    Adding Humor

    You know...there′s often a ′complaint′ that goes around about a lot of the Marvel Comic Book movies that I never really understood. That is the introduction of humor into their storylines. Now, there are some people that I know that could, quite literally, find something wrong with everything in existence. If God Almighty showed up tomorrow in white robes, 400 feet tall, with an entire symphony of angels singing His praises behind him, all surrounded with the brightest light ever seen by human eyes...there are people who would still shrug their shoulders and think, ″That′s it? I expected more.″ So sometimes people complain for the sake of complaining. But the same argument kept coming up over and over again. I hear friends say it, and family members, and people on youtube...I can′t help but to wonder... What the heck is so wrong about having a sense of humor? Why is that a bad thing? Have we reached a point where we all prefer to be depressed, angry, or somber all the time? I would, personally, like for my audience to have some fun with my stories the same way that I do. That′s not to say that I have to write a full-blown comedy, where there′s a joke every two or three paragraphs. But, even the darkest themed stories on my site have a touch of humor added to brighten the mood every now and then. Otherwise, they might come off as dreary and frustrating to many of the people reading. The key is to find clever ways to pick your moments, and deliver the appropriate wink and a smile when it will be most effective. So, I′d like to talk about adding humor to our stories today, and hopefully it′ll spark a few ideas to make your stories even more enjoyable than they were before. Going back to the big blockbuster movie idea, superhero movies did not invent the habit of injecting jokes and humor into their scripts. ::Gasp:: Shocker! I know, right? ″Die Hard″ had humor in it. ″Predator″ had humor in it. Everything from ″The Matrix″ to ″Aliens″ to ″Nightmare On Elm St″ had humor in them! It′s ok to SMILE! Even when Jason Vorhees is hacking camping teenagers to bits in the woods...that doesn′t mean you can′t add a slight giggle here and there. The whole idea behind humor is to have fun! So that your readers can smile and think to themselves, ″I really had a good time reading that.″ We′re all human beings. Flawed human beings. And that means that we do some silly shit from time to time. We occasionally stumble over our words and say something goofy when we don′t mean it. We sometimes walk right into a glass door while looking at that really cute boy across the street. Sometimes we go to a job interview with spinach in our teeth and our zipper down. Hehehe, I don′t know! Whatever you want. It doesn′t have to be all knock knock jokes and witty one-liners. Sometimes it′s just a coping mechanism to deal with a potentially humiliating situation. Have some fun with your characters, and allow them a few golden moments of levity away from the misery of life so they can recharge their batteries and emotionally prepare themselves for what′s to come next. When you really think about your life in general, I′m sure that you can find some times when something happened to you that, at the time, might have seemed like the end of the world. Times when you were mortified, or where you did something that you regretted...that you can now look back and laugh at. Not because it′s ′funny′, but because it′s life. Hehehe! I could write an entire novel full of those moments alone. I once joined the soccer team for a girl that I liked. I once had a crush on a girl and ended up sleeping with her brother! I used to dash out of class and practically RUN to the gym locker room because I wanted to see a cute boy from the class before me half naked and getting dressed! LOL! I′ve done some pretty ridiculous things in my life. Harmless, and perfectly logical at the time. But I can find the humor in it now, and a lot of those moments have found their way into my stories. Humor doesn′t have to make anybody double over with laughter, it just has to display some of the more ridiculous sides of life. It′s reality, reflected in a circus mirror. Use that as a tool. Stories can′t be all sex and drama. Keep it fun. There are different kinds of humor that can be injected into a situation. For example, I have a character, ′Cody′, in the ″New Kid In School″ series who has a very sarcastic, almost abrasive, sense of humor. When used at just the right moment, that razor sharp tongue of his can make some pretty deep cuts. But I also offset that ′meanstreak′ by demonstrating that he has a good heart and is willing to stand up for his friends. So readers can forgive him for verbally ripping people apart from time to time. Hehehe! In the story, ″Shelter″, I have a young character named ′Preston′, who′s comical presence comes from his innocence and naivete. It′s offbeat and weird, but he′s too adorable to do much more than shake your head and think, ″Ok...whatever, kid.