I meant Jake, the hockey playing friend. I'd take it Jake, the pet, were a goat, it would get a different reaction from you.

*bumps*

Don't push it at the bottom, CJ.

Oh yes...

Chapter 20 won't be betaread for once. Just authored by a certain goddess.

So you managed to get it written by someone else? And a goddess, no less?

Très bien!

I know the suspense are killing some of you.

But I'm still not done yet.

But to keep you drunk with small shots of Moving On crack...here's a piece from the next chapter so far...

“I heard something…like a snap of a twig and crunching snow” Ben peaked out of the small window, “Oh ben câlisse… Krist!” (Oh f**king hell…) Ben hissed. We instinctively pulled up our undies and pants.

You can't leave us with just that for long... that's... that's.... that's... a CLIFFHANGER!

Glad to see you back though! Looking forward to the next chapter!

And I'll give that a great big ditto for me, Jack.

What have you been doing, trying to enjoy the summer?

Hmmmmm.....why didn't I think of that.

Thank goodness I had the Summer Anthology what with CJ and Shadowgod trying to kill off their principal characters.

Yeah, new chapter, sounds good to me.

Conner

Damn, thats no cliffhanger, that's a full fledged tease!!!

Your an evil evil evil author .

I was going to say that maybe CJ and Shadowgod are rubbing off on you, but you have taken it to a new level with the tease .

Can't wait to see what happens.

Steve

Of course I'm the master of tease.

Here's another while we're at it...

“Do you mean ‘we’?” he smirked, “If you will jump off the bridge now, I’d follow you. We should be doing the same thing together now,” he grinned, “And if one of us have the reason to jump, that reason should be for both of us, not just only one of us. Do you understand? That’s what I want from you.” I could feel emotion trying to overwhelm me.

“That’s just…whoa…just damn…” I hugged him hard, “Of course, only for the benefit of both of us and nothing else,” I replied softly. He rubbed my chest before going for the side of my neck just below the ear. Hmmm, I love this. Ben kissed and kissed there for a long time.

"So you won't try to jump off the bridge again without me?" he asked

"Of course..."

And that should add a lot of questions and hints.

You're another one of CJ's disciples, teasing the poor readers cruelly and endlessly. Should we beg on our knees now?

On your knees?

Oh sorry, I don't need a bj.

But you can beg to me to stop.

A bj? I have no clues what you imply, dear sir...

But a new chapter would be nice.

Of course...one story coming up tonight.

It depends if the goddess is in a good mood today.

She is...working on it as we speak. Luckily for you, I can multi-task.

Ta-ta!

Really nice chapter; hún er góð, if a chapter is feminine in Icelandic...

Coming out to one's best friend at chapter 20 is quite a feat, but it's also quite realistic. You're not the only one whom Steph and Ben have grown on, Jack; your readers must have enjoyed them more and more. Ben giving a hickey was quite funny. I'm curious as to where the story will go on from there.

......I agree it was a nice chapter, although "coming out" was more of carelessness on Ben & Steph parts. They were lucky that Krist was not homophobic or that someone else had happened by instead. How will Steph explain that hickey? (Turtleneck sweaters)

Thanks.

Or you can make it simple...það er gótt.

Great chapter! I'd suspected Krist was onto them a while back... His comment in Icelandinc the first time at the treehouse cracked me up!

Will be reading it soon, glad it's been updated

Ég veit alveg hvað þú ert að tala um. Þetta er sjálfsagt.
(Je vois tout à fait ce que tu veux dire, CJames; cela va sans dire.)

BTW, CJames and I always joke around in various foreign languages. The above means "I totally see your point. It's self-explanatory". Keeping this thread trilingual is important.

Haha Krist caught them in the act, how embarrassing, Heard a few songs from Bjork I like the ones I heard of. laught at the comment about Cline

It's still beyond me how you made it flawless, Françoise.

I got training from CJ. He's pretty good at Icelandic. Next week, we learn Basque. Hence you can throw in a Basque character who'll say things like "Are your undies clean?", "When is the next meal? I'm a bit low on starch." or "Is your little brother always this annoying?" in the original language.

Stop giving him ideas!!! There's only so much my brain can translate.

Sharon

lol For sure I'm stopping at Icelandic. We already did French, Vietnamese, English, and Icelandic. It's multilingual enough.

So you can breathe easlier, Sharon the Goddess.

Now that's what I call a coming out scene! Caught doing the nasty! Well done, Jack!

I was surprised at Krist's reaction to it all, given his earlier "under the breath" observation (misdirection by the evil author, I would say. ). I'm even more surprised that he decided that it was an opportune time to confront his best bud.

It's always interesting when a friend decides that's it's time you came out. I'm curious as to whether Krist will take it any further in his magnaminousness. (I hope that's a word.)

