most part. That statement alone just made me about 50 enemies I'm sure  Anyway, with all of that in mind, I still somehow found my way into reading Chris and Nigel and I have to give my compliments to you Tim. You can definetly write well. I'm about have way through book two and only stop to give my eyes a break from the computer monitor.
As conservative as I am, there has always been one issue that that I wouldn't touch - just one: homosexuality. Mind you, I am very political so not taking a stance on this issue could lead to political trouble in the long run, but I simply cannot. My position has always been that I do not necessarily support or condem homosexual actions or relationships. When jusging a person, I tend to look at just that - the person - before I form any opinions.
Over the years, I have found that while (I hate this word) gays made me nervous in my yearly and mid-teen years, there is really nothing to terribly odd about them. For awhile in my life I was accused of being incredibly homophobic. Whether I was or I wasn't, I am not sure. What I do know now is that I have many friends that declare themselves to be gay and I don't value their opinions or thoughts on matters any more or less than those of "straight" people.
I am one of the few straight people I think who has also gone through a series of several gay men hitting me and still remain indifferent about the matter. Before my days of using websites, I atrracted two peers, both male. I even, by technicality I guess, went out with one, though it wasn't just me and him, but one of his female friends as well. Truth be told, I kept thinking that she would just go away or something and let us sit next to each other. I had asked her to protect me from him hitting on me, but all I wanted was for her to let me sit next to him and relax! Funny, how life works.
Anyway, I wanted to give my compliments to you Tim. You've done an outstanding job with Chris and Nigel. It only helps to justify, or confuse me further depending on how you look at it, in regards to my stances on homosexuality. If I ever make it out to London, I'd to grab a bite of lunch with you and your son. To be honest your son more, since we are the same age and can give me insight into how he feels about having a gay father. It would be a perspective I have never heard before. Keep up the good writing. Once I finish C&N, I'll probably fade away again, but I had to leave you this message.
PS: It's funny, I think I may have stumbled on C&N in 2000 when I was 13 and lost interest once I saw what it was about. Call it fear of discovery, but for a while, after, I tried to rediscover the story but couldn't find it. Oh well, now I've discovered it again.
