The first of three parts of my newest story is now on Nifty, in the gay Adult Youth section. Comments as always welcome.



Especially from readers from this MB comunity, as the discussions here have contributed to my writing it!

.... I don't think I want to get involved in another debate about inter-generational relationships, but the reaction to your posting at TGO was a shade over the top. I wholeheartedly agree with Dave's view that a persecuted minority should not seek to persecute a minority within themselves. Not only that - the critics who express adverse opinions but say they have no intention of reading your story remind me of the so-called moral majority who campaigned against the publication of 'Lady Chatterly's Lover' and other similar works - as unattractive a collection of dinosaurs as I ever did see!



You know my views on inter-generational relationships. You know also that they are based upon personal experience, primarily as the adult participant in such a relationship, and upon the thoughts in hindsight of my erstwhile partner.

No-one has blamed me except myself, but I do have a tremendous sense of guilt, and my point of view is pretty strongly resistant to modification!



But what has that got to do with your story? Not a lot, to be honest. The IDEA of an inter-generational relationship remains hugely attractive, however wrong I believe it to be. What right, then, could I possibly claim to criticise the concept of inter-generational stories? I can't quite suppress a sense of shame, but good stories in the genre turn me on. I don't think this reaction is essentially different from that of adults who get off on teen-teen stories, whether as readers or as authors. I'm never going there in the flesh, so does it matter if I go in the mind as an adult or as a teen?



I found Part One quite interesting. The tale COULD prove to be pretty predictable, but somehow I doubt whether it will go that way. You can be a devious ****, revered author! So I'll keep reading, and I hope that your critics will see the error of their ways.



In closing - and I say it here because I certainly wouldn't say it in an off-line e-mail! - does anyone agree with me that Brian's posting style is uniquely sexy? Sure, I know the background, but I just LOVE reading his posts. I wish, I wish, I wish in vain; I wish that I were young again ...!



For a' that an' a' that,
It's comin' yet for a' that,
That man tae man, the worrld o'er
Shall brithers be, for a' that.

I couldn't agree with you more, both about Brian's posts and being young again. Brian brings a delight to eye and ear (if you read aloud), and I very much enjoy reading his words.



Brian, don't be a stranger.





Hugs, Charlie
God!! I LOVE all you guys!!!!  [message #635 is a reply to message #630] Thu, 31 January 2002 15:28 Go to previous message

I even love the guys what's aren't guys!! Cool!!



Thanks especially to Cossie!!! I'll try not to be too predictable for ya. It's funner that way!



Actually, altho the coversation started a bit rocky over at TGO, I'm really pleased that peeps over there have pretty much remained civilized. It's a pretty cool MB.



Of course, nothing like as cool as the brand new baby MB we've got here, tho, huh?????
