You might want to refresh your memories of the series "Robin" on Timmy's website. The first 5 chapters have been there for ages, with well-written chapters by famous writers.

I have, after LONG delays, finished Chapter 6, and sent it to Tim earlier today. Appropriate groveling and profuse apologies were sent along with the attachment...lol

Hope everybody is having a nice ramp-up to Christmas! Man and I are having a blast!

I had to edit a link. David, please do check the links.

It will also head for Nifty later as soon as I fix the final HMTL for Nifty's needs

David, that's perhaps the saddest, strangest and probably most shatteringly unreal yet too real to believe look into what can and often does happen in the lives of young gay kids experimenting with sex and love and the harsh realities of some people's harsh and unforgiving upbringings as I've ever heard of. That was beautiful and painful at the same time, definitely worth the long wait. I'm not going to spoil it for other readers, but I was shocked at the events of this chapter and frankly insensed by the realization that it's probably reality for a great many kids out there. Thank you for your strong, powerful writing and the way you tell the story not only with wit and charm, but with the kind of attention to detail and compasion for your subject that few other writers (including myself) can readily match. Bravo. You left me in tears.

After only two years (well, one year and eleven months, hehe) you did it David. I had to go back and reread all the previous chapters, and was getting a warm fuzzy for Joey and Robin until you came along, grrrrr. But besides that, great story.

Hugs, Charlie

All the links checked out except for that one you told me about already.

Hope everybody's having a great Christmas, and thanks for the kind words!

Have they been briefed that their turn is up and are they still keen to do it? Let's hope the project through which I find this site can pick up pace now that the stale-mate is over.
