Parker Owens Posted March 6, 2017 Author Share Posted March 6, 2017 This past weekend, Andy let Zander actually see. And touch. Link to comment
northie Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 I don't know of any other author on GA who does this. Don't get me wrong, I'm so not complaining. In fact I think it's lovely. It gently reminds me of the story and characters - some episodes come to mind immediately and vividly, others, less so. Which of course, makes me want to read that bit of the story again. 3 Link to comment

Are there other stories that were set in the near-term future when they were posted that were day & month specific? I can’t remember reading any other story set in the near-term future that was that specific. I have read a few that were set in the past that included date information. ;-) Link to comment
Parker Owens Posted March 7, 2017 Author Share Posted March 7, 2017 There are other stories...Skinnydragon's 18 Weeks of Twoey comes to mind, and Lux Apollo's Running for Home may, also....that have specific dates that are easy to mark or extrapolate. When A to Z was written, these dates were off in the indefinite sounding future. Now, they are real time, real moments. I suppose I mark the dates in part because the story still means so much to me. It also helps me remember that someplace in the world, there are real Andy's and Zander's healing, falling in love, learning to grow beyond their hurts. 3 Link to comment
Former Member Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 (edited) I still haven’t started reading 18 Weeks. I like the X-Men movies, but like along with vampires and werewolves, I avoid mutant stories. Some of us are waiting to read about Andy, Zander, and the Anderson kid.

Parker Owens Posted March 7, 2017 Author Share Posted March 7, 2017 I fear there are other scenes in Zander and Andy's lives that must be written first. But I haven't forgotten about Reed's story. 3 Link to comment

It must be horrible to be such a popular author! ;-) If you get much more demand for your time, you’ll probably just write outlines and get ‘cowriters’ to fill in the text just like those big mainstream authors!

Parker Owens Posted March 13, 2017 Author Share Posted March 13, 2017 Andy and Zander did more than just sleep last night. But today, a fight almost breaks out in the lunchroom. And now they are both very much out.... 3 Link to comment

Parker Owens Posted March 17, 2017 Author Share Posted March 17, 2017 Andy has a momentous plan, and he sets it in motion today. Tomorrow, he's going to carry it out... 1 Link to comment
Parker Owens Posted April 3, 2017 Author Share Posted April 3, 2017 Andy and Zander are married men, now. They have their lives to live, and I hope they will be beautiful. As I hope for everyone. 2 1 Link to comment

If you see this, I am letting you know that I will post sometime (like in a week or so) a new story in which we get to see our old friends. It was started as a joint effort with Skinnydragon, so there will be other familiar faces, too. 3 5 Link to comment
Parker Owens Posted August 25, 2017 Author Share Posted August 25, 2017 If you see this, then the first chapter of the new story A Fall Observation - in which we see our old friends - will have posted. Unfortunately, I made an error in posting, which means it isn't showing on the 'New Stories.' But it's there! 2 1 Link to comment
Former Member Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Whatever the glitch was, I didn’t get a Notification either even though I supposedly get notifications of all your work (even all the poetry I don’t read – sorry, it’s a poetry thing, not you). So my handful of followers (who seem to want to read all of my crazy comments or weird postings in The Pit) should see that I’ve Commented both here and on the chapter (I’m still confused about how Notifications work in relation to Following, it doesn’t make sense to me). And maybe if I add a sarcastic Comment on a certain author’s stories, I’ll stop seeing that nasty ‘reminder’ to Comment on stories as if I’ve never Reviewed or Commented on any of the stories I’ve read… Link to comment