″ Having characters that you can put in charge of bringing some light to a dark situation can sometimes make them a crowd favorite. As long as you don′t overdo it. You don′t want to make them into a total cartoon. The need to feel like real people, just with a comic side to them. If you′re adding humor to a story, and don′t have that comic relief character to work with, sometimes the situation itself is funny enough. Ever had your mom walk in on you while you were masturbating? Hehehe, NOT so funny when it′s happening to you! But having it happen to a fictional character in your story? There′s some comedic gold in there somewhere. Ever slip up and something stupid to someone you were head over heels in love with? Ever get a cramp in your leg during sex? Ever trip over your own feet and have a complete spill right in front of the object of your affections? Love makes us do crazy things sometimes. And if you′re able to view it from the outside, you can find the humor in some of our biggest romance failures...and bring them to your story in ways that are just as entertaining as they are refreshing. The one thing you don′t want to do is have the humor take away from the dramatic moments and serious situations that you might be writing about. Like I said, you have to pick your moments. If you have a suicidal teen, crying his eyes out, and holding a razor blade to his wrist...that′s obviously not a place for a joke. Don′t try to inject humor when two best friends are locked in a terrible shouting match, or in the center of an abusive relationship. I mean, this seems self explanatory, but you have to be careful and make sure that you′re paying attention to what′s going on in the story at that particular moment. When you use humor, it takes center stage. Every time. So don′t use it during a scene when some other emotion or situation is supposed to be the focus. The humor will undercut everything and you will lose the tone that you created for that particular scene. So it CAN work against you if you try to force it. Only do it when it feels natural. Now, I get it...not everybody thinks of themselves as being ′funny′. But you really don′t have to be a comedian to add humor to your stories. It can be very subtle. It can come from insecurity or awkwardness or outbursts of unexpected joy. Express yourself in the best way that you know how. Those awkward moments are something that we can all laugh at, because we can all relate. We remember. And looking back...hehehe, I wouldn′t change a thing. So never feel pressured to take the fun and humor out of your projects. Choose your moments wisely. And have some fun. Your readers will appreciate it. Even the ones looking for something darker. The dark side can be funny too.

with you To the place that I have spoken Come and lead me Through the darkness To the light that I long to see again I walk with you But sleep beside her If summer came and went It passed us over I see her cry I see the face I've loved Depending on the blind to find the road Blackwater Take me with you To the place that I have spoken Come and lead me Through the darkness To the light that I long to see again Blackwater Take me with you To the place that I have spoken I am leaving In the morning For the land that I long to see again Waiting For The Night (Depeche Mode) – Taryn’s Watchful Waiting I'm waiting for the night to fall I know that it will save us all When everything's dark Keeps us from the stark reality I'm waiting for the night to fall When everything is bearable And there in the still All that you feel is tranquillity There is a star in the sky Guiding my way with its light And in the glow of the moon Know my deliverance will come soon I'm waiting for the night to fall I know that it will save us all When everything's dark Keeps us from the stark reality I'm waiting for the night to fall When everything is bearable And there in the still All that you feel is tranquillity There is a sound in the calm Someone is coming to harm I press my hands to my ears It's easier here just to forget fear And when I squinted The world seemed rose-tinted And angels appeared to descend To my surprise With half-closed eyes Things looked even better Than when they were open Been waiting for the night to fall I knew that it would save us all Now everything's dark Keeps us from the stark reality Been waiting for the night to fall Now everything is bearable And here in the still All that you feel is tranquility At Night (The Cure) – Navy Pier at Night Sunk deep in the night I sink in the night Standing alone underneath the sky I feel the chill of ice On my face I watch the hours go by The hours go by You sleep Sleep in a safe bed Curled and protected

there Someone has to be there Someone must be there Moonlight Sonata (Beethoven/Dark Music Specialists) – The Moon, the Lake, and Blessed Oblivion Dark version of Beethoven's masterpiece Ocean Eyes

Strange Kind Of Love (Peter Murphy) – True Love In The Darkness A strange kind of love A strange kind of feeling Swims through your eyes And like the doors To a wide vast dominion They open to your prize This is no terror ground Or place for the rage No broken hearts White wash lies Just a taste for the truth Perfect taste choice and meaning A look into your eyes Blind to the gemstone alone A smile from a frown circles round Should he stay or should he go Let him shout a rage so strong A rage that knows no right or wrong And take a little piece of you There is no middle ground Or that's how it seems For us to walk or to take Instead we tumble down Either side left or right To love or to hate Join Me In Death (Him) – Taryn’s Dark Gift Baby, join me in death We are so young Our lives

In the night, in small spectacles he polishes old coins. He uses spit and cloths and ashes. He makes them shine with ashes. He knows the use of ashes. He worships gods with ashes. The coins are often very old by the time they reach the Jeweller. With his hand and ashes he will try the best he can. He knows that he can only shine them, cannot repair the scratches. He knows that even new coins have scars, so he just smiles. He knows the use of ashes. He worships gods with ashes. In the Darkest of the Night, Both his hands will blister badly.

