You sure know how to paint a picture! I´m really impressed, your story the kiss of life made me feel. That´s it. Feel. I´m right now half way through the first son. I love Sebastian, he has such an attractive personality  . Yesterday, I was reading about Raphaèl´s suicide attempt when my friends came to pick me up. They had to drag me away from my lap! I was so into it. hehehe. Thanks for sharing. Love much. Your friend, Alma.

Yeah, Lenny's a great writer and First Son is wonderful. I love the way he manages to keep his characters so fresh.
Think good thoughts,

THANK YOU!
Those were some of the nicest words anyone's ever written to me, I am so glad to hear you liked the stories... Yes, definitely 'wow' is the expression to use here.
Awesome! I'd hug you if I could.

And I've never sent it your way before, however I would like to say that your characters are some of the most gorgeously described characters I've read, you have a real knack for making me fall for them, despite them only being written on paper  My only quibble is that these gorgeous gay guys are all rich, how are us mortals meant to have a chance with them! President's son, super child prodigy, son of a rich artist, some rich British guy, heh, I think I'll be lucky if I end up with someone with a family situation 1/4 as good as theirs...

Hey Saben, you don't have to be so darn eloquent to write me, I appreciate it fine anyway, and I think you did a really great job too! Thank you!
You were certainly a whole lot more well-spoken than this fellow who wrote me just a few hours ago:
Subject: Christmas Carol, Ch. 17
>Is this story finished or what? You left in a learch.
Dear XXXXXXXXX,
I'll try not to be annoyed, but your email comes through to me like, "Eey you! I just ate this five-course meal you bought and paid for and I didn't get any dessert! What kinda service is that huh?!"
I suppose you're actually trying to give a compliment here, even though it's kind of an obscure one. No, the story isn't finished. I'm still writing it. Please be patient, I don't earn any money doing this you know...
Anyway, I am glad you seem to have liked it enough to read all 17 parts, so thank you for taking the time to write me. I do appreciate it.
Sincerely:
*ZUSTARA*

...So yes, I think you did just fine. And before anyone here thinks I snubbed this guy and came off as some kind of smart-aleck with him, try to imagine how many hours of work it is writing over 70.000 words worth of story. While he probably didn't mean it, I must admit his general attitude seemed kinda unappreciative/ungrateful and pissed me off a bit...
And number 2: while you do have a point with that quibble, you also have to realize the writer of these stories is a very poor person himself, and must be allowed to have some dreams of his own too! All this, all my writings is total escapism from my regular dreary existence on my behalf... Besides, not *all* my gorgeous gay guys are rich, though they might be in majority at the moment, I really haven't checked myself.
Thank you so much for your kind words anyway!
Hugs:
