Wow...what can I say as usual a fantastic chapter...quite remarkable that nothing was said until Chris grabbed Joe...and "things are starting to get weird"? Also Joe's comments to Andy...and his interaction with his school friends....Thanks for the chapter and of course the story...I can see I'll be reading the it all over again...we don't have Thanksgiving down under but a happy one anyway...Pete
Happy Thanksgiving mate! Another solid chapter. Can't wait until the next my man. Also - if you take that long between instalments again, I may stroke out. Cheers!
I'm certainly not disappointed. As delicious as ever. I am a little concerned how much I crave the next installment every time. Thanks for the great read.
Your story is the only nifty story that I have bookmarked. I do not check the link often, but every now and then I remember to look and see if you posted anything new. Tonight I was pleasantly surprised. Thank you for writing, and keep going, I will keep reading. Unless I have missed something, you have not posted about yourself here, other than what comes through your story. If you are Joe, or similar to Joe, we are the same age. Also, I grew up in Michigan and attended a smaller college here. I have mentally placed Joe at UM but am unsure if that is correct, not that it matters. Anyway, I look forward to reading more.
Hey I just wanted to say, that your story is great. I love your sense of humor and the way you experiment with the storytelling. And the way your characters in the story are portrayed so realistically. That is really a skill, I think. So I loved it, thank you for writing it and sharing it with the world :)
I've been hooked on this story since chapter 1. You've done an incredible job of making the charaacters real and portraying emotion and conflict that I think many of us experience. The new twist is fantastic. I also really enjoyed Joe's two personas; something else many of uscan relate to. I have a single request of you - I know I would like to know more about the author, and I am sure that my sentiments are shared. So, how about giving us a little background on you?
This is as amazing as always of course, but I miss Riis's internal monologue. The overwhelming weirdness of Joe is momentarily too palpable. I desire some relative sanity and emotional security P:
Favorite albums? Exile on Main Street, Sticky Fingers, London Calling, Appetite for Destruction. Also, The Chronic by Dr. Dre, and I listen to a lot of Jay-Z.
No real need to get into background details about me. I like that a lot of different people can relate to the story in their own ways (as shown by some of the comments above) and saying a bunch of stuff about myself will detract from that. Also, I'm just trying to write a good story and not be some kind of figure. Thanks for the interest, though.
Ha! Thanks! Sorry if this is the equivalent of a lump of coal, but we're probably about a month off from Chapter 18. I'm making a list and checking it many, many times.
New year, new chapter. At some point. I'll try to post an update on what's going on. Short version is that I wrote 7,000 words, then decided that I didn't love it.
My heart leaps up a little bit every time I see a new chapter has been posted. Another excellent episode.

Hey. It was worth a try! Nice choice in music. Keep the chapters coming. Thanks for sharing your gift.
ReplyDeleteHappy Holidays.
All I want for Christmas is... Chapter 18!
ReplyDeleteHa! Thanks! Sorry if this is the equivalent of a lump of coal, but we're probably about a month off from Chapter 18. I'm making a list and checking it many, many times.
ReplyDeleteNew year, new chapter?
ReplyDeleteOkay.
Never mind.
I'll be alright.
I guess...