  3. March came in like a lion, and it's still roaring down on us. The world is in an uproar, and if you're not affected by the current happenings, well... you're one of a very rare, lucky few. But the joy of GA is that you can escape into many different worlds through the stories if you just need to get away. How about this one? Did you read Elixir by @Comicality this month? You can share your thoughts below, but first, enjoy this interview with him! If you were an animal, what would you be? I've always loved panthers! I don't know why, hehehe, but a giant, velvety, black cat, with bright eyes? I always thought that was so cool! What do you like to do when you’re not writing? I'm REALLY into movies! I always have been, ever since I was little! I never get enough of them. The stories that people can tell with cinema just fascinates me. I also love reading books, and video games too. But all for the same reason. The 'story' aspect of it all is what draws me in. What’s one location you’d love to go to research for a story? I think New Orleans would be my number one spot. There is so much history there, and classic places that were left just the way they were built. Plus, the whole paranormal vibe is something that I've always been interested in as well. So the ghosts and magic and dark lore surrounding that area is a big thing for me. I've never been to New Orleans, but I would LOVE to go someday in the future! If you had to only work on one project for the next year... what would it be? Hmmm, it's hard to pick just one. But, if I had to choose, I think it would be the "Pak Rats" series that I've been putting together. I'm really excited about it. It's sort of tied in to the "Gone From Daylight" vampire series, but it is a big story involving the vampire mafia, and it's based on the whole Frank Sinatra and the Rat Pack era. Every character will have their own book (Frank, Sammy, Dean, Peter, and Joey) and then they'll all come together in the final book. So I look forward to making that whole thing a reality. It's so much fun writing those! Is there anything you find particularly challenging in your writing? I think the hardest part of writing stories is patience. Because I always see all of my work as a whole, and there are certain points that I want to hit and parts of the story that I want to dive right into...but I think it's important to build up to those parts of the story, and give them some meaning. Even though I want, so badly, to just jump in and write the 'exciting' parts. Hehehe! So I had to teach myself to have patience and build a dramatic and meaningful bubble around those milestone moments in a story so that they can have a bigger impact. Do you have a favorite among the stories you’ve written? My favorites actually change with my mood when I'm writing. And I'm a moody person, hehehe, so that never stays stable. I love writing happy stories when I'm happy, I love writing sad stories when I'm sad, and I love writing horny stories when I'm horny. I guess it all depends on who I am that day. Did something specific inspire you to write Elixir? Nothing that happened to me, specifically. I think it was just the idea of...what if your biggest wish actually came true, and you weren't ready for the consequences that came along with it? You know? Like, if you just fancied somebody because they were cute, but didn't really know who they were on the inside...what would an obsessive love affair involving them be like? It's that old story of someone getting everything that they think they want, and not expecting a downside to that situation. So, "Elixir" is basically just a 'be careful what you wish for' story. Do you consider Elixir a romance or a horror story? I think more horror/thriller than romance. To me, romance takes time to grow. It's not just a matter of 'want'. And this story is all about 'want', and barely about 'love'. You have a two people that just want each other, no matter what, and have decided to go to great extents to make that happen. But there really isn't a 'romance' going on there. It's just instant gratification. I really wanted that to come through in the storytelling. Just what would the warning say if there was one included in the book Terrance used? Did he just ignore it? I'd say that any book of magic would basically stress the idea of there being good and pure intentions by the user. It's all about balance. If you're casting a spell for selfish reasons, it will not end well for you. Period. Hehehe! The more you give, the more receive. The more you 'take' for yourself...the more will be taken from you in the end. So be careful. Can you sum up this story in one sentence? Hmmm..."Love will come from love of yourself, so don't force it." Don't forget to share your thoughts below!
