Sanitaria Springs is so unique. I haven’t seen the format anywhere else in mainstream media or other gay author sites. It’s incredible for creating the incredibly detailed, nuanced world it’s become, and I’m only 75% in. Props to Dabeagle!!!
And big thank you for creating this incredible world. I just began to start exploring my sexuality last summer, and the variety and wealth of experiences and relationships has been incredible for helping me understand the world and people. I’m a big fan of Robin and Lucien’s story. Robin was my idol (and in my spank bank lol) forever. I really hated the author for a bit when he tarnished Robins perfection with fear, anger, and jail. Before long, however, it just made Robin more relatable and real. What did you all think of this? I feel like I learned the lesson to enjoy what we have and not worry too much about losing it along with Robin. I feel like I would have enjoyed Circumnavigation by C James a lot more if I would have read this story first!

Welcome! I'm so pleased you found the SS universe and that you've grown to love these guys. Robin has touched me from the first time he hit the page and while he has some 'Mary Sue' flaws sometimes, I also have loved him as he's developed. I hope you continue to enojy the series and thank you for taking the time to drop a line!

I really like Robin, but also really like Lucien, Austin/Hamster, Derek, Devyn, Griffin, and Nate. Actually, I like many of the characters, but those are some of my favorites, along with Sean and Jamie. And who could forget Micah?
I also hope someone can step forward and write more about Tyson, after Robin and Lu were able to help him as much as they did.
I hope that eventually we will have tales of Robin, Lucien, Griffin, Devyn, Alec, Sasha, and Micah all living in that house. In a way, I would expect Robin and Sasha to almost be the parent figures to the rest of the household, with Alec and Lucien helping quite a bit.
And if car breakdowns ensue, Devyn and Lucien to the rescue! Micah has lots of opportunity to learn American Sign Language (ASL) with Devyn and Griffin around.

A very short story from Grayson's POV (13pgs) has been written and is just waiting the writing of a companion from Logan's POV.

Just saw your response, Dabeagle! It warms my heart that you take the time to connect with your readers too! So I’m feeling like Lucien a little bit here. Over the last few weeks, I’ve finally started running with a classmate I met three years ago as a freshman. Justin’s the kindest, most relatable person I’ve ever known, and I’ve just totally fallen in love. I had plans to move down to California to start my career, but I’d transfer to the MN office in a heartbeat if he would give me a chance. The kicker is that he has no idea I want anything more than to be friends, and I have no clue how to tell him. I made him my signature lamb dish to celebrate finishing his last technical final the other day, and we ended up having s’mores by the fire. We ended up burning the sticks as you do, and we were keeping ours close together to make them burn longer out of the big fire. Roommate was like “that’s gay how ur touching ur sticks”. And Justin said “no homo”. Does that mean he’s straight? He’s also like me before last summer since he’s always been ultra busy with 20 credits of classes and research etc. and maybe hasn’t even considered dating and his sexuality yet? How the heck am I supposed to ask him out? I’m thinking maybe a movie? Dw, I’m prepared to replace the breakfast table if it goes well 😝.

Having an extra breakfast table is a wise move :-)
I enjoy interacting with my readers through the forums and email; don't be shy.
As far as your friend goes, that's complicated not only because of your feelings but because I have a keyhole view of that relationship. No homo can be used as a joke, albeit not a great one, but many people both straight or questioning may use it to defuse a situation where they suddenly feel uncomfortable. He may have said it as an automatic reaction, or to reassure someone else that it wasn't a 'gay' thing. The situation kind of sounds liek being funny/knee jerk comment - you just can't read much into it based on the information. COntinuing to hang out with him and getting to know him and letting him know you is the best thing I could say.
Good luck to you both!

RE: mycroft Guest - I am no expert in relationship advice, But I would suggest that unless you suspect your friend is a homophobe you just tell him how you feel. What would you feel if one day he comes to you and introduces his boyfriend? He may be straight but he could be gay or bi. You can't infer much from the no homo remark. He could simply be referring to the stick play as being simple fun with no sexual overtones. Things like that can be innocent but often straight boys make stupid remarks that can be insulting or off-putting. If I had a friend I have feelings for but was unsure of his reaction I'd rather take a chance than risk regrets later. The only exception would be if I had evidence of his hostility toward gays. I'd start by saying his friendship means a lot and I have something to say. I don't want to lose him as a friend but I care deeply for him. Is there a chance he feels the same fore me? |
