The Journey of Jacob and Kyle

[podiumdavis]

I just wanted to introduce myself, I'm Andrew and I'm new to GA, and I hope to get to know you all better. I have released my first chapter of my story "The Journey of Jacob and Kyle" which can be found through my signature.

 

God bless

[podiumdavis]

Chapter #3 Released!

[podiumdavis]

Chapter #4 is on the way, already deep into Chapter #5 editing. Anyone looking forward to it? This place has been so quiet..

[Billy Martin]

It's an awesome story and I look forward to every chapter, keep pumpin em out

[podiumdavis]

Chapter #4 Released! Take a look if you must, leave comments if you may, rate to keep my editors at bay..

[podiumdavis]

I rather realize that I'm basically the only one posting in here. But for those of you who've taken the time to read the story, and have or haven't left a review I wonder what you think so far, where do you think it's going? And if you think you've picked up on any of the foreshadowing I have left in the chapters. What do you expect to happen? I wonder these things. Additionally, Chapter #5 will be coming soon, one of which you will see some of the foreshadowing come to being.

[Andy78]

The delay in chapter 5 is my fault, sorry about that.

 

Evil manager making me give up my weekend to go to a conference in Birmingham And am I gonna get paid for the weekend? Of course not.

 

Read, enjoy and review.

............Great story, Jacob surprised me with non-caviler attitude at being caught by his mother. Looking forward to more.

[Andy78]

Just wanted to say congrats Andrew on reaching 50 rep and getting out of moderation. A real testament to the popularity of the story.

[podiumdavis]

Thanks It means a lot. But let's see how long it takes to get the next 50 . For this I am excited and enthralled. As always, I'm busy editing, writing, correcting. Oh the joy! I'm excited about chapter #5 coming soon. It may surprise some, shock others, and maybe please the rest. Time will tell.

[podiumdavis]

Chapter #5 has now been released. Try not to get too freaked out by some of the characters *WINK*

[Andy78]

Just wanted to say congrats on passing 100 rep. Well done.

 

Your next goal is to pass 1000

[podiumdavis]

Ha ha! Thanks Andy <3

 

Chapter #6 posted. ~Cheers~

[podiumdavis]

I don't think 1000 rep is coming any time soon Andy. 1000 is for the elite, or so I believe. And I'm no where near as such.

[podiumdavis]

Anyone alive?!

[podiumdavis]

Chapter #7 released..

[podiumdavis]

Chapter #8 Release ~CHEERS~

[podiumdavis]

Chapter #9 is now posted. Check it out! Booyah!

[podiumdavis]

Hi Andrew Was a bit scared to happen upon any spoilers as I scrolled down this topic and couldn't understand where the reps are posted that Andy is referring to. But now I realise it must be at the chapters itself Look, let me take the opportunity right now to tell you that you are just doing so flippin' GREAT with this story. As I've said somewhere else earlier this morning (when I took a break from reading it and googled your "nom de plume" and happened to get into the backdoor somewhat heheheh) I've started this story over the weekend. What struck me at first is how well it is edited (maybe one or two typos here or there...but nothing major). I unfortunately have a thing with "messy" writing, won't even bother to read a story any further no matter how good it is. The editorial presentation is of cardinal import as far as my book says. Whoever is editing yours is doing one moer of a swell job and you must be very pleased to have someone like that.

 

Anyway, just want say that initially I compared you with another famous teen author's work that I enjoy very much to read, and want you to know that as far as one Rano is concerned, that you have cut your own place for yourself in my skull-congregation. I'm so happy to have come across your work As soon as I've caught up to the point of where this story is at present, I will share my personal impressions alongside others's at the appropriate chapters. WAY TO GO, PODIUMDAVIS

HA! Forgot to mention that the way I read the stories here is by downloading them and pasting in a word.docx. Just for the record, 'cause when I come upon a typo, I actually highlight it. Who knows? Maybe some of the authors would be interested to received that highlighted word.docx to take a look...free of charge of course

[podiumdavis]

Rep is the amount of LIKES I attained, as of present its "266" and is visible on my profile and my stories. Which is why I state in my chapters to leave a like if you enjoyed the story, and possibly a review. But right now were limited to 5 likes a day for any given user. Just an FYI.

 

Fill me in on this, you said you goggled my pen name. Did you start reading from GA or Nifty? Or some other place

 

All thanks for editing goes to Andy and Lisa. There my good ol' team if I ever called one. Love them lots. I make stupid mistakes sometimes and they see them and help me correct them. Ofcourse, nobody's perfect and from time to time something will fall through.. That's just life I suppose.

And who would that be??

 

The whole highlight thing is exceptional, I wish more people would point out errors so they could get fixed.. :| Let me know

P.S. Thanks for joining in on the forum post... It's been lonely in here LOL.

Gosh, I had it all wrong as to what REP means – ta stax for enlightening me

 

Googling your Pen Name: Monday morning I woke very early for reasons unknown – maybe due to the fact that I’ve been reading one podiumdavid’s highly entertaining as well as thought provoking Journey of Jacob and Kyle The story spoke to me and as I became more and more involved with the theme and characters portrayed, at the end of chapter 7 I just couldn’t contain myself and just had to check this author out on GA. For some odd reason GA’s search engine ignored my search-requests, maybe due to some glitch it must have been experiencing (I was not too alarmed by the search problems I was experiencing due to some other members on Sunday mentioning during a chat-session that they experienced also some random glitchy-stuff. So I wondered what would pop-up should I just google your nom de plume – heheh try it. Anyway, that’s how I got onto some string where a few of you were commenting and I quickly entered my few words while all the time worrying when the page is going to fold in on me heheheh. That is why I mentioned that I got in from the backdoor.

 

Never mind the so-called “stupid-mistakes” – that’s why there are those lovely commodities called “editors” whether mechanically or humanly…it seems you prefer the human touch though, so do I .

 

The famous and well-loved other “teen author” (actually I should have said "author specialising in teen romance" ) I was referring to, and with whom I’ve started to compare your present effort with, is none other than Comsy of The Shack out Back. I’m a big fan of his corpus, he’s a brilliant word-weaver and I regard this manuscript re. Jacob and Kyle on the very same level. I really enjoy/appreciate this story of yours, Andrew – take it or leave it

 

In all sincerity I share with you and whosoever wants to read this post, just the following: Experiencing what you are busy achieving at present, I wait with abated breath to follow your writing career here at GA. There are a few other authors I’m also presently reading and am really enjoying the fruits of their labour. In due time I will offer them my inputs, but this is not the place to talk about them – this is your place to share thoughts and impressions with.

 

Highlighting typos in manuscripts: Just PM me an email address where I can send the necessary files, and I’ll gladly and happily do so.

 

In closing I just want to mention that I’m still exploring this awesome site called GA. Trying to establish where the appropriate sections are to post relevant comments etc. to. So, should I stumble and blunder along the way whilst doing so, I’m always open to correction.

 

And ta stax for the welcome to your forum.

[podiumdavis]

Very well. Though I'm still confused if you started reading the story on GA originally or nifty.

 

I prefer the human touch on anything I do. I feel it's worth while to do so.

 

And this is just me, but I don't think I deserve to be up in the same class as Comicality. Though I thank you for thinking of me in such high regards. I'm flattered.

 

Ubuntu to you, peace and love.
