It's always enjoyable to find a new author, and I've just discovered Julien by Engor.   It'/s science fiction/fantasy, which for me is often a turn-off as the writing can often be of poor quality, but this is exquisite prose, rendered into English by David Clarke (whose stories about The Nexus I have also enjoyed).   I'm only disapppointed that he hasn't written more stories!  

As always, very many thanks to our kind host for all the time and trouble he takes to provide us with reading material.  Your work is greatly appreciated, sir!

It's a superb bit of work, and one of my comfort reads when depression strikes. I've probably read it half a dozen times.

Frankly, we think such laws are silly. They do young people more harm than good. How can you possibly ask questions on a gay forum without coming out to your parents if you need consent?
So it is up to you. If you post here we assume that you are of legal age to do so or have consent if not, and we do not want to know any different