Anyway, now our two gay heroes can tease Krist on how he has to do the flowers, dinner and begging thing if he's hoping to get laid.

Conner

Isn't a goddess supposed to be omniscient? I was thinking of an African character who speaks in Bantu mixed with Icelandic with Krist, Ben translates in French to Steph while Maat throws water balloons at all of them...

I'm surprised no one even wondered why it's been a month now.

Now I'm back in Canada...woot!!!

Glad to have you back online. You'd mentioned you'd be moving, so that;s why I guessed you hadn't been writing. Moving really is hell.

So, CJ, you extorted me all this money to send in a rescue party in search of Jack knowing full well it wasn't needed? At least, I'm reassured you haven't been kidnapped by the Bigfoot of the Poconos, Jack. Hope you're doing OK in Montréal.

Why would he kidnap himself?

I'm still alive.

No surprise...I'm Jack Frost...a legend never dies.

School is shitty and assy with exam or two every f**king week.

But I'm going to finish up Chapter 21st by tomorrow (Sharon...get your red pen ready...your holiness)

I see CJ is still postwhoring as usual.

Bonwriter: C'est toujours étrange que je pense de toi quand je vois "salle d'essayage" dans les boutiques.

To everyone else....HI!!!

Now I have to annoy Joe a little about that e-fiction logging me off every time I click on a link to my stories management.

Yay on new chapter soon


Been rereading the story

Hmmm I should check Sharon's edit.

I didn't realise it was sitting on my desktop for a week now.

Edit: Tata!!!

http://www.gayauthors.org/efiction/viewsto...&chapter=21

Enjoy!!!

Awww Another delightful chapter!!!

Im glad his sister took it so well, just didnt really seem to care at all, haha.

Good chapter, now write more!!! <3

-Mike

Hint: I do have a 19 year old sister named Amanda and she didn't give a shit when she knew I'm gay. So I modeled Steph's Amanda on my Amanda.

I was wondering when this was going to show up. And you know damn well I return them within 24 hours. Pay attention, Bucko!

Sharon

Lol god think my sister would of said something similar. One kids quote on myspace we don't fill up our own gas tanks in New Jersey.

Laughed a few minuets at him driving a stick

I know you were just dying to check to make sure I haven't pressed "reject all changes" button or otherwise you would have an excuse to throw hissy fit at me.

Eh?

Luckily for you, you only did that once.

And I never need an excuse to throw a hissy fit.

Sharon

Yes...

I was unfortunate enough to suffer the wrath of the goddess.

......Great chapter Jack, and I do enjoy your interjecting French and Icelandic into the story. Makes a great read and I might even learn a phrase (doubt I'll reconize it spoken outloud though!!)

And lived to tell the tale...

Sharon

Cute chapter! Way too short, though.

Driving a standard transmission for the first time....that brought back memories.

I'm curious as to what role, if any, big sis will play in the coming chapters.

Glad to see you back in the saddle, oh Frosty-one.

Conner

I agree with the fellow canadian, Conner, Driving a standard transmission, that's was way fun to read about, hey, at least he got it faster than his mum. and the shopping in NYC and with the big sis was well written

No idea...

But I thought it was time to put her in.

Maybe to tease Steph like crazy

FrenchCanadian: bon, enfin t'as lu mon roman.

Qu'est-ce que tu dis, mon petit chou??? Je lisais ton roman au debut.

Conner

En fait, j'ai commencé à le lire il y a un bon bout de temps, je l'ai vu sur nifty...mais ça m'a pris un peu de temps pour me rendre jusqu'au chapitre 21... (In fact, I've started to read it a while ago, I've seen it first on nifty tho... and but it took me some time to get thru all the 21 chapters)

I don't want to sound rude or anything , but somethings bugs me... at the beginning ben says to the french teacher that he moved from Longueuil,, but when steph and him visit montreal it's said that they had their place on the plateau and from the referendum comment they have been there most of his life.

And big Gasp!!! the habs have won 24 stanley cup not 14

tho, now that I'm all the way to chapter 21,,, you gotta hurry up and write faster

OMG....

I just slipped up.

I'll have to fix that. Too late to do it from Nifty.

Well, I meant Montreal region. I keep calling the south shore as Montreal...with Longueuil being the ass-end of the city. Someday someday someday... Longueuil will be part of Montreal once we get those goddamned demerged cities back to our submission. But I'll have to throw in a line to clear up. You'll see in the next chapter.

And the Stanley Cup thing...I guess I won't fix it because only a hardcore Habs fan would notice. ¬¬

lol You made me do more work.


Sti...c'était pas pour toi! T'es juste un anglo de SOUCHE!!! Pfff