  4. How's 2020 treating you so far? Hopefully a little better than the ups and downs faced by the characters in the story featured in this month's CSR blog... Elixir by Comicality. We all know teens have strong emotions, but this strong...? Elixir by @Comicality Length: 7,221 Description: Young Danny has suddenly found himself having strange and powerful feelings for another boy for the very first time. He's never experienced any homoerotic feelings before...but one day, out of the blue...it was like he couldn't live without him. Almost as if a 'spell' had been cast upon him. So the real question is...why is he feeling this way? What does he plan to do about it? And... ...Just how deep do those feelings go? A Reader said: very exhilarating to start off, kept you reading more ~ Tsukihana Don't forget to come back and share your thoughts about the story on Monday, March 30th!
  5. Com, thank you for continuing to update the timeless classics of New Kid in Class and Kiss of an Angel. I’ve been following the series' for quite some time now; I think from around the time of the “pineapple juice” episodes. A few recent zoom weddings and funerals at which I waved to old friends but couldn’t hug them kicked off heavy bout of unrequited nostalgia for me. ( I am also working through that with the local remnants of our old friend network.) But I had a lovely night queuing up and tabbing between New Kid and Kiss of an Angel from the beginning (and finding Arcade Junkies and Ryan’s Heart for the first time). It was a really fun soak in the lives and stories of your characters. It scratched the itch to listen to old friends tell stories we all know yet one more time, and it somehow gets better every retelling. I’m also glad you continue to update these and have them bubble back to the top part of the “new posts" lists as the anniversaries pile up. I hope new readers are continuing to find these. Because right in with the hilarious comedy and the hot sex scenes are your achingly beautiful and need-to-know moral lessons about trust and honesty and coming out and how-threesomes-are-hot-but-can-jam-up-a-relationship. Follow your heart, dream with your eyes open, and yes, beware that jerks might be trying to mess with you. Ryan’s heart really is the rock at the centre of it all, with all the loves and loyalties, and secrets and anxieties and mistakes and accidents revolving around it. And these stories show us how diverse people can be through Randy’s anxieties, Tyler’s broken (but perhaps mending) heart, Ariel’s minefield of tightly coiled springs of emotional energy, and Cody’s acute analysis, acidic patter and broken-glass-sharp emotional defenses. So, hugs and kisses and Bravo’s and roses for you.🌹🌹🌹 👏👏👏 👨‍❤️‍💋‍👨 I do really mean the ordinary definition of “timeless classic” above: but also timeless as the boys have gone from landline phone drama and skipping CD players and heavy VCRs to sexts and texts on the beach. “There aren't too many arcades left in the world nowadays, you know?" The utterly epic Spring Break lasted for 13 years. And Cody Morneau still feels like a “new” character, although he's been around for about 20 years now. I understand you have a life and many other fruitful and cool writing projects, and you’ve given us so much for so long that you don’t owe me or anybody anything more. But here’s a plea for some back-to-school episodes this September where we find out what school's like for the now out-ish boys and what Hailley’s gonna do next, and whether Tyler banging him until he was too weak to move will settle down Ariel’s kinetic discharges, and whether Tyler can reconcile his troubled past with his exciting present (and how Ariel's gonna handle that! (Or for a challenge, a story in Cody's voice?) Either way, thanks for the stories. 🍍
  6. Thought I'd start a thread to discuss Lost in Question. Wondering if anyone else has read Chapter one of the story, and what they think of it so far? It personally got my interest right away. Unfortunately as a reader, but not for the author, we were left without too much information about the Dillon and Conner. It would be fair to guess that even though Dillion is a jock and maybe confused about these new feelings that have come over him that he is realizing that it is that he is gay. But what about Conner? He may have the traits of being gay if you believe in sterotypes. But has he really done anything 'gay' ? Also, we are getting Conner's description through Dillon's eyes, which maybe blurred at the moment. I definitely am looking forward to seeing where this stroy is going. Thanks for sharing Steve
