Griffin was due a break. Couldn't have been any sweeter than that. Ryan- you rock.  |

Thanks guys, I'm really glad you enjoyed this story as Griffin has quickly become one of my favorite characters. I look forward to he and Devyn becoming regulars in this fantastic cast.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY, Ryan you brought Griffin back and I'm so happy you got him a loving boyfriends, but I cant believe Royce had the nerve to give Griffin a ring, if your character were real Griffin wouldn't have to shoot the bastard because I'd do it for him. I so hope Royce get what coming to him.

Ryan, great story. How do you and Dave and Samuel keep everything straight? Do you have three-person telepathy or something, that you keep in sync with each other so well on the stories? Or just exchange lots of email?
And when do we get to see Sean and Teddy and Trent and Asher again? Since Sean and Teddy can use ASL (American Sign Language) they could tie in with a story of Elliot and Devyn....

Thanks Paul. I just wrote a new Jamie story the other day featuring Jamie, Sean, Asher and special guest Linc. I think it's pretty funny and it'll be out in a few weeks.

Remember how it turned out last time Linc was with Jamie and Sean? Not good.

Paul the answer is we communicate a lot about what we're working on, while we're doing it. It was far easier to insert stories before because my pace was more plodding, shall we say, than the steady pace the universe finds itself now.
Having things relatively fresh in your mind helps in the creation, but I find myself having to go back and re-read to find bits to keep things consistent. However, that said, mistakes in the timeline and storytelling do happen - one day a superfan will come up with a list of the inconsistencies, large and small.
With Alec, Sasha, Kale and Chase at college, we will mostly see them during the summer breaks until that time frame ends. For now the main storytelling focus is on the characters whose time, full time, in SS is drawing short as they also approach graduation. Robin and Lucien will graduate together, and a year behind them is Hamster, Derek, Griffin and Devyn.
As freshmen this year, Jamie, Sean, and Asher are forming up the nucleus of, what may end up being, the final 'years' of the storyline. Other characters may step into prominent roles from time to time, like Teddy and Trent, who are established within the timeline.
Keep in mind these are notes and not to be taken as set in stone. If sone of us comes up with a great idea for a new character and how they'd fit, then I think that will happen.

Personally I'm looking forward to Kale, Chase, Alec and Sasha graduating from college. I can see bringing them all back together in perhaps a spinoff.

Since it is established that Linc is learning French, how about a story where Lucien and Robin are babysitting Linc and they run into a French speaking person or family, and Linc is the only one who can communicate decently with them? Free use of the idea if anyone wants to adapt it to a story....

Linc's French lesson comes from an event, I believe, in Ryan's own life. He may get somewhat cranky at the notion :-)

Linc doesn't speak French, he's five. He's memorized a few songs from that annoying video but it'll be a while before he understands anything he's repeating.
